    Around 7 years ago when I was 15, this was probably one of the first tutorials I ever watched when I became interested in being a DJ. I may not be scratching as much today. But, I'm playing in a club every weekend and love it! Thank you so much for making these videos, I don't know where or what I'd be doing without all these tutorials you made!

    amazing!! after 6years of playing on vinyl, 10years learning and producing, tried some scratching...
    But what I've never figured out by myself is, to move the hand along with the sample... Geez, no wonder I was having trouble staying in touch with the first beat !!! Thanx man, your skillz and knowhow are just briliant

    @FoGGeRdk 17 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just started. I bought 2 x Technics SL-1210 MK2. They are known for the good quality and is in many places clubs etc the standard turntables used. They bit exspensive though but given the quality and reputation they should be easy to sell if u change ur mind!
    On my mixer D(JM300) there is no options for the cross fader such as how fast it 'opens' for the sounds etc which i already miss alot cuz it is a bit too soft. But without doubt, the Technics 1210 mk2 is a very good buy

    In a way yes, because to stop it from skipping it must be set at the correct height. type in " q bert", he gives a good description.

  • @OllieDrummond
    @OllieDrummond 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    if you get the CD that you used to install serato, there's a track on it called "scratch sentence" if you stick that in serato the first sound is pretty much what he's got

  • @michaelburchillvideo
    @michaelburchillvideo 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @steve702 Got my RMX 2 days ago. Scratching is totally different because the track won't stop if you hold your finger on the jog wheel. Take advantage of your hot cues. Make a loop on your other deck so you can practice as long as you want. I quite like the intro to "I want to get high" by Cypress Hill. But another good song is a Drum and bass track called "Rapture" by Sparfunk & Joe Solo. There is a break about 3 minutes in that speeds up. Get a rhythm going then make it faster.

  • @paper1312
    @paper1312 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @smoshmouth Yup, just search serato scratch live and you'll see what its all about. In serato you "load" the digital track you would like to play on the deck you wish to play it on. Serato is also compatible with most popular digital audio formats. Serato also has the option to play an actual vinyl by routing the signal from the needle directly to your mixer, as if the serato interference wasnt even there.

    @TerryTibbs-UK 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One of my Dj friends is a brilliant turntablist and Ive seen him make scratch sounds using actuall word samples as opposed to using a sample of a scratch, I would say it depends on the Dj. Also he uses alot of sound effect samples.

  • @RussC79
    @RussC79 16 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey man, I would recommend Hee Haw Brayks (first one) by DJ Butchwax (aka DJ Flare) and Superseal Breaks by DJ Q-Bert. Hee Haw has one entire side made up of hundreads of samples with all the classic sounds repeated numerous times. Also Superseal is a skipless skratch record which has many cool samples to skratch with. All the best!

  • @KarmaSpaz12
    @KarmaSpaz12 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't have real turntables but this helps immensely, I just have to judge the "speed" of what's playing and the sensitivity I put on the pressure plates. Thanks :)

  • @ellaskins
    @ellaskins  18 ปีที่แล้ว

    The two are fine, but to get (if you wish) the sound to sound as it should you need to be going at exactly the same speed as the turn table.

  • @FoxMintcandyGaming
    @FoxMintcandyGaming 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    the vinyl has a series of different scratchable "noise". If you just press play... (for an example)its varies of the word fresh . . . the word 1 2 3 or perhaps more. the other sounds are just solid "noise". When you move the crossfader, you actually are "cutting" the word/noise.
    My explaination is not clear, but i hope it helps

    Could be a few things, 1 you need more weight on the arm, so ajust the weight at the back of the arm to go all the way forward
    2 Make shure the complete unit that the arm is atached to is set al the correct height( you will see this by the black rubber going around the arm rest.
    3 With some cartriges they come with a small weight fitted just below the headshell, see if that,s there.
    4 Set you anty skating.
    Try to log on th Q bert on youtube , he too has a few vids!
    all the best Johnathan

  • @pbwilsonuk
    @pbwilsonuk 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Type in DJ Q-bert to learn to scratch. This is NOT the first scratch you should learn. A. he is using a channel fader not cross fader B. The first scratch you learn is a Baby Scratch which is without the fader and sounds much better than this. Credit to this bloke for giving his time up for so many tutorials. Almost all the equipment reviews I've watched have been done by this chap and he know's his stuff with DJ'ing. And a man after my own heart, vinyl purist.

    the "fresh" sound only lasts about 3-4 secs and is basicly just a sound. However this particular sound he uses is ony of the most used cuz it sounds great and gives is optimal for scratching to beats! U can recognize it all the way back to the beginning in the 80's
