Schnazz Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 The only things I know about DJing comes from watching Jazzy Jeff (and other's) do there thing in clips. One thing has always confused me about watching Jazzy do his magic. I see him seem to perform scratches, but I can't actually hear any scratch. (I saw this most recently in the last posting where it had a link to a video of him) Why is that? I get the part where he's queueing up records, but he actually seems to scratch at points, but the audio doesn't seem to have any scratches...

FrshPrnceCharmng Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 (edited) This is second hand info, but I'm told that the dj is setting up for when he crossfades to that disk. Edited March 1, 2005 by FrshPrnceCharmng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshstecki Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 There are two possibitlies: 1. You don't recognize a scratch cuz the dj is cuttin a beat on point with the other record... 4 example he's scratchin a snare at da same time u hear the snare from the other record or 2. He's listenin 2 the record which u don't hear cuz u can crossfade it the way that just one track is pumpin out his speakers.. he's tryin 2 listen 2 the scratch he's doin in "silence" ova his headphones or he's just "warmin it up" 2 cut into the other track the next moment.. .. it's hard 2 explain, u know, I thought it's magic, too, but it's just skills! peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_Vipa Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 If i get wehat you're saying, he's most likely seting up the second record, to blend it into the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
