Scratch Overview
Originated by D-Styles, the OG Flare scratch is our first “two click” fader scratch. This fader movement of doing two fast clicks in repetition will be the basis for many scratches to follow. Starting with the fader open, push the record forward and make one click at the end of the sound, just like you would for a chirp. On the back stroke, perform the same movement as a 1 click flare, chopping the sound in half with one click. Makes 3 notes.
Center Fader Position: Open-Closed-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.
