[mrwilson]

Some Scratching over a Sou:r tune.

@Corea you said you wanted someone to post up some DnB scratching.

here u go mate.

:beer:

[mrwilson]

Ahh it seems to work.

but it took me a while to stream. Let me know if it takes too long .I'll try and make the file smaller.:guitar:

[corea]

Nice one mate! :beer: :slayer:

Here it goes... I like the flow around around 0.33, nice clean work with both cutting and record moving... I can hear an occasional crab, spicy. I like the fact that you don't abuse them (maybe cause they're tuff to get down :) I still can't crab in a controlled way). I like the part around 4.30 when you enter with the high violin and while cutting you try to follow the melody by fiddling with the pitch (are you in normal or battle position?). Nice one, I like that, it's not only about crazy crossfader work but also about musicality and flow.

All summed, good clean scratching, and no abuse of any kind. I'll try to get a routine going as soon as my 06 arrives... and post something up!

ps. what mixer you rockin there? and tt's and needles? 44-7?

[mrwilson]

the decks are in "battle mode" . I didn't know it was called that.

They're turned 90 degrees anti clockwise. It's good for getting the Neddles out of the way, so you don't knock them, and the buttons are close to the mixer.

I was trying hard not to do too much, it's always the danger of going spastic and it just goes all wank.

i was using a Gemini UMX-7 £150. Does the job at a good price.

I know, it's easy to go wacko and lose the groove out of sight. I'm thinkin, maybe we can throw a little online battle, just for fun. Somebody prepares a dnb beat to scratch over, and everybody does posts his file with scratching somewhere... :afro:

[mrwilson]

good idea

i'll get a beat on.. you do some. I'll download it if possible, and then do some.

Oh man, we have a dmc-er... I'm not up to that, but I'll sure break my ass tryin to get down something at least a little convincing :hatpimp:

Anywayz, I'll embrace the sequencer for now and study a beat... :hmm: :mask:

Me and Rasp have just been having a little practice.

They're a bit rough and ready - and there's plenty of abuse :clap:

Anyway - back to the hip hop...

I'll give my best. I sold my Stanton though, have to wait a few days until my new 06 arrives! I worked on some beats, I'll post something soon... :beer:

Props to Rasp - that's the first time he's tried scratching to D&B ever!
