Week 26: Dicing

Scratch Overview

Dicing is basically tearing your transforms. Every time a cut is made with the crossfader you also pause the record. As soon as the cut comes back in you continue. There’s not a set pattern with this scratch, but practicing stopping the record as you make a cut will help you prepare for more advanced techniques.

Center Fader Position: Closed-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.
