Hey what’s up visitor! So I’ve still been djing all this time and I’m getting better and better at scratching. It’s a lot of fun and a very cool hobby. I like it a lot. Music moves me deeply and I love the drum. Scratching is like learning to play guitar or piano. You manipulate the pitch of the sound sample to make different sounds and vibrations of the tone. The more intricately and uniquely you can do that, the better it sounds.
I recently picked up some new slipmats. I bought some beatjunkies mats off someone online. They are great slipmats and work very well. I like them even better than my Dr. Suzuki Skratch mats. They work very well on their own and don’t need a slip sheet. Another thing I wanted to mention is that I’m noticing I seem to “scratch better” when using the Innofader fader cap as opposed to a fader cap I bought online. They are both plastic, but the size and feel of the Innofader cap feels better and makes me want to scratch as opposed to the other one which is kind of bleh. Maybe that’s me being weird or superstitious like a athlete with some weird pre-game ritual or a certain sock he’ll only wear when playing.
We’re still in the throws of a pandemic but hopefully we are on the tail end of it. Whatever “they” were testing and getting data on.. hopefully it’s over and we can get back to some normalcy. I don’t agree with taking a vaccine and wish everyone who does the best. My mother-in-law took it but she’s in her 90s. I pray she’ll be ok and everyone else who decided to trust the powers that be and take it. I don’t trust them as much given their track record, so I’m taking a wait and see approach. Best of luck to you reader and stay sane and safe!
