BoomFlare Mini Scratch Tutorial

March 31, 2016

Over at School of Scratch we are gearing up to learn the BoomFlare.

Sometimes before I teach scratches, I have to learn them! Here’s what that looks like and a rough breakdown.

Video Background

I’d spent some time learning using a diagram and this was my first go at locking it down slowly.




Note: the diagram in the video has extra sounds at the end, ignore those. I’m doing the first 12 sounds only.

Video Timestamp

  • 00:00 – Demo / practicing the pattern.
  • 01:18 – Breakdown.
  • 02:40 – Demo with a faster beat.
  • 03:25 – My process of learning this scratch.

Beats Used

Slow beat: Doc Jeezy Frank Castle is Dead Looper – Beat #1

Drilla – Mooqee vs Beatvandals.

Setup

  • Vestax Handy Trax
  • Raiden Fader
  • Practice Yo Cuts 7″

Shout out to SoS student Thomas C for breaking it down. Thomas is always learning and is keen to share. Thanks T!

Also to Rob D on YouTube for the breakdown.

The full produced HD video featuring an overhead view and super detailed breakdown and tutorial including timings is coming to School of Scratch soon.
