Scratch Overview

This cut always impresses people, even though it is not too difficult once you’ve got it down. Try to tense your arm muscles so hard that your arm shakes; almost imagine yourself shivering. The goal is to achieve a very fast baby/rub, almost vibrating, scratch effect.

Scratch Notations: The BOTTOM of the graph (where the blue line begins) is the start of the scratch sample. The TOP of the graph (where the blue line peaks) is the end of the scratch sample. PUSH the record FORWARD from BOTTOM to TOP and PULL the record BACK from TOP to BOTTOM. The distance from LEFT to RIGHT of the graph is the speed of how fast you move the record.
