How To Scratch Using a Vocal From a Track | Creative Transition Ideas

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yoo! Let me know if this helped, and if you want to see a part 2!

[@carlos_mann]

Yeah definitely can't wait for part 2! I also can't wait to try this and hopefully be able to get it down. Those last two combo's are the ones I like the most! They always sound so good together, just can't get the hang of it though. After practicing with them and watching this vid over and over hopefully it'll begin to come together

[@ionescutheodor8606]

Yes,it helped a lot.I didn’t know some basic scratches sounds so good combined.Waiting for part 2 🙏

[@DJLiftOFF]

@@carlos_mann dope! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for dropping a comment! And it’ll come most definitely. Keep at it 💪🏾

[@DJLiftOFF]

@@ionescutheodor8606 love to hear it 🙏🏾 same man, honestly. I love patterns with quick changes of speeds and that just flow really well

[@carlos_mann]

@@DJLiftOFF Most definitely, thanks for the encouragement, looking forward to more helpful videos 👍

[@shivaarjoonsingh8334]

Hey MaN you are god sent. Self taught old timer here, thank you for the breakdowns. Love the content PleasE PleasE keep the lessons coming. I can scratch a little (the basics) but can never put together combos, you have changed that. Bless Up.

[@DJLiftOFF]

🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you for the compliment. So much more to come! Still learning myself. And man, I love to hear it!! Bless up.

[@Jerzeejaylive]

New self taught old timer too! 42 years old and 7 months in. Working on speed and that fader-bounce for Swing Flares. Frustrating some days but I love it. Thanks!

[@DJLiftOFF]

@@Jerzeejaylive definitely feel ya on the frustrating day. I remember having an entire YEAR of frustration. All worth it, 100%.

[@Jerzeejaylive]

@@DJLiftOFFI know the only way to get better is through repetition so I’m putting in the work. Appreciate the vids man, they really help.

[@MACKMORRIS83]

@Shiva - one thing that’s helped me over the years is being more deliberate when practicing. For example - I’ll practice chirps ONLY for a few minutes, trying to get them cleaner and cleaner each and every session. Do the same thing for transforms, flares, baby scratches, tears, etc. The first few years that I started scratching - I would just freestyle, and I found that I would plateau quickly, because I didn’t have each and every scratch down, perfectly. Good luck, brother! Happy DJing!

[@TurnUp_With_T]

Thanks!

🙏🏾🙏🏾 appreciate you bro!

[@Tha_don58]

I like that bonus 2-bar scratch transition. Thanks for breaking down the scratch sequence in the 1-bar transition. Subbed.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Appreciate the sub G! No doubt. And I use that bonus pattern super frequently. It’s easy to work off of that as well

[@joiduarte736]

Hey Joi!! Definitely will be a part 2 coming soon. And you’re more than welcome! 🙏🏾

[@yvesgamora3014]

Great vids man. Big ups to you on emphasizing which trick to use and when to execute it (which bar and beat). Something other dj tutorial channels don't actually bother doing. Keep it up 🙏💯

[@DJLiftOFF]

Thank you man 🙏🏾🙏🏾 - and most definitely! I feel like that’s one of the most important things to go over. Appreciate you for dropping a comment 💯

[@thumpydj]

These are so great! Was just thinking the other day why such scratches don't end with the 1 on the second bar of the drop... Didn't realise you grabbed it on the 3rd bar, 4th beat, not the 4th and 4th... Thanks heaps!

[@DJLiftOFF]

Much appreciated 🙏🏾 - and yup, gives you 1 bar for a short little combo!

[@djgemini4723]

In any Art ( Martial especially) was trained when I was 18 to not disrespect any other Martial Art style just because I don't practice that particular art. Find a instructor that's good for YOU and what's your goal. Some academies as long you pay on time all the time they'll give you the next belt then that student will get exposed in the streets. This falls into that category. I viewed MANY "How to " videos regarding DJ'n and I would pay to attend your class if you were in Nebraska and had a school...you sir are the real deal

Ahah thank you bro 🙏🏾 - just hella practice man. It eventually just becomes natural. I actually surprise myself sometimes because I’ve been a student of the game so long, that I don’t have to think too much about mixing/scratch patterns/etc when I’m DJ’ing now - just flows.

[@johnmarellajr9070]

Hello. I was wondering if you can tell me what dj gear you have in this video. i just subscribed and this is the only video i saw just now. Also, where can i get my mits on a set of dj gear you have? And if so, let me in on how much it is? thanks for your help. i am looking into buying a set but don't know what? thanks

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yo! Thanks for the sub! So I’m using two rane 12 controllers/turntables, and the mixer is a pioneer DJMS9. The controllers are $799 or $899 each, and the mixer is is $1500 now I believe. If you buy it in a bundle, you can get all 3 for a discount from: idjnow.com - I use that site a lot. There’s also the rane one controller that just got released not too long ago that’s a more affordable option and incorporates my set up essentially in 1 controller. I think it’s approx $1500.

[@MACKMORRIS83]

Beautifully produced content, brother. Subscribed! Side note - I just inherited a pair of 1200’s from a friend, but I’m really digging those Rane 12’s! How do you like them?

[@DJLiftOFF]

Much appreciated man 🙏🏾 Ahh, I’d love a pair 1200’s just to add to the stash and use from time to time! I really love the Rane’s tho. Platters feel grab, the motorization is great, really durable. No complaints at all so far for me!

[@nanadjnyk]

Just got my xdj xz and want to learn how to scratch But have no clue how to set it for scratch.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Wish I had that controller so I could tell you exactly how to do it. Have you figured it out already? If not, do you have a crossfader curve knob on the controller?

[@nanadjnyk]

@@DJLiftOFF yes I do

[@DJLiftOFF]

@@nanadjnyk cool. Honestly, all you should need to do is turn your knob all to the right which is also considered “fast” and your crossdader should no longer fade songs out, but only cut a song’s volume when you’re all the way to the left or right with the crossfader

It looks a lot easier than it is. The motion is very quick. Definitely keep practicing a slower pace and slowly speeding it up.

[@djgemini4723]

Started in 1984 Gemini mixer Techniques turn tables...No technology help to automatically mach BPM's , what songs mix well, even loading songs... Imagination, grabbing vinyl playing side B if I wanted to mix acapella or instrumental manually matchingBPM ALL MANUALLY, I just feel it's lost its true meaning of a DJ with all the technology can make a one day DJ scratches and patterns sound like Jazzy Jeff or yourself ..being a musician ( piano my favorite) who use to produce beats Makes me SMH when someone who didn't SACRIFICE ANYTHING ( skipping parties, instead of playing outside ,practicing 1 hour every day) just loads a program via computer which does ALL THE WORK.. GIVE ME A KORG keyboard, work station, 12-16 channel mixer...I got the rest. . Have a 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 ass beat RIGHT NOW

[@zendygarrido6177]

@@DJLiftOFF you do not have to, i can just find a word without any percussion sounds about it. Great video mate! Keep it. These are very helpful and educational. It also forces me to listen to the music more rather than looking at it. If anything, makes me use my ears more when djing, makes me know the music to its totallity before playing it. It is a good thing. Puts me back in 1989 mode listening and memorising songs before playing them. Back to roots
