[magentheras]

So freaking awesome! =)

[ReidYo]

what's the first scratch sample called?

[ellaskins]

Known as the Ahhhhh scratch  from a French group....band ... any one got more info.....? j

[djaditya86]

@ellaskins Yea, its the Ahhhh sample. If you plan to use it on a CDJ, i think they have a sample set available on the internet for free for practice. Not sure where. Just google Scratch Samples for DJs.

[Djclement2002]

good work J ME.. thanx for the tips & triks that u show me @ MOS!!!

cheers

DJ Clement

[Scimu]

[tinytuco]

Great vid, think that sounds wicked...... im off to practice...... ignore the haters, they are just talentless and jealous......

[Fachjargon]

what are the tracknames pleaaaseee?? =(

[superrobotmunkyman]

from the age or 14 not 14 years

[Atomic3000]

i'd like to know know aswell where to get the basic scratch sound your using =) any chance for uploading to a public sharing site, if it's a sound you recorded personaly, it's not covered by copyright ? =)

[ihearvoices22]

search for Scratch Roulette there are a few of these samples on it. though i cant remember where but there is a site where you can download a sample file that has about 3 short clips in it.

[Atomic3000]

@ihearvoices22

Sounds Good =) thanks for info =)

[Jmeg333]

The video was intended to demonstrate a new technique using modern technology. It's also a great way of creating new types of scratch sounding effects.

Would just like to point out, if anybody can do this technique, why is not being demonstrated by most DJ's like your self mgband?

J-Me*

[spacecowboy22]

dont get sucked in dude, pretty sure you said 14 years of scratchin, like i tole mgband didnt see any scratchable cdj's 14 years ago

[djshaq123]

Hey J-Me* :)

Nice vid mate.. Any trick that can add to a dj's arsenal is worth knowing.And this would def turn a few heads.

1 QUESTION - The actual scratch/sample sound ur using does it have a specific name? Bin searchin for this sound for a while mate..

Cheers.

SHAQ.

[Jmeg333]

The scratch sample is called: Ahh

search on google for free scratch samples

Good luck!

[groovindj]

It's actually taken from the end of a tune called Change The Beat by Fab 5 Freddy in 1982.

[djraff88]

how do you get that sound that you are scratching with ?

[inspiredbyshikari]

Amazing video, can anyone pleeeaseee tell me the name of the tracks please ? thanks x

[Jmeg333]

Thanks for your positive feedback.

Track playing in the background: Audiojack - Schizophonic

Hope this helps?

J-Me*

[festaboy21]

Ouch that poor pitch fader......Good stuff though :)

[brentduncan18]

not scratching, BUT kinda cool!

[mgband]

hmm... dunno if this can be really called scratching... It is a cool effect and all, and I will probably practice and add this to my toolbox, but I would never say, "I mastered all the scratch patterns" when really I am just pressing the cue button, which anybody can do.

Don't know, it is ok, don't want to be too critical.

[Jmeg333]

Have a watch of the video again, I am crab/flare scratching without effects and just because I'm using a CDJ with a sample on the CD, doesn't mean its not a scratch? The pitch is acting as the scratch hand imitating the movement of the record (forwards & backwards)

[spacecowboy22]

hello? didnt you listen to him saying 14 years of scratching? didnt see any scratch cdj's 14 years ago did you?

[wakeyskate]

blatantly said since he was 14 and he didnt say scratching on a cdj im guessing he meant in general, eg- vinyl?

[Jmeg333]

Correct, i clearly said "I have been scratching since I was 14" I never mentioned been scratching on the CDJ for 14 years"

Watch, learn & listen!!!

Would just like to say, BIG THANKS! to all of you who appreciate this video and support my techniques!

More video's coming soon...

[spacecowboy22]

hehe :) its a good vid :) i like it when you you slip off into the zone at 11.29 LOL G-O-N-E hahaha i do that all the time :) seize the moment!

[dh140770]

@Jmeg333

Well i thought it was cool and it kind of works on my Denon HD2500 too. Better if you can tap and maintain the BPM though.

I've got a night on some CDJs soon (i'm normally a mobile DJ) so I am going to give this a go

Cheers for the vid.

[DJStereoTypical]

Da boiz got skilllzzz lol

[ETDHanalei]

does anyone know the names of the tracks? thanks!

[nonstoptagin88]

wow i love the scratch fx you got there... i must learn this :-)

[bridoboy]

i am sure the word scratch is makeing the jog wheel move and u dont in this vid , and its a efx u are useing not a realy scratch ,

[darkwolph]

@bridoboy I think the concept of what he's doing is the ability to change the pitch and rate of the loop giving it more of a effect or depth

[InnesIroncore]

the mullet, WHY? XD

[chewbaccarules]

@InnesIroncore LOL THAT LOOKS REDICULOUS

[C0rpsezilla]

Sick scratching, and an even sicker mullet.

[batinburg]

Sorry nothing constructive to say ;)

MULLLLLET!! lmao

[RedRavenRuler]

am i trippin or does he have a mullet? nice scrathin!

[K1LLGANNON]

I can't figure out where to ask this but is it a good idea to dj outdoors when it's cold outside? I mean it probably wont be colder than 40 degrees F. What is the lowest possible operating temperature of a Stanton C.324?

[stevenmcnair1897]

hahahah! are you serious?

[K1LLGANNON]

Yes I am. I've never dj'ed in the cold. I wasn't sure if I should be worried about the temperature affecting my equipment.

[rastamahn]

Electronically speaking, there's no reason it shouldn't be able to handle it. Even low spec parts can handle well below freezing. The problem comes not so much from cold as it does moisture and condensation when you move it back inside again... Let it dry before turning it on.

If you look at the electromechanical aspect of it, the motor and whatnot will have a problem at temperatures around -40. But at that point, I'd be more worried about the CDs shattering and your fingers freezing to bits.

[stuarthonda1]

yeh man james zabiela he,s the dogs

[DJOmega80]

Button Mashing at it's finest.

[djmisplacedmarblesTV]

is he going to use the techs ? love to see that bet he is brilliant if hes been at it since 14, fair play

thumb me down , I just cannee stand cdj's .. it takes skill yes, no doubt, at all... it's just a little less... human somehow.

thats what I can't stand I love the emotion felt from decks, guitars drums and all that , ...more raw I guess ?

[danielgreat]

respectt :D

[danxl5]

Man I want that shirt!

[ljmmobilediscos]

[0Daeman]

awesome scratching, but who scratches on electro tracks? He should do these on hip-hop tracks

[ellaskins]

scratching should be on what ever music you like..... not just hip hop.

j

[Josgrobo]

a good scratcher can do it on every style of music

wish i could lol.

but here i see him just using an scratching sound

[dapz400]

@0Daeman check out james zabiela...

[ramzevans]

it doesn't hurt to have an open mind.
