35 years of mixing and trying to scratch and you’ve broken it down beautifully. Thanks and subscribed ❤
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 : )
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
Bro this is by far best video on youtube i learning now how to scratching on my controller thanks brother

Glad it helped you out. Try to keep things as simple as possible.
I got the Numark mixtrak pro3 and serato perpetual all the expansions so this is VERY helpful TYSM!
Glad to help :)
Much luv DJ Blighty and much appreciated!
Happy To Help :)
Started 2 days ago with the little Hercules with my teens and I have gotten the basic transitions down far I still have a bit of grinding to do but I came across this so I thought to give a quick look over and I thank god I did. Thank you so so much. I will be doing until wrists fall off..😂😂😂
Thanks! Best explanation, patience, I’ll start doing this.
THANK YOU OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I SO NEEDED THIS
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.
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.
Cheers for the video. Decks are back out and it’s time to learn the art 👍
That's what I like to hear
Dope. So simple. Thanks a ton

So dope the way you showed how start off slow and then it progressed 🔥
Hope it was useful Ruben
awesome thank you
Thanks for the lecture,
Thanks for making this video
My pleasure. Hope it was useful to you.
Wow its so simple
Hi. I found this very helpful. Is there a certain type of needle for scratching on vinyl? I have technic 1200’s with a set of normal Stanton needles. Thanks
Thank you!!!
Man thank you for that! Simple
No problem!
where did you get your scratch sound?
Love how he gets into rhythm and I’m learning djing and I try to get into a rhythm
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?
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.
You do both. A DJ when flipping records might have to scratch after switching sides on the fader.
Thank you so much
Thank you sir.
You're welcome
Thanks for this tutorial ! Can you tell me where you got your desk? I can’t seem to find a decent one anywhere . Much appreciated. Like n subbed .
I've always wanted to learn how to scratch
Hi boss.. Loved ur video but I have problem..do you need too set any pads befor you can scratch as beginner... Becus have been playing. On keypad for long. Should I set any pad
Do you have to download the scratch to put on your sampler if you need to scratch
You sound like Richard Madden! The KING Of THE NORTH!!
do you need to set the curve a certain way to scratch on CDJ...
Cheers fellow cardiff man
Ok gonna start practicing
That's what's up
I have a ddj-sr2 should I keep the jogwheel length normal or slow it down? Seems really fast.
Thank you
No Problem
Hah, you just made that look so easy. Nice tutorial man
haha. Thanks, hope it was useful.
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?
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
I searched DJ Shadow after reading your comment, I think I am on the same path as you
I've been trying to scratch and transition with hip hop music, but I'm having a nightmare with this, would you recommend starting out with an instrumental playlist for a while ?
jack Girling try to match the bpm
What program do u use?
Nice video bro where I can get this Sanple’s?
He said google
What was the song that you were using for this example?
Simon Says by Pharaoh Monch
Hey yo mate I’m trying to scratch on my DJ controller and I don’t think I have big enough hands for it
Nice
Where can I get the sample and song?
What website do i go to and get scratch beats or scratch samples
Anyone asks me about scratching I send them to this video.
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?
It’s up to you. Try both hands on the platter/fader... you’ll soon discover which is more comfortable for you!
Lust for Low-End thanks for that
THX
Do I need to use the crossfader as well
What is the name and model of the controller in this video?
can you provide a link to download the sample sounds?
Hey dude just got a Numark pro 2
Pls sir don't be annoyed what app can I use to Do dj voice recording like yours
What controller is this?
iv been playing at mass events for many years and never learned to scratch. i can beat match without touching the platter, try that.
good video i will try 🤙
I was the same way till about 2 years ago and now can't stand to not scratch!
What kinda mic is that on the shelf
What’s the sample you have on the left platter?
where do we get the sounds from?
Your records!
What I really want to know is how to scratch with the platter and crossfader
A metronome is good help
Guys I know I look stupid but, what was the name of the track in the beginning?
🙏🏽🙏🏽
What is the title of the instrumental you used in this tutorial pls?
It's Pharoah Monch - Simon Says. Classic Hip Hop anthem.
Please send me a message on where to get that scratch sound
How long did it take you before you pick up scratching? Should you put in equal time on both hands? Thanks
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.
how can i have the samples for pratics
where did you get your desk?
It's a makeshift one using different IKEA parts. promusicproducers.com/how-to-build-a-studio-desk/
Can same be done with the right hand?
Ofcourse, just mirror the process
play soccer dude, you look like David Beckham 😂
Haha, thanks, I wish I did
Hello pls i need some scratch samples
good thing im a master jedi cuz i have no patience
hahaha
I have Dj City. What do I put on the search engine. Right now I'm just getting Scratch Ammo 3
Yes, that was what I was referring to, theres loads of sounds on there :)
i cant set my cue point marker to 12 pm position
Thank you DJ, What the instrumental name? please
Ok Pharoahe Monch-simon says, thanks the subtitle :)
Hope it was useful. It's a classic Hip Hop tune called Simon Says by Pharoah Monch
