Ah I'm really glad you like it, I hope it brings you some value and you can use some of the techniques! It was weird breaking everything down, I've never done that before haha

The interesting thing is that I know all these scratches well: chirps, babies, drags, even joe cooley scratch. But you've mastered them perfectly and create ear-pleasing variations! Great, again extremely grateful for a breakdown. I will try to adopt this knowledge to the jungle scratching too (160 - 180 BPM)

Thank you! I forgot to say on the video it'd good to listen to a few sets with decent MC's. It's a good way of creating different patterns if you try and scratch similar to how they lay there words down over a track. Good luck mate, please tag me on any new uploads you do and I'll Check them out!

Cheers mate, watched a few tutorials but non explain the patterns of chirps as well as you. This helped a lot, especially because I mostly use happy hardcore. Took a lot from this video 👍

Quality mate! I'm on it now.....

Exactly the same with me bud found turning the sound off instead of on made a massive difference to how well I could scratch

You should do more of these mate break them down into small individual pattern lessons people would eat it up.

Hi. I’m just wondering if you have the turntable plugged into the phono or line input on your controller. I think the Numark TTX has a line/phono switch & I heard the phono inputs don’t sound great on the ddj-1000. Thanks for the tutorial by the way 👍

@AWardTube

Hi, I have these connected on the line setting, and also the line setting on the controller. Yes I'd agree this setting does seem the better out of the 2 options. It's nice to have the option to go line. With phono I've found quite a bit of feedback noise. I hope this helps you. Thanks! I tried my best with it 😁

Great as always you meaty bugger!

Haha nice one Mr Juicy! Was surprisingly hard to try and explain in engligh how to do the weird hand movements we call a scratch 😄 I'd love to see a scratch tutorial from you! That would be epic!

@@AWardTube yeah the pushing both hands in opposite directions movement is hard to explain.

How would this work if you record had is the right hand and your fader hand is the left?

How does your audio sound so crisp and tight? I have the same scratch sample but it doesn't sound as good

Hi, thanks for your comment, are you scratching with an old record? I'm using timecoded vinyl here so scratching a digital sample. On my old scratch sample records the quality is always a little rougher. Maybe try giving your record a clean? Many thanks 😊

When I was learning to DJ there was no internet or video help. I kinda had to figure it all out on my own. I've tried doing some scratching but as I said without tutorial, I just made it up as I went along. Unfortunately me kinda doing it wrong/own way for so many years that even now I can't shake off the muscle memory. I Know it sounds odd but even though I am right handed I scratch like a left handed person, again because no one told me I was doing it wrong. haha. So everything is arse road round in my head and I just can't shake out that muscle memory. When I was in my early teens my Grandmother died and I was helping clear out her house I found an old guitar that belonged to my uncle who had also passed away. That was a left handed guitar and I didn't realise. I learned to play that on my own too. So I now operate decks left handed and can play a left handed guitar even though I'm right handed and struggle to do anything else with my left. hahahaha

I was exactly the same, I remember having to re-learn how to scratch after years of doing it the "wrong" way 😄 it's amazing what you can teach your body to do! It's strange you say you are right handed but can do certain things with your left, when I was younger my mate had the more popular right handed golf clubs, because I didn't have any left handed ones I just learnt with the right handed ones and now they feel more natural to me 😄

So basically these are fast chirps followed with a forward 3:37 and 5:50, am I right?

nice scratching but that sounds like gabber, it's crazy fast. I thought uk hardcore was 90s breakbeat rave, like 2 bad mice etc.

Thank you, 🙏 the names have changed over the years! In the UK we did used to call the 90s breakbeat stuff hardcore, then as time went on that all became oldskool and the newer stuff was named UK hardcore, it might be called something different today! Where abouts are you from? Thanks for commenting!

And the penny drops.... I can move the fader quick and control the sample, but iv been open instead of closed on the crossfader so it's always sounded out of time. The more you know hey.... 😂

Spotify has a reasonable selection as long as its Scott Brown lol, but I'm finding it hard otherwise to locate an archive. Don't mind paying for the bangers as long as they are good enough quality and not mixed. Really appreciate any tips man thanks
