When you're on deck mixing and you hear scratching in a track...

Do you..

 

1. Mime the scratches out of panic?

2. Play it cool. Bob your head like you made them cuts ya self.

3. Try to avoid any cuts in tracks altogether. Because only you are doing the cuts 'round here!

4. Do your own cutting over the scratches.

5. Avoid the song altogether.

6. Quickly stop the track. Apologize to the crowd for the interruption. Play Tom Petty.

 

(I couldnt get the poll to work..)

well right, but if it happened.. and i am sure it has happened to a lot of us.

 

maybe you didnt hit your cue in time.. maybe you didnt know the track.. maybe you took too many shots!

I can honestly say that when I have mixed in a club and scratching occurred on a track, i think i wanted to get out of the track ASAP bc whoever was djing on the track was doing a better job then whatever the shit i was attempting.. haha!

I try to avoid the parts of the songs with other people's scratches in my mixes to not seem like I can do better scratches than I can actually achieve.

 

Although in gigs I will prefer to air scratch during the dope parts of songs :d

Use the full editor function in desktop mode to create a poll J.B.

 

You'll get an option there to manage the poll topic.

what to do after you've "managed" your poll? once i clicked 'finished'.. nothing happened.

Definitely not that one!

 

surely that's DJ G Smooth's job innit ?

 

When is this dude going to resurface?

I was jamming to a hiphop station on pandora the other day and noticed a lot of hip hop choruses have scratches in em.. You cant avoid the hooks, yall!
