Hey yall, I'm new new newbie, and I always thought Djing is cool, but I had no one to learn from nor look up to, but I bought a 2 turntables and mixers so I could get it going as a Dj, and I also bought 2 LPs (both rap single albums) and I tried to scratching, but the scrating doesn't work very well, the voices and subsounds of the songs kept making scratching weird, so what record do you guys use for basic scratching and what are some easy moves that I could learn as a newbie?

When I started scratching about 3 months ago. I started off scratching with only vocal samples or if in a song I could find a place where de dude or lady only speaks wid none in de back.

You can scratch on anything. Only diff sounds will come. Its upto you make it sound interesting.

Hope this helps

Cheers

this is very true but is really has to do of how fast or slow the scratch is along the control of you hand movements on the turntable.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments, I guess it was my hand that was making the wrong sounds, I will see if I can spin the record more smothly and properly, by the way, I connected my mixer into my computer, I got a RCA cable adaptor and connected into my sound card input, the quality is so so, but I could do scrating with mp3s(play mp3 songs and scratch at the sametime) and edit it, and of course burn it into CD and listen to it in the car and stuff. Any of you guys doing stuffs like I do, hollar at the forum.
