I can't stress enough how much your videos help me understand and be able to accomplish these tricks on the turntables. The way you break down and explain it, helps me put it in perspective and apply almost immediately! Much much respect man!
7:49 was the “Ah ha!” moment she needed and my Ah ha moment too 😃 so glad to see her receive this revelation ❤️ I started djing when I was 16 using dual CD’s. My mentor would bring his vinyl and try to teach me, but I was very intimidated by records and at first didn’t want to even touch a record in fear of the needle jumping. As I got older and played at clubs, guest djs would be all vinyl djs bringing in crates and crates of records. I thought it was sick, but was too intimidated to begin my turntable journey because as I would watch them play, I did not understand what was happening, be blown away and put turntables in the too hard basket. Then I became a resident dj at an all hip-hop/rnb club and became really good friends with MC. One night he brought me in this DVD....Wildstyle. I knew I wanted to use turntables. Then he brought in another DVD Scratch....I was hooked. I’ll never forget that one segment with Qbert, he was beat juggling and briefly explained what he was doing....that was my Ah ha moment! From there I bought a pair of technics and never looked back. Knowledge is power, once you learn and understand something and you remove the “mysticism”, your brain shifts and your journey begins. That’s what makes magic special and why a magician never reveals his secrets. Shout out to you Rob. Thank you so much for sharing your magic with others. Peace and love from Australia ❤️ ua-cam.com/video/w2OPRs4P1e8/v-deo.html
I enjoyed watching this video so much! I had the BIGGEST grin on my face when she actually got it. I equate this to learning the secret of a magic trick. At first you're amazed at what you saw, then you learn the hidden trick behind it and now YOU'RE the one wowing others. Great work!!!
Salute Rob Swift.. Been Djing for a few years but got to a point of not getting any better and just doing the same stuff over and over. Rob's vids have taught me why and techniques to improve. Appreciate the knowledge you drop.
I needed this. Im getting into scratching. And just like most things we learn. We gotta stop over thinking. We forget that all greats we in our shoes during their journey. Great video Rob
Does anybody notice that theres high hats on Hipnotize, U can apply the same off sett patterns, the same way with just about any part of a record!!! #ChasingTurntables She was getting it!!!!
Im not convinced that turning back the record quickly and find the beginning again is an essential skill nowadays. In a live environment you still got your queue points right? So no reason to panic. What I can think of practicing to rewind does is increasing: - vinyl control - rewind accuracy I think vinyl control comes naturally when you learn scratching and I cant see the benefit of having really good accuracy. Isnt it only useful when you bring vinyl only? And even then you can queue with the needle
I get it now. its really important for beat juggling where u kind of want that dirty sound sometimes of not being dead accurate and skip a lot of times back and forth throughout the record. If u have it hooked up to a computer it still holds true that its probably just faster to press the button. even one revolution at max speed is already slower depending how u press your buttons. So if u don't want to beat juggle setting q points before is better. This year DMC beat juggling someone pointed out in the comments that ppl press buttons alot. there is different reasons, too for that. Anyways whats more challenging for me instead of rewinding is forwarding the record on the fly. u really have to keep track of your sound and position on the record when using forward, too.
9:46 WHEN SHE FOUND HER WAY BACK HOME AND THEN NAILED IT AGAIN! AWESOME, GREAT JOB
at 7:02 when robs like "if that was you prove it" and she hits it I was 👏👏👏👏👍👍💪💪😜😜
