[@djspinvixen]

Thanks for your transparency about struggling when scratching! I’m sure a lot of Djs can relate! Me included 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@DJLiftOFF]

🙏🏾 of course. I think it’s super important to understand that this is a marathon and not a race. There’ll be bumps and bruises along the way, but the finish line is there for all of us!

[@NinSevenTea]

I wanna add that the position of one hand doesn't have to match the other. For my main record hand (left), I hold a low 8 o'clock, and my other hand (right) is a higher 9 o'clock. Same principle applies with the crossfader. Sometimes a new position can help with learning. Definitely helped when I started practicing faster chirps.

[@DJLiftOFF]

💯💯 good advice!

[@djarshazpro.706]

Thanks for this Mr I love this tutorial, these are super tips

[@DJLiftOFF]

🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you!!

[@deejay_lb_de_introvert]

U teaching is so definitely perfect, i like it, thank DJ LiftOff

[@DJLiftOFF]

[@malinmedia]

What a great tip mostly on the hand position. Surely when you raise you can scratch faster. Thanks and waiting for the next Flight ✈️✈️✈️

[@DJLiftOFF]

Definitely have a few requests for more crossfader help so definitely will put something together.

Thanks for the tips! And being honest about how dnam hard this can be at first.

[@DJLiftOFF]

You’re welcome! And of course!! Some think it’s one of those things you learn in a few weeks but it literally took me years to get super comfortable. Definitely a learning process.

[@victorboyd9881]

Can you do one on the new Rev1 Scratch video thank you

[@victorboyd9881]

And mix video

[@DJLiftOFF]

Trying to still get my hands on the Rev1 and Rev7! Will definitely do a video once I get one.

Dj LiftOFF your friend in the house...

[@DJLiftOFF]

Ahah 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@keiswag1367]

I keep the tension on my fader heavy for speed and endurance. Try playing for an hour with yours far right then adjust it back to your sweet spot, you'll feel the difference. can you do a video on your visual equipment and setup?

[@DJLiftOFF]

Smart move man, never thought to do that!! And you mean as far as how I record everything?

[@MrCorykjr]

It's a process! Just keep practicing! Shout out to the discord chat!

[@pouremilee]

I think i had quit more than 7 times already lol. i'm more than determine now. Thanks for your videos.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Ahaha, appreciate you man! I know the struggle all too well. It’s all worth it in the end!

[@deejaymauriceproug]

Bro can u help me and u share for me a serato software download link wch works even on Intel r duo core 2 laptops (windows) pls help

[@unclemean666]

Sup, DJ LiftOFF. Ur such an amazing DJ tutor with big patience. I think ur videos already helped some beginners. My advice would be, add some of ur highlight showcase at the top or also the end of ur each video. Post some 30 secs routines as SHORT. It may bring more subscribers to ur channel. Keep it up, im ur fan bro. Cheers.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Thank you for the suggestions 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I think that’s definitely a great idea that I should implement. Appreciate you, and the support.

[@leonzalirchirl2828]

what song do i listen to when i'm trying to beat match the two do i listen to the one that's going through the master or through the headphones when using a DJ controller when you can't see the BPM do you email you a picture of why I why I can't see the BPM's

[@fabricefafa5106]

I like your videos brother. Where can I get those plain (without a rane logo) vinyls?

[@DJLiftOFF]

I got mine from a company called digidesign on Etsy! They’re legit.

[@fabricefafa5106]

@@DJLiftOFF thanks bro. I am in Africa I don’t know how I can go about Etsy. I hope there’s a way you can help me with that.

[@arthurchasi1612]

My question is which hand should be on the crossfader the dominant or the non dominant

[@DJLiftOFF]

You should try and practice with both! For me, I do different techniques better depending on which hand is on the cross fader. My dominant hand is more comfortable on the cross fader but with chirps, and really fast scratching, my dominant hand is better on the platter

[@HOTMAN_DJ]

🙌🙌🙌

[@blayx]

my right hand is good at scribbling on the right jog wheel, but i want my left hand to be just as good as my right , im struggling with my left hand

[@DJLiftOFF]

I struggle with my left too man!! Just gotta take it a day at a time.

[@leonzalirchirl2828]

Hey djliftoff what song do i listen to when i'm trying to beat match the two do i listen to the one that's going through the master or through the headphones

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yoo! You should be able to “cue” whichever track you’re bringing in to listen to it in order to beat match. What kind of gear do you have?

[@bitterXboifren]

my hands twitch, it's like my brain sends bad signals. it's mostly the fader i really struggle with.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Keep practicing! It definitely was a little unnatural for me at first! It’ll become more natural as time goes by

[@kingcondornev]

❤❤

[@Burgesslewis93]

is it bad that I scratch with my right hand at 3 o'clock? i tried 9 o'clock but it just doesn't feel normal.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Honestly, old me would have said learn it at 3 o’clock but if you’re comfortable scratching at 9 o’clock and it doesn’t stop or hinder you from doing anything, I’d say just stay consistent with that hand positioning!

[@DJDREXTV]

For some reason 3 O clock is more comfortable for me

[@DJLiftOFF]

I've seen lots of different hand positions! Whatever is most comfortable, stick to it and keep grinding! Comfortability and consistency is definitely key 💯
