Oh, and buying a copy of Q Bert’s DIY Vol. 1 on DVD helps!

i have a djm 600 and the cut off point is a little big so i unscrewed the fader panel glued a 1p peice underneath so a few MM of it covered the fader space so the cut off is shorter meaning the crab is a zillon times easier(remember folks it doesnt matter hoe good you are just how good it sounds) there is no such thing as cheating

[quote quote="J-Pitch":3erhz8x7]That YouTube vid is from Qbert’s "DJ Q-Berts Complete Do It Yourself Guide Vol. 1 – Scratching"

I highly recommend it as it is the best scratch video I have purchased.[/quote:3erhz8x7]

totally agree with you there. I bought this vid 2 months ago and my scratching is defiantely starting to improve after many years of just fiddling about, not quite knowing how to scratch properly.
