Around 7 years ago when I was 15, this was probably one of the first tutorials I ever watched when I became interested in being a DJ. I may not be scratching as much today. But, I'm playing in a club every weekend and love it! Thank you so much for making these videos, I don't know where or what I'd be doing without all these tutorials you made!

amazing!! after 6years of playing on vinyl, 10years learning and producing, tried some scratching... But what I've never figured out by myself is, to move the hand along with the sample... Geez, no wonder I was having trouble staying in touch with the first beat !!! Thanx man, your skillz and knowhow are just briliant

@smoshmouth Yup, just search serato scratch live and you'll see what its all about. In serato you "load" the digital track you would like to play on the deck you wish to play it on. Serato is also compatible with most popular digital audio formats. Serato also has the option to play an actual vinyl by routing the signal from the needle directly to your mixer, as if the serato interference wasnt even there.

Hey man, I would recommend Hee Haw Brayks (first one) by DJ Butchwax (aka DJ Flare) and Superseal Breaks by DJ Q-Bert. Hee Haw has one entire side made up of hundreads of samples with all the classic sounds repeated numerous times. Also Superseal is a skipless skratch record which has many cool samples to skratch with. All the best!

I just started. I bought 2 x Technics SL-1210 MK2. They are known for the good quality and is in many places clubs etc the standard turntables used. They bit exspensive though but given the quality and reputation they should be easy to sell if u change ur mind! On my mixer D(JM300) there is no options for the cross fader such as how fast it 'opens' for the sounds etc which i already miss alot cuz it is a bit too soft. But without doubt, the Technics 1210 mk2 is a very good buy

One of my Dj friends is a brilliant turntablist and Ive seen him make scratch sounds using actuall word samples as opposed to using a sample of a scratch, I would say it depends on the Dj. Also he uses alot of sound effect samples.

@steve702 Got my RMX 2 days ago. Scratching is totally different because the track won't stop if you hold your finger on the jog wheel. Take advantage of your hot cues. Make a loop on your other deck so you can practice as long as you want. I quite like the intro to "I want to get high" by Cypress Hill. But another good song is a Drum and bass track called "Rapture" by Sparfunk & Joe Solo. There is a break about 3 minutes in that speeds up. Get a rhythm going then make it faster.

Type in DJ Q-bert to learn to scratch. This is NOT the first scratch you should learn. A. he is using a channel fader not cross fader B. The first scratch you learn is a Baby Scratch which is without the fader and sounds much better than this. Credit to this bloke for giving his time up for so many tutorials. Almost all the equipment reviews I've watched have been done by this chap and he know's his stuff with DJ'ing. And a man after my own heart, vinyl purist.

the vinyl has a series of different scratchable "noise". If you just press play... (for an example)its varies of the word fresh . . . the word 1 2 3 or perhaps more. the other sounds are just solid "noise". When you move the crossfader, you actually are "cutting" the word/noise. My explaination is not clear, but i hope it helps

the "fresh" sound only lasts about 3-4 secs and is basicly just a sound. However this particular sound he uses is ony of the most used cuz it sounds great and gives is optimal for scratching to beats! U can recognize it all the way back to the beginning in the 80's

I use a finger from a washing up glove I cut off the glove to grip the record more and also doing it this way means your vinyl doesn't get dirty with finger prints. The crossfade is bettrer to use for scratching than the line fader too.

Could be a few things, 1 you need more weight on the arm, so ajust the weight at the back of the arm to go all the way forward 2 Make shure the complete unit that the arm is atached to is set al the correct height( you will see this by the black rubber going around the arm rest. 3 With some cartriges they come with a small weight fitted just below the headshell, see if that,s there. 4 Set you anty skating.

@smoshmouth You can buy new albums on old school vinyl at some record stores and on ebay. There is something called vinyl emulation which allows you to manipulate mp3's like vinyl. Most Djs who use vinyl emulation use serato scratch live... It pretty expensive but its defiantly worth the money in the long run.
