3 years ago I first saw this tutorial. I used to think how does he do it so fast at the end. Now I am able to do it. It's amazing how your body just gets quicker and sharper naturally. Little bits of pratice every day 30 mins that all. Does not need to have 4 hours sessions. I wish I had the time bit just a little bit every day. Anyone can manage this over time
i agree , peace barry
You know the first video thats about 40 seconds long .do you know that beat he used or similar style
I feel like that beat is what gives it that unique sound because I can do the 2 clicks but the don't have that ummf
I just started. Getting the mechanicss of it.
The thing that helped my two clicks the most was using my phone to take slow motion video of my fader hand... It showed how I really wasn't connecting that second click because I was rushing to get the fader back open. Starting slow and getting that muscle memory built into my fader hand really was the key...
Great tip thanks
That's a great strategy.. I just may give that a try.. My issue is a little similar: after a few bars I start cutting the fader off too quickly and missing the beginning of the sample. My fader hand wants to revert back to being in time with the record hand. I find that I have to slow down and go with the feel of the scratch.. Gotta keep at it!! Thanks for the tip, my friend..
Nice one! I keep having a go but I’m struggling with this. Gonna give it a try.
@@Sheepblagger Don't give up! It took me a while to get the two click down right but persistence overcomes resistance! 👍🏾
@@DocHalliday cheers mate. I’m determined to work it out!
"don' worry aobut this fast, double tempo style you hear a lot" - great advice!!! it can really discourage you and break you down for a long time. even for years...
Anyway tempo comes with time. I started Djing 12 years ago, scratching 10 years ago. Even though I have mastered many scratching techniques (i am not focused on scratching), i still see very little improvements over the years simply from using these skills regularly in the club and so on. So don't worry, it takes time but if you practice regularly you will succeed, it's just a matter of time.
Damn, Babu is so well spoken. He needs to do a Ted Talk or something
Wen Babu Ted talk?
This scratch is kinda hard to get into at first because it works against your muscle memory and what you're conditioned to. It's so important to start slow and keep at it every day.
to me (scratching in hamster style), it was quite easy to learn. The most difficult thing is to make it sound really good and natural, especially in routines
I always had trouble with this scratch and speed, I could never clearly get the 2 clicks when I tried to go faster, until I really listened to what Babu said getting to the very top of the Ahh sound and then also the tail end. Now i finally got it down... Thanks D-Styles & Babu ✌Out
D-styles is amazing live and here on CZcams years ago I had a chance to meet him and Qbert they are so down to earth and you can have a normal conversation no ego this guy has serious skills however I’d love to hear him as a wedding DJ. That would be sick!
Should've started watching these before the pandemic! Thanks!!!
This is Wow man. I can Flare scratch but sometimes lose my grip at what I’m doing. I’m no longer an avid Dj but this will get me back to practicing the basic flares on up!
I have S9 mixer envy.
Though I sold two RP-8000 MK1s somewhat recently.
Nice to see them put to better use!
Than collecting dust when I was more obtuse.
Best description and explanation I've heard yet!
wih-tit-toh wih-tih-tah
keelo byte 😂😂 precisely
this is one of my favorite comments of all time
You guys explain this perfect, thanx a bunch for that man, seriously....👍🙏 I went from only chirp flare combo, to now chirp 2-Click Flare Combo.... But I had been having a hard time really capturing the motions exactly, with the hand control & fingers movement on the double click flare, but after this video, its almost funny that I was making it as hard as I thought it was for some reason... Lol... I had been coming at it totally wrong, & you guys made it crystal clear, & to the point, but not to fast... And it was really helpful, thank you DJ Babu, & DJ D-Styles, Wicked Respex, Big Upz, & Mad Love to the Skratch DJs, & all the devoted & passionate Skratch DJs worldwide, y'all are appreciated, & have been amazing help while I learn & practice my kuts, & skratches, making it more fun for me......🔥💯👍🙏🎶🌎
He makes it look so easy....great video please do a few more 👍
Top tutorial guys last minute or so very useful and something I will focus on first 👍
Its taken me about one year to get this scratch at all speeds. Many ups and downs! To all new scratch djs just keep at it. Every day if you can. You will get there. Close tap open x 2.000.00 times lol!
Excellent 👊
excellent explaining. Thank you!
True Masters .
Im still learning this scratch @ faster tempo and it’s quite hard to make it clean cuts. Thanks for the tutorial my shifus 🙏
this is the best and the most accurate explication ever :))
especially for people that don't do the weird ass hamster thingy....
God damn hard to believe that was all 2 click flares. having so much trouble getting to go faster, great vid
Thank you both! I finally understand. I was doing one clicks thinking they were orbitz (hearing people say it's the same as two click flare). So I was like WTH is a one click flare? I didn't get it was one click forwards, one click backwards. two clicks forward, two clicks backwards (orbitz) etc. So happy. Can die happy now lol
Thank you so much, gettn better at this skratch, & also practicing Boomerangs, as well, y'all are so appreciated, Respex, Big Upz, & Mad Love to all the devoted, dedicated, & passionate Skratch DJ's worldwide.... 🔥💯👍💪🙏🎵🎶🌎
Nice!
thank you,. i will try that :)
Holy shit, I just about pulled this off today!
Super tutorial to approach 2 click flare scratch. Beat Junkies are legends. I got everything exercising and focusing on your final advice and I reached the target. Now I feel comfortable. Do U have some tips to go double time ? Thanks. greetings fro Italy
The hardest part is getting the starting open and ending open right. My natural instinct is to have it closed.
Same...
Try Hamster
This messed me up for 23 years until I realized, I could treat the open fader motion similar to a chirp. Once I did that, I started to get it.
@@priyonjoni yep. basically what helped me is to break all those flares and other crazier scratches into basic ones, like the 2 click flare into (what i call it) half chirp, stab, half slice / half chirp, stab, half slice. sounds complicated but once you figure that out, it's pratice and muscle memory.
or for example, boomerang scratch: slice, "stab" ,slice "stab".
i don't really focus too much onto my record hand when it comes to flare scratches cause as we all know, it's more or less a baby scratch cut into pieces with the help of the fader.
Fresh TTM notation!!!
Thanks
need more of these vids as u can see the views
Great
You guys are great with these tutorial vids. Very informative and your video angles definitely show what you guys are teaching. Props.
A continuous overhead shot from super slow to super fast would be really helpful here.
Practice tonight
Dammit it sucks when he goes faster or double time the camera is off his record hand
Hey guys, here’s a thought for you.
Anytime a DJ is Scratching a certain sound effect..., think about it, the effect is only so long. In this case 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock. It’s not 12 to 6, then 10 to 3.
My point is, you have to watch the fader hand 80% more than the scratch hand.
Even without using the fader, the sound effect is again, ONLY SO LONG.
Once you got that thought locked in, then your concentration on the fader hand will grow immensely more as you watch other DJ’s Scratch.
And watch this video again at the 2:30-ish time. Babu, cuts the sound the first sound, then drags the record to a stop, with the 2 taps.
Listen to the sound effect as he goes forward. 😂 Wap. Woe, Woe, (and woe, woe, is the double tap). Thumb, Finger, Finger. (Going Forward)
And in the Reverse, it’s Finger, Finger, Thumb. Or Woe, Woe, Wap. 😂
That’s the key to this scratch. Lol 😂 again, recreate the sound effect with your mouth. (sing along as he does it.)
yea, i was thinkin the same thing. both times.
Énorme .je que j apprécié dans le scratch c et comme le football sa reste une langue universelle.merci pour c et tuto
@3:50 dave was like WTF do you mean?
Hey there, I can do the first three scratches, but not the last one, the gitty-up-sounding-poly-rhythm what-not. BUT i just got an s11 and have been practicing like crazy and accidentally isolated that sound with index finger and middle finger the other night. Is this cheating? It's pretty much the exact same sound. Definitely want to figure it out without that double-click with the two fingers though.
how long it take you to learn the cllick flare
Boom
@ 2:04 that became alive. YO BABU, I just wanted to say that I think its cool that you are involving yourself recently in the tutorial side of things. We need more left handed og'z to put in their 2 cents. A long time ago we met at the old california hotel at aloha kitchen. Stay humble baby and keep practicing and I wanna see you bust out some new style that has never been heard before. haha, PEACE!
p.s. I actually like the right side now. It just felt more natural. right side but still hamster. I think you might wanna try the right.
Galing!
How much does a scratch console cost? I want one in the future
Hey, quick, question, y'all got me wondering about this now. Does it matter wether im using the needle as my 12 O'clock marker/cue, or wether im using the 12 O'Clock position, as the marker/cue on samples when trying to pursue this skratch successfully?? Thanx man... Just curious, cause im wondering if theirs more room for my hand motion to pull it off better, if I switch from the needle as my marker, to the 12-O'Clock position as my marker, or if it really doesn't matter, & I should just stick to what I'm use to, wich is the needle as my marker? Lol... Just wondering, is all, thanx friend.... 🔥💯👍🙏🎶🌎
Every time I tried it I was so used doing the chirp i keep chirping it. But dope vid man!!!!!
same here and don't try to learn 1 click first. i can do one clicks now but doing the 2 clicks just won't work for me
@@GabREAL1983 I noticed that too.... Have you made any progress? Open fader scratches are really making me put in extra work!!
Then learn the two click chirp first get that nailed
Hmmm...I was starting with the fader closed, I'm gonna try with the fader open. Maybe that's why I've been having issues.
Who taught you guys how to learn this scratch back in the early days? Great tutorial!
I think it was DJ Disc
Apparentlydj disc got Qbert into skratching
It was amazingly a guy called DJ FLARE.
Anyone got the name of the beat?
Open fader scratches are always tough to learn
2:05 mark.... I'm trying to reach this stage
Can anyone slide me a place to download this type of scratch record?
@TheKizilg1 preciate that!
Dude how???? It’s so difficult yet looks easy
the scratch that i will never be able to do haha
Keep practicing, you'll get it.
Remember when DJ Qbert invented the crab cut.
I remember when he invented the Crepe scratch, dunno about crab lol.
He renamed it crab.
@@Ultrarmx Somebody else had coined crab, he never did.
Vai Look it up bro. He’s on video saying it.
@@Ultrarmx Yeah I know which one you're talking about, I guess I'm misremembering it. I thought he said that people started calling it that so just went with it lol.
I can't this down for the life of me lol
i know, they never show how to do or even count the fast part, its like just a showoff part
yo all tuts on advanced scratches never tell you the behind the scenes work involved to achieve the fast yielding patterns , it's not just what everyone said's practice rest practice and repeat for months/years drink water, that is without saying the obvious mad raw practice,but its more conditioning the muscles in the forearms, that muscle on top and the one under, you have to get them muscles absolutely nugged up, along with the fleshy muscle that sits in between the thumb and index finger, the grip master is key for getting that nug in the thumb muscle conditioned pinching that over and over, and for forearms, a round stick with hole drilled out in middle, attach a rope or plastic string 3 ft long and attach a decent heavy weight on bottom end, the trick is to stand up straight but in a low stance in legs , with arms out straight, shoulder blades squeezed in, roll up the rope with wrists, up ways/ downs way, the key is to feel arm pump, introduce this to daily routines, try and push through the fatigue do as much has desired but the more the better, gotta keep up with doing bicep reps in between to keep everything balanced or else 3 months doing them rope arm pumps your arms will grow larger than your biceps also should be common sense but because you are making your wrists work overtime its important to do daily wrist stretches before and after each sesh, it's no joke it's all about the velocity that can explode into the fader from having strong ass chest/arm/wrist/thumb/finger-muscles, maybe it's just one way but have found it works for me, yoga, shadow boxing, swinging a bo staff, push ups just general care for the body the more relaxed your body is the more able to perform - it is the goods to making the body explode with speed, that's my 5 cents if anyone takes it as help
Ats some conversation
Iv been praticeing this skratch for 3 months on and off. And it just sounds sloppy! I know why now. Iv started copying D's hand movements. Really trying to transform that that second sound forward. Iv been leaning my pointing finger and not moving the fader as sharp. So starting all over again. Stating to feel better and sound sharper. Just loving learning all these scratches. Scrating is so underrated and should be more mainstream. Plus just sounds so fucking sick in a pro's hands. D-styles .Q the list of fucking wicked scraters go's on......
It would help newbies if you’d show the record movement when you speed it up. Viewing the xfader is pretty pointless if you don’t know what record movement used to produce the sound.
DJ 7 The movement is forward two clicks and backwards two clicks. That’s all there is. The only difference is the faster the fader movement the shorter the distance of the record movement forward and back.
record movement is basically a baby scratch. imagine the ahh sound as a bread and the fader like a knife. you cut that bread with 2 cuts into 3 slices. with 4 cuts, it's 6 slices, hence the 6 sounds you hear when doing a 2 click flare.
Feel like im using too much arm movement, anyone else feel it in their arms?
That 2-click variation at 2:05 and 2:55..!?!?!?! How?
That's just a timing thing (he's double-timing the scratch but also keeping the clicks consistent). Some people call the point where you change from moving the record forward to moving it backward the "ghost click". The "ghost click" is at the peak of the scratch where you end the forward record motion and change to moving it backwards. It's called a "ghost click" because even though you aren't clicking the fader at that point, it SOUNDS like a click (because the record changes direction.) So, if you space your real fader clicks evenly with the ghost click, then you'll get 3 evenly placed sounds going forward and 3 evenly placed sounds going backward. The scratch will sound diced up like that because everything is in equal parts. Then when you do that over and over you'll get a "rolling" sound where the dicing effect will last as long as you hold that pattern.
@@JamBurglar JB you're right about the clicks but the record movement isn't double time, it's 'overtimed' or poly/cross-rhythm or whatever the term is, making the triplets become sixteenths. Chile does it with a lot of his combos. So the first sound of the next three becomes the fourth etc. So instead of going 123/123/123/123, it goes 1231/2312/3123 etc. There's a video on my channel I put up ages ago where I try to show it. I'm really bad with music terminology sorry.
@@broke.1 Dope break down. I always called that "holding it down 'till it comes back around". Haha.
3 up 3 back 3 click no???
One silly question: doesn't it sound just like a 3 click transformer? No intention of being blasphemous...
Gustavo Calani almost. At the beginning of a transform, the fader is closed, so you don’t hear the signature “flare” sound as you pull the sound away, while a transform the volume is increased at the first click. It’s something that you can’t hear very distinctly if it’s not very loud
Also with the 2 click flare, you get 3 sounds from only 2 clicks. With the 3 click transformer, you only get 3 sounds with 3 clicks. Therefore, the 2 click flare will allow you to get more sounds with less motion.
Thought that was 3 click
😢😭😭😢😭😢😭 impossible subtitles, i'm french🇫🇷
Au vol, A poil.
I don't think that's 2 clicks, looks like 3.
C'mon man...
yea i do my 2 click flare a tad diffrent but its 2 clicks its the open fader first click that you see ... your record had movment makes the diffrence
