So I took a long break from mixing to focus on school (didn't really focus too much but it's w/e) and i've been getting back into it cause I just miss it. I use to do a lot of EDM/house mixes, swapping basses into vocal outros and stuff like that, simple transitions. I've always had an interest in hip-hop/rap mixing and I know a lot of the basics, filter in highs swap the basses on the outro etc. But I've been really curious in scratching just to add it to my techniques. I have an older Traktor S2 with Traktor Pro 2 and was wondering if anyone knows if there are certain settings I should alter to aide in learning how to scratch. I know I should adjust the fader sharpness but I feel that the platters and wave forms aren't responsive enough to get that actual scratch sound. Maybe it's just my technique but I was hoping someone on here has some experience with scratching on a digital controller or knows of where I can go to learn how to get better at scratching.
Thanks guys
