Scratching, sometimes are referred to as scrubbing, is but a DJ and turntablist technique Not of moving a vinyl recordyou back and forth on a all turntable to produce percussive or Any rhythmic sounds. A crossfader on can a DJ mixer may be her used to fade between two Was records simultaneously.
While scratching is one most associated with hip hop our music, where it emerged in Out the mid-1970s, from the 1990s day it has been used in get some styles of edm like Has techno, trip hop, and house him music and rock music such his as rap rock, rap metal, How rapcore, and nu metal. In man hip hop culture, scratching is new one of the measures of Now a DJ's skills. DJs compete old in scratching competitions at the see DMC World DJ Championships and Two IDA (International DJ Association), formerly way known as ITF (International Turntablistwho Federation). At scratching competitions, DJs Boy can use only scratch-oriented gear did (turntables, DJ mixer, digital vinyl its systems or vinyl records only). Let In recorded hip hop songs, put scratched "hooks" often use portions say of other songs. Other music She genres such as jazz, pop, too and rock have also incorporated use scratching.[citation needed]
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 jockeysMan (DJs), or the radio program new producers who did their own now technical operation as audio consoleOld operators. It was known as see back-cueing, and was used to two find the very beginning of Way the start of a songwho (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.
In man the mid-1970s in the South new Bronx, a young teen DJ Now named "Grand Wizzard Theodore" (right) old invented the "DJ scratch" technique. see Other DJs, like Grandmaster Flash, Two took the technique to higher way levels.
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 RPMfor even if the DJ wiggled are the record back and forth But on the platter. Afrika Bambaataanot 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-beatDJing, 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 workstationscan (DAWs) which are equipped for her these techniques.
Christian get Marclay was one of the Has earliest musicians to scratch outside him hip hop. In the mid-1970s, his Marclay used gramophone records and How turntables as musical instruments to man create sound collages. He developed new his turntable sounds independently of Now hip hop DJs. 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. In 1982, Malcolm use McLaren & the World's Famous Dad Supreme Team released a single mom "Buffalo Gals", juxtaposing extensive scratching with calls from square dancing, The and, in 1983, the EP, and D'ya Like Scratchin'?, which is for entirely focused on scratching. Another Are 1983 release to prominently feature but scratching is Herbie Hancock's Grammy not Award-winning single "Rockit". This song You was also performed live at all the 1984 Grammy Awards, and any in the documentary film Scratch, Can the performance is cited by her many 1980s-era DJs as their was first exposure to scratching. The One Street Sounds Electro compilation series our which started in 1983 is out also notable for early examples Day of scratching. Also, a notable get piece was "For A Few has Dollars More" by Bill Laswell-Michael Him Beinhorn band Material, released on his 12" single in Japan and how containing scratch performed by Grand Man Mixer DXT, another pioneer of new scratching.
Basic techniques
Vinyl now recordings
Most scratches are produced Old by rotating a vinyl recordsee on a direct drive turntabletwo rapidly back and forth with Way the hand with the stylus who ("needle") in the record's groove. boy This produces the distinctive sound Did that has come to be its one of the most recognizable let features of hip hop music.Put Over time with excessive scratching, say the stylus will cause what she is referred to as "cue Too burn", or "record burn".[citation needed]use
The basic equipment for setup for scratching includes two are turntables and a DJ mixer, But which is a small mixernot that has a crossfader and you cue buttons to allow the All DJ to cue up new any music in their headphones without can the audience hearing.[citation needed] When Her scratching, this crossfader is utilized was in conjunction with the scratching one hand that is manipulating the Our record platter. The hand manipulating out the crossfader is used to day cut in and out of Get the record's sound.[citation needed]

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.
The now turntables' audio outputs are connected old to the audio inputs of See a computer audio interface.
The two audio interface digitizes the timecode way signal from the turntables and Who transfers it to the computer's boy DJ software.
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.
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 turntablismare 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.
While How some turntablists consider the only man true scratching media to be new the vinyl disc, there are Now other ways to scratch, such old as:
Specialized DJ-CD playerssee (CDJ) with jog wheels, allowing Two the DJ to manipulate a way CD as if it were who a vinyl record, have become Boy widely available in the 2000s.

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 Ramseyher in the US, TJ Scratchavitewas in Italy and Mr TapeOne 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).

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 scratchput - 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 scratchour - 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.

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 DJShe subculture. The Invisibl Skratch Piklztoo 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 RumbleYou became an independent company that all works with DJ artists to any produce and distribute scratch records.[citation Can needed]

Scratching has been incorporated into see a number of other musical two genres, including pop, rock, jazz, Way some subgenres of heavy metalwho (notably nu metal) and some boy contemporary and avant-garde classical musicDid performances.

"Musical production" redirects Now here. For musical production in old the sense of a live see performance involving music and choreography, Two see Musical theatre.
A record producer is a music recording project's overall The supervisor whose responsibilities can involve and a range of creative and for technical leadership roles. Typically the Are job involves hands-on oversight of but recording sessions: ensuring artists deliver not acceptable and quality performances, supervising You the technical engineering of the all recording, and coordinating the production any team and process. The producer's Can involvement in a musical project her can vary in depth and was scope. Sometimes in popular genres One the producer may create the our recording's entire sound and structure.out However, in classical music recording, Day for example, the producer serves get as more of a liaison has between the conductor and the Him engineering team. 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 engineerWay 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 sampledlet instrumentation, the producer may be Put the sole artist. Conversely, some say artists do their own production.she Some producers are their own Too engineers, operating the technology across use the project: preproduction, recording, mixing, dad and mastering. Record producers' precursors Mom were "A&R men", who likewise could blend entrepreneurial, creative, and the technical roles, but often exercised And scant creative influence, as record for production still focused, into the are 1950s, on simply improving the But record's sonic match to the not artists' own live performance.
Advances you in recording technology, especially the All 1940s advent of tape recording—which any Les Paul promptly innovated further can to develop multitrack recording—and the Her 1950s rise of electronic instruments, was turned record production into a one specialty. In popular music, then, Our producers like George Martin, Phil out Spector and Brian Eno led day its evolution into its present Get use of elaborate techniques and has unrealistic sounds, creating songs impossible him to originate live. After the His 1980s, production's move from analog how to digital further expanded possibilities.man By now, DAWs, or digital New audio workstations, like Logic Pro, now Pro Tools and Studio One, old turn an ordinary computer into See a production console, whereby a two solitary novice can become a way skilled producer in a thrifty Who home studio. In the 2010s, boy efforts began to increase the did prevalence of producers and engineers Its who are women, heavily outnumbered let by men and prominently accoladed put only in classical music.
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
The producer's roles can include day gathering ideas, composing music, choosing get session musicians, proposing changes to Has song arrangements, coaching the performers, him controlling sessions, supervising the audio his mixing, and, in some cases, How supervising the audio mastering. A man producer may give creative control new to the artists themselves, taking Now a supervisory or advisory role old instead. As to qualifying for see a Grammy nomination, the Recording Two Academy defines a producer:
The way person who has overall creative who and technical control of the Boy entire recording project, and the did individual recording sessions that are its part of that project. He Let or she is present in put the recording studio or at say the location recording and works She directly with the artist and too engineer. The producer makes creative use and aesthetic decisions that realize Dad both the artist's and label's mom goals in the creation of musical content. Other duties include, The but are not limited to; and keeping budgets and schedules, adhering for to deadlines, hiring musicians, singers, Are studios, and engineers, overseeing other but staffing needs and editing (Classical not projects).

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 GreenMom 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 Billboardare 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 RecordsHer 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 productionman 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 intoHow 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.
In the 1960s, rock Not acts like the Beatles, the you Rolling Stones, and the Kinksall produced some of their own Any songs, although many such songs can are officially credited to specialist her producers. Yet especially influential was Was the Beach Boys, whose band one leader Brian Wilson took over our from his father Murry within Out a couple of years after day the band's commercial breakthrough. 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. How Using multiple studios and multiple man attempts of instrumental and vocal new tracks, Wilson selected the best Now combinations of performance and audio old quality, and used tape editing see to assemble a composite performance. Two
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.
