This sounds good mate, you using the efx to chop it up?
Got my mixer and efx back now but I need some leads to put the efx through the send and return on the mixer, atm I just have it inbetween my mixer and amp so the effects are just over the top of all the channels.
If you have the mono leads what make and model are they as I'm having trouble finding some decent ones.

actually no, i had no access to an EFX so i had to use its lesser cousin, the FX unit on the DJM600. used the transform at 1/4 beat. would have added more stuff if i had an EFX as i could tweak more than an effect at once.
not exactly sure how to hook one up as i've never done it. |

That, is scratching. |

| get off your high horse man. i'm not claiming i can do it without and FX unit, and for your information, it IS sratching. scratching is anytime you drag a record to and fro for a version of the portion you dragged. what it is not, is cutting, because no faders were involved. no faders are involved in a single baby scratch, yet it's still scratching. |

Ok, well it's not scratching to me. Scratching is more than moving your hand back and fourth on your cdj with the transform on which auto cuts it.
Real true scratching with a fader...sounds much better. |

man, chill. you have to get some perspective on the subject. if i were doing this at a turntablism competition, i should be beaten up to hell and had rocks thrown at me. if i was claiming to be a turntablist, just as well.
but, i'm just looking to incorporate bits and pieces of that art, into my mixing in a way that it's simple to do, sounds good (IMO) and it doesn't suffer from the main problem that turntablism as an art suffers; turntablism, for the most part, is consumed by it's own principles, meaning if a technique is the hardest to master, even if it doesn't sound all too pleasing, it is the most valued. although it is amazing to watch, i myself couldn't listen to it for too long.
i'm looking just to mix stuff up, keep stuff varied. for instance, in a set, i'd like to do some of this, some straight up mixing, some 3 deck mixing, layering accapellas, live remixing with an FX unit and looping, and soon, i might mess with some ableton goodness and some live production with a friend of mine (wants to whip out his synths [specially interested in his 303] and jam to the rhythm of what i'm spinning).
i'm not focused on turntablism, although i would like to learn it, but this is just something fun i learned and play around with.
"Scratching is more than moving your hand back and fourth on your cdj with the transform on which auto cuts it."
actually, scratching is exactly moving you hand back and forth on your cdj/turntable. what it is NOT, is turntablism. because, well, it is a scratch technique, but i would agree with you if you said it isn't turntablism, rather just an extension of sampling and effects based on a scratch technique. scratching is just an action, that produces a sound. actually making it musical, that's turntablism.
either way man, just chill. in the end, it's what about comes out the speakers. |

| Everybody is copying Zabiela now. I havn't seen one person come anywhere near close. |

bah, whatever. yeah, so i did copy his technique. it was fun. what's the big deal, he doesn't have a patent on using a tranformer, now does he?
either way, just chill already man. we're just trying to swap some knowledge and experiment. |

Does it matter?
I you can't do it as good as Zabiela does, its your problem.
If someone is messing around just for fun and can't meet the Zabiela-standard, it's their problem.
Chill out. |

lol, chill winston.
Nobody claims to be a scratch master, were just some guys trying new stuff if you don't like it or its not "real scratching" no problem no need to bash everyones attempts at it.
If people didn't copy other people no one would learn new stuff, people can take the Zabelia technique and try their own variation at it and mabey even add more who cares.
Anyway back on topic and lets have some more samples.:D |
