Just wanted to give you props for putting in the work and thank you for posting your practice. I recently started practicing to try and get better with cuts and your videos are a great inspiration (I've been a bedroom dj since the late 90's). I'm curious to know what the diagrams on the sticky notes represent? Also wondering if you have a special table for your setup? I have a folding 6-foot table that wobbles pretty bad when I scratch and am looking to get a new one.

Thanks! I feel like I learn almost as much from the other amateur DJs on YT as I do from some of the pro tutor videos on here, so I’m glad my struggle can also help motivate others. 😊 The table is a ZenSports 55-inch computer desk I bought off WalMart a few years ago. It still wobbles a little, but the weight of the turntables and flight cases mostly keep it in check. A workbench from HomeDepot or might be a better option for stability, but the best ones were definitely outside of my budget. The diagrams are Turntablist Transcription Method (TTM) for the scratches - like music notation but for turntablists. The diagonals are the up/downs of the record, and the dots or vertical lines are the fader closes. It helps me to have a visual of the stuff I’m practicing. For more info, check out TTM Academy… this is one of their tutorials on the Joe Cooley scratch w/ TTM: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nopptbJ8kaTUfbA.html

@@oldmannewturntable Thanks for getting back to me! I looked up the TTM website and totally remember reading about this years ago. I'll do some more research on transcription and a new table. I remember seeing Gangstarr years ago and Premier put cinder blocks under the legs of his table. I think it had more to do with reducing the low-end hum that would sometimes come from vibrations through the stage than keeping the table steady. If you don't mind could you tell me what the rest of your setup is? Looks like Stanton turntables and the old Rane 56? Are you running Serato, or all vinyl?
