How to: Scratch on a Controller by a DJ Champion

► Script:
In this tutorial you guys will learn the baby scratch. Now this scratch is the most fundamental scratch there is to learn. You really have to get good with this scratch in order to do the more advance ones. This scratch trains your eyes, and record hand to get used to the movement, and to the sound of scratching. And in my opinion, this is the most important scratch you can learn.
The baby scratch is basically you moving the platter forward and backward. That's it. It may sound simple enough, but getting used to it and making your movements rhythmic is the big challenge. So take your time, and move your platter hand to the tempo of the beat. Try your best to make it clean and precise.
Steps to learn:
1. Scratch the beginning of the sample
2. Know and master the position of your hand on the platter so you know where the sample is
3. Make it rhythmic
Once you've learned it and feel confident in it, try altering the pitches of the scratch, and in that way you can make your scratch sound more unique but more importantly, funky!
When I started out scratching I didn't really build my basics up with this scratch. I went straight for the more difficult ones, and I regret it. If i had only focused on doing this one scratch then learning everything else, would've been far smoother and quicker!
Scratching on a controller is a little different than scratching on a CDJ or turntable, but it doesn't matter what you use, as long as you can use it.

As a new dj i was telling myself "dont scratch, dont scratch, dont scratch".. turn on your video... try again on my conroller... "i can scratch!" Amazing lessons bro. I cant get enough. I am a newborn DJ but I am musically inclined. Your simple tutorials have bridged the gap for me so much. I never intended to become some super dj. I host karaoke nights and the music I play in between simply landed me some dj gigs so I decided to buy a DJ controller....i think i found my calling. Thank you for all the beginner tips! You're a real one sir!
Even though I am comfortable with the baby scratch, I always come back to this video just to make sure I am not abandoning the basic technique of it. This plus your other tutorials are really great in keeping me motivated to learn more advanced techniques.
"Be patient with your self" best life advice Carlo!

WOW, that's an absolutely crystal-clear demo of how to scratch - I especially appreciate the accompanying graphics of the samples. I can actually see what's being explained - Great!
really like the tutorial, short, clear and want to start practice right after.

Great! Continue practicing and scratching! Thanks for watching the video!
I can’t say enough out of all the tutorials I watch its hands down u keep it simple and visual which is good for me because am a beginner at 58 please keep the good work up
best dj instructor ever seen. you're great. thank you dj franky ( amateur - house parties )
I am binge watching rn to your videos and i feel like i'm being taught one on one. Thank you, it's not like every DJ share their own knowledge or techniques. I'll support you kuya!
I’ll be honest, at first I had no idea you were actually a legitimate DJ. But obviously after watching enough of your videos (and reading the caption that says you won a championship twice) I’m sorry for any doubt that I had. Thanks for all of your awesome/free advice! Much respect!
Thanks bro, I'm just learning to scratch and your advice much appreciated! Cant wait to take it to the decks.
Thanks DJ Carlos for the “how to videos.” You put more heat to my fever of being a DJ someday....
I've been wandering youtube searching for the right dj who I can look upto and boom I found the right Dj you're everything I require to know about Djing and I'm very happy about what you're doing. The content you're creating is super dope. I've watched very many of them and I can assure you they're helping me alot. I hope just someday God knows when we'll meet personally just to thank you.
thanks..i think its time to finally lay my hands on those platters..its been my dream since highschool..i got myself a ddj sb3

Thanks bud! I really appreciate that. I really just wanted to share the experiences and lessons I've learned on my journey to other DJs.
I just became a subscriber. I'm a newbie on the turntables and will practice the craft of mixing thanks! 🤘🏽
Loving the content! I’ve always wanted to learn how to scratch and following this series has been brilliant. I’m still only at the baby scratch stage as like you said master this first. Could you please release some scratch patterns to practice at a basic level building up? Keep up the great content and thank you. 👍🏻
Very good !

Virtual DJ is kinda bad for scratching IMO since you do it not with your hand, but your mouse
THIS WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL
I just got my ddj rb, this helped a lot. Thanks man!
Awesum man! Great tutorial! Thanks for it!
Such an awesome tutorial for a beginner Dj! Thank you!
Finally some good descriptive scratch tutorials! Thx!
I really didn't think that I would utilize any scratching with my mixes but I tried it as an option to switch tracks and BPM's during the mix and it was cool. Thanks!
Very helpful video thanks!
Your tutorial is always on point And always I learn something atleast
