Would be good to hear what some of the scratchers on this board can do and what types of music everyone scratches to, good or bad.:D
Me and my mate had a good laugh the other day after watching that Darth Vader video, tried copying that and then scratching out other recognisable themes like a team and rocky then trying to guess what we where scratching out.:stongue:
I've mainly been trying to scratch over hardish trance and techy stuff, will put a bit of it up later so everyone can have a listen. |

Heres a little bit of the scratching I have been trying to learn with the help of my friend. Goes off a little towards the end but with more practise it should get better.
ME SCRATCHING
So come on guys, show me what you are doing with them samples.:D |

are you cutting by hand with the fader or using a transformer? if using a transformer effect, you may get a nicer result by setting it to half the time you've got it there. if cutting by hand, well, go twice as fast.
me, i can't cut for , but i'm still learning i guess. |

Thats got the fader written all over it... good work man... anyway The transformer effect is cheating IMO and should only be used if you cant be ed or have mastered using your fader... The best effect to use in tablism is echo on a full loop (i have a denon x1500 by the way) and wind it down and chop it up...
Ill get on tonite and see if i can record some good gear for you myself and show some small samples of tunes that give me some of the better scratching breaks... good ones are very few and far between unfortunatly...
Oh yea the best ever scratching tutorial and what did wonders for me is This bad boy
By the way what was that track you were cutting away too Luke? |

Yeah just scratching with the crossfader, dunno about going twice as fast tho the damn thing is making my wrist ache just doing what I'm trying atm. :D
I'm borrowing my mates DNX for a bit while hes got my Mixer and EFX so I'll give that echo thing a try later, do you use echo 1 or echo 2?
The tune is an oldie but a good un, Lunn & Janes - Alive. |

Sorry kids tryed to record some gear last night but iam getting a bog load of feed back when its connected to the pc... i will try a few diff ways tho soon so bare with me.
Use echo 1... with echo 2 I cant seem to think of any practical uses for it.
I like to put it on to the 4/1 bar setting and turn it around to a full loop... on normal beats you cant really tell that its echoing... just sounds normal then turn the knob down to 2/1, 1/1...etc makes a cool speed effect allowing you to do your own buildups. while at the same time use the sampler to play the 4 bars back
i got stacks of tricks if you want to know anymore let me know |

Check you've not got your microphone boost on in the advanced properties for play control, I had the same prob after I did a reformat and this was the culprit.:D |

You ever watched a scratching video? You move the fingers, not the wrist ;)
Swipe 3 or 4 fingers against your thumb...then make believe the xfader is the thumb and your thumb is a spring :p
From what I see you're just taking your thumb and one finger and slamming it against the side :p |
