Chapter 7 Crossfader Basics
35
37 Crossfader cuts
This is one of the most basic moves in the DJ’s collection of Crossfader techniques — cutting in
with a scratch.
Hit a Pattern and keep the Crossfader all the way to the left so that only the Pattern is heard. While
the Pattern is playing, work the Scratch Pad (even though you can’t hear it). Whip the fader to the
right and then back left quickly. If you do it right, you’ll get a brief hit of the scratch — without
interrupting the flow of the rhythm!
Once you get the hang of it — and you think your scratching chops are up to it — try working the
Scratch Pad only when you flick the Crossfader!
