Flare Scratch Tutorial by DJ Short-e.

This week, Short-e teaches you how to do the Flare scratch.

The Flare scratch is an open fader scratch. Start with the fader open, release the sample then cut the sound in 2 by closing the fader then opening it again. You can flare on the forwards record movement and the back.

Beat # 8528 used in this clip is available here:

Happy Scratching! :D

  • how is the name of the vinir of the rigth??

  • @rh2arap hi its called SuperSeal

  • I have an annoying habit of closing the fader at each end of a sample so obviously I need more practice, but I was wondering whether it would sound the same if I was to do it like this. Open fader at start of the sample, cut the sample in half, then close the fader again at end of the sample, and do the same again when pulling back. I just can't seem to start with fader on open.

  • @theGanj if it sounds good to you then thats all that matters, it will sound a bit different when you do it the way you suggest but thats ok. I would aim to learn this scratch the way i describe though as it will really open up a world of possibilities and is the basis for other scratches. take your time, slow things down and you will get it. it took me a while!

  • @TheJimmySimpson nah its called hamster or reverse. battle mode is refering to the turntables with the tonearm at the top. the cross fader style isnt any easier or harder, its just a style and preference. it came from when people used to cut with the up faders and also one person hooked up their tables the other way i think.

  • @theimpax certainly. Just practice! start with a slow beat and work your way up. hope that helps! Happy scratching! :D - Short-E
