Accurate teaches me to scratch..

This video is a little different from what you might be used to...
It was such a blast being at Native Instruments' event celebrating 10 years of Maschine, but the real treat was meeting the other creators invited and the people behind scenes at Native.
Each person carries with them the body of knowledge which they piece together over time based on their interests, and this was a great opportunity to try and suck in as much of that as possible... both from my "youtube peers" as well as the team at NI.
I'm not that big of a fan of scratching - most of the "scratch stars" I've seen have gone overboard with technique and fast scratching and that's a bit too much for me, but I'm quite fond of both Accurate Beats as a person as well as his scratching style, so I was quite happy when he agreed to walk me through it.
I was also quite interested in the jog wheels on the new Traktor S4 MK3 - they're motorized and respond very much like turntables. I wouldn't know, but Accurate says it's so much so that skills are directly transferable between the two.
I also challenged him to scratch to distinctly non-hip hop music and I think the result came out quite nice...
Anyway, if you're curious about scratching and how Traktor S4 compares to vinyl, this one's for you, and if not, we'll be back to content that's more like what you're used to next week!
All my best,
