Steve Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 This was the hardest yet to vote on IMO. 4 wicked files and all very close in terms of skill level. I'm gonna vote for Symatic, but only just! @Cirkutcision - I can't believe you've only been scratching for 18 months man (or however long it is - I know it's not that long).

ericuk Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 cirkuts video confuses me. The platter looks like its going forward and the record is going backwards. #mindfuck. Backtrack gets my vote for sounding unusual to my ears... in a good way of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airnino Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 good stuff everybody, i also voted for backtrack. i agree that cirkutcision sounds hella nice for just 18 months of practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backtrack gets my vote for sounding unusual to my ears... in a good way of course. I'm using a reverse ahh and fresh and I have the platter spinning counter clockwise so it's like I'm scratching a regular ahh and fresh. Thanks! good stuff everybody, i also voted for backtrack. i agree that cirkutcision sounds hella nice for just 18 months of practice! Thank you!

jimmy penguin Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 backward ahhh on the left means you can scratch like a leftie its a great technique if you wanna change your sound.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfoly Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 What's the difference Jimmy? I don't think I get it but remember people saying that theres some techniques that you can't really do as a righty in the same way HUH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericuk Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I guess it changes the mechanical movements of the hand against the record. On the right deck I can have my hand going left to right for the forward/ backward motion. It's hard to explain but I can see how a reverse sample going backwards on the left deck would feel the same as right deck scratching... But my big hands would probably clip the headshell!

Guest Symatic Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 i sometimes scratch backwards (i have the left hand on the record) and it does feel differrent. i guess the geomettry is different so you get subtle differences in timing. also the way your body is angled to the deck is different which counts for some things. i cant scratch hamster to save my life but i'm sure hamster style opens up certain things you cant do as easily/quickly regular style. same goes both ways probably. muzzell often scratches hamster and seems to do things i find impossible really easily. but then maybe thats just cos he's muzzell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
