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

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.

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.

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.

@DJLiftOFF 2 жыл бұрын

🙏🏾🙏🏾 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.
