Mouse Scratching

Mon 19 Dec 05 @ 11:05 am

ok seems like apparently i'm the goto guy for mouse scratching now... lol

Here is what i do...

find you a good sample to scratch, like an accapella or "aaahhhhh sample or that was fresh" etc.

put a nice simple beat on one deck for starters. Load the track your gonna scratch on other deck. set up keyboard shortcut for crossfader value = 2048 and click the temporary checkbox. now set your crossfader curve to full

then start playing your beat and put crossfader all the way to the side that the beat is playing on.

now click on record and drag too scratch, use the keyboard shortcut you made to center the crossfader, so you will only hear the scratching when the button is pressed. basically you can cut in and out by tapping on the keyboard button...

the actually scratching just takes lots of practice.

also i setup a shortcut to drop the level fader of the beat deck to zero on temporary as well so i can drop the beat out during a scratch and then bring it back...


practice practice practice

upload them then let me listen i will do what i can to help out...
