Love the skratch nerd talk. I'm always trying to learn something new and it's great that you break down a lot of different things. Keep putting these up. One thing I seem to struggle with right now is how to execute the 2 click flare on the fader. It would be great to hear your thoughts on that. It's possible that you've dissected that at some other point, that I just haven't seen yet.
@GaryMarsh7711 ай бұрын
Update: It's 5 years later, and my 2 clicks are solid. Now, the cuts you are doing in this video are much easier for me to understand and pick up.

Sick dude. This vid is like fate bro, just started scratching like 6 months ago (32 years young), played metal guitar my whole life. Just today got Gag Ball Breaks in the mail, search "scratch tutorial" on the tube and randomly pick this video. The sounds are sounding a bit too familiar lol. What are the odds! But your skills are off the Chain dude, amazing sequences, sick pocket, truly stellar. Thanks for sharing the wisdom! Cheers, DJ K Don't Play

Damn Son.... Lol... Awesome video homeslice, Man, its great to meet you, you got mad skills, & its always great to watch & learn from these dope videos, definitely been helping me in certain ways, so I appreciate these videos more than people realize. Peeps like you, make it possible for peeps like myself, to learn & get better, it's priceless actually. Its kinda funny, I've always turned off the bass, on my scratch vinyl, when practicing, & it sounds like I was doin the rite thing, plus, I agree that to much bass on the scratch end of things can cause alot of unwanted, & uneeded distortion, & vibrations. But I had wondered if I should leave a little bass in there on the scratch end of things. Good stuff bro, Much Respex, & Big Upz, & Mad Love to Dopez, & all the passionate Skratch DJs...... 🔥💯👍💪🎶🎛️🌎

Absolutely amazing to me how much is done with your left hand and and not with the fader. I was heavy in the scene like 15 years ago (was never near as good as you though) and I am just now getting back into it thanks to portablism. (I don't have a lot of room for a full set up anymore.) I'm pretty good at cutting, but I'm trying to play catch up with you guys with all the record manipulation stuff, very challenging for me to learn... But I'm just glad to be scratching again, I forgot how much fun and how therapeutic it is. Thanks for keeping things fresh ;)
@Pablo-yi9ox6 жыл бұрын
Im the same dude, i got a pto1 after ten years out the game..All my cuts are closed fader apart from the 1 and 2 click flare. Im ok with the vinyl hand, its trying to get my head around cutting with the fader open and my muscle memory kicks back in and end up doing my old scratches.....Frustrating, but theraputic like you said. Keep cutting bro!

@@Pablo-yi9ox same here my dude. As I get older I had less and less time to get in the lab. As a result my tables, mixer etc were sitting in the garage collecting dust.

Hey Dopez - please make a video on different techniques on scratch drumming, specifically the drum/bass kick and snares. I saw you do one tutorial on scratch drumming and it was dope. I do a lotta club work and thought I'd get some practise in by drum scratching on every different song I'd play.

Would you consider the whip scratch the same as a tear? If, not, whats the difference, hand movement maybe or sound pitch?
@DOPEZ12006 жыл бұрын
Technically the whip is the same thing as a tear but a tear isn't the same thing as a whip. The tear is done by stuttering the record motion backwards similar to a whip but you're not doing it with the up and down fist motion that the whip uses, it's more of using your wrist/arm instead of just the hand if that makes sense. Sonically the whip creates a tighter sound for sure.
