I hope that's okay... - So are you singing or rapping the main chorus or
is this scratching of some other artist(s) - And is he saying 'rock the
beat with your hands' - If so, that would bring it all together for me -
Maybe consider posting the lyrics - And the other question is, is it
more than one tune that your scratching? I'm trying to understand
more so that I don't say something stupid (if I haven't already) - You
had a nice beat going there - I don't know who or what to praise, or
not... Help! -

Keep making music - Dion

Each track is a break or segment of the record that I used to create the rhythm
for this song. There was no live intruments, synths or anything. It all came
from vynil. I basically used the turntables as the instrument to lay down each
track.

The "rock the beat" voice is an old LL Cool J song. The other parts where
parts of a drum, a guitar pluck, and various sounds that sounded good to cut
with.

Sorry for the confusion. I suppose I should put more info on the songs I put
on.

I like it..... the scratching is really good! did you use 2 turntables along
with something else?

I used to scratch and think its cool.

Nope. 2 Turntables. Thats it.
All the tracks were not recorded live of course but each track was made with
vynil.

...what you can do with 2 turntables - top stuff!

I appreciate the compliment since Im only a beginner in this turntablism thing. Hopefully as I get better the tracks will too.

this is interesting.....
the cuts are well done, a little off beat, but none the less, very nice.
how do you get the sound from your turntables to the computer?
i try to do that by put my computer's built in mic next to the speakers.
not so good.
good work!

I used a usb/rca converter for it. You can get them pretty cheap and they work well. I also use a stand alone recorder to help with the timing on the tracks. It was basically a mixture of equipment and hardware.

But way too much confusion too me. Not saying its bad, but not great either. Either way, I wish I could do some stuff like this.

None taken. It was a purely experimental thing for me. In the long run I think I
would like to incorporate something like it into some other music that i create
to enhance it. I will however give it another shot in another form. Stay tuned...
