How to scratch

You can correct his by placing some tape around the sides of the hole to reduce the diameter. Another way to reduce skipping is to increase the pressure of the needle on the record, but by doing so you will increase wear on both the stylus and the record. The most common way to do this is to just move the counter weight on you turntable all the way forward. You can also physically add weight above the needle by way of a coin, but at the cost of even more wear on the equipment. .
             The baby scratch is the easiest to learn because of its simple pattern. The scratch itself comprises of a forward movement followed by a backward movement. This needs to be done is the space of a single beat for it to sound right. You can try reversing the direction so that you start with backward movement and end in a forward movement. You can also try varying the speed of the strokes.
             The scribble scratch is similar the baby scratch but the movement is smaller and faster. The trick is to tense your forearm while performing what looks like a bad case of the shakes with your hand. Make sure that the vinyl only moves a small amount, but at a quick pace.
             The tear is essentially the same as the baby scratch, but the movement of the backward stroke is split into two sections. The first half of the back movement should be followed by a slower second half. At first you should just practice the backstroke so you can get used to the change in speed.
             The next series of scratches require the use of the crossfader (or fader). The fader is the primary tool used by DJ's for mixing. It allows the user to quickly change from one channel to another, in this case, from turntable one to turntable two and visa-versa. It also allows the two channels to play simultaneously, which is refered to as being "open". When I refer to the fader being closed the sound coming from the sample you are scratching shouldn't be audible.
