I've always been a fan of the dj from linkin park because of the sounds he scratches. I'm pretty sure he doesn't use regular break samples. I heard he scratches tones(synth tones, guitar tones, etc) but I know he has a delay/echo effect and a good amount of reverb, but when he scratches his sounds, it sounds like an filter lfo when he pushes the record back and forth. So I'm pretty sure he uses an auto envelope filter. But you can also hear the sounds slowly go down in pitch. How do you get a pitch down effect in an envelope type fashion?

i'm not gonna go into too much explanation with this all i'm saying is everyone tells me that he just using breaks, but I watched a video when they fist started out and the guitarist says that their dj uses tones. I've played with different effects to make a tones sound like a break and the only effect that i learned that can change the shape of a tone is a filter like an envelope filter/auto wah. when I watch him scratch i notice he doesn't always hit the break perfectly everytime he scratches the sample, like how most dj's use cue points with breaks on a record. Thats how i know he's using filter effects and possibly pitch shifting effects to make his tones sound like an ahh break or a laser beam sound. I hope this doesn't sound crazy.

Like Calv said, he's just using the plain old generic samples. If anything, he might be adding some sort of effects using the EFX 500 he has right in front of him.

Originally posted by CalvP I don't scratch, so take this with a pinch of salt... The first clip i don't hear anything remotely complicated? it just sounds like a standard battle record tone to me. The second clip is the standard ah sample, this time with a simple delay (presumably from the efx 500) with perhaps a touch of reverb, but it could just be the live feed. Could be way off, but i think you're over complicating it personally

I won't argue with you guys all i know is I watched someone on youtube copy that style and he told that he deffinitly used a filter effect to get that sound. Thats all I know. But thanks for replying you guys are awesome.

Im not expert on Pioneer effect units, but I'm pretty sure the EFX500 has one of those lame ass LFO filters they put on everything.
