After much time spent learning techniques and developing her flow (which wasn’t always easy), she now loves to break things down for anyone that might be struggling with the art. Emma founded Studio Scratches in 2008 and is dedicated to assisting you become excellent at the art of scratching. She has a passion for sharing knowledge and encouraging and inspiring others to achieve their dreams. Episode 1 The Setup In this video you will learn how to setup djay 2 with the optimal settings for scratching with the Reloop Beatpad 2 controller. Watch Video Episode 2 Baby Scratch The baby scratch is usually the first scratch we learn and although it’s relatively simple, it’s the foundation for many other scratch techniques. Watch Video Episode 3 Drops Drops are taking our hand off the record completely and letting the sample play forward, then rewinding it back to the beginning. Watch Video Episode 4 Forward Scratch The forward scratch is the first scratch where we combine using the cross fader at the same time as using our record control hand. Watch Video Episode 5 Reverse Scratch The reverse scratch is the second scratch where we combine using the cross fader at the same time as using our record control hand. It is the complete mirror opposite of the forwards scratch. Watch Video Episode 6 Stab Scratch The main difference between the stab and the forward scratch is that instead of taking our hand off the jogwheel like we do in a forward, we push the jogwheel forward with our hand in a fast movement. Watch Video Episode 7 Military Scratch The military scratch is combination of baby scratches and stabs. It creates a regular, military marching feeling. It is simply a continuous baby scratch with random reverse scratches cut out and sounds like a marching drum pattern. Watch Video Episode 8 Chirp Scratch The chirp is a symmetrical pattern which makes 2 sounds and differs from the other basic scratches because we concentrate on turning the sound OFF rather than cutting it ON. Watch Video Episode 9 Transformer Scratch This scratch takes it’s name from the sound a cartoon transformer makes when it transforms into a different shape. We use the fader to chop up the sound into a rhythmic stuttering effect, cutting the crossfader on and off over the forward and reverse jogwheel movements. Watch Video Episode 10 Flare Scratch The flare scratch is an open fader scratch which uses one click to cut the sample in half, creating two sounds on both the forward and backwards jogwheel movements. It is also known as a 1 click orbit. Watch Video Episode 11 Crab Scratch The crab scratch is a fader hand technique which produces sounds by running your fingers over the fader to cut the sound in sharply. Watch Video Episode 12 Slice Scratch The slice scratch is an important foundation scratch which forms the basis for many combos such as see saws, boomerangs and the autobahn. Watch Video Episode 13 Tear Scratch The tear scratch is a faderless scratch which involves pausing the movement of your jogwheel hand during the forwards and backward movements to create a staggered motion, dividing the sound into two or more parts. Watch Video Episode 14 Dice Scratch The dice scratch or “dicing” builds on the tear scratch by combining it with transform style fader clicks to create a more controlled, sharper sound. Dicing is also sometimes referred to as “Transformed Tears”. Watch Video Episode 15 2 Click Flare The 2 click flare is an open fader scratch which uses the same principle as the one click flare. We use 2 fader clicks to cut the sample into 3 parts, creating 3 sounds on both the forward and reverse jogwheel movements. Watch Video Episode 16 Twiddle Scratch The twiddle scratch is a fader technique rather than an individual scratch. It is simply a 2 finger crab, which uses the middle and index fingers to snap the fader off and on. Watch Video Episode 17 Chirp Flare Scratch The Chirp Flare is one of the first combos we learn. It’s simply a chirp followed by a one click flare.
