    To be a great teacher, you have to be able to understand it inside out, be able to perform it fast and slow, bit by bit and be able to convey the information to the individual in a method so they can understand and perform it. The greatest reward as a teacher is when you observed the individual is performing it.

    This is the best tutorial imo on scratching using the fader. I'm at work, so I don't have a turntable infront of me. I'm literally practicing the movements, so when I go home, I'll have the technique drilled in my head.

I won’t Lie, most people don’t want to pay for a Scratching DJ/Mixologist, so as a Mobile DJ, I would just blend beats and call it a Night.

      I used to feel the same way man! I remember someone told me I wasn’t a “real dj” because i couldn’t scratch but that’s bs to me. Everyone doesn’t “have” to scratch, but that definitely pushed me to learn at the time, then I fell in love with the progression.

      Exactly! I remember tried to “envision” it moving as I attempted to learn to scratch with a controller but it never clicked like it did with a moving platter.

    How are these turntables working?? The platter actually spins around like the Tech 12's? Does it feel heavy like the Tech 12 motors? Does it take a bit of physical pressure to stop the spinning with your hand, like the Tech 12's?
    If you put your hand on the "record" to stop it... the platter is actually still spinning UNDER the "record"?? Sooo... RANE just looks at the "records" spinning speed to change the speed of the song? Would the "record" stop moving if you only stopped the platter by holding the edge?
    I can't believe these have been out for two years! I completely missed this until TODAY!
    I started on Tech 12's. I still use tech 12's. I've bought a small cheap mobile CDJ thing.. it's ok but I can't deal with tiny platters that don't move! And the Pioneer CDJ prices are insane. THEEEEESE however.... hmmmmm!!!

      Bet. If you click the settings icon in the top right of serato. You can set your curve up. I’m not near a computer so I can’t give you a step by step but someone has definitely showed how to do so online.
      I would search “how to set up curve on serato software”

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  3 роки тому +1

      Just dropped a 2 click flare tutorial. Didn’t necessarily show how to do it very quickly in double time, but it is essentially just practicing until you’re able to move your hand on the cross fader and place fast enough and in sync.
      Definitely challenging.

    I really want to learn scratching cause I have a buddy of mine he is 16 yrs old and he's a beast, but I dont have hours and hours of free time to practice. My question is do you have to have some kind of gift to become good at scratching or will you actually get better with practice? its really discouraging when you are 45 yrs old and you got a dj buddy thats is 16 and sounds like Scratch Bastid🙄🤦‍♂️. Your video was great thank you.

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  3 роки тому +1

      I hear your pain man, I REALLY do. But I can say with all honesty that I particular started getting good at scratching VERY gradually. It happened so gradually that it was almost as if I got it overnight. Very weird.
      But I don’t believe you have to have a gift. I think some learn faster than others, but if you put in at least 30min every single day - and you’re practicing the right way. I promise you’ll get it over time.

    If you move the crossfader completely to the right, would the scratch sound be louder instead if you just move it to the middle?

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  2 роки тому +1

      If you set up the crossfader with the curve all the way to the right, the volume will be the same (at max volume) no matter where the crossfader is (unless it’s all the way over in which case one deck is muted)
