only video on the entire internet explaining this , thanks man

[@Scapegoat32]

I haven't DJ'ed in about 18 years and recently started to gain interest again. So I started watching some Wu-Tang scratch sessions on YT. I had NO IDEA this technology existed and was getting ready to go to war in the comments saying the video I was watching was fake and blah blah. I'm glad my old ass researched a bit before hand. The DJ maneuvers I was watching were all there and accurate which was confusing the shit outta me because the song kept changing without the needle switching positions on the vinyl and the dj would just randomly pick the needle up and drop it with a flick of the wrist. I was like... NOPE FAKE. I landed on this video and I'm glad I did. This technology is absolutely amazing and I wish I had it back when I was in my prime. The mixing and scratching skill is still fully there. It's just made more accessible and quicker to access. Incredible technology and I'm going to dive deeper into. Thank you for the video and clarification!

Nice to see a veteran DJ not hate on DVS

[@wowflower]

... i was only curious to see why dj's had both a computer and discs spinnin but ive now been introduced to scratch bastid. this dude is dope!

[@naturalmystic67]

I'm a vinyl guy so not going to be investing in this equipment, but nice to finally get a clear breakdown on how it actually works.

i remember when DVS came out, my friend who was a DJ at the time back in university bought the first ever serato DVS system and we were messing around with it. it was sooo fun. living in a country where good vinyl records were very hard to come by, this allowed us to really be able to experience vinyl DJing but in an accessible way!

[@allstar930]

These videos are dope. Heck yeah, DVS totally keeps turntables alive. Peace from Oakland, California.

[@jho9294]

Thanks dude, awesome explanation! I've stopped djing for 15 years and have since lost touch with the technological advancements. Very nice of you to take the time to share this info. Big thumbs up!

[@onixtrance7604]

Glad I found this video, I was legit so confused when I started to notice more closely guys mixing on Vinyl but never changing the actual records lol. Thanks!

[@Amatteus]

Congratulations. After looking at more that 10 videos, I have finally found someone who really understands it and explains it properly. Best regards from Barcelona.

[@charleswrigley9488]

Was gobsmacked when found out that turntables were still in effect technology as well moved forward.would love a dvs set up.

[@kristopher_j9858]

Thank you for explaining this. I'm excited to try this and learn something new!

[@ketowuskiburr]

Thank you for this. A decade ago, I use to scratch with traditional turntables, just for fun, and eventually took time away from it. I've been wanting to get back into it, but with a more modern setup, and I was wondering if there was a digital way to do so, while keeping a traditional setup (as opposed to CD's).

Hoping these series is gonna keep uploading, Scratch Bastid is not only a world leading DJ, but also a consummate teacher.

[@BoomLabStudio]

Love all of your videos. I'm a really big fan and I wish to one day be at the same level of Scratching you are at. Your videos are awesome and keep doing what you do.

[@brinkybrinkz]

This was so well explained. You are the man! The first time I saw your video doing The Imperial March 🤯 Keep the needle to the groove.

[@vjmedia4]

So refreshing to see a genuine positive attitude from a pro.

[@trevordsilva1637]

This is offing informative - I saw this system on a live session once and wondered why the hell he never changed records - and then you taught me DVS!

[@neosagrado]

you the man bruh! I am a newbie in the DJ field.. and I am opting to use DVS but dont really know how it works and... but after watching your video... man I am surely going for TURNTABLES and DVS! good job bro!

[@Lerf8]
