street Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 if theres a little vocal line close to the cue point ill scratch for a bit with the volume at about 3/4s if it sounds good, but its so hard to do on 350s coz the platter is so small. I found using my middle finger and ring finger to be the easiest but you gotta find the right position. I dont really know many combos though so I just try and scratch patterns I play on drums.

eggssell Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 can you change the response of cdj platters?i see some scratchers (not battlers) using just the black part of the vinyl just after the label because it has no grooves and is nice and sticky (i use that part for spinning back to cue). and that area is smaller than cdj platters! pretty much using index and middle finger only. but yeah maybe its a different response time. or maybe i have no idea how cdjs work he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyB Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 yeah you can sratch fine on cdj's man, i dig the 1000's the imitation of letting the record go is sick, 400's a pretty jumpy, ive been playing around with a little bit of scratching lately, will do a little something of what i got (EXTREMELY basic and fairly out of sync, buy you get the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah I use CDJs to scratch, I'm no turntablist but all the tips, tears, transforms come across ok. it's cdj1000 MKIII that have the platter adjust. MK II dont but i think are better built without it.best thing about scratching on cdjs is the little clock technique display that shows exactly where you are on each rotation. SO many of the other "touch sensitive" jog wheels do not respect how important clock technique is to any tight cutting.Gandy: do you use traktor? I'm sure that shipped with a selection of dj tool sounds somewhere in it's library?Personally I just used ableton to record my fav scratch vinyl, then i edited out any i didnt like. My real favs I edited into short one off samples but i also left a few so they play through several. I put the whole selection of mini edits into a playlist on the favourites bar and then can drop a stab, beat or short vox comment whenever I want without searching them out or having to set cues.
