alright everyone, I know it's fairly new, but have you found any cool scratching tricks that you would share?

these are a phew I figured out

move the platter back and fourth using the rubber that goes around the outside, make sure tempo lock is not on. This makes a sweet effect, almost like the song is on drugs. I think this is hydroplaning? Anyway, the furhter you spin back and forward, the more profound the effect is.

again, using the rubber, lightly touch the plater on the outside so that when you try to spin it, it will be more stiff. now, "scratch" (and I mean literarily, so that your finger comes on and off the platter) forward, (or backwards on the right side of the platter) Depending how much pressure you use holding the outside is how fast the music will go, this makes a neat scratch-play effect

Well, share your own tricks

oh come on, am I the only one that got did this?

Actually the second thing you mentione is the hydroplane effect, the first effect is from her on out known now and forever as "unknown neat-o effect".

I'll call it "drunking the music"

Mat, your from Ceder Rapids?!?!? I lived in Center Point till I was 8 and moved out to Conneticut and then Minneapolis. Has the scene out there improved at all?
Drew

not really... There's one club, and I think it might have closed :\ And jobs for the mobile DJs are not a lot...

Other than that, it's a little better, it's growing, but it's BORING... that's pretty much it here in the east side of Iowa...

Yea, I always kind of dug Iowa City a little better....it didnt have a big scene but it always seemed a little more alive.

NEW TRICK!!!

well, I was messing around some more, and I started to mess around with the stop and go of the touch wheel.

Set the parameters on skid or scratch to whatever they are so that it stops at the touch of your hand (no slow down). Now, rythmicly tap the wheel extremely fast and extremely lightly. It makes a nice "strobe on music" effect. The trick though is that your fingers have to barely touch the wheel because if you push too hard, it won't give it enough time to start again before you tap it with the other finger. I found that it's best to tap the wheel at 2-4 times the BPM of the original song. And always keep the rythim!

Matpec.. sounds like your enjoying the PS2

yes, yes I am

Anybody else have anymore tricks to share? Keep them coming !
