You Rock - You have inspired Me! I hope to be a Great Female DJ Teacher like you!!! Thanks :)

[@djlightsout06]

Hey Short-E can you futher explain what you're doing when you swing this scratch? The movements don't seem the same. It sounds like you're doing a flare forwards, but I'm not sure what's happening on the way back. It doesn't sound like a flare forwards and a flare back. It sounds like the flare back might only be half a flare then you go right into the chirp. Yeah I'm confused :(

[@hummurabi2010]

OMG! THANK YOU!

[@studioscratches]

My crossfader is reversed in this tutorial. For more info see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHSZZYmAfKp1ea8 and check out my online School of Scratch schoolofscratch.com for my newest in-depth scratch tutorials and online course / practice program - Emma

[@gza123456789]

[@philldafunk]

I've been looking for this scratch forever! I can't wait to practice :)

[@jaycarmona]

How did it go? Lol

[@PhilosBias2000]

MY MOST ROOKIE MISTAKE WAS TO TRY TO GO TO FAST AND GET AHEAD OF MYSELF..PRACTICE FOREVER AND A DAY AT DAT EXTREMELY SLOW PACE...IT MAKES ALL THE DIFF IN GETTING IT RIGHT..AND BELIEVE ME YOU WILL NOT FIND A QUIICK AND EASY WAY TO LEARN BESIDES WAHT EVERY DJ TELLS YOU..AND DATS PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE...THE ENJOY IS THROWN IN THERE TO REMIND YOU WHY YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE SO DAM MUCH..LOL

[@PhilosBias2000]

WOULD IT HELP ANY BETTER IF I PRACTICE A SIMPLE PATTERN RELENTLASLY WITH OUT MUSIC UNTIL I GOT IT DOWN PACKED, THEN ONCE I GOT IT TRY GET INTO RYTHUM ON A BEAT WITH IT...R.......PRACTICE TO A BEAT AT A VERY SLOW RATE..EITHER WAY I JUS CAN'T SEEM TO GET MY SCRATCHING; WETHER FAST R SLOW; IN SYNC WITH SHORTe BEAT FRIDAY TRACKS DA Q&A'S

[@Denso2131]

@studioscratches Oh I see... they have that now huh. How much is it? Ryt now Im just practising how to scratch. Its hard, I cant get the hang on the crossfader thing.... how bout you, how long have u been practicing til got the the rhythm? O by the way Im using a numark mixdeck, it it more easy or hard to practice there. Tnx man for replying

[@PhilosBias2000]

how long did it take for you to get a good grasp on scratching where you where confident that you started sounding half decent??? Pleassssssse respond.much respect

[@DJEDLADOLESTE]

Excelente tutorial. Parabéns

[@AntiWarRob]

@Ellipidioveronica hamster style was the roots of scratch cause back in da days use the phono/line switch to cut and not the fader (cause was crossfader).

[@DJKumachen]

@StudioScratches What's The name of the Scratch Record used for this video? Thanks for the Tutorial. Peace

[@studioscratches]

Super Seal on dirtstyle records

[@sacd2000]

whats the record your using. Please recommends a beginners superseal vinyl.

[@SolidusSnake142]

What would be the best brand of turntables and mixer for a beginner DJ?

[@mug04life]

how big of difference does your mixer make when it comes to scathing

[@Denso2131]

How come your MK2 is chrome? Did you customize it?

[@mikedubmixing]

@TheGOMES37 I think she uses the fader crab style.

[@DJSOUNDWAVE]

You know whats hilarious?? Ive been djing for 7 years, and have been trying to do it the entire time!! I FiNALLY got the chirp, and a few times got the flair! AMAZINGLY after watching this, and posted on facebook, "I HAD TO START SLOW" HAHAHAHAH Man, thats so awesome!! Thanks Mate!! Ill post a vid later sometime, im giving you the credit for motivating me to get it done, I can FINALLY do it!! Hahahah it feels so awesome!! THANKS!!

[@Sadiquecat]

Hmm I know i'm 9 years late for the comment, but I don't quite understand what's happening when you swing it? is it just a matter of how fast you do it to let a pause after the combo before restarting it or just doing it fully in time so there's no pause, or putting in different pause time between the chirps and the flare ? Ty

[@studioscratches]

Hi I have a full video explaining this here: schoolofscratch.com/swing/ Its like the second note is delayed slightly. Also check out www.attackmagazine.com/technique/passing-notes/daw-drum-machine-swing/ - the same principle

[@DJSOUNDWAVE]

You make this look So easy!! I just CANT get the shit!! lol

[@demianin]

jesus you are awesome. thanks for the great tutorials!

[@RifatRakete]

I

[@TheBigneptizzal]

sweet vids shorty e ur a ledge x

[@philldafunk]

Thanks a TON!!!! I've been wanting to do this scratch, but I didn't even know what it was called,. I can do it now, but only the chirp to flare variation :( I'm working on the flare to chip now

[@benice3117]

NVM I found your beats. I'm curious if you produced these instrumentals?

[@DJCinara]

your videos help me a lot! thanks!

[@marableinc]

Dope tutorial.. Thanks.. Been using your beats and tutorials for a while now...

[@TWDindustries]

@gza123456789 That would be Superseal, I use that one for practice. Each sample is queued to the same 1 line, so you only need to pull your sharpie out once.

[@TheGOMES37]

ehy short-e, you're one of the only people i know who jog with the left hand and fade with the right. I do it too, but i thought i was the only one. just so i know, is your cross fader inverted (right deck to the left and left deck to the right)?

[@DJAnyStyle]

I want to marry you.

[@oscarbarajas1650]

she's a girl actually, but also is justin beiber so... anyway she's way more awesome

[@Dj_rueboi]

Oscar Barajas and a very pretty one too

[@joafske]

That Video is very good. But one comment. You should leave the hand on the record in case of short samples (for the flare part of the scratch). That gives you more control of the sample and makes it easier to handle.

[@PhilosBias2000]

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO KEEP A CLOSE EYEON DA RECORD MARKER..I TEND TO STRAY OFF AND LOOK UPWARD THINKING I CAN HEAR MY MARK, BUT DO YOU ALWAYS LOOK CLOSE TO THE RECORD?

[@TheWaynelds]

Man, finally nailed a 2 click orbit with my left hand workin the Xfader & my right on the record (was always a righty on the fader). Learning to do all that fancy scratching on my weak side was awkward and took some time getting used to, but being a hiphop DJ, i needed to be able to scratch & cut on both my strong & weak sides.

[@Joeybits]

This scratch for me was a lot easier to learn than a 1 click flare for some reason. It just feels more automatic. A 1 click flare is really awkward feeling, even today i still have some trouble with it and can't do nearly as fast or as clean as i can a chirp flare.

[@PhilosBias2000]

I'M GETTING MY SPEED UP PRETTY GOOD WITH THE CHIRP, BUT WHEN I START TO ADD THE FLARE I'M THROWN OFF..AND SO I REVERT BACK TO WHAT I KNOW PRETTY WELL LIKE DA TEAR, CHIRP, AND BABY..ANY TIPS R SUGGESTIONS..CUZ I FEEL AS IF I'M GOING BACKWARDS

[@7467277]

That little finger roll bit on the fader is probably the best I've seen in years. Truly finger lickin' good! Much Respect!

[@TrunkoZord]

when you do flare chirp don;t you do chirp twice ? btw sick skills

[@studioscratches]

I don't but you could do...

[@grayzywork]

@studioscratches Hey 2 things. What kind of vinyl do you use to scratch with?and i have stanton str8 60s ,will those work?

[@benice3117]

[@masonero]

EYY! FROM SPAIN!! GREAT TUTORIALS! MY HAND is flawed and IS OPPOSED THE CHIRP FLARE, ANY ADVICE? THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM AND TIME!

[@nero-one]

u have the studio tutorials onthe right but i see u didnt add the flare and moved on to the chirp flare!! i kinda think they might sound alike? thats why u didnt add them? ur my 1st to come practice vids everytime.... keep up the good work...

[@TREBLADaveeDee]

Dope tutorial!

[@EvolveDrumNBass]

why do you reverse your fader (hamster)? i love Threadless shirts too!

[@vmedium]

It seems like you are doing the slower chirp flares as 16th notes, and then when you go faster you are switching into 16th note triplets?

[@SolidusSnake142]

@studioscratches Thanks, I'll take those in effect when I'm buying my stuff.

[@benice3117]

Sweet what DAW do you use?

[@DJCinara]

and u have nice skills!

[@nitrounoproducciones]

Thanks to studioscratches, im better day by day

[@ExtremelyInept]

@studioscratches The same day I posted that a mate came round and left me 2 copies of DJ Flipsyde's Breakers Yard 2, as well as Hillbilly Brayks and Peanut Butter Breaks! Win. =D

[@djneedlz]

NICE TUTORIAL SHORT-E...DOPE KUTTZ

[@Emac058]

Short-eee your are really dope....

[@ramthongchanh3828]

looks so ez.. lol

[@studioscratches]

it's easy after a lot of practice!

[@RAYGproductions]

Nice.

[@InTrevWeTrust]

So basically it's a transformer scratch just with the crossfader on the other side?

[@studioscratches]

Hey! My cross fader is reversed but you can do this with the crossfader regular. It's best to think of it as open and closed fader movements. See this article for a complete breakdown: www.studioscratches.com/scratchy-100-chirp-flare-scratch-tutorial/ I can try and sum it up in text: Flare = open fader, move fader forwards and click once in the middle of the sound. The fader is open at the end of the sound. Pull the record back and do the same thing - clicking once in the middle. The you do a chirp = push the record forward then close the fader, open the fader and pull the record back. Repeat the flare and chirps continuously in this way. The transformer scratch is more of a closed fader scratch tapping the fader on to make sounds. Hope that helps. Maybe watch the video a few more times and start slowly.

[@InTrevWeTrust]

***** Ahhh you have it reversed okay that makes sense lol. Thank you for your analysis!

[@studioscratches]

Yeh! All my tuts are in hamster. If you want more details: www.studioscratches.com/hamster-reverse-vs-regular-scratching/

[@f0bdollar]

both ways sounds dope

[@amberramin5897]

very informational thank you very interested.

[@mandaltby]

you are really good shorty

[@tcfulton3759]

I think you would agree the hardest part is getting it going as one motion in rhythm. Doesn't take long to do both parts,but doing it without a little pause in between the flare and chirp is tough and takes A LOT of practice. It reminds me of the old pat your head while rubbing your stomach test to determine if you can be a drummer. You have to mentally train your record hand to do something different while keeping the crossfader clicks even. :)

[@studioscratches]

True! Go slow and be deliberate.

[@djaywrek]

RESPECT! Good videos!

[@Mothman354]

DOPE.

[@ExtremelyInept]

This just drives home how badly I need Super Seal/Skratchy Seal!! Sick of my awful awful skippy Scratchadelic record with all its terrible terrible samples!!

[@ExtremelyInept]

@mikedubmixing Yes she does. It's Hamster/Reversed fader. Find 1, 2 and 3 click flares so much easier in Hamster, but its all about what feels right for you (or the guy who asked you)....

[@ExtremelyInept]

@studioscratches Differing speeds will make for different patterns of the same scratch too...
