Scratch DJ Equipment: Setting up Mixer Without Hamster Switch

Video Transcript

"In this video I'm going to show you how you set up your mixer if you didn't get a mixer with a reverse, or Hamster switch. Now, I said what the Hamster switch does, is it basically reverses the cross fader, so when the cross fader is at one turntable, the turntable's actually off. So, if you have a mixer that doesn't have a Hamster switch, all you need to do to kind of fake make the Hamster switch, is take the input from the right turntable and switch it with the input from the left turntable. Now by doing this, what you're going to do, is you're again, if you don't have the Hamster switch, when the cross fader is on one side this turntable's actually going to be off, and the other one is going to be speaking at full volume. And, if, the same thing goes for the other way. So all you really need to do to make a fake Hamster switch is by switching the inputs of each turntable."
