Goddamn If I had Rob Swift teaching me like this when I was learning how to properly scratch in and drop on the 1, it would have cut my learning time in half. These students are INCREDIBLY fortunate to have him!

DJ Rob Swift knows exactly what he's talking about 100%. For ladies and guys to totally depend on your laptop and software does not really make you push yourself to really show what you can do. You need to be able to bust your mixing RAW. That's how I learned over the years to do my mixing before Hurricane Maria damaged my house in 2017 here in the U.S.Virgin Islands And I loss all of my dj equipments, records,etc.

What i have noticed playing small garden parties here and there, the thing that interests and impresses the people when watching the dj the most, is not some scratch jerk off fest, but letting those decks fly and backspin, then catch on point with perfect timing...put the cherry on the cake with a tight juggle pattern and let the beat flow.

Im new with learning skratching, & all these awesome techniks & skills & stylez, been learning for a few years now, but, without instinct, & heart & soul gettn put into your love of DJing, & skratching, its basically like your Reading a script at a rehearsal or something, cause, without your own personality gettn implemented into your practice, & without your own feelings, & love of what we do, then its simply just a mirroring of DJing, cause you'll never have your own style, & soul into it!!

You're the living legend, Rob! I respect your work and this YT lessons a lot. I've been listening you and the rest of turntablists at early 2000, but never made a single one scratch. I was a true Hop Hop head, emcee, but never a DJ. A year ago I decided to start with a little controller to DJ a little bit. Now I own a Rane Twelves and Seventy. (After watching your tutorials I regret I didn't bought a real turntables). In past year I have watched a lot of tutorials from other guys, but I have found in yours the true meaning of real shit about music, turntablizm and all that. Thanks man, much respect! One question, how do you use headphones to monitor your transitions, split cue, half mix half cue...? One more time, thanks for everything you share with us, much love!
