    Great video. Just like your first tip of only using the record, I also recommend only using the crossfader to practice too. Find a long tone sound, and practice just the crossfader. Works great for transformers!

  • @FarebrothaChronicle
    @FarebrothaChronicle 8 місяців тому

    I can't get that sound off the gear I have which is a Traktor Kontrol S3 Mk3 even with the crossfade set all the way to Sharp. The crossfader seems to act just like the upfaders. Maybe time to ditch this gear and get the FLX10 or Rane Four.

    Question, I've been mixing a long time, I'm super comfortable mixing live, gigged my ass off in my 20's, but never learned to scratch. My ancient mixer doesn't have a cross fader curve though. Any advice?

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  8 місяців тому

      Depending on serious you are about learning to scratch, my advice varies lol. If you’re super serious, I’d get some turntables and a mixer with a crossfader. Doesn’t have to be the most expensive ever, but just something so you get the full effect.
      If you’re easing back in and aren’t like 110% invested, I’d get a controller with motorized platters like the Rev 7 or Rane one.

    • @mattspazmatic
      @mattspazmatic 8 місяців тому

      @DJLiftOFF Coo. I've got well calibrated SL-1200 Mk5's, and my mixer is a Pioneer DJM 300. Is there anything I can do to help learn on the mixer that doesn't have cross fader curve?
      And I'm very serious about learning to scratch. Part of the reason I stopped mixing was the lack of challenge, so I started producing instead. Now I'm back at the decks, and want to play live again. P.S. I don't ever sell gear, I got my Technics from the old days. I baby my gear too, they still niiiicceeee.

      I always recommend motorized platters for scratching but you definitely want to pick a piece of equipment and stick to it. So if you’ve been learning on the Rev 1, it might set you back a little bit on the Rev 7 because they’re so different.
