DJ Tutorial: The Shiftee Salsa School of Scratch - Hand Position

[@drewblack9402]

DJ Shiftee, Your the man. Please make more tutorials. Thanks

[@fiqrisamat3]

I never been so eager to learn turntable and dj in my whole life thanks to shiftee

[@Tumkan]

shifteee, actually i have to say that these tips you give might sound basic, but for people like me who dont live in a country where turntablism is widespread, and have to learn all by myself, its a great help :-) condradz on the dmc 2009 by the way... PEACE!

[@daillmeskin]

@az09peixe Looks like a Crowd Control battle record. That's my friend DJ Nick Nack's label in Austin,Texas. Cool!

[@greecegun501]

you're a really good teacher btw. i only know the basics about scratching. i bet i could learn more from your videos. thanks...

[@DeeJayEndo]

If your just starting to DJ and have a laptop I would say your best option is to use the Traktor Kontrol S4. It has 2 decks built into it that can control 4 decks in Traktor. It also has a 4 channel mixer (with EQ's and filters) and soundcard built into it, and has buttons for browsing, looping, FX etc. It will save you from having to buy 2 Turntables, a mixer, amp, and dj software & hardware since its all of these in one, and would allow you to be able to take your dj setup anywhere.

Thanks for the vid man this is one of the most helpfull tutorials ever :P

[@roerchharo87]

Dj Shifee is super funny! and his music is sick. all around great Dj

[@emergingorganism5771]

Awesome! Great explanation & tutorial.

[@exhaustiv]

10x for the video, i will try to keep training to get this suggestions right.

[@barrywatts8501]

With all these tutorials on line im really getting a lot better at standing in front of my turntables. Some times i just sit down but that just does not work as my arms are not long enough!

[@krispybaconboy]

cheers shiftee-funny and educational :)

[@lkrux]

"i would avoid this, i would avoid this, i would avoid this..unless your doing something insane.." lmao made me laff

[@dresirmusic]

man you really helped me out alot thanks...... and he gots jokes

[@1996yayo]

I like how he randomly has tostitos and salsa just sitting there

[@MEKON17]

@kwidg87 i just keep to bedroom DJing, and i have the most fun in the world with 2 vinyl turntables and a mixer that cost 100 quid in total! and yes, i scratch. Its not the gear - its what you do with it!! Buy a skipless scratch record ("superseal" is really good) so you dont have to worry about good needles. Make your own slipmat out of some slippy plastic so you dont have to worry about crappy torque. Then just have fun - if you one day upgrade then you will be 10x better with expensive gear!

[@CapitaineLadoc]

very usefull

[@NewHotHipHopMusic]

pretty cool...

[@kwidg87]

for anyone than can help. im looking to start dj-ing and these videos are helpful but with equipment I mainly see the 1200's and the ttm 56 or 57 mixer used by the better dj's. would it be reccomended that i just save up and buy the best gear first or are there cheaper alternatives to start with that offer the same or at least comparable performance to the technics and ttm?

[@chuckles1252]

if ur right handed, do u put ur right or left hand on the crossfader?

[@OfficialConnect2012]

Is there any place where I can get the loops and samples he is using?

[@BeatsBeneath]

@MrKook78 yo dude, go buy super seal on dirstyle records.... skipless and got most the usual scratch sounds you hear so you can practise.

[@greecegun501]

isn't there a way to set the cross fading curve on the mixer so that the cross fader does't have to travel such a long distance? then if the cross fader smells only your fingers, it'll let you hear what's on the other deck...

[@lkrux]

@DubSpot i tried lots of midi stuff and all that..i find myself going back to turntables. idk it just doesnt feel the same..i miss it:(

[@az09peixe]

What LP'S did you used?

[@MaDMadZ101]

Where can I find that sample "Funky"? What sample vinyl is it from?

[@aking610]

Hi I have a Pioneer DJM 600, my crossfaider takes about 4mm of movement before I get my "switch". Is this a normal amout of movement and is this ok for Scrathing? Thanks

[@greecegun501]

how often would you have to change needles on you SL12s? if i were you, i'd go with the high tech stuff man. lol...buy thats just me.

[@OfficialConnect2012]

I use a s4 and pressing lightly and hard makes no difference so is there a way to change that?

[@MegaMacDj]

Hey guys ! im using a mixtrack pro and a kontrol f1 in traktor pro 2.6. how can i change the settings so i can use the crossfader like that ? i know how in virtual dj but not in traktor. Please help : )

[@DJLUSTA]

Lol! "On the backside of the crossfader you sick perverted people"

[@9evemelodies]
