How to Scratch CREATIVELY by Learning These Basic Patterns with NO Crossfader

DJ LiftOFF teaches you a few of the fundamental movements that lead to the ability to creatively scratch. These techniques do not require using the crossfader, however, the crossfader will ultimately be added in your scratching journey. MOST importantly, learn the hand movements which will increase your ability to CONTROL your scratches.

This is such a great tutorial. I would love if you made some Q and A practice sessions too. Especially for this tutorial. When you were showing your freestyles, I would love 4 bars of the instrumental to try and answer back. 🙏

[@DJLiftOFF]

Dope idea man. Will definitely plan to do one of those sooner than later. I've seen a few other videos that incorporate call and response method and they were dope. Appreciate the idea! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I feel like this practice would go really well with your tutorial on “saying the scratches” as you perform them. Great practice!

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yooo. You are literally 100% right. Thanks for the idea. Will keep that in mind for future videos like this 💯💯

@@DJLiftOFF yes bro I will you already given me hope thank you so much

[@barrywatts8501]

Same here dude. I told my self 3 years ago I'm going to pratice once a day every day even if it is only for 10 mins. Good habits. But I missed the fundamentals early on. I went Straight into 1 click and 2 click flares. I wanted to sound cool. But having to go back to learning fundamentals now lol. The hardest thing to learn is changing ruthums and joining at the technics together

[@newmexicali2897]

thanks

[@DJLiftOFF]

Welcome!

[@PhatMc]

Those custom Serato control vinyls are dope where U get them from didn't have coin to get fader and new turntable n mpc and rest of it after my house got emptyed n lost my whole studio when I went in so am loving your tecniques coz could only afford a turntable with no fader so far

[@DJLiftOFF]

Damn hate to hear that man smh. Appreciate you tho! I got mine from customdjvinyl.com/?doing_wp_cron=1674894110.3741710186004638671875

[@SecretCaskets]

HAve you done a video on finger and hand placement/movement on the crab scratch? a lot of tutorials aren't very detailed.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yup, I have a tutorial on the crab scratch!

[@richardmelendez919]

How do you make the fader instantly switch to the other deck with little movement?

[@DJLiftOFF]

Are you referring to the crossfader?

[@Djbuzzy22]

I want to get this serato dj pro

[@SheikhN-bible-syndrome]

I have cross fader dj and it doesnt sound like that

[@alsimon7192]

[@DJLiftOFF]

💪🏾💪🏾

[@sounds20]

i notice you're starting the scratch ahead of the start of the sample. I'm noticing that it makes it sound cleaner. Is that intentional/do you recommend that vs starting in the middle of the sample?

[@DJLiftOFF]

Awesome attention to detail 💯 - it depends on the sound and the type of scratch really. I think it’s best to go back to the beginning of the track to give you the most sample to work with!

[@drevolution4975]

Can you share the settings for serato and ddj sx 3 controller

[@DJLiftOFF]

No doubt --- here's a video on my serato settings. Let me know if this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYOugH9nhq93iKc

[@lucasb8043]

Hey man! My crossfader doesn't have a curve or contour option. So I can't adjust the speed of the fader. Can I still scratch?

[@DJLiftOFF]

What controller are you using? Are you not able to change it in the software? Certain scratches won’t be possible without the correct crossfader setting

[@barrywatts8501]

Wish I saw this video when first started. Fundamentals first

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yessir, definitely fundamentals first 💯🙏🏾

[@jasonjones657]

Where did you get the serato scratch track

[@DJLiftOFF]

Can’t remember where I originally got it from 🤔

[@joellemos746]

00:05:09 - After into to practicing....

[@downshiftmeedia]

I find it a lil more hard to scratch on ddj any tips ?

[@DJLiftOFF]

I definitely hear you. I think certain DDJs are better for scratching than others, such as the DDJ Rev1. But tips wise, it’s really just about getting the feel down and staying consistent. Controllers are a little more sensitive, so figuring that out for your controller is key, then building from there.

[@martinvillarreal6859]

I can’t watch these videos after the kids go to bed…. Then I wanna hop on the decks 🤣🙃

[@martinvillarreal6859]

Thank you for the great videos tho!

[@DJLiftOFF]

I know the feeling 😂 - appreciate you man 🙏🏾

[@djsupertiguere283]

For some reason I feel that my rane 12 platter isn't smooth as the ones I've been seeing.

[@nomoraldj7993]

Try a butterrugs slipmat or wax paper cut to fit under a standard slipmat. A slipmat without graphics might be smoother too. Hope that helps

[@djsupertiguere283]
