well, i ordered them at least, couple of numarks and a decent mixer, cause ive been wanting to try this shit out for a while now
my boy at school is a DJ and pretty good at scratching so hes' gonna teach me some shit, anyone else have any idea where to look on the net or anywhere just for tips or tricks or anything related to turntables? i love learning new stuff
plus theres a sick vinyl store near my school, so that should help

to kill it on the dance floor you have to practice every day...that goes for spinning too.

yea i learn how to do them this summer, tj taught me, its really easy to do but its really hard to figure out like where the beats are and what sounds good and what not


And it makes me see, every puff that I breathe, potent herbs and leaves could ease the world . . .

It took a friend of mine almost a year to become good enough to spin at some bigger clubs and raves. It all comes down to how much you practice.

if you ever actually plan on playing in a club sell your numarks and get technics 1200s because the only tables you'll be able to spin on will be your own, and 1200s are what 99% of places use.

but practice a lot (obviously) and record yourself spinning, and listen to it to see where you are on/off beat.

for beat matching it's easiest to start with two of the same record (or two similar records) and just worry about getting the beats together, not about the timing

for scratching just mess around and listen to how other people scratch. the easiest scratch to copy (it's sampled on like 100 different scratch records) is the one from beastie boys ''watcha want''

good luck
