Something that is really important and not demonstarted in the video is the real reason behind stickers.So in turntablism(/scratching) the stickers are more used for beat matching,which consist of scratching both the beat and the sample you will scratch on for the most part.Accurate showed pretty well the value of scratching from a producer's standpoint but there's so much more in it that this specific unit (and any other with motorised jog wheels) that can be done to enrich the music you are paying. Everything demonstrated in this video can be done and recreated in any kind of turntable and dj controller regardless if it spins or not (even though analogue has some sligh more demands but there are so many budget of them tha can do the job) so do not be intimitated by the price of this controller.Scratching and turntablism is something that talent and gear only enrich the final product but the base of it is the train you have put on it.

loving this collab. synth nerds and turntablists need more interaction. Also PSA: anyone with a DJ controller - don't forget you can use your controller with vsts and such. those faders and knobs are expensive for a reason (live performance). Also, if you're just starting with scratching - get the classic record: qbert superseal and the dvd qbert scratch university

Are the moving platters a gimmick or do they make it feel any easier to scratch, I have a dj202 and get on fine with them not moving although I wouldnt mind markers for juggling. I wonder how reliable the moving parts would be over time?

The last song being more chill with longer samples was pretty cool. Not a style I would normally associate with turntablism. 👌🏼

Real turntables is still the master when it comes to scratch.

@perrypelican9476 4 жыл бұрын

Theoretically the controllers with platters can be made to react exactly the same as real turntables. I never got into DJ stuff much but I know about physics. Can you adjust how much of the sample or track is played with one rotation. If so then a small platter can do the same as a large one or vinyl record. Scratching amazes me. The fact that it is still such a big thing is crazy. It's just another sound. I do like the sound but am surprised it is still so important.

Its funny to me that they asked Accurate Beats to do this tutorial... Just to be clear: I like most his beats and respect him as a beatmaker/youtuber... BUT.. Ive allways thought that scratching is by far his biggest weakness. His cuts are not only basic (which can be a good thing when you're trying to find a balance between musical/technical) but they are also mostly quite repetetive. Ive noticed the repetitiveness after bingewatching like 10 beatmaking videos of him (ALL dope beats)... but the cuts he laid on the beats were basically the same. btw. you can see that he's not 100% sure about his cuts when you gave him the music at the end to scratch to... it was really hard to watch and listen to... So anyway: Keep making these dope beats! (and practice yo cuts!) Greez

@loopop 4 жыл бұрын

They is me and I did it because I love his style - even though not technically as quick as the “masters” - which often scratch incessantly. Indeed the track at the end was a curve ball challenge I was glad he accepted. Scratching cross genres is something I wish people would explore more

@AccurateBeats 4 жыл бұрын

And this is the one and only reason I haven't made any videos on scratching on my channel :) I know I'm not a good scratch dj but I like the sound of scratching on top of my beats... So that's why I use it :) I appreciate the honesty and I think you're 100% right in everything you're saying here.

Definitely not his strength. Those weren't crabs...more like twiddles. I realize he doesn't claim to be a turntablist but when you title the video, "How to Scratch" it implies that you're featuring someone that knows how to scratch, watch this if you want to learn when in fact he's learning himself.
