The Transformer Scratch Tutorial

November 17, 2009

transformer

Happy Tutorial Tuesday!

This week, Short-e teaches you how to do the Transformer scratch. Named because it sounds like a transformer record, this scratch is attained by playing a long sample and cutting the sound on and off with the fader.

This tutorial is aimed more for the beginner just starting out but we hope you seasoned pro scratchers enjoy the beat and QnA at the end.

If you are following all of our tutorials you should now have a nice few basic scratches to practice. Try and link them together so a baby then a transform, or forward then a transform backwards. Most importantly KEEP PRACTICING!

Once you have the basics down, experiment with timings and swing.

The beat is #8546 taken from the Studio Scratches Beats for Scratch Practice Vol. 1 series

What do you think of this tutorial? Want us to do more? Please leave your feedback and comments.

If you are a beginner, post a video response and we will critique it and advise you.

Happy Scratching! 😀
