I think I'm finally getting my Transformers right + it's real fun scratching alternately with you.

[@fightforyourright1527]

name of the beat pls?

[@DJMARKEYG]

Yes

[@hotfightinghistory9224]

Wish I had this in 1995 :) I had to listen to the Hot 97 DJs and then try to guess what they were doing with their hands!

[@mimasweets]

Never to late to record it to VHS 😅

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Yep. Took me years and years to even grasp it living in a small town with no friends who cared to talk with , no one near me who even owned tables , no internet. People really just don’t know

[@nunsc]

I JUST INVENTED A NEW SCRATCH,,ive never seen anyone use it before. for real!!!!! Omg i wanna share it with the world. Basically, on my 1200s, i use my left thumb and pointer to hit the target light while i scratch to get really sharp cuts! So happy i practiced today. It sounds soooo good!!

[@Nerdflipper]

For the record if She is whom I think she is her part in the "Scratch" documentary always like the vibe between her and her man seemed a little intense. Glad to see her in a better place.

[@michaelperez5273]

I never seen a video on the scratch "tip" before THANKS 😎

Yes! It's scratch practice time.

[@djshortee]

Whoo hoooo! ❤

[@djpsycosmiley1]

I got the 72 last year and it's by far one of the best battle mixers ever made; if you're on the fence about getting one I’d suggest going for it. It'll enhance your skills...also kindly remember for those starting out and possibly using Serato/Traktor and such to keep in mind DJ’N is an “auditory” medium so develop the art & skill through hearing and do not get “stuck” staring at waveforms.

[@mazusub8182]

Between the Rane 72 mark 2 and the Pioneer S11 which one would you go for? I need this input to get either one please… thanks In advance!

[@djgeorgesmixx899]

@@mazusub8182 S11 the beast

[@djshortee]

@@mazusub8182 Both are amazing mixers but preference is completely relative to each individual's unique needs. Don't buy somthing because someone else told you "it's the best" because their needs may be different than yours.. Find out for yourself what's the best for YOU. The only way for you to make an informed choice is to try out BOTH mixers hands-on and choose what works best for your personal workflow. As for me -- I actually own both mixers and I use each one for diffferent reasons! Hope that helps! xo, Shortee

[@ryanjwinisdead]

@@mazusub8182 the s11 is more intuitive and a better screen with a higher refresh (the waveforms look better), but the 72 has better features according to most reviewers.

[@mazusub8182]

@@ryanjwinisdead thanks 🙏 for the reply… how about the faders!? To me it comes down to the faders and effects mainly…do you think the upfaders sound and can cut good? on the s11 being regular faders and not Magvel whereas the Rane 72 are all pro faders (Mag 4s)…I need an input on this… thanks 🙏

[@Mellowdz]

Your amazing thanks from the Uk

Nice

[@elvasi4035]

Is a really good Training concept. I know this also from dancing and is also good to do it. Bit first it needs to practice every single scratch and control it a little bit more and than come back to this training concept. Thanks a lot!🙏

[@djshortee]

Glad you dig it! I agree! I already teach the scratches for free in other videos on social media and also in my paid online courses, however this video is just intended to be a guided practice session rather than a tutorial. 😘

[@spincitynyc809]

Make one for intermediate to advanced :) Love your channel.

[@KoopaNut]

I have been using this video daily for months now to practice, learn and improve my scratching and I am definitely making progress (all be it slowly, scratching is hard to learn!).

Thanks for this video! Honestly, it's one of the best drills I've seen on YT! Been practicing on a daily for a couple of weeks using both right and left hands and I have seen some improvement. Just curious, what's the BPM on the beats that you're using? Once I'm better with this speed, I'd like to try going a little faster. Again, kudos to you and I'm proud to scratch like a girl :)

[@michaelsmithjr.1328]
