The Definitive Tap Centering Tutorial — How to Tap Center

I've wanted to remake this guide for a while now. The elusive tap centring, (yes I'm writing 'centring' & 'centering' to bit both US/UK searches), is a tricky process to learn, but there is simple logic behind it, and in this video I hope to teach the process to the best of my abilities. From how to tap, where to strike, what's a good wheel speed and how this technique can increase the efficiency in your studio.

The old version of this video has a lacklustre narration and I think the visuals are improved massively, to hopefully really clearly demonstrate how I tap centre pots, and most importantly, teach myself to SEE when the pots are centred.

Thanks for watching — I hope this helps!
