Sí alguno tuvo la oportunidad de conocer el tocadiscos sabe lo que era tomar el disco de acetato, limpiarlo y colocarlo en su lugar, luego ver como el tocadiscos movía su aguja y la colocaba en el disco mientras este giraba, eso era todo un espectáculo de la modernidad del momento.
Recuerdo que en casa de mi abuelo había uno y siempre le decía a mi tía que me dejara colocar el disco, podía dejar correr todas las canciones de inicio a fin o también se podía levantar la aguja y colocarla en la canción que uno quería, porque si te fijabas bien tenía líneas que representaban la ubicación de cada canción.
Cuando sonaba un lado, simplemente le dabas vuelta para escuchar las canciones del otro lado, recuerdo que tenían entre 5 o 6 canciones por lado.
En ese tiempo estaba todavía muy niña pero creo que no existía la piratería en la música porque nadie tenía como elaborar esos discos para después hacer las copias, así que en ese tiempo todos eran originales y las agrupaciones ganaban lo justo por sus ventas, era un mercado competitivo pero libre de copias.
Luego de grande cuando mi hermano tuvo una minitheca pude apreciar de cerca el trabajo de los Dj’s al hacer mezclas de música con estos discos de acetato, usando un mezclador en el que se ponía a sonar dos discos a la vez, teniendo la posibilidad de silenciar uno mientras el otro sonaba la música.
La técnica que usaba el Dj consistía en ajustar las revoluciones de cada disco y en un momento dado sonaban los dos a la vez, en una forma armoniosa en la que se notaba la mezcla pero de forma talentosa, que promovía seguir el ambiente de fiesta.
Realmente grandiosa época la que se vivió con el disco de acetato, todavía hay personas que los conservan como recuerdo y testigo de los momentos vividos, de las fiestas bailadas y hasta de los amores conquistados oyendo la buena música que sonaban.

If anyone had the opportunity to know the turntable, they know what it was like to take the acetate record, clean it and put it in its place, then see how the turntable moved its needle and placed it on the record while it turned, that was quite a spectacle of the modernity of the moment.
I remember that at my grandfather's house there was one and I always told my aunt to let me put the record on, I could let all the songs run from beginning to end or you could also pick up the needle and place it on the song you wanted, because If you looked closely, it had lines that represented the location of each song.
When one side was playing, you just turned it over to listen to the songs on the other side, I remember they had between 5 or 6 songs per side.
At that time I was still very young but I think there was no piracy in music because nobody had how to make those records and then make copies, so at that time they were all original and the groups earned just enough for their sales, it was a competitive market but free of copies.
After growing up when my brother had a minitheca, I was able to appreciate closely the work of DJs when mixing music with these acetate discs, using a mixer in which two discs were played at the same time, having the possibility of silencing one while the other played music.
The technique used by the DJ consisted of adjusting the revolutions of each album and at a given moment the two sounded at the same time, in a harmonious way in which the mix was noticeable but in a talented way, which promoted following the party atmosphere.
A truly great time that was lived with the acetate record, there are still people who keep them as memories and witnesses of the moments lived, the danced parties and even the loves conquered listening to the good music that sounded.
I have very find memories of vinyl records. I spent almost every weekend going to a local market to buy them and then spent a lot of time in my room listening and looking at the record sleeves. It was great to look at the artwork and sing along with the lyrics!

For me it was also a time that left me very fond memories listening to good music and getting to scratch the records from listening to them so much.
