Scratching with Vci 100. No prior experience
Hey, I'm sure there are a bunch of topics like this but sometimes it's better to start your own then search through tons of other answers and only sort of find the answer your looking for.
Anyways, I just got the Vci 100 and I've looked up scratch tutorials on youtube and such but their all geared towards turntables and since I don't actually have a record I'm having trouble translating them to the Vci 100. Can someone explain to me the basics of scratching using a vci 100? What technique should I use?
Thanks, Misha

I used to do some pretty cool scratch patterns with the vci by using the gater. just move the jog back and forth with one hand and fiddle with the speed knob on the gater (make sure the dope knob is at full), and just make a rhythm using the speed. makes you sound like you're doing crazy fast scratches

yeah if you really want to excel at scratching then I fully suggest to start from the ground up. I was simply suggesting an easy way to integrate it into mixing. regardless, one of the good things about the vci is that the crossfader curve is fully controllable, and you can even invert it, either in traktor by changing the highlighted deck on either side of the crossfader, or by doing it physically on the vci (I did this on accident once when I took it apart :P). the latter however is a bit more permanent :P good luck though. it'd be cool to see more scratch/turntablist (jogwheelist) djs on digital controllers.
