35 years of mixing and trying to scratch and you’ve broken it down beautifully. Thanks and subscribed ❤

@themax316 Месяц назад

Finally a real step by step approach

@williestyle2345 4 года назад

Yes this was a great example! Simple start point and exercise of the hand and after many repetitions, and patience, I'll learn yes!! I like this video because he concentrates on exercise as opposed to just a person scratching so fast that we don't know what he's doing, Thanks Dj Blighty - this was filmed in 2018 its 2020 now, I got a lot of catching up : )

@timllmixit 4 года назад

Nice one DJB, needed something exactly like this to get started. Mixed for 20 years and never knew where to start with scratching.

Hope it was useful Timmy

The baby scratch comes in handy when you're beginning to learn how to scratch, I like the chirp, transformer and the forward scratches they require a little more skills that's why it's a challenge for me learning how to scratch and mix with similar techniques.

@DJBlighty 3 года назад

You have to start everything slow & build up one step at a time. It's taken me years to build up speed with more complex scratches. Patience is key.

@The_Nickromancer 3 года назад

I've always wanted to learn how to scratch

@rohanc.8402 4 года назад

This was super helpful! One question though, do you find yourself scratching on one deck (left or right) and playing tracks on the other? Or is it good practice to be able to scratch on both decks?

@DJBlighty 3 года назад

Happy to hear that Rohan. It's all down to personal preference. Some people like the left or right more, some people are just as comfortable with both. Just do what feels most natural to you.

@emceeunderdogrising 3 года назад

You do both. A DJ when flipping records might have to scratch after switching sides on the fader.

@Electrotranqui 6 лет назад

@tariqdarwish7379 4 года назад

Would love a advanced level video! More scratching with other songs instead of the sound

@creeker124 5 лет назад

Entroducing by DJ Shadow changed my life years ago and inspired me to want to make music/ trip hop that uses samples ( particularly from horror movies). I don't really see it as a potential career, more like a hobby putting albums together where I bring my love for music and horror movies together. Think trip hop acid jazz and music/ effects/ dialogue from horror movies.. The problem is, I have zero idea where to start, and I'm not going to be able to ask DJ shadow for advice - so any help? Am i looking in the right area here? Is there a difference between being a dj and what dj shadow does?

@kemurinine4272 4 года назад

Yeah DJ shadow is awesome, definitely watch some more tutorials here sounds like you'll want to do a bit of sampling as well. I'd recommend just starting out with a DAW and use that to sample loops, dialogue off the internet its alot cheaper and easier than doing the real thing and going crate digging. Also work out where DJ shadow got his sample froms so you can learn how to look for the right kind of samples In the right places, I think he sample David Axelrod alot

@lennardbehnke3681 4 года назад

I searched DJ Shadow after reading your comment, I think I am on the same path as you

I have a ddj-sr2 should I keep the jogwheel length normal or slow it down? Seems really fast.

@E_Rico 4 года назад

How do you know which hand you use to scratch? Is it easier to use your dominant hand for scratching and your other hand for the crossfader?

@lustforlow-end6022 4 года назад

It’s up to you. Try both hands on the platter/fader... you’ll soon discover which is more comfortable for you!

@E_Rico 4 года назад

Lust for Low-End thanks for that

@wisdomsamuel9438 2 года назад

What I really want to know is how to scratch with the platter and crossfader

@lanegrow6001 4 года назад

What is the name and model of the controller in this video?

@richplatt9913 4 года назад

How long did it take you before you pick up scratching? Should you put in equal time on both hands? Thanks

@DJBlighty 3 года назад

Years to be honest Rich, it takes a lot of patience. Some people grasp it more quickly than others, it all depends on your co-ordination skills. That's entirely up to you, I think everyone has a side they prefer to scratch on though.
