![]() When you buy locally, you also have a chance to meet some very nice sellers and audiophiles, who you can lean on if you ever need any help or advice.I've met quite a few of them in the last several years, which is partly why I'm up to my 36th record player at this point. If I knew whereabouts you lived, Liam, I could probably find some decent turntables within your price range.They would be local purchases, too, which would save on having a turntable shipped to you.Not that you couldn't buy one online, but I would definitely make sure the seller knows how to package the turntable properly.You can see here what our member BMRR did when he sent me his Dual 1219. Personally, though (and while the Heyday may have some benefits over the Victrola), finding a decent turntable that will be kinder to your records than either of those shouldn't have to be a chore or cost an arm and a leg, either, even for music lovers on a budget.Our thread here proves that you don't need a ton of money to get into this hobby and buy good equipment. The technique is especially popular among ska, rocksteady and reggae guitarists, who use it with virtually every riddim they play on.You know Liam.We have talked about the Heyday before here.Read this. Skanking is when a note is isolated by left hand damping of the two strings adjacent to the fully fretted string, producing the desired note (the adjacent strings are scratched). In funk music this is often done over a sixteenth note pattern with occasional sixteenths undamped.įloating is the technique where a chord is sustained past a sixteenth note rather than that note being scratched, the term referring to the manner in which the right hand "floats" over the strings rather than continuing to scratch. The term presumably refers to the clunky sound produced. ![]() Scratching is where the strings are played while damped, i.e., the strings are damped before playing. On guitar, damping (also referred to as choking) is a technique where, shortly after playing the strings, the sound is reduced by pressing the right hand palm against the strings, right hand damping (including Palm muting), or relaxing the left hand fingers' pressure on the strings, left hand damping (or Left-hand muting). Damping methods are used for a number of instruments. Kool Herc developed break-beat DJing, where the breaks of funk songs -being the most danceable part, often featuring percussion -were isolated and repeated for the purpose of all-night dance parties.ĭamping is a technique in music for altering the sound of a musical instrument. Jamaican-born DJ Kool Herc also influenced the early development of scratching. Scratching was developed by early hip hop DJs from New York such as Grand Wizard Theodore, who describes scratching as, " nothing but the back-cueing that you hear in your ear before you push it out to the crowd." (Toop, 1991). In recorded hip-hop songs, scratched hooks often use portions of other songs. Within hip hop culture, scratching is one of the measures of a DJ's skills, as in DMC World DJ Championship or IDA (International DJ Association) former ITF (International turntablist Federation) where the DJs can use only scratch oriented gear (turntables + mixer + digital vinyl systems or vinyl only), and there are many scratching competitions. ![]() While scratching is most commonly associated with hip hop music, since the mid-1970s, it has been used in some styles of pop and in nu metal. Scratching, sometimes referred to as scrubbing, is a DJ and turntablist technique used to produce distinctive sounds by moving a vinyl record back and forth on a turntable while optionally manipulating the crossfader on a DJ mixer. ![]()
