Week 19: Fade

Scratch Overview

The fade scratch can be great for intros/outros as well as adding space/variation between faster more complicated techniques. While doing babies/rubs, slowly move the channel/volume fader down and then back up again, fading the scratch in and out. Try consistent babies/rubs at first but then also try fading any scratch like lasers, tears, scribbles, drags, etc.

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.
