Understanding the Fundamentals of Turntables

In there ever evolving world of Turntablism and DJing there a misconception or belief of what exactly scratching is. Most new DJ's think they know how to scratch but rather they make a horrible noise with ear piercing sounds. The type of sounds that would cause the dogs in the neighborhood to howl.

For those who don't know what scratching is or how to scratch properly please read carefully. In essence scratching is the movement of a vinyl or LP record back and forth to make a unique beat or sound. This is the fundamental idea that has given birth to Hip-Hop and other genres of music that involve turntables.
Scratching is not moving a record back and forth to make a noise. If you learn how to scratch you can create entire new beats and rhythms from one or two records.

Scratching has a wide variety of ways and techniques to perform different beats and sounds. There are baby scratches, combination scratches and beat juggling. These techniques all require excellent control over turntables and a crossfader. Beat juggling is one of the most advanced "forms" of scratching. Beat juggling is the peak of perfection when it comes to scratching. With scratching you can mix in your next record for a smooth transition. With beat juggling you create a whole new beat and rhythm. In theory beat juggling is creating a new song or sound from one or two records.

So for all those DJ's who think they know how to scratch remember this, there is a difference between thinking you know how to scratch and knowing how to scratch. Knowing how to scratch is an art form. Take lessons, read about the latest tricks and tips. Do something that will make you better.

About the Author

I enjoy music. I'm sure many people do. However, when going to a nightclub or party, I prefer that someone keeps me entertained with music and not noise. Anyone can make noise. DJ's make music.
