Scratch Overview

Stabs are basically faster versions of the forward scratch. Do the same record and crossfader movements you’d do with a forward, except always keep your hand on the record so you are able to push the record faster. Stabs should be short and sharp.

Center Fader Position: Open/Closed

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.
