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.

I pretty much was in ecstasy.
guitar center always has a good deal on 1200s you just have to be persistent...they bought a ton of them when Technics stopped production b/c they thought the demand and value would shoot up...SO, now multiple GC's have 1200s sitting on idle collecting dust...even worse...there sales associates don't even know what a turntable is...haha

Good advice there Vekked!!!

Chappy - good start. I liked how you kept things moving and tried different samples/techniques throughout the routine so it wasn't too repetitive. Technique-wise it was still a bit sloppy, so I'd focus on drilling your basic techniques for a while and get them tightened up. It seems like you're relying a bit much on crabs with your scratching instead of more foundation/controlled scratches. Crabs should sort just be like an extra spice, but not really your main technique. Practice stabs and chirps, get them clean and fast and it'll help your overall scratching A LOT. With the juggling just make sure on your looping you're not hearing any of the back spin at all, and dropping it exactly on beat. Get looping down then worry about more patterns later.

I'd also say instead of trying to make a 5 minute long routine with everything, try to focus on making shorter routines focusing on just scratching for a whole routine, or just beat juggling for a whole routine. It's really hard to make a long routine that's good quality for just about anyone, and especially when you're still beginning it's better to focus on quality over quantity. Doing like a 1 minute scratch routine and making sure it's quality from start to finish, or a 1 minute beat juggle that's good straight through, rather than 5 minute that has some filler and stuff in it. Keep it up!

Got my new innofader pro installed in my 57-sl... took me a good hour to get used to the difference BUT much sharper and cleaner cuts then what i'm used to with my vestax mixers (even with the lag cls-1 lag spacer)...hardest part of the install was centering the curve for calibration

you are going to love the vestax 07 pro I just sold you. It's great for scratching and has reverse for EVERYTHING...I tried to learn hamster and just cant do it since my brain is programmed to work in regular mode...I may try it again one day but for now I'll use the line faders as my hamster switch haha

I already miss my mixer and I haven't even shipped it out yet...wanted one more day with my baby, haha

Yep...you see I have not gone and started with specific scratch techniques and practiced each till I have it down.

I have just been freestyling till now.

I have learnt that the scratches I can do are the Transform, Crab, Babies, and a few combo's of that.

I can flare and orbit, but not 2 clicks and combo's.

I put this down to practicing to songs and just mucking around, and being stoned.

I have started (with the looper) with the individual scratches and need to work my way up proper.
Got all the Scratch tutorial vids etc....just need to follow em, while not stoned.

FOCUS!!

a vid would be awesome

Hey, because songs change all the time and you do not get to repeat ...repeat ....repeat. With the looper, there is like 24 different loops on the one Looper tool, so you can change up as soon as you get bored with it.

But for me, it was allowing me to focus on the beat and get my practice down of certain combo's and scratches.

It also helped me find what works in certain situations. I just discovered a lot. It took the focus off the song that was playing and put the focus on my scratching. The Looper is just a simple loop and allows you to add your melody or FX over it.

You could do the same in the DVS and loop part of a track etc....but this was fun!

Till now, I have been practicing to normal tunes. Whether its Dubstep, Electro....hip hop etc.

Last evening , I used a Looper for the first time. Its a flash based tool and was coming out my Channel A (External Mixing) and that is the channel I use to scratch. So that was not gonna work, as I use TSP and no real vinyl.

Then I remembered the FX Loop on my mixer (YAY for Xone:22). So I set my Mac's prefs to internal sound and used a Mini Stereo jack to RCA cable from the Mac's sound card to the FX Send.

BOOM!

I found that practicing with a Looper is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than scratching to songs.

After an hour of practice, I was very happy with the result. Rocking lil combo's etc.

Loopers ROCK!

I wish I would have started scratching at 16, I didn't start DJ'ing until my sophomore year in college summer of....2001. I've been DJ'ing parties on/off for the last 12 years, didn't start scratching until a couple years ago, but for the time that I do practice I do pretty well...now I have a better job so i get about 1hr of practice in/day but that's for both mixing and scratching
