Yeah i have never seen anyone else point that out!! Great thzt he included that detail and didnt over look it. Im uding the xdj rx2 and it helped with the curve
This is the best tutorial imo on scratching using the fader. I'm at work, so I don't have a turntable infront of me. I'm literally practicing the movements, so when I go home, I'll have the technique drilled in my head.
@@DJLiftOFF I wish I found his videos in 2008. Back then, good tutorials on ANY subject were hard to find, then you just give up. Oh well, it's never too late.
@@DiscoMatty79 Same man. I was late to his videos too. And it's crazy that they're 10 years old (or older I think) and can still be used today. But yessir. Never too late!
Man I’ve been DJing for 20+years and one thing I’ve always wanted to learn but never took the time to was learn how to scratch. You break it down and make it easy to understand the platter/fader movement. Definitely gonna start my daily practicing
I've watched so many videos and yours is the first that made sense and was very clear on what to practice first to get better. Also helped a lot because I went out and got the rane 12 and 72 set up like you have because I wanted the vinyl and controller feel so thank you
@@DJLiftOFF Exactly what i was gonna say - Real DJ who talks Real Straight forward talk so you can actully learn - Thx Liftoff , you and Qbert are the only people i can watch ..... Just skills and no BS ... ;)
To be a great teacher, you have to be able to understand it inside out, be able to perform it fast and slow, bit by bit and be able to convey the information to the individual in a method so they can understand and perform it. The greatest reward as a teacher is when you observed the individual is performing it.
Been wanting to start scratching for a while, most tutorials I've viewed haven't explained things in a way that clicked with me. Your vids are simple and straight to the point. Subscribed and will be watching for more vids. Many thanks!
Man, comments like this really help me keep pushing forward. Really glad you're finding the videos helpful. Thank you for watching! You're more than welcome. Many more vids to come!
Yessir! THIS is the Tutorial I needed to give me the confidence to start scratching. I won’t Lie, most people don’t want to pay for a Scratching DJ/Mixologist, so as a Mobile DJ, I would just blend beats and call it a Night. But the Other Side of me just wants to be able to do it whenever I feel like doing it.
🙏🏾🙏🏾 glad you found it! I used to feel the same way man! I remember someone told me I wasn’t a “real dj” because i couldn’t scratch but that’s bs to me. Everyone doesn’t “have” to scratch, but that definitely pushed me to learn at the time, then I fell in love with the progression.
You definitely broke it down I still have my old school Numark NS7fx. My next controller is definitely the Rane one.Rev7 is kool but it’s the Rane one for me. The cross fader is like butter.
You sir are very good at instructions and breaking down each individual step in what your lesson is. You should go back a few steps and do lessons in song structure, counting, BEAT MATCHING, to go in to the steps of scratching!!! Your gift of breaking down step slowly and up close is GREAT
Thank thank you for the video young man thank you I'm an old school DJ working with a Pioneer flx 10 and a set of cross 12s all pioneer I believe in Pioneer anyway I do love the video it did help me out a little bit more with the scratch because I'm trying to learn this flx 10 .old school DJ bringing it down to Florida from New York City
Much love man, appreciate the comment 🙏🏾 the FLX10 is pretty dope, and I still have to yet to try out the cross 12s but I hear they’re great as well. I know it’s a big change from turntables to controller so I hope it’s going well 💪🏾
Great content, I'm an intermediate Dj and recently purchased the Pioneer DDJ REV 7. Coming from an American audio Encore 2000. It's a world of difference and alot to learn on that board but i see your mixer in the videos is basically whats built in the Rev. Looking forward to learning alot from these tutorials your giving. Thanks
That's dope I still yet to learn how to control my movements with both my hands to have them in sync like that. It seems when I try to churp scratch I loose the movement of my fader hand. Great demo I definitely am gonna try it the way you showed it. Thamks
Bro you are a lifesaver my guy like I’m really good Dj Nandi and I don’t know how to do this you just simplify this to the point to where I finally understand it thank you so much you’re a blessing peace and blessings to you
Thanks mate,been mixing since 93(house music)been trying to scratch all that time,have got some knowledge and can do a bit but this really helped,cheers bruv,from the UK
Yoo thank you! This the video ive been looking for thank goodness it was suggested. The other videos were just doing the scratches or not explaining like you did!
Great stuff bro. I’m elevating my scratch game and this tutorial helps a lot. I am using the full Rane setup. I love to use different scratches as transitions and also to enhance the listening pleasure of the audience.
Nice vid. A big key to scratching is small fader movements. The less you travel on the fader, the quicker and cleaner the cut will sound. Also, using short sounds makes the cut sharper/ cleaner.
Just subscribed!! I wish I had your tutorials at the start of my scratch journey!! Nice work 👏!!!! I used to watch endless videos of mix master Mike , Qbert , Roc Raida, JMJ, and terminator X . So I was in good hands... but it was hard to see and understand the methods. REST IN BEATS. JMJ & ROC RAIDA . HIP HOP GODS!!!
Appreciate the sub man, honestly 🙏🏾🙏🏾. Personally love Qbert, a crazy talent! Opened up for mix master mike in college one time and he literally was scratching the hell out of some techno/edm tracks. Craziest in person routine I’ve seen to this day. S/O to everyone you named 🙏🏾🤞🏾
Most of my events are weddings & parties where all I do is mix songs together, but I'm thinking of getting the Rane One to add that extra scratching flavor to my mixes. Glad I watched your video tutorial. You broke it down perfectly & will use your tips to better my skills. Appreciate you brotha! New Subscriber here. 🎧👍
How are these turntables working?? The platter actually spins around like the Tech 12's? Does it feel heavy like the Tech 12 motors? Does it take a bit of physical pressure to stop the spinning with your hand, like the Tech 12's? If you put your hand on the "record" to stop it... the platter is actually still spinning UNDER the "record"?? Sooo... RANE just looks at the "records" spinning speed to change the speed of the song? Would the "record" stop moving if you only stopped the platter by holding the edge? I can't believe these have been out for two years! I completely missed this until TODAY! I started on Tech 12's. I still use tech 12's. I've bought a small cheap mobile CDJ thing.. it's ok but I can't deal with tiny platters that don't move! And the Pioneer CDJ prices are insane. THEEEEESE however.... hmmmmm!!!
Nice video man.. I come from the old days of vinyl and 'beats breaks and scratches, DMC records :) I wanna get back into it for fun and hopefully get a rane one some time. Peace bro.
please keep making videos of when you scratch but show the camera at an angle where we can see the pattern on the track, like in your previous video of transitions with reverb.
Learn how to scratch from starting from the bare basics with my scratch course!
www.patreon.com/djliftofflessons
In your scratch course, do you evaluate student videos?
AN important thing you need to tell people is the curve setting may not be on their hardware but in their software
I appreciate how you described the Curve dial and Left to Right / Right to Left examples
No doubt! Definitely one of the most important things to understand before you begin scratching!
Yeah i have never seen anyone else point that out!! Great thzt he included that detail and didnt over look it. Im uding the xdj rx2 and it helped with the curve

@@DJLiftOFF you and DJ Angelo are great teachers
Really appreciate that!! It’s crazy you say that because I literally learned to scratch from DJ Angelo. Awesome teacher!

This was an amazing tutorial. Thank you
Seriously agreed!!!
The thumb and middle finger method for the fader 🔥🔥🔥 opened up a lot for me
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 it’s the simple things sometimes. Glad that helped!

Thanks LiftOFF,liked+subbed✌
Appreciate you!! 💯
what if the hand motions are done in reverse/opposite when cutting instead of forward then cross fader closed?
That would be hamster style scratching that I believe you’re referring to - the motions are similar, just in reverse.
Men you got me pulling my 12 back out Thanks, but I feel that my platters are kinda hard I think I have them set up wrong for some reason.
You ever get it figured out?
@@DJLiftOFF NOT REALLY , I see other platters like urself so smooth.
please keep making videos of when you scratch but show the camera at an angle where we can see the pattern on the track, like in your previous video of transitions with reverb.
Definitely will do. This is one of my earlier videos where I hadn’t purchased equipment to have the overtop video footage. But I got ya covered 🙏🏾
Damn good job brother, explaining and breaking it down for the rookies. Thanks!
Appreciate you! Have a new scratch pattern dropping for beginners soon as well 💯
