tramonte Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I think your better off just to continue practicing and attempting new things, see if something works or doesn't work...Most of the courses are just to get you started imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I dont know if I would bother with lessons.I honestly think your better off finding someone who does mix well and mix with them.I used to go record shopping with mates and my bro and then all head back to my place and go nuts on the decks.people have different techniques etc but you can always 'Steel With Pride' How long you been mixing? What stage are you at? Can you beatmix etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubby Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 qbert did some good dvd's, he shows a sratch, then pauses for you to try it, then he does it again and so on.not sure what it cost but seemed an ok place to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramonte Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've got that dvd,It's pretty good, but personally I've stopped scratching for a bit to try to improve my mixing, and attempt scratching at a later time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
