The Swing Flare

[@djkoz78]

damn them some dirty ass heavily used records, great video

[@babylonbwoy5715]

Baby scratch with stab and backstab. No flare at all in this combo. WTF !? Flare is done by starting with the fader open and perform a "click" (one, two, three click) in the middle of the sound.. We don't see that in the combo.

[@Stevenskate1]

fader hand movement is the same exact thing like the 2 click flare.... that´s why peaceee

[@Audiomaniac84]

Vinyl is too dirty. Respect the vinyl. Wash your hands before scratch, clean the vinyl with 90% alcohol or special cleaniser.

[@Afterlord2]

I've been trying to figure that out for like six months, I can't believe it's so simple LOL

[@mrdan1210]

is it the same if you leave the fader open after the transforms? as i dont seen the need to close the fader as you are back at the start of the sample...

[@ignitore]

totaally confused about the flow after 2:10....

[@barrywatts8501]

It's very strange way it's called a swing flare. It does not start or end open. Should be called slice and dice!

[@digiramm]

I got the same gagball record. In worst condition than yours. Lol

[@DRbEASST01]

Great video! Easy to understand and a killer scratch to learn :D

[@madlibbed]

@germania1 check delayed flares out that should clear things up for u

[@freakthem1ghty]

that is some intense record burn!

[@djsugaray3281]

@tron69snipes But Digits is not talking about Salsa????

[@baggylean]

DD looks like Pauly Shore.

[@jcue]

Dirty Digits, U R The Man!

[@EaglesNation24]

Mentoring us, Obi-wan is, to be killers

[@emmielpierre2047]

[@buddafingaz9403]

[@kwote]

Word. This is the latest kut I've been workin on. Cool to see a tutorial on it. I think it sounds a bit better to start a little further into the sample though just like when doing a boomerang. Also for me I like to think of it as a set of 2 babies in a row then repeat. I find you get more of an accent at the start of each repitition that way.

[@skyzofred]

hello, i need conseils ! i can do every moovement of scratch like flare, swing flare etc...but some of this, i can do the speed let's say speed 1 very slow, 2 and 3 but i can go further and go to speed "4" without doing bad movement with de cross. who had the secret to go quickly.?

[@sethrollins516]

z-trip A-frame from H'el(lion) or good job giving a end of the beginning hip-hop 101 lesson without to much accent but still Holden the stoner spirit BON*=Grippatiet

[@PhilosBias2000]

ITS A KEEP ITS ABOUT PAYING IT FORWARD DAM DAM DAM SOME CATS JUS DONT' GET IT....THIS A KEEPER..THANKS YO..I'M JUS LEARNING SO I'M GLAD U WILLING TO HELP

[@happyhappy2happy]

@mrdan1210 you could apply the same question to many other scratches.It keeps the sounds clean and distinct.

[@manuelemariani4609]

No need to call it “flare”

[@Shirazmataz]

Hey wassup Dirty Digits. Great tutorial dude. I think i've nailed the skratch but slow. When i try to do it fast, it just sounds a mess. Guess its practise practise practise! I see you have other tutorials i.e. Boomerang & Autbahn etc .... any more available? I agree with some of the other comments saying, good teacher , easy to understand!

[@djreflex247]

hi my i ask where i can get that DJ background ? would love that on my wall

[@germania1]

Flares are open fader scratches... this is a closed fader scratch... it should be called a swing transform

[@TTMAcademy]

I agree with germania1.....its a Baby - Chirp combo...

[@yepyep3897]

I'm in full agreement. I've noticed a trend of people incorrectly labeling combinations w/ cuts/transforms/stabs as flare combinations. I don't get it. And, a delayed flare is a technique, but something very different.

[@seanarboleda8854]

It sounds like A baby scratch and a chirp. But the rhythm is different to make it loop

[@SmoothBlendzTV]

Damn looks easier than a regular one click flare. I guess it's because this scratch starts and stops with the fader closed.

[@MoeZabian]

@ruslanio i found it now why is it that easy to find?

[@bobbyd1658]

man im at the point where I've forgotten almost all the specific scratch technique names and just flow with it

[@yepyep3897]

No, a chirp combination shouldn't have the stab that he's using, but I almost agree w/ you.

[@ThinkingThaughts]

Ready?

[@nateslagle727]

im surprised no haters have disliked!

[@MoeZabian]

were can you get that scratch sample

[@Djci_oficial]

Yes

[@justynanogala1378]

It sounds familliar to "Baby chirp" -_-

[@justynanogala1378]

Yet still, starting with the fader closed gives you more possibilities. You can switch to autobans, boomerangs, and delayed flares very quickly.

[@elephantgrass631]

Starting with the fader closed automatically makes it a non flare scratch. In fact, since you're not clicking anywhere near the middle of the sample, it's not a flare.

[@f0bdollar]

really learning from these tutorials, thanks man.

[@djdavidforeal]

He makes it look so easy..

[@InMiddletown]

@SamyRF EVERY professional fast scratch sounds sick.

[@CJ00014]

wow, that scratch sounds sexy o.O

[@ObPoScene]

damn the ending was sick!! i CANT wAIT FOR MY TURNTABLE TODAY :DD!

[@CeazeThaBeast]

The boomerang and the swing flare sound very similar.

[@CeazeThaBeast]

Good Teacher. I always understand Digits instructions!

[@dvboss]
