Man, I love you. The way way you break it down makes all the sense in the world to me. The part where you said shorten the movement of the record to get the crispy cuts omg. I really 💯 appreciate the help...
can you scratch w/ pitch as fader? is the TTX the greatest pitch flux table stock? how do you adjust the amount of pitch within a turntable's capablities?
What happened to cutting words and phrases? Every scratch video uses the same Fab 5 “aaahhh” sound. And this isn’t hate! Nice tutorial! I just looked at a ton of scratch videos and all of them. All of them, use the same sound over and over. Still a nice vid.
Nice and sharp on that full speed. I want my chirpflare to be that sharp! My first ever combo skratch I learnt. Got a bit forgotten as autobahn boomrange and all the combos with two clicking has taken over. To those that don't skratch. It is hard to learn. Years of constant pratice and not giving up on it! Year of two you can see the improvements. Probably best to learn to cut with your right hand to progress quicker. But I'm old skool lol
as a person who grew up among dj community and worked as tech/stage manager who read all manuals and done all equipment changeovers at many festivals over 15 years i’m finally starting my own journey of djing and i loved this video as there’s no bs, just simple and coherent instructions - bloody love it!
He's working with 3 audio sources, his mic, turntable and whatever the beat is coming from. If you can't understand why he would need to constantly readjust these throughout the video you'll never succeed in mixing. He wants his voice to be clear as possible when instructions are the most important part of a section, yet lesser when the scratch is more important to hear clearly. throw in the beat and things get adjusted yet again, then back when it goes to instructions only. this is done mainly by ear, not by looking at the line on the knob etc. and some of us are never fully happy with a given mix and tend to twiddle things more than necessary. Be the one constantly wondering if you can make what your doing better, NOT the one constantly picking at how others do things...
Dudes are hating so bad at this video, trying to spread the Screw love through hate of a literal style tutorial is the complete opposite of what he would have wanted. Straight clowns.
