Week 31: Spair Flare

Scratch Overview

Spair Flare was made famous by DJ Spair. This pattern sounds a lot faster than it really is. The Spair Flare is executed by adding a small baby scratch to the beginning of a 1 Click Flare. The objective is to have a quick and small enough baby before your 1 Click Flare that shouldn’t affect the timing of your flare but create 2 extra notes, 6 in total.

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.
