Hello and welcome to this article on Dj scratch instructions. In this article we are going to
talk about 3 tips that will help you improve your scratch DJing skills. Scratch mixing has
become a defining sound of good DJ’s from around the globe. There are many DJ’s around the
globe that wish to learn the skills of scratching. Lets continue by explaining some tips you
can follow…
1. Chirp scratch instruction
The Chirp scratch sound is one of my favourite sounds to perform over a track whether it be a
hip-hop track or a breaks track. I think the sound is great! The Chirp scratch is one of the
easiest scratches to learn but probably one the most hardest scratches to actually master.
What you need to have is two turntables and a scratch mixer and a battle record. Start with
the crossfader open and the beginning of the sound on the record. What you need to do is push
the record with your finger tips and simultaneously close the fader. Then open the cross
fader and then pull back the record. Then you just keep with the rotation of that. Its best
to start off slow and then try to master it by doing it faster.
2. Stab scratch instruction
Again, to start out with the right equipment you need two turntables, left and right, a
scratch mixer and a battle record. This time start out with the beginning of the sound on the
record with the crossfader closed so you can’t hear anything on the right turntable. You then
need to push forward and open the fader into the middle while simultaneously pushing the
record on the left turntable. As you push the record and make the sound you need to push the
fader back so you can pull back the record and start from the beginning.
3. Scribble scratch instruction
Again using the same equipment as above. The scribble entails leaving the crossfader open in
the middle and leaving it on and in the mean time you want to scratch a very small part of
the record as fast as you can. So you need to get your arm in a position so you can press
down on the record with your finger tips and kind of go into a spasm so to speak with your
arm so you can create very fast scratching sounds. Try it and give it ago!
I hope you have found this article to be somewhat informative for you on your quest for DJ scratch
instructions.
