hey im new to tha board. i just recieved my cdi 300 and ive been trying to learn how to scratch well. it seems impossible, is it because im new to it, or maybe its the turntable ?

What are you having problems with? I have the pro scratch 2's but I know when I first started using them they took some time to get used to. Give your self a couple weeks with them. Also remember they aren't the cdi 500 and that may be the scratching effect you were looking for

everytime i try to scratch, it just sounds like senseless scratching. what kind of sounds should i be scratching ?

Dj Skillz has two cd's for scratching and I use them all the time. It has some of the poplular sounds you hear in old school stuff. You have to get a hold of Skilz or go to ERG Music and get them.

I would recommend the CDI 500's over the 300's for scratching.

I have two 300's and their fine I used to have the viyl tables from T$^&^*s and they were naturally better but it's decent. It also helps to have a good mixer with good effects so that they work with the decks to bring you the best quality mixes and scratches.
