Been working so much I almost forgot how to write music. 2 new tracks up in my profile: Scratch Demo and Unconcious Effort. Let me know if you like or not and stuff...

Hey, I know I don't comment on others' tracks much, but that's because RFI in my area makes it nearly impossible for me to properly listen to a track. Hell, it took me like an hour to upload these.

I was just curious what people thought of my scratching, and both of these songs give examples. I've been holed up performing my cuts for myself since I started scratching for almost a year now... I'd like to know if they hold up. If ya got a fast connection, let me know what you think. If not, don't worry about it... I understand :}

Yeah... i haven't yet delved into the deep turntablism ideas... Such as "meaningful arrangements" or "taste" or even "style" for that matter. I'm all just into that wicky wicky thing right now... truly addicting.

Although the rithm is not good to my personal taste the scratches are amazing!!

I wish to learn to scratch like that some day, where I should start?

Great work!

Well, I used a multi-fx plugin from the Waves Vintage Power Pack that phased the turntable track and that contributed alot to the "swoopiness" of the cuts. But as far as the actual cuts themselves, yeah I'll admit I never can quite sound like the DJs that have set the standard for turntablist sound, and that has a lot to do with my "technique" (and I use quotes because it's really a cheat and I'm almost embarrassed to admit to it, but....)

Since I don't profess to be a DJ (I only have one table, I couldn't match a beat if my life depended on it, I've never created, practiced, or even imagined a set of my own)... just a studio scratcher, I'll admit that I use a rubber band on the crossfader to tie it to the silent channel. That way I can tap the phono channel on and off quickly, almost like a transform switch on some mixers, but with the benefits of an adjustable crossfader.

I've leard to crab and do all sorts of things that I just can't do without the rubberband. Perhaps one day I'll ditch it for the real thing (just my thumb) and Ill buy another table and maybe then try to become a DJ. For now though, I'm doing shit within a year of starting that I'm sure has taken others much longer. Give it a shot... it's a real confidence booster!
