  • Don't Skip the Baby Scratch! How DJs Scratch and Add Variation
    The baby scratch is more important than you think. It's easy to gloss over the baby scratch as it seems so simple, don't do this! In this baby scratch tutorial, I go over how to baby scratch for beginners and also how to add variation to our babies using fundamental principles.

    You explain turntablism very well my man... I remember practicing my backward tears. I used to run home from school. I had a realistic turntable. I used to spend up to 2 hours a day.. I used to listen to DJ . Chuck Chillout. DJ Red Alert. And imitate what I heard... as you can guess made many mistakes

    Great video Si. In January I did some deliberate baby scratch practice, 15 mins every day. When I started I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be great fun and I started to think about the baby scratch in a different way. I guess I now respect it a bit more as a technique. I'm really glad I spent the time on it.

    Awesome video! I really like how you do a demo on the deck after illustrating a point on the mic. Plus the variety of babies you performed (different timing) helps a lot for creativity. Thanks again Si! Keep em coming..

    Awesome video! I just started scratching and I have been thinking that rather than rush on to 'cooler' scratch techniques I should slow down and work on baby scratches. Your video is a huge encouragement! Thanks!

      Go for it! You can do so much with just a couple of scratches is you know what you're doing.

    Loving your videos, may I suggest Q&A scratch videos, am sure many djs here would love to learn from you. Sure there are many out there, but I'm theres a different approach you can introduce. Surely that may help you reach that 10k milestone

    Lol as a teenager I also used to scratch with my hoodie zip man, I think that's how I really started to want to become a DJ haha. BTW nice record on the back, is that the soundtrack of Planete Sauvage movie? really loved that classic french animation movie, very psychodelic!

    Hey there, what's the setting on your tonearm, anti skating, and stylus/needle? It looks so stable even with the heavy scratching. My needle keeps skipping constantly. Appreciate the videos

    is scratching always 4/4 timing?

    • @SiHargreaves
      @SiHargreaves  3 года назад

      I wouldn't say that no counting triplets over a 4/4 beat is a nice way to add some interest. I guess some cuts are naturally 3/4 if you repeat them over and over eg boomerangs
