after them few posts about "x-faders or channel faders" and such it prompted something that ive pondered over for ages but forgot to ask....
why do no trance/"insert style" Dj's use turntablist skills? surely im not the first person ever to ponder this topic? just because its asociated with hip-hop does not mean we cant use the tricks they do all the time. granted it shouldnt be to the same amount but still even in moderation the effects could have real potential.
this would give you a use for the crossfade heheh :p
as try doing the crap or juggling without one! |

well with that type of music sharp changes in songs and beats goes with the feeling...
however with trance the fllowing feeling is interupted when you use those techniques.
so it si a stylistick choice utilized by most to maintain flow. |

could it be incorperated using a 3rd deck? then flow could be kept as there would always be 2 songs on the go (not explaining this well) and have the 3rd deck to do trck as "background" to the flow of the other 2?
if you get what i mean.... |

The two main turntablist things are beat juggling and scratching. Beat juggling generally doesn't work because due to the constant beat of trance/house/prog it just ends up sounding like a terrible beatmatch job. Scratching tends to fail because a scratch makes a rather harsh noise, which tends to seem really out of place. Speed is also an issue.
But if you know what you're doing, you can get away with it in some situations. |

| I've heard times where turntablism skills sound purely amazing in trance sets. I think the main thing to remember when using some tablism skills is to NOT scratch over the entire set. It might sound great in a certain part of a song, or a certain transition, so use it there, but nowhere else. |

| In Melbourne there's a DJ that goes by the name of Master Kaos, he spins hard trance and the reason his style is so unique is he scratches during his sets and is always sampling another hard trance track at the right time, if he has the time to do so. Hard trance differs from trance quite a bit, but my point is DJs that are really technical, whether it be with trance or hard trance, are rare... yet Kaos pulls it off and he is a fkn genius in doing so. |

| Hard trance seems like it'd lend itself to scratching rather well compared to the more melodic trance, but it's still amazing to hear scratching in hard trance sets :) |

yer i know i was being anoying due to the number of posts about x-faders recently :p
anyhoo the scratching being "too harsh" is not true as you can have mild scratching depending how you do it plus what song you use and how loud you are scratching the tune.
i was really just curious to know weather it is worth my while getting a few of my mates to tech me these techniques as i know 3 damn fine scratch dj's one of which has won quite a few battle comps so would be nice to learn from :p :) |
