This clip is from Eddie Haliwell on the Essential Mix. After about an hour and half, he just busts loose and starts scratching, and its badass.

Now, I've practiced scratching alot, but, just lame stuff, like cutting, babies, chirps, and never stuff that is fast. What eddie is doing is just FAST! I need to know what he is doing. That was really cool. The file is here. It's only 1 meg. have a listen!

I can hear the part when he's crabbing, yeah. It's a really fast 4-click scratch. But what about the part where he is making like..an alternating sound..like a baby, but, waaay cooler.

I have that scratch record lol..

It seems like every single scratch sample that I've heard in any song is from the stanton vinyl beat counting system record.

Anyways it sounds crazy,, I wish I could scratch like that! i can never get the crab going properly.

Could you point me towards an exact time to look at in your clip?

certainly!

seconds 15-21, ,and 44-47. i guess that would have helped earlier! sorry

Well, to me, that sounds like a simple back and forth scratch, just done quickly. I could be way off here, but that's what I'm thinking.

That's what I was thinking, but it sounded too good. Too crisp and separated. Do you think maybe he's chirping really fast?

Its a possibility. He could be having a seizure on the crossfader, too.

LoL! Sounds like a well planned seizure. I need to practice whatever it is.

that's some crazy scratching, i always wanted someone to teach me how to scracth hehe

I found exactly what it is. On my record, with that generic "aaaaaAHHH" sound, there is one that goes *click*"aaaaHHHH". All he was doing was babying over the *click*. It's the exact same sound. And he was crabbing over the "aaaaHHHH" and reverse tearing back over it.
