Turntable Tutorial 3 - SCRATCHING BASICS (Part 2 of 2)

[koyuki0726]

thank you dj :)

[chrishiphop1]

could u tell me good vinysl with voacl samples on e-bay?

[Rare0Blaze100]

Yeah... I thought of starting dj'ing cuz its look real cool and fun! :D But should I get cd players or vinyl?? Which is easiest? Isn't it hard to get the beats you want on vinyl? Help is appreciated ;))

[360spider06]

sadly i only have a virtual plater like on the computer so i have to use the mouse so its a little harder is there any tricks? for some one in my situation?

[WinstonChurchillwave]

@360spider06 Yeah man, there's this trick i used to get me out of that situation! I wend down to the shop, and i bought myself some turntables and some records, and it made everything much easier. A lot of my friends have used this trick too and it's worked every time!

[RoryRewinds]

wierd question man but im just starting out ive got 1200s and same slipmats as you. when i let go of the record it doesnt just play at normal speed. the record takes about 1second to catch back up. im sure im putting the right amount of pressure on because if i hold the record the platter is still moving fine. what could be causing it? and cheers for these vids . best tutorials out there

[thevidfather]

OH WOAH!

[googleboughtmee]

man i can't get over how good you can do it without even touching the crossfader

[Stephenmartin14]

Can you just Use 1 Turntable

[kfcjake1998]

thumbs up for intro :P

[DJControllerC]

great video!!! So this is a variation of the baby scratch then? The last vid said the turntable platter isnt spinning for a baby scratch

[moogbeatz99]

@DJControllerC the platter doesn't have to spin for it to be a baby scratch, the baby scratch is just a back and forth scratch without the crossfader, where you here both the forward and back motions of the scratch

[victorbruun]

@DJControllerC Well, im a complete noob on this. but the motion looks like the baby scratch.

[MrSlaveMentality]

Got exactly the same setup!!! just bought my first set of turntables ever!! and its exactly the same what are the odds! same mixer too! got it for cheap! any way almost mastered this! next lesson

[BlackCalvinist]

5 people are on belt drive turntables and cheap needles.

[chupavi89]

I searched long and hard for good Turntable lessons, and there are some good ones but DJ Angelo is i the best. Greetings from Croatia!

[Axamdeep]

The instrumental is The Last Skeptik - Prior to the Present (feat. Sway)

[gueriita3535]

wow your baddass!!

[3333mitsoulas]

what's the sample???? :/

[g4mmo]

can i scratch like that in a mixtrack pro?

[jakkaify]

nice stuff! i bought 1 stanton direct drive turntable and boss 202 mixer, Helpful info learned a bit from this! Thanks!

[abjolly06]

hey DJ Angelo, I've been watching your videos about scratching and i tried it on the Numark Itch and it doesnt sound the same as how you play it in the videos, can you help me? please

thanks

[LandScapeProd]

you make it look so easy ahaa

[BobbiFresh]

Whenever I pull back and let go for a drop i feel like my record lags.. Why is this?

[truesouljs]

@BobbiFresh Hi. That could be due to the torque (or lack of torque) on your turntable. I used to have rubbish tables with very little torque so instead of just letting go of the record I'd give it a little push. It helped a lot. Peace...DJTrueSoul.

[cupphouse]

@BobbiFresh the hole in the middle of your record might also be a little bit too loose. i suggess you check turotial 2 by dj angelo

[TheWordMC]

angelo, im planning on buying my own set of turn tables what do you recommend buying?

[hiby3434]

What a boss!!! This guy deserves some donations, man...this stuff is great!!

[michael34453]

I was having fun scratching to my records using the baby scratch/drop combo. Yes, it's very basic, but you can tell that when you are doing it that you are using all the skills of a really good scratch dj.

[gameboyxp]

thax dude your an awsome teecher

[alejotriana97]

Thanks it really helped!!! :)

[gomachols]

i know this guy, this is the dude that did the awesome christmas scratching right? man i saw that like two years ago. nice. i remember thinkin 'man i wish i knew what that guy was doin - sure nuff ...here's the best tuts on here

[DJSkillMoves]

what is the track you are scratching over in the end?

[spenoir1]

These have got to be one of the best sets of tuts on youtube for turntablism. Nice job mate!

[jackarat]

When I let go to start the drop the record takes a split second to get to full speed. Is this a problem? or is this normal?

[djhenleys]

What's the instrumentle you use called

[gomachols]

@djhenleys take the dj out your name fool

[djhenleys]

@gomachols no need at all iv only asked to whats it called so i can use it ...... so shut your mouth

[gomachols]

@djhenleys my bad dude, i thought i was still on the Part 1 of the tutorial and you were asking about the biggie tune. i don't know what this track is either - cheers

[djhenleys]

@gomachols its ok :) ...

[djhenleys]

@gomachols no need at all iv only asked to whats it called so i can use it ...... so shut your mouth

[DevonD906]

where do you find records with just beats on them?

[DJCalCuttah]

@DevonD906 EVERYWHERE. look up Paul Nice's Drum Library. just drum tracks onnem. i think thats what they're called

[westup1213]

is it possible to do drops using serato?

[zx9rider11]

@westup1213 yes u can drops wit serato..

[Killroi99]

[aceofspadez23]

[YTPkid101]

[YoUrReAlFaThA]

I'd love to know which instrumental Angelo used for this baby scratch/ drop demo. Any ideas?

[RazieldiICCP]

whats the name of the instrumental playing?

[showtime643]

These vids are great for the beginner!!

[djflash38]

can sumone give me a review on audio technica turntables

[quiff96x]

i went to get your turntables mate and they said they are discontinued 

[amphibiousoner]

@quiff96x there are millions of them all over the world, and they are built like Sherman tanks. so get your hands on a pair of used ones...you will be better off than buying any other table brand new..

[muhhlichemuhh]

it's a nice instrumental beat.

by whom is the beat and what's its name.?

thanks.

Absolutly the best Scratch Tutorial in the web...

[paps02]

subscribed!!! awesome vids!!!

[reptilliantoker78]

oooh shh

[parsleyfromhell]

this is amazing!! it´s great to learn! thank you!

[steve702]

You male it sound so easy but how would it work with the digital controllers since their is a slight delay. (Hercules rmx for example).

[naeggli44]

OMG the intro is sooooooo sick!!!! i'm dying! XD thanks a lot you're great!

[sheehy91]

would this work for my numark ns7s

[Jhardcore88]

These videos are very usefuland well put together..thanx for making them much love and respect from LA

[DJLadyMajesty]

youre the best at teaching!

[GOBFilms]

Thank you so much! Its been a blast mixing Dave Chapelle's "I'm rich bitch!" to beats xD.

Just got started with turntables, and I am loving the hell out of it!

Thanks for the tutorials!

[AspireToDoItAll]

Great tutorials, by far the best I've seen. This is just what I needed to help me get started with scratching... Thanks a bunch! (Also, I love your intro!) =]

[666hi666go2hell666]

whtas the name of the instrumental playing?

[mexicanbeast14]

hey um i want to start using turntables,and i want a good brand,but that dosnt cost alot cuzz my dad is short on money wat brand would you recomend?

[badaboom25]

@mexicanbeast14 you should get some numark t200's, they're about 200 bucks and work just as well, thats what i use

[guitar16]

roughly, what would it cost for a good turntable (stable and reliable), a mixer, and speakers? $700? $900?

[Teqskater]

@guitar16 Much more. For only the speakers and amplifiers and cable's i gonna spend around 2000 Euro's. That will cover 400 people. I have now digital versions of turntables. The pioneer 800's with a Dateq XTC Mixer. I bought them second hand for 800 in total. Normal Vinyl turntables cost around 200 euro's i guess and a good mixer around 600 i gues. But the real vinyl plates cost about 20 euros over here in Holland. I hope this helps you.

[secondsightprod]

Thank You DJAngelo. You helped me a lot with basics of scratching, best tutorial ever! :)

[lewdon2471]

[mzsworm]

These videos are sooo helpful...thanks dj angelo

[iSLANGDoPE]

you def do you thing my dude

[juuunyyy]

name of the beat?

[oj713479]

yo dj angelo i have a question

do different turntables sound different

like do technics sound different that numark

because i have some numark turntables and when i scratch it sounds way different than your technics

[psm13]

You might want to change your cartridge, I got some Shure M44-7 which is industry standard and is used in the video. I have some Numark TTX-1's which are fine.

[kristobendito]

enormeous clap! i love this video tutorials lol thank you so much for doing this!!

[markiejsis]

[AntiParticle1]

Amazing tutorials!! Big ups to DJ Angelo for putting these up on youtube, you are helping countless people! Just one question, where is that amazing beat at 2:16 from?

[lukain]

fuckin best tutorial on youtube!

[fuxyhau]

dj angelo is # 1

[HalalBeats]

biggup DJ Angelo ... good to hear 'Prior To The Present' used man

[alexfrias6]

does a turntable works without a mixer?

[markiejsis]

@alexfrias6 A record player works without a mixer, but if you intend on scratching or mixing then yes you need a mixer.

[symbspider33]

This is helpin me so much thanks!

[PunkrockerSkater182]

hey can yo tell me what is te stuff i need to do this

the name, number of pieces etc.

thankyou

[ruslanio]

Hey Angelo, would you suggest getting a pair of turntables and a mixer of beginner level (Numark/Stanton package), or one good turntable (Stanton st-150/Technics 1200) and a good turntablism mixer (Vestax 05-PMC)? I'm on a budget of 950$

[dereplay1]

@ruslanio Definantly get some technics 1200s or top of the line turntables and mixer. If you mess with cheap stuff it will break due to the wear and tear that scratching employs on your mixer.

[damonskates]

@ruslanio stay AWAY from lower end turntables that come as a package, like the battle pack. save up and buy techs or something similar. you can get a pair of decent used turntables for 500-600 dollars.

[djkaseone]

just get two used technics off ebay they are pretty cheap on there or check out used music equipment stores and pawn shops. Craigslist works too. You should be able to get REAL CHEAP. maybe a whole setup for 400-500. seriously

[BigDaddyPun1]

"so fresh so clean, man had a dream,used to do the shuffle and the bogle, back in the day ays....."

[sh7x]

hello guys! im a beginner to turntablism and i would like to help me!! :P first of all : my equip is a numark dm925 mixer and a pair of numark 1625 turntables.. i got the follow disks : needle thrasers alpha and delta, and i cant find a good sound to start with..... can u share any info or thoughts???!!!!

[badassmofo222]

dude check any other vinyl and lps you got . im getting into djing too and a cousin of mine one of his favorite samples to use is from an old simon and garfunkle album lol !

[pakostar111]

what's good ?only tech and vestax ,specially vestax :-)

[UssehOpoh]

What is a good turntable fo' beginner... thinkin' to buy

[bizzyfingers]

numark tt200

[juanguerra89]

What kind of slipmats would you recommend mine lag ??

[Nate1300000]

First off, thanks alot for the help Angelo! I (along with so many other users out there) appreciate you creating these tutorials! I have to say though, I just noticed that the DAY you subscribed on YouTube, is the same DAY that I was born! Kinda creepy, yet @ the same time, inspirational!

_Thanks!

[FreeHipHopForYou]

whats the name of your turntables and mixer?

[DJAngeloUK]

Technics SL 1200 turntables

Technics SH-EX1200 mixer

[FreeHipHopForYou]

maybe im gettin' the mixer, thx for the invite!

[cMaXeJIJIo]

@DJAngeloUK Technics MK2, mate? :)

[planbsk8tin]

@DJAngeloUK About How much did your tuntables and mixer cost?

[josepchappa]

@planbsk8tin if you look at ebay for technics you will find a lot...one new costs round like 700-750€

i got mine used for 350€ each one with an ortofon concorde needle. some on ebay are without needle so you have to look, cause a needle like this costs about 80-120€. the mixer costs round 300€. i recommend that you look on other second hand sites, not ebay, cause there you will find more cheaper tt's and mixers as on ebay.

[thenesho]

Bless you and your reliable insight! People like you help make the world a funkier place to chill in.

[cmonutube]

best dj tutor ive seen on any website

[Joshy771]

You just got a subscriber son.

Great vids and they are entertaining. Doesn't make it a drag to watch, whoever knew learning could be fun? ;)

[6666Wolf56666]

thanks a ton for creatin these vids man.

[clamantuanguyan]

awesome

[xavixx]

Thanks for the tutorial!!

[SergeantHi5]

nice one.

[Timberland11]

great job ! funky finger on 2.25!

[DjAlanRoberts]

I used to use vinyl, but have lately moved onto the cdj's, can you get the same effect using cdj's.

[Joshy771]

Better off sticking to vinyl mate. They are so much better, you'll get more respect (I know it's not important but it's a bonua) and also they take more skill which would be beneficial to you. But hey, if you prefer CDJs then I'm not one to tell you to change.

[dupree500]

what are your preferences regarding mixers? i have the 1200s, but i don't think this Nu-

mark3's crossfader is gonna cut it for me down the road a little.

[DJAngeloUK]

If you can afford it, you can't go wrong with a Rane...

[dupree500]

thanks.

[samoafiafia]

ur da man

[jrocca22]

you know where i can find a pair of affordable technic's?

[jrocca22]

nevermind i found a used pair for 200 each!

[jrocca22]

my tables dont seem to get back up to speed as fast as yours, is it because they are belt drive? and is that gonna make this harder to do?

[DJAngeloUK]

Yes, belt drive turntables don't have a lot of torque (turning power) so direct drive turntables are always ideal for DJing and especially turntablism. It's not impossible to perform on belt drives but you'll definitely need slippery slipmats and you may aso have to give the record a little push when releasing it to get it up to speed immediately.

[OsmanForce]

im new in this but do u need a special dj turntable 2 do that?

[JV567]

so you have 2 different tracks and you mix them together right... sorry probley a stupid question but im new

[DJAngeloUK]

If you don't ask, you don't learn :)

Yes, I am playing a record on the left turntable which is an instrumental beat and I am scratching a sound on a different record on the right turntable. (You can't see the left turntable because it is out of shot). The mixer between the 2 turntables allows you to hear 1 record or both records at the same time. Hope this helps. If you're completely new to DJing I'd recommend you check out the "Getting Started" tutorials by Ellaskins AKA The DJ Tutor.

[JV567]

appreciate it man  keep up the good work

[FatboySimms]

can these same principals be applied to cdj's with the same effect?

[DJAngeloUK]

You've asked a great question and one that is often up for debate.

It is possible to "scratch" on most modern CDJs but a lot of the principals won't apply as much of the artform cannot be expressed on CDJs. Although technology is always moving forward, "Turntablism" is authentically about using Turntables - needle on vinyl etc. Passionate turntablists will tell you that a CDJ just doesn't feel the same as manipulating vinyl on a turntable. The only CDJ that came close for me is the Numark CDX

[FatboySimms]

thanks

[succogastrico77]

(obviously kidding my record looks like a pizza ;P ) i mean some homemade tricks to clean it. so far... thank's i've found a cleaning kit on a catalogue called "scratch it up".

[DJAngeloUK]

Pizza?! You can buy vinyl record cleaning fluid from most record shops. Have a search online.

[succogastrico77]

i'm doing a lot of practice and obviously record now is dirty 'cause of fingertips ;/

i've searched many forums but still don't have ideas on how to clean up my pizza...

any suggestions?
