Turntable Tutorial 4 - TEAR (Faderless Scratch Technique)

[LucifersPage]

wha tkind of setup do you have? id really like to know

[tuestlehomme]

Damn you make this shit look easy. Thanks alot for the tutorials angelo, deffenitly helping me get the basics of true turntableism

[mck4real]

No disrespect to Ellaskin but I prefer Angelo better...

[djblend1]

I could watch this guy ALL DAY! *no homo*

[DJC0RTEZ]

so damn simple.. but difficult!

[norevcorpse]

watched ur tutorials and learned alot. thanks im still practicing tho

[frazertheblazer]

god damn u make this look easy

[DJControllerC]

DOPE!!! in the music theory world you are playing triplets (at 1:50)on the turntable, so a 4 on the floor beat would be counted like 1 la li 2 la li 3la li 4 la li - each downbeat gets three turntable notes- or if u wanna get real crazy like John Bohnam u could play 6 notes per downbeat- like some of his fills on "Whole Lotta Love" (Zepplin)-DJ Scratch kinda does it on Rampage

[MrUkbeats]

i dont even own any decks and im watchin theses cool vids

[dask8rguy]

@MrUkbeats same here man i just got a 90s panasonic with no neddle and im mostly clueless

[gspty]

btw, nice tutorials, very help, step by step and slowly for beginners. ive seen others tutorias that are suppouse to teach other people how to do it, but it seems they just want to show you what they can do.

[gspty]

is there any difference between real records and time code vinyls?, im using torq with 2 numark tt200 im learning to scratch. ok its obvious is there a difference, but is it too big or just any dj using djing softwares with vinyls can do this?

[moogbeatz99]

@gspty real records and time codes are exactly the same, but when you play a timecode all you will hear is an annoying high pitched tone with which the dj software uses to control the mp3 as if it was on the vinyl.

[sikor02]

I can't do it as fast as you !! :(

[killlerzoo]

Pinoy?

[killlerzoo]

hey Djangelo R u Noypi??

[truesouljs]

@killlerzoo Hi. On DJTutor,com it says he's from Burma (Burmese). Peace!

[MrRowrow22]

thanks so much mate these are really helping.

[1574nic1574]

Where do you find your beats instrumental :)

[gspty]

@1574nic1574 there are a lot of promo singles, the 12" records always come with original, acapella, instrumental, remixes, like 4 or 5 promo tracks.

[1574nic1574]

DJ Angelo how old were you when you started dj'ing :)?

[MrDeepfaith]

we got the funk!

[slowgo93]

I really want to get into DJing... and I'm just starting out without any experience. so are there any good turntable set ups that you would recommend for a beginner?

Thanks man:) great videos btw.

[BetterBboyBody]

@slowgo93 look at TT-200's by numark. there are also controllers out there like the VCI-300 and NI's S4 and many others. I myself use a Denon DN-MC6000 which isn't ideal for scratching but it will still get the job done for basic scratches such as this. Of course if you have money to spend buy 1200's and look at Rane mixers. Try your local guitar center (if you have one) to see what works for you.

[LongWayz713]

Angelo: I know u only use vinyl but by any chance would these tutorials work with Cdj 2000s?

[truesouljs]

@LongWayz713 Hi. Yes these should work with cdj's. As long as you have them in "Vinyl Mode" it's the same principal. Peace out...DJTrueSoul.

[peroxide85]

ur vids rock bro! ive just been teaching myself and alotta the stuff your vids cover have found me at the perfect time. ur tips for setting up the angles n shit have been super helpful. respect

[mattos000]

hey mate any chance of getting the names of the track you play @ 2.52? not the nelly track the other one.

by the way thanks for your tutorials they've made a big difference to not only my scratching but also my mixing..

[TheEmybdj]

[RealHHLIVES]

@polc318 always ...chum

[DeeejayEsPy]

u r too good maahnn!!

Respect!!

[justmusicsongs]

 techniques are the best

[MEKON17]

okay, question here. Why do you use your record hand to split the sound up and not the crossfader?

[teamglockfm3]

can i buy your shirts anywhere

[zpot420]

ur a beast dude

[OoooKingTonyoooO]

can anyone tell me where i can get the instrumental?

[mfoti92]

my hands hurt 

[omnipitantlyoriginal]

Cheers DJ Angelo, just watched all your videos and I'm gonna practice mega hard to try and do them at colelge as I don't own any turntables...

[Footewah]

Cheers for this DJAngelo. Your tutorials are spot on

[skidexa]

Great tutorials. I'm trying to perfect my tear scratches. The problem I'm having is that when I do the tears with the motor off, they sound clean. But when the motor is spinning, I can't seem to make the tears sound clean, any ideas? Or does it just take practise?

[UareInferior2me]

Your title screens reminds me of grand theft auto...

[MrFragallnoobs]

whats the backing track you use?

[poon9999999]

Just decent

this helps alot :))

cheers

[martinimarts]

drop

baby

baby

^win :D

[jigspin]

what is this for beat?

[psycomexican666]

i tried connecting my turntable to some stereo speakers but it doesnt play very loud, i could bearly hear the music. would i have to connect the turntable to a mixer to get a louder sound?

[teiresiasuk]

@psycomexican666 Yup, you need an amp of some description between the phono out from your deck and the speakers - this can either b a stereo amp (which can take a phono in) or a mixer

[tpalvia]

your tutorials are great, awesome job

[Tarttelinknot666]

hey man , what is the name of the mixer you have, it looks a pretty awesome mixer.

[RestLessIP]

@Tarttelinknot666 Technics SH EX 1200

[lilazeonboa]

Hey! Just got my NS7. Where can i purchase instrumental beats? what is recommend in your opinion.

[TheDJKIA]

your videos help me out alot man, its like having a dj teacher in right in front of my turn tables lol

keep up the good tutorials!

[UkStreetrat]

hey man, i have numark turntables, and when i release the record so it can carry on playing it kinda gradually continues playing. the platter is never stoppes spinning tho, any ideas why?

[michaelsvejcar]

Tutorials with DJ Angelo are so much better than expert village

[BJJLH]

thank you so much . these vids. are so helpfull .. next time I drop by UK i would love to see you at a live GIG .. = awesome .. thanks again mate

[Deucedj205]

just to let you dude.... i find these vids soooooo helpful. the breakdown that you provide is a solid foundation. along with a whole lot of practice and patience. Thanks for the inspirations.

[Tightjohn151]

Thanks for the tutorial, I am using the Ns7's and the turntable platters are soo much smaller then the record platters. slow practice and control makes perfect. Thanks again

[sticky909]

Dj AngeloUk, I have a question. Is the red light on the plater suppose to stay at the balance point when you scratch or this it also suppose to shift? I just bought some 1200's but i don't know if i'm scratching right; thanks.

[yojustmoveit]

this guy is a fuckng awesome techer

[chronicfuckingrules]

honestly man i Have learned so much from your tutorial videos, its amazing! big up to you! im envious of your technique and appreciate you sharing your skills! keep up your good work! hopefully i can post up a video reply of me learning some of your techniques! bless!!

[iSLANGDoPE]

you stay killing this shit

[juuunyyy]

name of the beat?

[DJCKBaltimore]

This is all good for showing off your skills. but I'm looking for a vid that has transition scratching "Scratching to get into the next song"

[Moozikul]

Work it out yourself. I'm sure Angelo, Jazzy Jeff or Tiesto didn't need tutorials when they learnt how to DJ. You can't become a fully fledged DJ by just watching tutorials so stop looking for all the answers and find them our yourself!

[TheFundRaiserBeats]

@Moozikul

All those artists matter except Tiesto.

Fuck trance. 

[harrowrudeboy]

just apply what you learn into your mixing

[leedsanalogue]

@DJCKBaltimore - unless I've really misunderstood you here, to transition from track to track by scratching you can do whatever style/ technique you want (from babies on up) as long as you keep count of bars and beats. You should complete an 8- or 16-bar phrase with scratches (in line with the current track) and release the sample on the next beat. Best way to hit your cue when you're learning is count in the last four beats and then fully release the record - "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and (drop)".

[DomincanXpanther]

whats the name of the beat that angelo is cutting to

[mmmnnx]

i know its the beat to we got the funk by beatnuts but i dont know if it came from another song too

[Kiedis95]

Damn! I need that beat! what is it?

[vinylseducer]

the best tut i seen so far mate :-)

[Scorpiosign53]

i hate when they do This in DJ Hero lol

[allsoppy5]

DJ hero is so fucking shit it makes me want to scream!

[technogeek5509]

I SECOND THE MOTION!!! Whenever i tell people i dj they r always like "lol what... do u use dj hero?" f*** that... but hell this tutorial is gonna help me out tons...

[dewudzki]

love that tune in the bg

[hollowreaper13]

dang 6:21 was pretty (sic)

[tominator999]

slipknot fan?

[567pika]

the tutorials you do are the bestes im a middle ischooler and im learning to use turntables in music we watchin all ur vids UR AWSOME AT THIS

[cocotrees808]

i just watched your previous videos and i was wondering if you adjusted the height from zero and anti-skate when doing these scratches. Keep them videos coming... so informative and the best out THERE PERIOD.

[djmrbrown00]

just cannot get tears to save my life!! DAMN

[DJAbstruse]

i share your pain man lol keep at it

[bizzyfingers]

me too hahaha

[Devestato72]

mAKE A PAC MAN MOUTH WITH YOUR HAND. tHEN PUT THE MOUTH OF THE PAC MAN ON THE RECORD. tHEN MOVE THE MOUTH OF THE PAC MAN IN A TEAR MOTION. yOU CAN EVEN USE YOU THUMB TO FLICK RECORD. tHATS HOW I DO IT. TRY IT OUT C IF YOU LIKE IT

[magnolia2slim]

I appreciate these tutorials...I'm getting ready to buy these Denon 3700s and a Rane 57SL. I can mix well...however I want to be able to throw some scratches into it!

[KeveyKev1]

DJAngelo I love your tutorials, but the tear is killin me. I cant get it as crisp as I want it. it seems like its all over the place. I'm going to keep at it...

[DjMethod82]

Who got the funk ;)

Btw nice tutorial mate.

[aussierapforife]

Dj angelo, everytime i try to do just the standard tear when the record is spinning, it always seems to skip, you have any idea why? im not pressing on the vinyl that much but it always skips once i start to try and speed it up, any queries??

[DJAngeloUK]

Could be a number of reasons - poor needles, too heavy handed, record hole too big, slipmat not slippery enough, record is damaged. Try doing it as slowly and gently as you can to identify the problem. Have a watch through my earlier tutorials fo some guidance...

[Brummy010]

Hi, what turntables do you use?

[JettaJoeMan]

@DJAngeloUK Whats the name of the beat you are tear in to ?

[jack01237]

@JettaJoeMan the beatnuts - we got the funk

[MattyTheMole]

@aussierapforife Did you ever figure out what was making your record skip?

[cossheisnmzenna]

@aussierapforife look up videos for setting up your tone arm properly, and anti skid.

[DJCalCuttah]

@aussierapforife also make sure you have a stable foundation. if the table UNDER your setup(turntables/mixer or whatever you've got) is all wobbly, thats gonna contribute to skipping

[pdizzlee]

ever scratch on the stanton c324? im using those right now.

[DJAngeloUK]

I only use turntables...

[termil2010]

@DJAngeloUK So I guess ,none of what you said would apply to me using a numark iDj3? It's literallym y first time, and I'm kinda dissapointed nothing I saw on your vids may not work :/

[gomachols]

@termil2010 don't be disappointed in the vids man, disappointed with your purchase!

[djfridgeman]

great tutorials DJ angelo, i'm a dj tutor but i mainly teach beatmatching, this has really helped get a solid idea of different scratch techniques, your teaching style is very good, do you work with young people by any chance?

[DJAngeloUK]

Yes, I manage and deliver youth music projects during the day and DJ at night...

[jonrotheneberger]

@DJAngeloUK hahahahahaha "helping kids by day, DJ'ing at night...." sounds like a superhero premis

[robertjamesallen]

@DJAngeloUK very good stuff keep it up

[StyleHunter]

gosh you make that look so easy

5* thanks for your vids :)

[iibxflankin]

what i love seeing is that b4 any scratching he does he rubs his hands 2gether pretty funny

[kremser]

you should practise - what else :D

[522PsYcHoScReAm114]

im havin truble w doin tears i thnk cuzza my hands r double jointed n bend so much. What should i do?

[FuzzleProject]

I can give u an advice, get any rap song, then, go to the end or start where thre is no vocals, and make a loop of 8-16 seconds with the no vocals part and voila an awsome beat :).

[reaper7695]

how do you make a loop? sorry i am new.

[DjSpinArt]

depends on what decks you have

[Arrowheadnutz]

I used to "try" to DJ way back in my youngerdays... I even had two 1200's and a vestax mixer... Watching you is starting to get my fever flowing again lol.. Thanks for the lessons, you are really great!! Peace!!

[funkydai77]

great teacher!

poice

[djdumbbi]

For all you other guys reading, this tutorial also paves the way to practice the Prizm Scratch and the Clover Tears! Pretty important if you're trying to nail it down! (like me).

[bobbystips]

I have real trouble with tears. Should most of the motion come from your wrist or from your fingers?

[DJAngeloUK]

For me its a bit of both however, the way you scratch will be unique to you. Perform the technique as slow as necessary until you discover what works for you. Then you can build on this...

[bobbystips]

Cool. Thanks for the advise!

[mfryc66]

This doesn't work too well with the CDJ400's :( need a bigger platter

[temikadze]

Same problem, dude! Spent 3 hours practicing! It's too distance-sensitive!(

[Joshy771]

Mate, you have shed loads of vinyl.

[bodhi3131]

great help there... thanx for the share, I learnt quite a bit today! cheers mate!

[Alani004]

Awsome tutorial.But lets say that you are in a band and you make your own beats how you can play the if you dont have them in vinyls?

[DJRetaliator]

You should bye Serato Scratch Live and then you can play your beats, and scratch whatever you want, anything you have in your own laptop...

[ElvisBluntman777]

i didn't get you :o

[Joshy771]

You get timecoded vinyl. This means they stay on your turntables and you don't need to keep changing vinyl. The program you'll use on your computer/laptop is called Serato Scratch Live (as DJRetaliator said). All you do is choose the song (from Serato Scratch Live) and it will be on the timecoded vinyl. Timecoded vinyl cost more, but you are open to such a wider range of tunes.

[James87crosby87]

i'm looking at getting serato scratch live but i'm only starting out and i don't wanna go buy heaps of vinyl records.. am i better off starting out with standard records or can i get SSL straight out?

peace.

[djwelly]

SSL will be fine, I use it myself, you just have to ensure your system is tuned and set up for minimum latency. You should buy some vinyl battle records though, as nothing really compares to using real vinyl.

[pasta007y]

Great tutorials man. Broken down really well and very easy to follow. Keep it up!

[thebigkitty]

Really easy to follow and develop ideas from your tutorials. Simple is best. You are a fine sensei! Thanks for taking the time to make these!

[halo2norden]

What is the song name of the beat you use? :)

[DJAngeloUK]

Beatnuts - We Got The Funk

[kingAcRaIc]

were can you vinyl?

[sandiegocalifas619]

The reason why some people probably like this djs teaching more is because on Qberts videos if you havent noticed his crossfader is set backwards!

[dcsnipr]

true. qberts plays hampster style, which is too difficult for me. i tried it and it has me comfused alot. id say try them both out and see which one feels more comfortable.

[TheMarsVolt]

awesome video, thanks for taking the time to make this.

[Aeffensgesicht]

no disrespect to Q-Bert, but your tutorial is way better Angelo! thx ;)

[DJAngeloUK]

Thanks for the generous compliment!

Just trying to make a difference....

[sandiegocalifas619]

The reason why you probably like this djs teaching more is because on Qberts videos if you havent noticed his crossfader is set backwards!

[donanttu]

just bought my first technics! got good tips from here!!

[dugry18]

best scratch teacher on youtube!!

your really good.

keep on going

[nigiano]

This is some good stuff

[necrogen98325]

Hey, do you know of any good websites that sell instrumentals on LP, and that ship within the EU? (Spain, to be more specific).

[DJAngeloUK]

Maybe try juno(dot)co(dot)uk

[GoodMuzik08]

Whats the track ID 2:45 Angelo ? (dont know when I last heard that track)

[DJAngeloUK]

"We Got The Funk" by The Beatnuts...

[holman26]

VERY NICE SIR

[danielgoneloco]

i know you told me you wouldnt recomend any mixers to me since they might not fit me since we might have different style, but by what you know, is the stanton sk-2f good for its price, or can i find anything better for its price. anyone please reply, i will appriciate it!

[DJAngeloUK]

Good little mixer, especially for the price.

I used to have one and remember it having really slick faders. If you're not too rough with it, it should perform fine.

[spynee]

damn, if only this video was out in 1989, i coulda beat chad jackson to the finals :)

[1siesta]

Really really good. Most vids on here from scratch pros tell you what scratch they're going to teach you then proceed to perform it battle style, rendering the video completely useless for someone trying to learn. You got it down. Bravo!

[humby]

great tutorials. been djing for years, just learned some new moves from this- Thanks DJAngeloUK!

[Muelus]

WOW...this guy can teach....

best tutorials i have seen by far..

cheers...

[DJAngeloUK]

Thanks Holderz. Respect!

[MixDting]

nice vid good 2 see uk talent teaching others man big up! im learning how to scratch and it would be gd to start see some vids of you breakin down some FLARE techniques!!

[DJAngeloUK]

Thanks MixDting, I'm just trying to share some of my knowlegde with others. I will definately be covering more advanced techniques but for the benefit of beginners, I am starting at the basics. It's strong foundations that makes a good turntablist.

So please bear with me...

[djvictorsalazar]

I think what you are doing is great!! I think I am start to get the hang of this!!!

Thank you!

[DJAngeloUK]

Thanks for the support. You will definately see improvement if you stick at it. Don't forget to have fun though...

[ellaskins]

QUALITTTYYYYYYYY!!!! J
