DJ Essentials | Everything You Need to Start Scratching Records 

I had no idea about the wax paper thing until now. All these years I thought DJ's were torqueing the platter back and forth against the motor.

Glad to see the art still alive. I remember 1200s with the bright yellow needles - craze back in the late 80s early 90s.

Tyler Davis was my favorite sales associate. Always called to just see what was up. I am sad to see him no longer at Sweetwater.

That was a damned fine presentation,... well done.

i was wondering what kind of record you were scratching? i need that asap

Well done.

Thank you bro

Nice.

Well done how you Break it Down!

Side note: shure needles are discontinued! For slipmats get some "butter rugs"!

You can also scratch on cdjs and controllers similar to using turntables but it ain't nothing like vinyl. I started with belt drive turntables and a Radio Shack mixer. I never used Technics SL 1200s not that I didn't like them it was because I couldn't afford them. Nowadays turntables are more reasonable in price than they was then, although RadioShack DJ gear was semi professional but still amateur. I started out djing way before digital vinyl came into play. I still love old school scratching and mixing techniques

To mix a vocal like artifacts in Art of Scratch, do i need just the original track or the acapelas? In case of snares hitting in the wrong time

What levels should Bass Mid and Treble be set at to scratch ? And what speed should you play the vynl at,, I have heard its slow setting like -8

Is it possible if you can post links to the equipment for me please and thank you.

What was that vinyl his right turntable. The sounds one

Can you please tell more about choosing these records ? 3:20

What if you want to scratch with mp3 files? Do you just change the vinyl to a scratch vinyl?

You're either a Hoosier from south of 70 or a Kentuckian? Cheerz

Number 1 thing is Vinyl, it cost alot of $$ and is extremely addictive. But is a great investment.

How much does that mess up the records and the cartridge? I really wanna get into scratching but I don't wanna have to buy 3 or 4 of each record nor do I want to buy a handful of $300 cartridges because they only last a certain amount of time.

I just started scratching but the needle keeps popping off am I being to aggressive?

can you play music on your laptop with a vinyl set up also?

Where can I find a scratch record for DVS?

This guy looks like his name would be Dj Essentials

Wow! This is about intense about making your bed and cleaning your weapon. MomsDemandAction are going to be pissed.

do you really need to know how to scratch in order to be a dj ?
