hi man,is it essential to use butter rugs slipmats. I am not brilliant but ok at scratching and was wondering if them slip mats would improve my technique.thanks

[HecticUK]

@jaydaring1 well they certainly do help, not essential, but trust it will help the scratch movement on the record hand

my xfader has 3 different settings for volume control its a pioneer djm 800 which of those fader settings would be optimal for scracthing? ive played around w/all 3 and my scracthing always sounds like shit..i know its me but should i use the one where the volume peaks in the center or one of the other 2?

[HecticUK]

@youngn420 well for me as explained in another vid, if you have an adjustable cross fader, set it to a tight setting, so as soon as the fader is opened 1mm you hear the sound, this allows quick on and offs using the cross fader.

@TheSuperBlackMan Turntables "went out of style" ?! - says who? MTV? DJ Hero? ;)

All the Dj's i know - at least the skilled ones - use classic turntables (even the kindergarten mixing (no scratching) electro dudes).

All the others, who don't (want to) practice a lot to gain skills (not the "button-pressing"-FX- style of skills) use mainly digital equipment.

"Some" still prefer practice>skills - over reading the manual + imo vinyl is just sexy, compared to a CD or mp3.

What's the name of the vinyl that you use to scratch, I see That a lots of dj's use the same vinyl.

[TheSuperBlackMan]

No disrespect intended or anything like that, but what is with the vinyl records? I mean, who uses turntables anymore? I thought those went out of style years ago. I'm a DJ myself and so are many of my friends, and I don't know anyone who plays on those things. All the DJ's I know either use CD's or play MP3's. The scratching sounded good though.

Yo dat aint no combo scratch where I come from, homeboy. A combo scratch is where u start wit a backwards crabwalk wit the fader lefted high and the treble on twist. Den u hitt it hard like BAM! on em while you sneak a cripplin skin sneezer through with a 130 bpm break on tilt. Dat my friend is a combo!!! Recognize muthafucka!! Nice vids tho and dats realzies.

@jaydaring1 its not essential....but it will make you be able to move the record backwards and forwards quicker...
