Week 8: Swipes

Scratch Overview

A two-handed technique that achieves four sounds.  While doing consistent babies, use your other hand to “swipe” across the record in the opposite direction the record is moving. Creates a more rounded/legato “1 click-flair” sound.

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.
