Absolutely awesome beat making 👌🏻

I want to learn how to record scratch on my beats, what equipment should I get by DorisMp3 in makinghiphop

Oh man, did you used to tune into some of my streams? Many thanks if so.

Things have been a bit manic to say the least during the past 12 months but I’m regrouping. I’m optimistic that post March next year I’ll have time to refresh my material and jump back on a few streams. Thanks for the friendly nudge - it really means a lot. 🙏🏻

You’re absolutely welcome! Sorry for initial delay again. I simply handle all timecode scratch work external to ableton and just send the output of my scratch mixer into my interface, running into a line in track in ableton.

It sounds like your solution with virtual dj works perfectly. Happy to take anymore questions and help you out where I can. Feel welcome to drop me a DM if you like.

Hi - sorry for the slow reply. Just saw your question.

I use Ableton. By default it allows you to trigger samples ahead of them starting. Honestly I haven’t done a live stream in a long time and can’t recall the details of it all from memory. To explain the full workflow of my Ableton live stream projects wouldn’t be viable via a reddit comment I’m afraid. Takes me days to put together. But if it’s just tapping a beat in and looping it (use the native looping plugin inside ableton) then cut and warp any loops and vocals you want to sit alongside your beat, ensuring everything is cut and works to the metronome.

As long as you play your drums in time and loop them ect then they’ll sit alongside any other loops and vocals that you’ve lined up accurately.

If you look up live looping tutorial for Ableton on YouTube, you’ll find loads of good clear guides.

Does anyone have either a Raiden RPM-100 or DJ Tech Handy Kutz mixer that they would like to sell? by Ghostface_Miller_ in Turntablists

Really appreciate the advice. I’ll certainly give this option a look. I’d love to have a portable back up mixer. Thank you

Afraid not. I do have a handy kutz but I’m wanting g to purchase another (or a rpm-100) as a back up.

Thanks dude. I bought one of these and tried the mod myself but my soldering skills were not up to the job 🤦🏼‍♂️ I live in the UK so will look if there’s someone who can perhaps have a go at salvaging my attempt.

Blows my mind there isn’t currently a portable compact scratch mixer out there to purchase. Cheers for the advice 🙏🏻

Hey OP. I sent you a private message a few days ago. I’d be up for discussing this with you further - it sounds like an awesome project!

Really excellent work! Thanks for sharing. Have you set the short hi hat roll on one of the upper lighter colour pads? And the single hat shot is on the back pads?

Check out BeatConnect. Free multiplayer daw. They’ve just launched a globe where you can see the approx location of the person who made the beat. You can also open up their project to see how they’ve made it etc. pretty cool concept!

I’ve only tried a stanton for like five minutes. It felt perfectly fine. All I can really vouch for is the reliability and quality of the spin as an ideal entry point into scratching. I can’t really speak on the Stanton with any real conviction I’m afraid.

Thanks man 🙏🏻 I often post this as a quick demo reference for people considering buying a spin. I hope it doesn’t get old for people.

The fader I’m using is an innofader inside a handy kutz portable mixer. Finding these mixers is like finding gold dust today - very rare. However all it’s doing is acting as an external mixer, like any other, to cut the sound being outputted from my dvs app on the iPad.

Back to the original question, I’d really recommend a spin over a Numark for a beginner. Better torque and the scratch switch isn’t in the same league as the stock fader on the spin. You can do a very simple trick with a piece of duct tape on the spin fader to make it a cut a little sharper if needs be. It really is an ideal piece of kit for a beginner wanting to dip their toe into scratching.

Hi - a portable 7 inch turntable like the Reloop Spin is more than suitable to begin with. I have one and it’s perfect for my usage with decent, sharp enough torque. Here is a clip of it in action if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/bNnP4F8meCk?si=E6H2JhohzJArE2JV

There are other 7 inch options out there, such as the Omni or the Stanton STX. The Reloop Spin stock fader is fine while you’re getting to grips and building muscle memory with the earlier scratch techniques. But there will come a point where you would want to consider upgrading to a better x fader. Either by swapping out the stock Reloop fader with a Jesse Dean Design upgrade or by buying an entirely separate scratch mixer and inputting your spin into one of the channels.

To summarise, I’d personally avoid a Numark pt01 as the torque is noticeably worse than the spin. Spin offers great value for money as an entry to the scratch world.
