[Sh4n3]

alright i've got a real dumb question... and it's probably pretty obvious but uhhh well i guess a good example is in this vid....

http://home.phrax.com/videos/josh_final.wmv

where he's scratchin' and then he goes into the track.. at about 4 mins.
for somethign like did he just throw down a scratching vinyl or what?
can you scratch on regular records?

haha my questions are kinda dumb but i'm just kinda pulling all the info togther cause i wanna start out.

In that Video he gots the needle on a sample on the track that has a good sample for a scratch, so he just repeats it & then pushes the record to its proper pitch, & then whips the fader to the playing channel!

You usally (or you should) use scratch records to scratch, because its made of awsome extending scratch samples. You rarely find a good part of a track to scratch with, if you do the levels arent high enough or it doesnt extend long enough! & it also ruinss your record that you just paid a whole $20 for & you'll probally never see it again!

Theres nothing wrong with that question, before I strarted & was just looking into it I asked people why the DJ used the fader when he scratches!! DUH!!!!!! But ask questions, & determine if its for you then make a decision before you spend all that cash!

soooo in non-dj terms when you see someone scratchin chances are they threw on a scratchin vinyl that they know is gonna sound good for what they are doin'?

k dumb question # 2...... if he's scratchin there and he's movin the crossfader back and forth how is that track playing steadily?
or is that why he's usin' a 3rd deck

He's not fading all the way from the track that's playing, but that's the best way to cut in and out of the track he's scratching with

He isnt fadeing out of the track completley, just enough to cut in the scratch sample!

hhhmmm dope thanx

Sh4n3 : Dude, awsome question. I had the same question when I first got my decks, as was scared to ask. There are a lot of good vinyls just meant for scratching check out Dj Rectangle - Greatest hits. Its a double vinyl with samples and a few beat loops.

thanx alot man..... i'm still workin' on the cash for the decks tho :\
