Week 10: Meltdown/Motor Off
Scratch Overview
These can be great finishers to a routine or set of scratches. Scratch immediately after turning the power off to the platter, without using the start/stop button. Creates a “slowing down” effect. Can also be done by putting increasingly harder pressure against the platter until it stops.
Center Fader Position: Open
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.
