scratch videos Posted on: 30.01.2013 by Yong Aptekar I know that we have a "who scratches" thread, but let's make this one the "post your scratch videos" thread. I got my superseal 2 records today, so I will have a new video to post.Let's learn from eachothers videos, and who knows, maybe we can have a DJTT DMC comp. | |

Annalisa Shogren 26.12.2013 | Hi guys, not so much a video... But here are two little phone loopers from Thudrumble that should keep you all going. No doubt it's probably been posted on here before, but what the hell.

Petra Arra 18.11.2013 | good lord! haha i can't even begin to scratch like that. all I have been doing is scratching 1 pattern for a few mins, then change to another. if i do a combo, I always mix up. |
Georgene Fetterhoff 18.11.2013 | Thanks a lot! sorry for my mistake 2 times same post!! |
Lilliana Perris 15.11.2013 | Thats pretty cool mate! |

Nelida Ghouse 16.10.2013 | word, 4 finger crabs are hard and depending which way you cut they have limited use... if you're hamster 4 finger crab gives you 5 sounds, which is doesn't really flow great compared to an even 4, or 3 for triplets. |
Brunilda Kora 16.10.2013 | I've got scratches that I ONLY do with my right hand on the record. I'm right handed, but my strongest scratches are with my right hand on the record. For left hand on record, I only have some very basic scratches (stabs, babies and flares, mostly). When I do juggle, I only do the more complex scratches on my right record hand. Keeping it basic (but tight) with my left hand works for me.

Nelida Ghouse 16.10.2013 | stick with whichever side comes more naturally for the most part. Learning to be ambidextrous is good too for sure if you feel you're going to need it, it's good when you go to learn beat juggling or for being able to cut on both sides while mixing. It might help you progress a bit faster if you focus on 1 side to start though, don't feel like you NEED to be completely equal on both sides or anything, just if you want to. And it should definitely take you more than a few days to get the crab down, that's your issue right there. I believe it took me a couple months to get it down half-decent back in the day, I remember carrying around a broken fader to practice all the time when I wasn't at my turntables. |
Petra Arra 16.10.2013 | thanks for the reply patch and vekked. I have been trying but to no success for the past few days maybe I should continue on for more. I have only one turntable and been switching it left on one day and right on the other day so i can practice on both hands equally. so far, I can say that I can do scratches easily on my left hand on the record and I am right handed |

The only difference is that a 3 finger crab achieves 4 sounds when you're hamster, and 3 sounds when you're regular, but once you're good enough you'll be able to do both ways pretty much. Most people say crabbing is easier hamster because you get more sounds for less effort, but the flip side might be that you get more control over them normal. This is all just for the beginning, normal and hamster pretty much become the same once you get to a certain level.
Or maybe I've just described the difference between open and closed fader scratches? And normal fader scratches are normally closed and hamster fader scratches are normally open???
Dunno. I've confused myself now. |
Brunilda Kora 16.10.2013 | The same way as you do ANY scratch with the xfader reversed (hamster). The main thing is, every click is reversed when you scratch hamster style - so with the fader set to normal, it will be your fingers that are turning the sound ON, and your thumb that turns the sound OFF (you'll hear the "clicks" here). When you crab scratch hamster style, it's you THUMB that turns the sound on, and your FINGERS that turn the sound OFF (you'll hear the "click" here). It's all down to personal preference. In my mind (I might be wrong - maybe Vekked can correct me if need be) - normal fader crabs are like quick transforms 9turning the sounds on individually) and hamster crabs are more like flares (where the focus is on the gaps, or clicks). Or maybe I've just described the difference between open and closed fader scratches? And normal fader scratches are normally closed and hamster fader scratches are normally open??? Dunno. I've confused myself now. |
Petra Arra 16.10.2013 | quick question guys, how do you crab in reverve xfader? i find it difficult than in normal style. |
Federico Vilas 10.09.2013 | I did mod the line faders, so they are just as loose as the cross fader... I appreciate the feedback!... I get your point about releasing the record and sounding repetitive... I am at that point now where I have a decent amount of scratches down...i'm just trying to piece them all together and work on combos, develop a style, etc... I will def take your advise and work on controlling the record more to manipulate the sound to make sure it doesn't sound so repetitive... fast Chirps are challenging on my table b/c it moves A LOT...but they are getting better too... |
Nelida Ghouse 10.09.2013 | did you mod the line faders or they still kinda stiff? nice stabs and transforms. I saw the odd chirp in there, try to incorporate more chirps. Focus on your pitch, don't release the record as often, you let the record play pretty frequently which makes your cuts sound more repetitive than they are (even though you're varying your technique/rhythm, if you're hitting the same pitch a lot by releasing the record, it's going to sound a bit repetitive). Practice pushing the record and pitching it the way you want it, rather than letting it play and letting the motor dictate your pitch. I guess I'll put this here since it got deleted from the mix/production community :/. A showcase I did in NY a few months back, mostly my last year's stuff from the various world finals. |
Federico Vilas 09.09.2013 | keeping the thread alive...after view the previous video I deleted it...my timing was WAY off...on a good note here is an updated video. I'm starting to get the feel of the line faders for the Z2, though it's not perfect tears...they are much improved. I like recording practice sessions b/c when I am in the mix I do not notice some of the things I see in the video... |
