Anyone fancy a scratch battle?

2 to 2:30 mins.

Sample!? Can be any or restricted.

Agree date etc, once we work out who's battling.

I would say I'm above beginning but not super advanced, about intermediate.

2 mins is pretty long though. I'm thinking like 32 bars or something....

32 bars is to short. 1min to 1min 30?

Ok try and get something together. No rush as I'm not 100% ready myself.,Once you got an idea we'll sort the deadline.
What you think?

Hey Rabbit... was thinking about possibly doing a video instead. Probably just using my iphone or if I get a GoPro soon from the wife for Xmas then it'll be better. Sound good?

yes mate, can do video. Only concern if you'll be scratching and you can't line in into the camera we will be able to here your clicks.

But hay i'm easy, so yes i'm up for that.

Got new equipment coming for xmas myself.

yeah I hear ya. but from videos that I've taken already with my phone near my monitors sound hasn't really been an issue. My issue is positioning. I'm thinking of getting a web cam and just recording through my laptop.

do you want to set a deadline for the 5th or 12th, first and second week of new year?

Gives us ample time without it getting in the way of stuff we'll have to do over the xmas and new year period.
Also give us both a kick up the arse.

Sounds good. Yeah things have been busy and will be getting busier in the next few weeks. I think I'll record a set with my Vestax setup as an ode to one of the greatest dj companies ever.

Cool. Give me a few days. Kinda want to wait til I get my audio adaptor for my new go pro. But The sound is decent already. Just the clicks tend to be a little to loud on my pmc 05

Get your stuff then do it, I'm more than willing to wait.

cool, just waiting on amazon. Got a confirmation that it has been sent but is expected to come possibly by next week. Anyway, my 05 is acting up so I'll be recording on my 909 & 12's. My 05 has some kind of grounding issue and while i'm scratching it sometimes gives off this crappy buzz and I can't hear my deck. So I have to tap on it a bit or even give it a knock on the side.
But I have been taking some videos and my iPhone 6 does a pretty good job. Right now my struggle is to try to record 2.5 mins of no mistakes or at least a half decent scratch set. I'm off til the 5th so I should have something by Sunday the latest.

2 and half mins is nothing it takes me that long to get warmed up.

Tip: pick four scratches you know or patterns. each bar of 4 change sample or pattern and you will fly through it. You'll be suprised how many scrathes you know when you do it this way. Or just freestyle it. :P

lol... I hear you... but me being anal about things kinda hinders me. Anyway I was pretty much going to build my routine around 4-6 scratches. I have something right now.
Just finished everything. Added a Title to the video and everything.... In total its about 3.5 mins. But for about 30 secs at the beginning there's a slight wait, as I was waiting for the start of the loop.

So do we have to upload it to YouTube or do we just submit a raw video file?

TheRabbitMonk

nar upload it to youtube, not the same when we battle with movies.

I'm at work till 9 tonight, when i get home i'll upload to youtube as well. then just send it to one of the mods and i'll do the same.

We might of posted it to the wrong person. I thought rek as he posted the last lot of battles, but thinking about it I think we should of sent them to Jon or Kevin.

Generally you will send to me, you can send it to Rek as well if I am not responding however he handles mainly the tournaments. Kevin isn't involved anymore.

Do you mind sending it to me? I'm not sure if Rek will be able to get to this but i can post it.
