Week 13: 1F2B Tear Combo

Scratch Overview

This first tear combo will set you off on creating your own. The goal is to achieve a faderless OG flair by making 1 record movement forward and two, short, record movements back. Creates 3 notes or triplets. Can also be reversed to 2 Forward, 1 Back for a different lick in the 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.
