    I'd really like to see more videos like this one. There are way too many 'this is how you do a flare, transform etc etc... Not enough turntablist explaining how they are putting their vibe together.

    Interesting take on the 'scratch rhyming'! Glad DJ's like Rob are keeping the art of scratching fresh, because I have to admit, as much as I love scratching, too many dj's i've heard, lack variety and innovation.
    Props to Rob and all at the Scratch Academy!

    Rob I've been a scratchin since I was 18. I'm 36 I learned how to scratch before I leaned how to mix. I've totally been hamsterring the whole time.(basically because my fader wouldn't cut any more on the right side when I was learning) Around 97-98 you really evolved. Your juggles were always (and still are) mad dope. You can tell that you definitely put in some work to step your scratching game up . I watched the 98 tour video countless times (scratching what is it ) was a great example of your effort. Do you think it would be more beneficial If I learned how to cut normal style? I feel like I might have to back to the basics.

    OG SKRATCHING rite there, this guy kicks fukn ass!! Shout out to you guys, y'all are so appreciated, on some real shit tho!! Thanx for your video Rob, your awesome, & interesting, as always. Your appreciated, & I look forward to gettn better, & utilizing all these skills y'all are teaching. Respex, Big Upz, & Mad Love to the DJ's. Its really cool that your talking about using your passion,& inner soul, & implementing it into our skratching, rather then just simply goin by technique,& schoolbook scratching,& following these steps or different skratches,like mirroring someone else. Instead, I believe you mean to basically putting your own style & finesse into your approach, & basically have fun! Lol... Yeah, thats rite,have fun,& maybe you mite sound good,maybe not,but at least having fun is very important to me, I can't exactly speak for everyone, but thats partly why I got into learning skratching,& how to do certain skratches. But, I wicked liked how you said that. Cause its very important to have fun while skratching,plus, I strongly believe that will also help with learning & utilizing all the different routines,& skills involved in da game...... 👍🙏😎🥁📀🎚️🎧🎼🎶🎵🎛️

    How Much is skratch a
    Skool? Definitely would love to get involved, for sure. I just finished modifying my portable Reloop Spin Portable Turntable, with a metal platter from "Solid Cutz", Jessie Dean tonearm, from"Jessie Dean Designs", & Mini Innofader Pro-SP, from "Innofader ". So now that I've got my portable where I'd like it to be, now I feel like I can take my practicing serious, ya know, & im really trying to learn this from the best, & you, & everyone at the academy are amazing skratch DJ's, & artists, with never-ending skills for DayZ. And also Qbert, & the Incredible Skratch Pickles, also, as well, plus, Mixmaster Mike, & many other amazing DJ's, as well. I've been trying to self teach myself, with these videos as my teacher, & my own space, & Portable Turntable, as my class & skool work, ya know. Lol.... Bahahaha.... But yea man, I'm not brand new at this, I've been involved for a few years now, trying to learn this correctly, to where I'm happy with the results that im gettn, but just aint there quite yet! Id like to join the academy someday, but, does this seem like a good way for me to learn, for now, where im not actually in a school for it technically?? Thanx man, just looking for tips from the pros, & advice from the prophets..... Much Love, Big Upz, & Mad Respex!!.... 👍🙏😎🥁📀🎚️🎧🎼🎶🎶🎛️

  • @buddafingaz9403
    @buddafingaz9403 4 года назад +1

    Now, when im practicing, wich obviously I'm very new at this, I usually just listen to the beat that im feeling at that moment, & sort of just freestyle it, & try different techniques, trying not to focus so much on technicalities, & exact ways of doing things. Lol... Is that not good that I learn that way alot, or should I seriously count beats, & stay on count?? Not gonna lie, I've never approached skratching with counting, in all honesty. Ive usually just skratched what I enjoy hearing, & what I seem to be gettn better with, & then try mixing it up, & changing it up, but I naturally seem to wanna go with the beat, & obviously, it probably sounds better to me, cause its myself, but, is this a bad way to learn & practice, or whats your input on this my friend, thanx a bunch Rob, your the man, & your very appreciated, as always....... 👍🙏😎🥁📀🎚️🎚️🎵🎼🎛️

    • @Mace2124

    Hi Rob Swift my name is Raheem Cornwell aka Dj Rah C from Rock Hill South Carolina I'm 23 and I been learning how to Dj since DJ hero 1 came out from the Game to the Real turntables the first scratch i learn was the baby scratch, the tranform all of it.I scratch very good with my right hand but not my left hand.How can i scratch good with my left hand as my right hand?

    • @LinxAudio
      @LinxAudio 8 лет назад

      +DJ Rah.C Yo, Rah, the answer to learning to scratch with your left hand, is practice!
      It might sound simple, and hard at the same time. Naturally, as with writing, we're going to be stronger with one hand over the other. A lot of dj's are better with one hand over the other, but they either practice so that they can perform strong with both, or they find ways to get around not using the weaker hand for performing scratches. Also, its not just the scratching that you would have to work on. You also have to train your strong scratching hand to use the fader.
      In the end, find what works best for you. Peace.
