ericuk Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Do you do both techniques? It just occurred to me that I should be practicing the opposite of these techniques... tearing the back pull. Mind.... blown.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I mainly do the first one but also do a variation alternating between my thumb to tear forward and using my index fader to tear backward on the pull back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest It'sPhilFromThursdays Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 One time when i was mucking about in Rye i managed to do a thing on the right where i was just grazing the record on the forward and backward thumb movement (like some crazy, fleshy pendulum) but just moving my hand in one direction and it was getting crazy, clean fader like clicks for each flick fwd and on the back. It was lush. Then i could never do it again. C'est la vie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 witchcraft! haha would like a video if you can mang ^ I do a lazer type pattern in this video with it at 0:22 with two clicks over the top, but you can you do the two note tears pattern instead of course I'll try to do a breakdown vid for you though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broke Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Jon how do you cope with such a low set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Quick tip for any left handers, you can also use your knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopez Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That's a nasty cut Eric, I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broke Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So does it just not work for the left then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericuk Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I found that on the right deck, mechanically speaking, the thumb is in a strong position to flick the record forward. It can also press down acting against the fingers to stop the record, but if I try to use my thumb to flick the record back - it can't! Not naturally anyway. My left hand however is the total opposite. Because of the positioning on the record, my left thumb can flick the record backwards quite happily but not forward. I'm sure there's a work around for this, quite possibly just practice, but it may be neccesary to accept that hand positioning due to left/right deck will impact what we can do and how. To prove my theory, if anyone cuts on the left deck and happens to have a reverse sample and reverse button, try cutting in the opposite direction with your hand at 3 o'clock instead of 9 and the thumb will be in a better position to do the aforementioned flappy thumb thing. What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 i can kind of do an orbit by flicking the record on the backwards movement with my index finger (bitten off Qbert) and I figured a way of using my thumb to flick the record on the forward movement. looks kinda mental like my hands trying to breakdance badly, but it sounds cool if you nail it. I'm sure someones done it before me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Burglar Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 ... return of the mack is a solid choice of beat Ha! that was the first thing that came to my mind when I turned this on. Love that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest It'sPhilFromThursdays Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 #she liiied too meeee# Off to jail Morrison! And that was that. (a quick summation of his career) i can kind of do an orbit by flicking the record on the backwards movement with my index finger (bitten off Qbert) and I figured a way of using my thumb to flick the record on the forward movement. looks kinda mental like my hands trying to breakdance badly, but it sounds cool if you nail it. I'm sure someones done it before me anyway I saw it, i saw it! And have seen it! And thought about when reading the O.P.! FYI you can do this easily pon the leff, i was trying it earlier to see if i wasn't mind lying to myself that i could do it, but then i'm leff handed so it's easier for me. Was copying Sy and mucking about with the finger flick on the way back, but wasn't doing as well as Sy, natch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 so I won't comment on the scratching, because its just sick, but the fact that I had to stare a febreeze and a green pen had me totally distracted because I then tried to make out, what else I could spot IN THAT FUCKING MESS! Clean up your room, son! Sick stuff guys. Remember trying to learn how to do this with my left...weak...sucker...hand. I think honestly my left is just pretty good for wanking. Oh and tying surgical sutures, that my left can do too, but otherwise its a pretty lame limb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
