Help with the scratching transition

No your not doing something wrong, it is the way the players are designed. Whenever you put your hand on the platter, the platter has control over the player (just like putting your hands on a piece of vinyl while playing on a TT). So once you put your hand on the platter, any motion you make the platter do, the player will follow along with until both you are not touching the platter any more, and secondly the platter comes to a complete stop. Without that feature, you couldn't pull off things like backspins.

yes you could you could do that on the pio cdj 1000. i've done it. the ps2 just lacks that feature

Let's not get started with who's better and all that ...we can go on all day why the PS2's in fact are still a better player.......We can start at the price.....
First off you must understand just like vinyl ...if the platter is moving nothing is going to cue on beat. I personally always tap the platter to stop the momentum of the platter. If you put the player in juggle mode and scratch and backspin you need to stop the platter by taping to get on beat. If you back spin vinyl unless you have it marked already you have to find your cue point and recue to mix in the music. With the PS2 put the player in juggle mode, have your cue point set. Play the cued player, scratch your cued point, backspin and tap the platter in beat with the song playing and it should still be in beat, turn off the bass on the song your mixing into. Scratch the song your fading out and bam your transition is complete.

Nice explination Tiger.

Thanks man

Thanks for the explanation!

The one thing is that what if you you want to scratch a different point than your queue point? What if immediately after you scratch a point you want to hit another one of the saved queue points? Then the tap method wouldn't really work because the same hand you use to tap you would also use to hit the quer point.I hope I explained this right =)

.......and that is when practice and YOUR skill comes out and shines. That when they see you and your hands are just flawless.....WHY????......because you've been practicing and practicing to perfect the art....
