Hi, i use cd players (cdn 88 and cdj 1000) and need some help on figuring out some good things to scratch. I see all these videos with people scratching like crazy on the cdj1000, but i dont know what samples they scratch. If anyone can point me in the right dircection, it would be appreciated, as I am going crazy trying to scratch right. Thanks.

If you wanna scratch, you're in the wrong forum. Scratching with trance? Hmm, you can try, but I don't think you'll achieve succes...

This is the DJ forum, where you talk about DJing.There's a whole 'nother world of DJing and turntablism aside from beatmatching two records that have a 4/4 beat that I'm not sure you're aware of.
And scratching with trance is possible..it's just gotta be done in a right way.

Thanks, heh

If anyone else has anything to add,it would be appreciated....I'm pretty aware that its hard to scratch with trance, but wanted to get your guys input if you knew anyother sounds that are good for scratching.

i haven't tried scratching even on my TTs... supposedly its one of the hardest aspects of Djing and it intrigues me... I still love the sounds that various scratches can make. I know some about scratching with a vinyl... but ive never put it to use...
Now with a cdj? Seen it done, heard it can be done well so your best off trying to find out better in the pioneerprodj forum, just about everyone there has got one.

for tablism-ish things it's usually best to get (a couple of) special tablism records (doubt they come out on cd?). They contain beats, and separate samples.

its not meant for any genre.....


i'd like to hear it done well with trance


done well













any DJ who can scratch to trance and makes it sound good.

hell yeah...

A backspin can sound nice at appropriate times, but scratching in trance?
It just doesn't sound right.

Doesn't Johan Gielen scratch in his sets sometimes?

That's not it. I'm just saying, that you find very few places in trance music that scratching is appropriate. You can't deny that.

Maybe that's just because nobody has pioneered in dance + turntablism yet. And turntablism is not the same as DJ Jean making fart noises over PPK - resurrection.

For example Marco V has actual turntablism skills.....who knows...maybe he'll use them some day in dance?
