🙏🏾🙏🏾 appreciate you!

[@DJ90-UK]

Broski! This video is magic. Whilst technically I can do those scratches mixing it up into a drill like this is brilliant. Also that 8 bar loop for drop practicing is also a great tip. This has really made me appreciate fader less scratching and sound dope just focusing on moving the record in different ways mixing it up. What makes this video different for me is that this is a drill that really beginners should do before every session. Also to keep balanced I would do 8 bars with left hand, then 8 bars with right on the same deck. As these are all faderless it works! Thanks again bruv

[@DJLiftOFF]

I 100% agree with something like this being a warm up for practicing! And Mann, faderless scratching is definitely something I still work on to this day. Tough, but dope! You’re welcome bro! 🙏🏾

[@user-su7yd8ew7x]

Were are your setting suppose to be on DJM S -11

[@tangjun8815]

Pattern 2 is slow+fast+scribble ?

[@Itsdjsigi]

Thank you for this video! Bro I been practicing at scratching faster but my arm seems to stiffen up, any advice or routines to loosen up?

[@drk1o461]

Same bro , I started using my wrist more when I'm tryna double time

[@DJLiftOFF]

Very smart to do. I do the same!

[@DJLiftOFF]

Of course bro! My stiffen up as well, and I just focus on being as relaxed as possible. As we scratch faster, I feel like our body automatically tenses up a bit but focusing on stay light on the platter and just using the least amount of pressure helps. Takes mental focus for sure.

[@mathewnoric9033]

For me am like addicted to scratchs were by even if am not on my controller I atleast scratch on a chair where am sitting 😂

[@aj6761]

The hardest part for me is scratching while using the crossfader

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yea, introducing the cross fader was super tough for me in the beginner too! Takes a while to get the movements down. Always practice slowly first!

[@victorboyd9881]

Great video

[@victorboyd9881]

I hope you make more

[@djjih3862]

[@DJ-XquiZite]

I have a DDJ400, what are the settings to get these sounds

[@DJLiftOFF]

Settings should be the exact same with the DDJ400 I believe. What exactly are you trying to change?

[@DJ-XquiZite]

I'm trying to get my latency , curve and others settings correct for scratching. Mine sounds nothing like this

[@ronniehobes3897]

How can I get in contact with you

[@DJLiftOFF]

[e-mail]

[@Bjaythedj]

Do you offer 1 on 1 lessons?

[@DJLiftOFF]

Not at the moment, sorry.

[@Djblythe_440]

Yo who made that hold on wait?

[@DJLiftOFF]

My boy! GTB Tonio, he has some other tracks and videos as well. Def check him out when you get a chance!

[@MySoundboy]

my problem is learning the crossfader together while doing the scratching all together

[@DJLiftOFF]

It definitely feels uncomfortable and unnatural in the beginning, but you’ll get it down with time.

[@Presbiter]

train both hand movement individually and slow at first. You need to get to the point where both hands can effortlessly do different movement and timings at the same time. The first move to get this down is the fade in baby scratch. Dont bother doing more advanced stuff, as long as that move doesnt come easy, you will train in bad habits.
