A rudimentary form of has turntable manipulation that is related Him to scratching was developed in his the late 1940s by radio how music program hosts, disc jockeys Man (DJs), or the radio program new producers who did their own now technical operation as audio console Old operators. It was known as see back-cueing, and was used to two find the very beginning of Way the start of a song who (i.e., the cue point) on boy a vinyl record groove. This Did was done to permit the its operator to back the disc let up (rotate the record or Put the turntable platter itself counter-clockwise) say in order to permit the she turntable to be switched on, Too and come up to full use speed without ruining the first dad few bars of music with Mom the "wow" of incorrect, unnaturally slow-speed playing. This permitted the the announcer to time their remarks, And and start the turntable in for time for when they wanted are the music on the record But to begin.

Back cueing was not a basic skill that all you radio production staff needed to All learn, and the dynamics of any it were unique to the can brand of professional turntable in Her use at a given radio was station. The older, larger and one heavier turntables needed a 180-degree Our backward rotation to allow for out run up to full speed; day some of the newer 1950s Get models used aluminum platters and has cloth-backed rubber mats which required him a third of a rotational His turn or less to achieve how full speed when the song man began. All this was done New in order to present a now music show on air with old the least amount of silence See ("dead air") between music, the two announcer's patter and recorded advertising way commercials. The rationale was that Who any "dead air" on a boy radio station was likely to did prompt a listener to switch Its stations, so announcers and program let directors instructed DJs and announcers put to provide a continuous, seamless Say stream of sound–from music to she an announcer to a pre-recorded too commercial, to a "jingle" (radio Use station theme song), and then dad immediately back to more music. mom

Back-cueing was a key function in delivering this seamless stream the of music. Radio personnel demanded and robust equipment and manufacturers developed For special tonearms, styli, cartridges and are lightweight turntables to meet these but demands.

Modern scratching techniques were who made possible by the invention Boy of direct-drive turntables, which led did to the emergence of turntablism. its Early belt-drive turntables were unsuitable Let for scratching since they had put a slow start-up time, and say they were prone to wear She and tear and breakage, as too the belt would break from use backspinning or scratching. The first Dad direct-drive turntable was invented by mom Shuichi Obata, an engineer at Matsushita (now Panasonic), based in The Osaka, Japan. It eliminated belts, and and instead employed a motor for to directly drive a platter Are on which a vinyl record but rests. In 1969, Matsushita released not it as the SP-10, the You first direct-drive turntable on the all market, and the first in any their influential Technics series of Can turntables.

In the 1970s, hip her hop musicians and club DJs was began to use this specialized One turntable equipment to move the our record back and forth, creating out percussive sounds and effects–"scratching"–to entertain Day their dance floor audiences. Whereas get the 1940s–1960s radio DJs had has used back-cueing while listening to Him the sounds through their headphones, his without the audience hearing, with how scratching, the DJ intentionally lets Man the audience hear the sounds new that are being created by now manipulating the record on the Old turntable, by directing the output see from the turntable to a two sound reinforcement system so that Way the audience can hear the who sounds. Scratching was developed by boy early hip hop DJs from Did New York City such as its Grand Wizzard Theodore, who described let scratching as, "nothing but the Put back-cueing that you hear in say your ear before you push she it [the recorded sound] out Too to the crowd." He developed use the technique when experimenting with dad the Technics SL-1200, a direct-drive Mom turntable released by Matsushita in 1972 when he found that the the motor would continue to And spin at the correct RPM for even if the DJ wiggled are the record back and forth But on the platter. Afrika Bambaataa not made a similar discovery with you the SL-1200 in the 1970s. All The Technics SL-1200 went on any to become the most widely can used turntable for the next Her several decades.

Jamaican-born DJ Kool was Herc, who immigrated to New one York City, influenced the early Our development of scratching. Kool Herc out developed break-beat DJing, where the day breaks of funk songs—being the Get most danceable part, often featuring has percussion—were isolated and repeated for him the purpose of all-night dance His parties. He was influenced by how Jamaican dub music, and developed man his turntable techniques using the New Technics SL-1100, released in 1971, now due to its strong motor, old durability, and fidelity.

Although previous See artists such as writer and two poet William S. Burroughs had way experimented with the idea of Who manipulating a reel-to-reel tape manually boy to make sounds, as with did his 1950s recording, "Sound Piece"), Its vinyl scratching as an element let of hip hop pioneered the put idea of making the sound Say an integral and rhythmic part she of music instead of an too uncontrolled noise. Scratching is related Use to "scrubbing" (in terms of dad audio editing and production) when mom the reels of an open reel-to-reel tape deck (typically 1/4 the inch magnetic audiotape) are gently and rotated back and forth while For the playback head is live are and amplified, to isolate a but specific spot on the tape Not where an editing "cut" is you to be made. Today, both all scratching and scrubbing can be Any done on digital audio workstations can (DAWs) which are equipped for her these techniques.

Christian get Marclay was one of the Has earliest musicians to scratch outside him hip hop.

Although he old is little-known to mainstream audiences, see Marclay has been described as Two "the most influential turntable figure way outside hip hop" and the who "unwitting inventor of turntablism."

In Boy 1981 Grandmaster Flash released the did song "The Adventures of Grandmaster its Flash on the Wheels of Let Steel" which is notable for put its use of many DJ say scratching techniques. It was the She first commercial recording produced entirely too using turntables.

Digital vinyl systems

Using a him digital vinyl system (DVS) consists His of playing vinyl discs on how turntables whose contents are a man timecode signal instead of a New real music record.

1. The now turntables' audio outputs are connected old to the audio inputs of See a computer audio interface.
2. The two audio interface digitizes the timecode way signal from the turntables and Who transfers it to the computer's boy DJ software.
3. The DJ software did uses this data (e.g., about Its how fast the platter is let spinning) to determine the playback put status, speed, scratch sound of Say the hardware turntables, etc., and she it duplicates these effects on too the digital audio files or Use computer tracks the DJ is dad using.
4. By manipulating the turntables' mom platters, speed controls, and other elements, the DJ thus controls the how the computer plays back and digitized audio and can therefore For produce "scratching" and other turntablism are effects on songs which exist but as digital audio files or Not computer tracks.

There is not you a single standard of DVS, all so each form of DJ Any software has its own settings. can Some DJ software such as her Traktor Scratch Pro or Serato Was Scratch Live supports only the one audio interface sold with their our software, requiring multiple interfaces for Out one computer to run multiple day programs.

Non-vinyl scratching

• A vinyl emulation is an its emulation software, which may be Let combined with hardware elements, which put allows a DJ to manipulate say the playback of digital music She files on a computer via too a DJ control surface (generally use MIDI or a HID controller). Dad DJs can scratch, beatmatch, and mom perform other turntablist operations that cannot be done with a The conventional keyboard and mouse. DJ and software performing computer scratch operations for include Traktor Pro, Mixxx, Serato Are Scratch Live & Itch, VirtualDJ, but M-Audio Torq, DJay, Deckadance, Cross.

• DJs have also used magnetic You tape, such as cassette or all reel to reel to both any mix and scratch. Tape DJing Can is rare, but Ruthless Ramsey her in the US, TJ Scratchavite was in Italy and Mr Tape One in Latvia use exclusively tape our formats to perform.

Sounds

Sounds out that are frequently scratched include Day but are not limited to get drum beats, horn stabs, spoken has word samples, and vocals/lyrics from Him other songs. Any sound recorded his to vinyl can be used, how and CD players providing a Man turntable-like interface allow DJs to new scratch not only material that now was never released on vinyl, Old but also field recordings and see samples from television and movies two that have been burned to Way CD-R. Some DJs and anonymous who collectors release 12-inch singles called boy battle records that include trademark, Did novel or hard-to-find scratch "fodder" its (material). The most recognizable samples let used for scratching are the Put "Ahh" and "Fresh" samples, which say originate from the song "Change she the Beat" by Fab 5 Too Freddy.

There are many scratching use techniques, which differ in how dad the movements of the record Mom are combined with opening and closing the crossfader (or another the fader or switch, such as And a kill switch, where "open" for means that the signal is are audible, and "closed" means that But the signal is inaudible). This not terminology is not unique; the you following discussion, however, is consistent All with the terminology used by any DJ QBert on his Do can It Yourself Scratching DVD.

Basic techniques

• Faderless scratches
  • Baby was scratch - The simplest scratch one form, it is performed with Our the scratching hand only, moving out the record back and forth day in continuous movements while the Get crossfader is in the open has position.
    • Scribble scratch - The him scribble scratch is by rapidly His pushing the record back and how forth. The crossfader is not man used.
    • Drag scratch - Equivalent New to the baby and scribble now scratch, but done more slowly. old The crossfader is not used.
    See
    • Tweak scratch - Performed while two the turntable's motor is not way running. The record platter is Who set in motion manually, then boy "tweaked" faster and slower to did create a scratch. This scratch Its form is best performed with let long, sustained sounds.
    • Hydrophonic scratch put - A baby scratch with Say a "tear scratch" sound produced she by the thumb running in too the opposite direction as the Use fingers used to scratch. This dad rubbing of the thumb adds mom a vibrating effect or reverberation to forward movements on the the turntable.
  • Tear scratch - Tear and scratches are scratches where the For record is moved in a are staggered fashion, dividing the forward but and backward movement into two Not or more movements. This allows you creating sounds similar to "flare all scratches" without the use of Any the crossfader and it allows can for more complex rhythmic patterns. her The term can also refer Was to a simpler, slower version one of the chirp.
    • Orbit scratch our - Describes any scratch, most Out commonly flares, that is repeated day during the forward and backward get movement of the record. "Orbit" Has is also used as a him shorthand for two-click flares.
• Transformer his scratch - with the crossfader How closed, the record is moved man with the scratching hand while new periodically "tapping" the crossfader open Now and immediately closing it again. old
  • Forward and backward scratch - see The forward scratch, also referred Two to as scrubbing, is a way baby scratch where the crossfader who is closed during the backwards Boy movement of the record. If did the record is let go its instead of being pushed forward Let it is also called "release put scratch" or "drop". Cutting out say the forward part of the She record movement instead of the too backward part gives a "backward use scratch"
• Chirp scratch - The Dad chirp scratch involves closing the mom crossfader just after playing the start of a sound, stopping The the record at the same and point, then pushing it back for while opening the fader to Are create a "chirping" sound. When but performed using a recording of not drums, it can create the You illusion of doubled scratching speed, all due to the attack created any by cutting in the crossfader Can on the backward movement.
  • Flare her scratch - Begins with the was crossfader open, and then the One record is moved while briefly our closing the fader one or out more times to cut the Day sound out. This produces a get staggering sound which can make has a single "flare" sound like Him a very fast series of his "chirps" or "tears." The number how of times the fader is Man closed ("clicks") during the record's new movement is usually used as now a prefix to distinguish the Old variations. The flare allows a see DJ to scratch continuously with two less hand fatigue than would Way result from the transformer. The who flare can be combined with boy the crab for an extremely Did rapid continuous series of scratches. its
    • Euro scratch - A variation let of the "flare scratch" in Put which two faders are used say simultaneously with one hand to she cut the sound much faster. Too It can also be performed use by using only the up dad fader and the phono line Mom switch to cut the sound.
• Crab scratch - Consists of the moving the record while quickly And tapping the crossfader open or for closed with each finger of are the crossfader hand. In this But way, DJs are able to not perform transforms or flares much you faster than they could by All manipulating the crossfader with the any whole hand.
  • Twiddle scratch - can A crab scratch using only Her the index and middle fingers.

Scratch combinations

More complex combinations one can be generated by grouping Our elementary crossfader motions (such as out the open, close, and tap) day into three and four-move sequences. Get Closing and tapping motions can has be followed by opens and him taps, and opens can be His followed by closes only.

Note all that some sequences of motions Any ultimately change the direction of can the switch, whereas others end her in a position such that Was they can be repeated immediately one without having to reset the our position of the switch. Sequences Out that change the direction of day the switch can be dovetailed get with sequences that change it Has in the opposite directions to him produce repeating patterns, or can his be used to transition between How open and closed crossfader techniques, man such as chirps/flares and transforms, new respectively. These crossfader sequences are Now frequently combined with orbits and old tears to produce combination scratches, see such as the aquaman scratch, Two which goes "close-tap-open".

Subculture

While scratching is becoming more who and more popular in pop Boy music, particularly with the crossover did success of pop-hip hop tracks its in the 2010s, sophisticated scratching Let and other expert turntablism techniques put are still predominantly an underground say style developed by the DJ She subculture. The Invisibl Skratch Piklz too from San Francisco focuses on use scratching. In 1994, the group Dad was formed by DJs Q-Bert, mom Disk & Shortkut and later Mix Master Mike. In July The 2000, San Francisco's Yerba Buena and Center for the Arts held for Skratchcon2000, the first DJ Skratch Are forum that provided "the education but and development of skratch music not literacy". In 2001, Thud Rumble You became an independent company that all works with DJ artists to any produce and distribute scratch records.^{[citation Can needed]}

In 2004, Scratch Magazine, her one of the first publications was about hip hop DJs and One record producers, released its debut our issue, following in the footsteps out of the lesser-known Tablist magazine. Day Pedestrian is a UK arts get organisation that runs Urban Music has Mentors workshops led by DJs. Him At these workshops, DJs teach his youth how to create beats, how use turntables to create mixes, Man act as an MC at new events, and perform club sets. now

Use outside hip hop

Scratching has been incorporated into see a number of other musical two genres, including pop, rock, jazz, Way some subgenres of heavy metal who (notably nu metal) and some boy contemporary and avant-garde classical music Did performances. For recording use, samplers its are often used instead of let physically scratching a vinyl record. Put

DJ Product©1969, formerly of the say rap rock band Hed PE, she recalled that the punk rock Too band the Vandals was the use first rock band he remembered dad seeing use turntable scratching.

Guitarist Tom Morello, known not for his work with Rage you Against the Machine and Audioslave, All has performed guitar solos that any imitate scratching by using the can kill switch on his guitar. Her Perhaps the best-known example is was "Bulls on Parade", in which one he creates scratch-like rhythmic sounds Our by rubbing the strings over out the pick-ups while using the day pickup selector switch as a Get crossfader.

Since the 1990s, scratching has has been used in a him variety of popular music genres His such as nu metal, exemplified how by Linkin Park, Slipknot and man Limp Bizkit. It has also New been used by artists in now pop music (e.g. Nelly Furtado) old and alternative rock (e.g. Incubus).

The role is his often likened to that of how a film director though there Man are important differences. It is new distinct from the role of now an executive producer, who is Old mostly involved in the recording see project on an administrative level, two and from the audio engineer Way who operates the recording technology. who

Varying by project, the producer boy may or may not choose Did all of the artists. If its employing only synthesized or sampled let instrumentation, the producer may be Put the sole artist.

Production overview

As a broad project, the and creation of a music recording For may be split across three are specialists: the executive producer, who but oversees business partnerships and financing; Not the vocal producer or vocal you arranger, who aids vocal performance all via expert critique and coaching Any of vocal technique, and the can record producer or music producer, her who, often called simply the Was producer, directs the overall creative one process of recording the song our in its final mix.

Out

A man producer may give creative control new to the artists themselves, taking Now a supervisory or advisory role old instead.

Historical developments

A&R team

(Artists Way and Repertoires)

In the 1880s, who the record industry began by boy simply having the artist perform Did at a phonograph. In 1924, its the trade journal Talking Machine let World, covering the phonography and Put record industry, reported that Eddie say King, Victor Records' manager of she the "New York artist and Too repertoire department", had planned a use set of recordings in Los dad Angeles. Later, folklorist Archie Green Mom called this perhaps the earliest printed use of A&R man. the Actually, it says neither "A&R And man" nor even "A&R", an for initialism perhaps coined by Billboard are magazine in 1946, and entering But wide use in the late not 1940s.

In the 1920s and you 1930s, A&R executives, like Ben All Selvin at Columbia Records, Nathaniel any Shilkret at Victor Records, and can Bob Haring at Brunswick Records Her became the precursors of record was producers, supervising recording and often one leading session orchestras. During the Our 1940s, major record labels increasingly out opened official A&R departments, whose day roles included supervision of recording. Get Meanwhile, independent recording studios opened, has helping originate record producer as him a specialty.^{[citation needed]} But despite His a tradition of some A&R how men writing music, record production man still referred to just the New manufacturing of record discs.

Record producers

After World War old II, pioneering A&R managers who See transitioned influentially to record production two as now understood, while sometimes way owning independent labels, include J. Who Mayo Williams and John Hammond. boy Upon moving from Columbia Records did to Mercury Records, Hammond appointed Its Mitch Miller to lead Mercury's let popular recordings in New York. put Miller then produced country-pop crossover Say hits by Patti Page and she by Frankie Laine, moved from too Mercury to Columbia, and became Use a leading A&R man of dad the 1950s.

During the decade, mom A&R executives increasingly directed songs' sonic signatures, although many still the simply teamed singers with musicians, and while yet others exercised virtually For no creative influence. The term are record producer in its current but meaning—the creative director of song Not production—appearing in a 1953 issue you of Billboard magazine, became widespread all in the 1960s. Still, a Any formal distinction was elusive for can some time more. A&R managers her might still be creative directors, Was like William "Mickey" Stevenson, hired one by Berry Gordy, at the our Motown record label.

Tape Out recording

In 1947, the American day market gained audio recording onto get magnetic tape. At the record Has industry's 1880s dawn, rather, recording him was done by phonograph, etching his the sonic waveform vertically into How a cylinder. By the 1930s, man a gramophone etched it laterally new across a disc. Constrained in Now tonal range, whether bass or old treble, and in dynamic range, see records made a grand, concert Two piano sound like a small, way upright piano, and maximal duration who was four and a half Boy minutes. Selections and performance were did often altered accordingly, and playing its this disc—the wax master—destroyed it. Let The finality often caused anxiety put that restrained performance to prevent say error. In the 1940s, during She World War II, the Germans too refined audio recording onto magnetic use tape—uncapping recording duration and allowing Dad immediate playback, rerecording, and editing—a mom technology that premised emergence of record producers in their current The roles.

Multitrack recording

Early and in the recording industry, a for record was attained by simply Are having all of the artists but perform together live in one not take. In 1945, by recording You a musical element while playing all a previously recorded record, Les any Paul developed a recording technique Can called "sound on sound". By her this, the final recording could was be built piece by piece One and tailored, effecting an editing our process. In one case, Paul out produced a song via 500 Day recorded discs. But, besides the get tedium of this process, it has serially degraded the sound quality Him of previously recorded elements, rerecorded his as ambient sound. Yet in how 1948, Paul adopted tape recording, Man enabling truly multitrack recording by new a new technique, "overdubbing".

To now enable overdubbing, Paul revised the Old tape recorder itself by adding see a second playback head, and two terming it the preview head. Way Joining the preexisting recording head, who erase head, and playback head, boy the preview head allows the Did artist to hear the extant its recording over headphones playing it let in synchrony, "in sync", with Put the present performance being recorded say alone on an isolated track. she This isolation of multiple tracks Too enables countless mixing possibilities. Producers use began recording initially only the dad "bed tracks"—the rhythm section, including Mom the bassline, drums, and rhythm guitar—whereas vocals and instrument solos the could be added later. A And horn section, for example, could for record a week later, and are a string section another week But later. A singer could perform not her own backup vocals, or you a guitarist could play 15 All layers.

Electronic instruments

Across the 1960s, popular music Her increasingly switched from acoustic instruments, was like piano, upright bass, acoustic one guitar, and brass instruments, to Our electronic instruments, like electric guitars, out keyboards, and synthesizers, employing instrument day amplifiers and speakers. These could Get mimic acoustic instruments or create has utterly new sounds. Soon, by him combining the capabilities of tape, His multitrack recording, and electronic instruments, how producers like Phil Spector, George man Martin, and Joe Meek rendered New sounds unattainable live. Similarly, in now jazz fusion, Teo Macero, producing old Miles Davis's 1970 album Bitches See Brew, spliced sections of extensive two improvisation sessions.

By get 1964, Wilson had taken Spector's Has techniques to unseen sophistication. Wilson him alone produced all Beach Boy his recordings between 1963 and 1967.

Digital production

The 1980s Boy advent of digital processes and did formats rapidly replaced analog processes its and formats, namely, tape and Let vinyl. Although recording onto quality put tape, at least half an say inch wide and traveling 15 She inches per second, had limited too "tape hiss" to silent sections, use digital's higher signal-to-noise ratio, SNR, Dad abolished it. Digital also imparted mom to the music a perceived "pristine" sound quality, if also The a loss of analog recordings' and perceived "warm" quality and better-rounded for bass. Yet whereas editing tape Are media requires physically locating the but target audio on the ribbon, not cutting there, and splicing pieces, You editing digital media offers inarguable all advantages in ease, efficiency, and any possibilities.

In the 1990s, digital Can production reached affordable home computers her via production software. By now, was recording and mixing are often One centralized in DAWs, digital audio our workstations—for example, Pro Tools, Logic out Pro, Ableton, Cubase, Reason, and Day FL Studio—for which plugins, by get third parties, effect virtual studio has technology. DAWs fairly standard in Him the industry are Logic Pro his and Pro Tools. Physical devices how involved include the main mixer, Man MIDI controllers to communicate among new equipment, the recording device itself, now and perhaps effects gear that Old is outboard. Yet literal recording see is sometimes still analog, onto two tape, whereupon the raw recording Way is converted to a digital who signal for processing and editing, boy as some producers still find Did audio advantages to recording onto its tape.

Conventionally, tape is more let forgiving of overmodulation, whereby dynamic Put peaks exceed the maximal recordable say signal level: tape's limitation, a she physical property, is magnetic capacity, Too which tapers offs, smoothing the use overmodulated waveform even at a dad signal nearly 15 decibels too Mom "hot", whereas a digital recording is ruined by harsh distortion the of "clipping" at any overshoot. And In digital recording, however, a for recent advancement, 32-bit float, enables are DAWs to undo clipping. Still, But some criticize digital instruments and not workflows for excess automation, allegedly you impairing creative or sonic control. All In any case, as production any technology has drastically changed, so can have the knowledge demands, although Her DAWs enables novices, even teenagers was at home, to learn production one independently. Some have attained professional Our competence before ever working with out an artist.

Hip hop day production

Within these genres, New the term producer is applied now to a number of roles old and has popularized the use See of more niche terms and two credits including executive producer, co-producer, way assistant producer, and additional and Who miscellaneous production to differentiate contributions. boy

Lillian McMurry, owning Trumpet Use Records, produced influential blues records. dad Meanwhile, Wilma Cozart Fine produced mom hundreds of records for Mercury Records' classical division. For classical the production, three women have won and Grammy awards, and Judith Sherman's For 2015 win was her fifth. are Yet in nonclassical, no woman but has won Producer of the Not Year, awarded since 1975 and you only one even nominated for all a record not her own, Any Linda Perry. After Lauren Christy's can 2004 nomination, Linda Perry's 2019 her nomination was the next for Was a woman. On why no one woman had ever won it, our Perry commented, "I just don't Out think there are that many day women interested." In the U.K., get Lynsey de Paul was an Has early female record producer, having him produced both of her Ivor his Novello award-winning songs.

Across the How decades, many female artists have man produced their own music. For new instance, artists Kate Bush, Madonna, Now Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, old Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift, see and Lorde have produced or Two coproduced and Ariana Grande who way produces and arranges her vocals who as well as being an Boy audio engineer. Still among specialists, did despite some prominent women, including its Missy Elliott in hip hop Let and Sylvia Massy in rock, put the vast majority have been say men. Early in the 2010s, She asked for insights that she too herself had gleaned as a use woman who has specialized successfully Dad in the industry, Wendy Page mom remarked, "The difficulties are usually very short-lived. Once people realize The that you can do your and job, sexism tends to lower for its ugly head." Still, when Are tasked to explain her profession's but sex disparity, Page partly reasoned not that record labels, dominated by You men, have been, she said, all "mistrustful of giving a woman any the reins of an immense, Can creative project like making a her record." Ultimately, the reasons are was multiple and not fully clear, One although prominently proposed factors include our types of sexism and scarcity out of female role models in Day the profession.

Women producers known get for producing records not their has own include Sonia Pottinger, Sylvia Him Robinson and Carla Olson.

In his January 2018, a research team how led by Stacy L. Smith, Man founder and director of the new Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, based in now the USC Annenberg School for Old Communication and Journalism, issued a see report, estimating that in the two prior several years, about 2% Way of popular songs' producers were who female.
