This is a pretty cool video, Loopop. Accurate is also a good presenter and you guys make for a very chill and laid back collaboration. Thanks for sharing, always a pleasure to watch your vids and see what's what.
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
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.
Thanks for this clear-headed no-nonsense video in the style of both Loopop and Accurate, and featuring three of my all time favorite UA-camrs!!! I could pay money for a co-produced song with each of you three doing their thing ;-)
Really great stuff, I learned a lot in this and really enjoyed it. I'd love to see more guest presenters talking about subjects a bit outside of your usual wheelhouse
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
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
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.
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.
You are too deep into Eurorack when, while he explains stuff about manipulating sounds over time, you think of the knobs that do this in Morphagene or Clouds :D
I ont know the hardware response, buti would look on youtube to check it out - if you haven already. The bigger the jogs the better. Dont know if you can get that in entry level?
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?
All this video iv been thinking the s4 mk5 just has to have an angled screen above with full wave forms why has this not been done its the final peice in the puzzle u can use the laptop / monitor for browsing only
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.
Absolutely one of the best scratching tutorials I've seen. Clean, easy to understand, and a nice step by step. Thank you!
Thanks on behalf of @accurate!

This is so amazing. Never understood how scratching even works, this is the an amazing overview.

Whoa...there I was thinking what- the-what you got some kind of mixer bridge monitor?....but unfort it was a video effect....ho hum, one day soon

This was really helpful! I couldn't find any other videos on scratching with the Tractor. Thank you!

Accurate Beats you’re a class act, my dude.
Hey cool, two of my favorit UA-camrs in one Video.
Love both you guys, thanks for the vid!
“Nice!”
The last song being more chill with longer samples was pretty cool. Not a style I would normally associate with turntablism. 👌🏼

Perry Pelican theoretically scratching makes my butt wet
Real turntables is still the master when it comes to scratch.
Nice vid and nice tutorial by Acc! 👌
BRILLIANT😁.....ah loopop you will be addicted lol....brilliant idea for video...thanks both!💗🙌😎
Accurate is a good guy hope hes well with all that bad news on him
really cool video. do more stuff like this.
also now i wanna see this dude scratch like slipknot does cause that stuff is so sick to me
I have the same exact mixer. When I scratch, the cue point shifts latency. How do I correct this. Is it preference, mixer setting....?
Always love the content you upload mate, thanks a lot... Please more coverage on that event :)
Thanks so much! That’s pretty much what I have as it was a very short event - but check out the channels of the others attending!
@@loopop My pleasure! No worries, what you keep providing really interesting stuff after all :) all best to you.
Accurate is the bomb
gooneybird808 you’re the bomb
Ooh l Love the large screen!!! I need One please!!!
Thank you so much 🙏
Surprised you didn't go for the easy comparison... 'so the crossfader is like a gate, and the platter is like cv' :) nice variety.
You are too deep into Eurorack when, while he explains stuff about manipulating sounds over time, you think of the knobs that do this in Morphagene or Clouds :D
And how can a fader be a gate? Shouldn't it be a mixer? Now I have to rewatch this.
@@VictorSteiner check the fader curve switch position.
can I scratch with traktor kontrol s2 mk3 which doesn't roll jog during the playback?
I ont know the hardware response, buti would look on youtube to check it out - if you haven already. The bigger the jogs the better. Dont know if you can get that in entry level?
I really want to buy this controller. Only thing holding me back is the size of the wheels and I just hate that jog wheel feel.
I need help youtube... how do I upvote a video twice?
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?
Good tutorial. Thank you!
I hope grandmaster flash is still getting check.
Makes me want to see him scratch a moog sample.
Hello , how to turn off crach mode on jog , that only can speed up and low the track like on cdj player ? Thanks 🙏
All this video iv been thinking the s4 mk5 just has to have an angled screen above with full wave forms why has this not been done its the final peice in the puzzle u can use the laptop / monitor for browsing only
I've read that Flux doesn't work when on TT mode. Was there anyway to overcome this?
Switch to jog mode to Flux than back to TT mode when you’re done.. It’s pretty quick.
where can I find the sample pack used in the vid?
What are the monitors above s4?
just a video overlay
nice !
Whats that wide screen on the top?
It’s not real, just a video overlay
@@loopop seems so real lol
Do you have Loopop logo stickers?
Hey Pete, thanks so much for asking! Not currently but hopefully in 6-8 weeks I’ll get some merch set up and will look so take care of that as well
I missed the hole screech stuff to me it just sounds bloody annoying lol,,,
Floater it’s not for everyone
Check out DJ Angelo's tutorials.

What is the name of that hardware display, and who makes it?
It's not real, just an effect overlay
