Around 7 years ago when I was 15, this was probably one of the first tutorials I ever watched when I became interested in being a DJ. I may not be scratching as much today. But, I'm playing in a club every weekend and love it! Thank you so much for making these videos, I don't know where or what I'd be doing without all these tutorials you made!

[@ellaskins]

Nishy P my pleasure :)

[@antonedubify]

Absolutely the best online teacher ever! Don't sell out mate!!!!!

[@lucaronconi996]

He did not :)

[@PS2Damon]

he's like the Gordon Ramsay of being a DJ

[@ellaskins]

I can remember the camera at the time was resting on the sofa on top of a pillow!...lol

[@matthew-thomasplant3542]

The gems this man has taught us all, for FREE…what a guy ❤

[@ellaskins]

Always go for direct drive turntables, don't buy belt drive. all the best johnathan dj tutor

[@waynem7186]

I got into DJ'ing in 2007. Your videos literally changed my life. I cannot be anymore serious. Thank you.

[@ellaskins]

Yes, at the end of the day to anything, if you wanted you could scratch to classical music!! johnathan

[@ellaskins]

most on line record shops will post good Breaks pl's to you, on these lp's you will get music and samples suitable for scratching and beat juggling.

[@ellaskins]

In a way yes, because to stop it from skipping it must be set at the correct height. type in " q bert", he gives a good description.

[@vaiman7777]

Cool video mate, very good teacher. I play the guitar and have no desire to scratch lol. But I have always wondered how you guys do this and I am very impressed. Thanks for your time

[@teknastyk]

amazing!! after 6years of playing on vinyl, 10years learning and producing, tried some scratching... But what I've never figured out by myself is, to move the hand along with the sample... Geez, no wonder I was having trouble staying in touch with the first beat !!! Thanx man, your skillz and knowhow are just briliant

[@yvetteb24]

your stuff is great, always wanted to learn how to scratch, never really got my head around it.

[@Sammagot]

Nice video! I had no idea of scratching what so ever, this was enlightening.

[@dermihai]

Great lesson. Now play the video and press 6 ;). Thanks man, good tutorials you have!

[@imcl256]

I found that sample on a scratch record called Roulette 2...its got like 30 minutes of samples along with that one...no clue why people are giving u thumbs down rather than helping you out /shrug

[@xS3NTRYx]

Very Informative, very well explained. Great video!

[@danikorn89]

BRAVO! never heard/see a better explanation of it!

[@NukaCookies]

One of my Dj friends is a brilliant turntablist and Ive seen him make scratch sounds using actuall word samples as opposed to using a sample of a scratch, I would say it depends on the Dj. Also he uses alot of sound effect samples.

[@mickswagger6086]

cheers mate learned a lot more then i did when i was at school

[@RussC79]

Hey man, I would recommend Hee Haw Brayks (first one) by DJ Butchwax (aka DJ Flare) and Superseal Breaks by DJ Q-Bert. Hee Haw has one entire side made up of hundreads of samples with all the classic sounds repeated numerous times. Also Superseal is a skipless skratch record which has many cool samples to skratch with. All the best!

[@snappy_.]

No way your back didn't hurt from this lol great vid

[@KarmaSpaz12]

I don't have real turntables but this helps immensely, I just have to judge the "speed" of what's playing and the sensitivity I put on the pressure plates. Thanks :)

[@ellaskins]

The two are fine, but to get (if you wish) the sound to sound as it should you need to be going at exactly the same speed as the turn table.

[@ellaskins]

thanks, that's what it's all about . Breaking it down. johnathan

[@binary1230]

excellent clear introduction, thanks for making that vid! I gotta give this a shot.

[@ellaskins]

It helps to get you'r finger to stick better to the 12" But you could always use hand cream.

[@ellaskins]

you can buy records with samples on them , ask for turntabalist pl's with the "fresh sound" johnathan dj tutor

[@19Emigrate91]

Very good lesson! thanks for your teaching!!!

[@joshuabonilla1191]

This is an awesome guide!Thanks for posting it,it really helps!

[@pete2007owens]

thanks, vids like this really help lol

[@paper1312]

@smoshmouth You can buy new albums on old school vinyl at some record stores and on ebay. There is something called vinyl emulation which allows you to manipulate mp3's like vinyl. Most Djs who use vinyl emulation use serato scratch live... It pretty expensive but its defiantly worth the money in the long run.

[@calculatednb2469]

I’m watching this in 2018,still great

[@stevenwise100]

thanks man this is a perfect tutorial .... well done.... very helpfull

[@TRUNKER76]

That was very very helpful. Thank you!

[@aiyanasdaddy2006]

Always helpful, thanks for the video skins!

[@seanconnolly1985]

i do not have the first idea where to start, this was very useful thank you

[@ellaskins]

As i say to all people that ask this question, you must first buy good quality. Stanton do good tables, also the numark tt1 , and the technics sl 1200. Go for this quality and you CAN'T go wrong!!!

[@ellaskins]

Could be a few things, 1 you need more weight on the arm, so ajust the weight at the back of the arm to go all the way forward 2 Make shure the complete unit that the arm is atached to is set al the correct height( you will see this by the black rubber going around the arm rest. 3 With some cartriges they come with a small weight fitted just below the headshell, see if that,s there. 4 Set you anty skating. Try to log on th Q bert on youtube , he too has a few vids! all the best Johnathan

[@coleli4325]

@ellaskins how good manner this guy is. even though the videos are a little bit old and NO　ＨＤ．／／／　ｓｔｉｌｌ　ｌｏｖｉｎｇ　ｉｔ　#ｂｅｓｔｔｕｔｏｔｒｉａｌ

[@bachriahi5905]

This Guy IS the best i watch his tutorial since 2008 and he teaches a lot of things in details Keep the good working man and thank you for what you doing (Sorry for my English 😅)

[@djliquidunderworld]

excellent explanation & teacher. I'd love to hang out with this guy! two thumbs up

[@manuellAckson]

great tutorial :D really nice

[@ellaskins]

any basic white paper type sticker is fine. j

[@KurtisRaddatz]

Top Notch. I offer lessons on how to play, scratch, phrase, and so on. I found your tutorial very well put together. I try to explain to my students exactly what you are saying. It's hard for me to describe

[@ellaskins]

It's up to the individual, but YES YOU ARE QUITE CORRECT, I WILL EXPLAIN THIS SOON AND MENTION THAT YOU!!! TOLD ME. THANKS CSFREAK50!

[@ellaskins]

toDJineQ, thanks for the comment , ok i do it to help my finger get better grip oo the vinyl, but you can use hand cream too. j

[@shintastic1]

Thank you sir and FYI I always start with your tutorials , love them all :)

[@michaelburchillvideo]

@steve702 Got my RMX 2 days ago. Scratching is totally different because the track won't stop if you hold your finger on the jog wheel. Take advantage of your hot cues. Make a loop on your other deck so you can practice as long as you want. I quite like the intro to "I want to get high" by Cypress Hill. But another good song is a Drum and bass track called "Rapture" by Sparfunk & Joe Solo. There is a break about 3 minutes in that speeds up. Get a rhythm going then make it faster.

[@paper1312]

@smoshmouth Yup, just search serato scratch live and you'll see what its all about. In serato you "load" the digital track you would like to play on the deck you wish to play it on. Serato is also compatible with most popular digital audio formats. Serato also has the option to play an actual vinyl by routing the signal from the needle directly to your mixer, as if the serato interference wasnt even there.

[@FoGGeRdk]

I just started. I bought 2 x Technics SL-1210 MK2. They are known for the good quality and is in many places clubs etc the standard turntables used. They bit exspensive though but given the quality and reputation they should be easy to sell if u change ur mind! On my mixer D(JM300) there is no options for the cross fader such as how fast it 'opens' for the sounds etc which i already miss alot cuz it is a bit too soft. But without doubt, the Technics 1210 mk2 is a very good buy

[@MrLestajenkinz]

that sample originally comes from the ending of a record called "change the beat" by fab five freddy

[@partylastnite]

thanks dude a friend all the way frm singapore

[@HoriaIoan]

One of the first videos I saw on youtube

[@anveshvanam]

10 years ago wow 😱

[@adrianpontvikzvejnieks2860]

Anvesh Sai cool

[@anveshvanam]

123 456 very cool 😂

[@OllieDrummond]

if you get the CD that you used to install serato, there's a track on it called "scratch sentence" if you stick that in serato the first sound is pretty much what he's got

[@InDepthMixing]

i got a numark ns7. I got the syncing going nicely. i support u because i need to learn this stuff now b4 too many ppl in my area get better than me. Good job.

[@TenTenFarms]

thanks alot for taking the time out of your day to spread these skills.

[@ellaskins]

to LATINBEATSDJ, go see a few vids from Q bert, he uses some kind of cream. j

[@MrPhipu5]

fing-ga ^^ you are the best!

[@Ghaz-66]

Really Helpful, thanks.

[@ellaskins]

On warrior records po box 775 london ec15 4lb, or call any good record shop and they will advise!

[@koko609060]

its very helpful video ı caught someting man .Keep up your workss

[@ellaskins]

trak called , move your wast line, the scratch is the ahhh, fresh sound!

[@TheAdrenalineJunky]

Dude i can't give enough props to you, it seems you cover all topics about djing haha. Thanks again man =)

[@steve702]

@TerritorioDance You can scratch on it bud you just have to have the right types of tracks for it i have this sample album that i downloaded off of itunes(its got 50 different types of breaks and sounds effects) that work well to practice. you just have to work in if you load a sample just to scratch and then have to get ready to load your next track to mix... would be nice to be able to use the next track to perform!!!!

[@mishabruml]

hes using a mic input, thru the mixer, and i guess the mixer output goes to amp and booth aswell (straight into the camera)

[@hellovagim]

my friend starts to teach me djing, its so much harder than it looks!

[@MrSlimePDX]

It's called 'Move Your Waistline' by Deja Vu. It's a sampler track.

[@flower-ld5id]

this is an ancient video man

[@Ex0rz]

+Ryan Heath God damn 2006 hahah. Even the DJ Tutor looks like a youngster heh!

[@flower-ld5id]

Ex0rz it's actually quite interesting finding some of the earliest videos. It's like a history lesson, this guy was an innovator 😂

[@Ex0rz]

Ryan Heath Actually his earliest videos are the best. They are the videos that actually teach you something and not videos about how to be a better mobile dj lol. Or "how to impress the club owner with phrase mixing" :D His new videos arent bad by any means but just not as good as his older ones. Hes been doing this for so long he starts to run out of ideas i guess.

[@flower-ld5id]

Ex0rz in his new videos he doesn't mix any actual vinyl either

[@privateemail7697]

. . . . . and your point is ?!

[@MortalBane]

You need to buy a soundcard with 4 outputs. There is plenty out there, I recommend brands such as MOTU, or RME if you're in the higher range. Otherwise M-Audio have some great cards at good prices. MIDI can not be sent to an RCA cable. Midi is simply data, and RCA is for audio. Hope that helps a bit.

[@callumjamesswift9306]

I was 12 when i watched this, i had my first ever set up stanton t50s and wanted to just go wild with it and learn everything i was dead excited. I'm now turning 27. The memories.

[@Marven06]

thanks for the videos. really helpful

[@safecribbo]

you are my hero! lol

[@skylereldridge3812]

Here I am 27 going back to your videos to learn how to do stuff again. I just recently got the XDJ -XZ-N after not playing for 6-7 years. Iv been watching you since I was like 16 to learn how to play. Thank you for your knowledge and way of explaining things.

[@ReignSupreem]

Try to find records by Dirt Style Records. They're all about breaks and samples.

[@oooshbro_nzl]

Bro, awesome vids aye. Just got me some turntables yesterday my first set haha thanks man helped me out alot, also, what is the reason for licking your fingers? cheers man!

[@lipwood_music]

You look soo much like Richard Hammond from TopGear =D Great Tuts you have, old but Gold ;)

[@OhmygodSportacus]

A master tutor, he does the best DJ/Turntable tutorials

[@ykap23]

just wanted to say that i love all your videos, great job and thanks!

[@ellaskins]

thanks dude! j

[@stevend77]

very good man..thats a great help..is there other vids..like part 2 or part 3??

[@Sleepinglikesheep]

This guy is my hero! Somehow I completely understand everything he says.

[@woolensheep192]

find some used equipment on ebay that is located near you so either the seller can drop it off at your place or you can pick it up yourself and get free shipping.

[@rayswift707]

@aramis2206 lol yes! Everyone press "6" three times, pause for a second, then repeat. You are now "Skratching" on your computer.

[@TheJuanito7777]

gracias por tu aporte sera de mucho ayudo para los que queremos aprender ha hacerlo... thanks very much

[@lmbrindle]

thanks your a real help mateey

[@sykesa]

Hello again. I would try better slipmats and if that doesn't work try better turntables go with Numark or Technics.

[@4RUGGA1]

This helped alot thanks

[@nhacbeats4100]

One of the best . If not the best .

[@ellaskins]

NHAC BEATS thanks

[@kikkirow]

love your tutorials! you are a good coach

[@MrMorebing]

Awesome, thank you!

[@johnnytraunt1]

i have the same problem... and yes mine is belt drive... ive tried putting wax paper and plastive under the vinyl and it helps a bit but the plate still stops... it happens everytime no matter how softly i put my finger on it

[@lowerthedynamite]

excellent tutorial. i wonder what kinda records that guys into??

[@MarkusAudio]

"pull the bassline!! (waw!!!)..pull a bassline!! (waw!!)..." fuck the haters, this lesson was veeery helpful, thanxalott!!

[@amacjamz]

Is there a mic hooked up to your mixer? You can tell by the level indicator that something was picking up your voice

[@thomasvadnais117]

Just so you know REAL dj's like myself have never used a turntable. In my day we knew how to bang sticks and stones together to make music. But then again I am cavemen so what do I know.

[@zuess27]

hey m8 thanks for your great vids just quick question whats the name of the sample you are using in this vid

[@brandorf94]

What, they didn't have tape back in your day? Go away.

[@ChuTubeUK]

Great video, thanks
