[@joeygamefowl9015]

[@damagegadget]

this guy is a regular comedian...lol sick dj tambien

[@wolfgang15425]

@ccskatepark yea man it does i have another question hopefully you can answer when you watch a vid of some dj using real vinyl how do they get all those sound on the vinyl do they have them custom made

[@onlythefallen1]

i had to eat chips n salsa while watching this

[@albertbr100]

kkkkkk smiles thx info DJ !!!

[@djcomatoast]

i love that nicknack wax

[@getlostlser]

It's similar to the first half of the boomerang

[@Joeybits]

@drvenhrd46 Yes, and he won the DMC battle for world supremacy in 2007 and the DMC world championship in 2009. Those are separate events, but i'm not exactly sure how they differ

[@yfyout]

can somebody please identify the beat at the end demo !! it's so damn good its driving me mad!!!

[@wolfgang15425]

@DubSpot whats is a dvs.. dont mind me im just starting to learn this stuff

[@hitpoint3]

which software do you use? i use Traktor Scratch Pro with my Numark Mixtrack Pro.. Can thid be done on this config? tnx

[@feedyourspeakers]

@DJMakeWay Thats true...^^

[@FaderFlosser]

so fuckn hilarious!

[@Subtitle_art]

right!!!!!!!!

[@ASTRUBAL1334]

Well done Harry Potter!!

[@djalejan]

Is this scratch done just on 70 and 140 bpm ranges. I'm having trouble doing it with 90 bpm tempos.

[@coolio227722]

is there anyway i can take the music out of something and just have the vocals?

[@gesc1200]

almost there Shiftee - its tough to duplicate when your going fast.. all in due time im sure.

[@MoeZabian]

how do you make that type of sound with a scratch

[@strondbokken]

@isgod1 I find 110 bpm to be the most challenging for fast scratches, but thats just me

[@skyzofred]

what i don't understand : why close fader after the first mouvement, because sound is in his 0 point then it's like the fader is closed? when i do it slowly sound is the same if i don't close my fader first time.but maybe for the speedy mouvement it's important?

[@raykyaw]

whats the beat he use? thanks guys!

[@Subtitle_art]

he must working with Tim & Eric in the awesome show!!!!!

[@ccskatepark]

@wolfgang15425 ...DVS is emulating a record (vinyl) using turntable driven software. (Digital Vinyl System) Don't know why they didn't bother answering. If you can't use the lingo you get snubbed by the pros (kind of a turnoff to learning isn't it)

[@Hanfkuehe]

@MasterRecordNando yeah thats the same thing i want xD

[@chuckles1252]

2:20 what is that sound? i hear it a lot in scratching

[@xavierthevoid]

yeah, I laughed way too hard. lol

[@PNoirmusic]

loooool @ 5:12

[@djvilaz1]

se dice "MUY CALIENTE" LAAAJIII!!! jkajkakjaakj....

[@happyhappy2happy]

why swing flare?, there 's no flaring?

[@jbfromdrog]

dj shiftee aka louis theroux

[@-djSRK]

@antopoman anyway? you make it sound like a bad thing lol

[@MrSour1]

i wonder how much they had to pay to place the tostitos there

[@D1rtyraver]

still using the same old scratch samples. scratching is like a guitar solo because only other scratchers care.

[@polromeu]

MUY caliente, no MUCHO, MUY.

[@QupidsWorld]

His fader fingers just looks like a blur.

[@S-Trix]

he s scratchin nice but that s not a swing flare ;-) or we in europe got an other understanding about swings whatever propz and peace to the states
