School of Scratch Update: Pushes Tutorial

December 6, 2016

Hey! Here is a sneak peak of the latest School of Scratch “Pushes” masterclass tutorial.

Pushes are a faderless record hand technique which can add a new dimension to your forward scratches, creating variation and a more expressive sound.

In the full 17 minute tutorial over in the School of Scratch Classroom, I give a comprehensive breakdown of pushes including different patterns and a QnA session so you can apply the technique in your scratching.

It covers:
