Scratch trainings: Learn to scratch<\/a> requires a combination of knowledge, training, and listening. So, there is no shortcut like any other discipline, you need technique and training.<\/a> So, practice with the Scratch Q&A.<\/p>\n 1 Q&A Part 1<\/p>\n 2 Q&A Part 2<\/p>\n 3 Q&A Part 3<\/p>\n 4 Q&A Part 4<\/p>\n 5 Q&A Part 5<\/p>\n 6 Q&A Part 6<\/p>\n 7 Q&A Part 7<\/p>\n 8 Q&A Part 8<\/p>\n 9 Q&A Part 9<\/p>\n 10 Q&A Part 10<\/p>\n 11 Q&A Part 11<\/p>\n 12 Q&A Part 12<\/p>\n 13 Q&A Part 13<\/p>\n 14 Q&A Part 14<\/p>\n 15 Q&A Part 15<\/p>\n 16 Q&A Part 16<\/p>\n 17 Q&A Part 17<\/p>\n 18 Q&A Part 18<\/p>\n 19 Q&A Part 19<\/p>\n 20 Q&A Backward Scratch<\/p>\n 21 Q&A 3 click flare<\/p>\n The scratch<\/b><\/i> (or scratching<\/b><\/i>) is a process that consists of manually changing the reading speed of a vinyl record<\/a> under a read head<\/a> from vinyl turntable.<\/a> Thus, alternately forward and backward, so as to produce a special effect,<\/a> the sound becomes higher when accelerated and lower when slowed down. In addition to this manipulation of the vinyl, a modification of the volume<\/a> (increase, decrease or cut) allows to give a rhythm<\/a> to this modulation.<\/p>\n Therefore, the hand on the vinyl controls the height<\/a> of the sound (high or low). The hand located on the crossfader<\/a><\/i> of the mixer controls the rhythm of the sound, while the other hand does not. Thus, there are many different techniques of scratch, <\/i>In any case it is a discipline still in full evolution. Also several different techniques associated are called \"Combos\". In this way these combos bring the DJ<\/a> to constantly evolve this practice.<\/p>\n Let's start with the first popular scratch track is called The Adventures of the Wheels of Steel<\/i> from Grandmaster Flash<\/a> (1981). It is thus this title which made discover the scratch<\/i> from Grand Wizzard Theodore<\/a> to the general public is Rock It<\/i> from Herbie Hancock<\/a> (1983) with Grandmixer DST<\/a> at the turntables. Also a passage that is very often used for scratching is the phrase \" This stuff is really fresh<\/i>\u00a0\"at the end of the piece Change the Beat<\/a><\/i> of \"Fab Five Freddy\" and the singer \"Beside\".<\/i><\/p>\n In conclusion, you will progress with Scratch Q&A, Scratch training and learning new techniques.<\/p>\n Finally, here is the equipment you need: A direct drive (magnetic) turntable, not a belt-driven turntable. Note that the brands Technics, Vestax, Numark, Stanton and Reloop are recommended. Also a Scratch-type mixer (adjustable crossfader curve). As well as a direct drive turntable including \"crossfader and fader\" (Vestax QFO).<\/p>\n\n The beginnings of Scratch:<\/h4>\n
