@@Sheepblagger Lucky you. I had the VMC-002 with the upgraded plastic conductive cross-fader. I could blow on it to move it. Sold the whole setup (two 12s and the mixer) to pay rent like 10 years ago. Wish I never did that. Edit: I selected that mixer because all I did was scratch. Wasn't a DJ...just liked scratching. Didn't need that 2nd deck either to be honest. Oh I had two Shure m447s I had on them too...they no longer exist either. So sad.
@@Buschwick Gutting! All I do is scratch really. I'm not a DJ, I just like to mess about mixing and scratching at home. My 06 pro looks absolutely battered these days. The only problem with the vestax mixers was the faders dying so quickly. But I eventually put an innofader in it.
@@blvckunikornI've been trying hamster style a little of late. It's a bit of a steep learning curve! Feels so weird on the fader but much better control with the record hand.

@@blvckunikorn ohhh no way I was just watching this guy lastnight. he's like a legend i think he invented some scratching techniques. only just found about that guy lastnight so there is a lot i dont but hes the best
@@KzeeAuckland it's all a matter of taste. Qberts style is suuuuper aggressive* intimidating to scratch around him. But there are ALOT ALOT of really really good DJs from around the world. Look in my playlist section, there is a "scratch" section, those are some of my favorite producers/scratch djs (turntablists) It's a rabbit hole* have fun💯
@@KzeeAuckland I've heard he got banned from the DMC championships for winning 4 years in a row, maybe it was three. If that's true that's something to be proud of to say the least.
@@djfloda07 this is from 2006 or something, I don't talk to qbert anymore. Posted this to help whoever wants to learn or inspire others to start scratching
Did qbert ever study music? I bet if someone shows him how slurs connect notes and silent that cut the fade...a percussionist could read qberts writing But I completely understood the zigzag and can easily write it out on a bar line which if show to qbert I bet 100% he would understand it maybe even correct it if it's wrong.
I absolutely love the schematic Qbert Drew up. When I first started writing hip hop lyrics and more in particular lyrics for drum and bass I created a schematic with the key like a map with symbols on it I made up, everything. Cadence percussion, pauses everything. Great job of explaining. Skateboarding is the same way, you can have the dopest Pro.. but dude is horrible at explaining to you/teaching you foot placement, when and what foot catches the trick Etc.
I do boomerangs way better using two finger closed fader, I hate that I do it that way better than just using good ole pinch though. My brain is geared to move forward for autobahn
Q-bert in most videos I've seen, scratches hamster style with the crossfader. I use to scratch/dj/like that then had started to learn the traditional way which wasn't a easy thing to do. Lbvs
@@hunterkarr5618 I just wanted to learn in the standard way as well. Kinda like scratchin with your left and right hand. Usually one hand is stronger so I just wanted to practice in the more standard way of mixing and scratching. To each his/her/ own though. Whatever works for you 💯

The greatest hand control human ever created
Just takes practice
Lol
Must’ve been amazing to have a personal lesson from the legend himself!
Not lessons, we were legit training. 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥☠️
Oh pardon moi 🤓
Interested in a new scratch beat?
Triplet
Oh! Forward then backwards! silly me
you're removing every 3rd note ... he didn't mention you're in the middle of the sample, not like a "chirp"
Vestax mixer😍
Golden Era
I still have an 06 pro. I'll never sell it.

What I don’t understand how is the fader inverted. On my board moving the fader to the right would have the right wheel open instead of closed
its "hamster" style. reversed fader is the same as using the upfader. (away from you turn on the sound.) I think its easier to crab with hamster too.

Very good 👍
Oh okay I got it now thanks 😂

He is GOD..
Alo dj
But he explained the see saw skratch, right?!
Yeah, that was the easy part.. my fader hand was slow to learn the fader pattern. Awkward to learn... have you seen or heard 'square flares?" 😖😵💥
Took me like a year to get this down lol
@@djfloda07 People learn at different rates. Don't stick your chest out too far; i've seen a clip of yours - didn't finish it
The "d-styles" scratch he mentioned was the "see saw". i saw it in this clip ( ua-cam.com/video/veL9R73zm60/v-deo.html ) and asked Q what it was*
@@blvckunikorn foreals, i did the same lol

@@blvckunikorn it's better to encourage, rather than dismiss. It kinda helps the community grow. Just saying 🤷
Is that a Toadstyle beat?
Yes

No need to bet, just ask him.

Id lik Q to do some non hamster lessons for the massive
Scratching non hamster? He's not really good with normal? Are you into regular djs or dope djs? I like dope djs, how bout you
what's that beat though?
