Dj stuff, tracking progress as I inch towards scratch supremacy, or at least proficiency. Personal finance information as I grow toward financial Independence or at least stability. And love, all kinds of love, self, others
This doesn’t look quite right. You are moving the fader more than you need. Each half of this scratch is just an OG flare (and the reverse). For an OG flare, all you really gotta do is a simple chirp but click the fader one time quickly in between the chirp. Keep your record hand moving forward during the middle click and that’s the OG. bring the record back sooner so it’s moving back when you get that middle click and that’s the reverse. Put them together and that’s the prism (the tear part of the prism sorta comes natural once you start chaining those flares). Also, that same exact fader movement is the 2 click flare as well except you keep the record moving forward then repeat on the way back.
Thank you. I kinda was under the impression it was more like a boomerang type movement. I will definitely give that a try. OG flare flare normally formally goes forward with one click and then it is pulled back. What you're saying is to continue to go forward with it and then as I'm pulling the record back to another OG flare. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks again for the help
@@daveab41 the Prism is just an OG flare followed by a reverse OG flare (with the added tear style hand movement to help chop it up more). The OG flare is 2 clicks forward, 1 click back. The reverse OG flare is 1 click forward, two clicks back. There is no difference in your fader hand, it does the same thing in both cases. That is, start open, close it, quickly click it then open until you pull it back past the beginning of the sample. The way I think about it is just a chirp and your squeezing an extra click in the middle. If that extra click is cutting the front chirp in half, it’s OG flare, if that middle click cuts the chirp back in half, that’s a reverse OG flare. The boomerang is stupid as it’s shown, don’t even bother with that. Any scratch (like boomerang) that are “closed fader” scratches are just convoluted ways to do the same thing easier assuming you are operating the start of the sample. For example, the boomerang starts with a slice then dice forward. That’s two round trips of the fader. If you start at the beginning of your sample, just do a baby plus half chirp forward and you make the EXACT same notes (try it, you’ll see) but only used half a round trip on the fader instead of two round trips. Make sense?
you're doing great bud keep going but I think your hand needs to be on the other side from right to left check DJ Shortee and DJ Angelo tutorials there brilliant...
Thanks! I give my left side some practice time, but not nearly as much. I have been watching some of their stuff. Question, english shortee, as in studio scratches or othrre shortee?
Just my 2 cents. Slow the break beat down to 80 or 90BPM. Ease your way up to the 120’s you’ll be able to concentrate more on the crossfader and not as much on keeping up with the higher BPM’s. Keep scratchin’!!
Thanks for your feedback, I am strictly trying to document my progress I'm at the very beginning of learning shit and Just want to have a record of my progress...and who knows, maybe ASMR fanbase will like nails on chalkboard.
I feel like you are trying to document your progress,and that's cool...but unfortunately I don't think anyone want's to watch this low level scratching...I'm sure even when you watch this back it has to sound like nails on a chalkboard...I've been where you are,I have a bunch of videos of me scratching like I knew what I was doing,but I didn't know what I was doing...that being said,nobody needs to see those videos,even me...Just thought you might appreciate an honest opinion...keep scratchin!!
