DJ scratching is an art form that involves manipulating the sound of a track to create new and unique sounds. There are many different scratching techniques that DJs can use to create a variety of sounds, including:

  1. Cut scratching: This is the most basic scratching technique and involves quickly cutting back and forth between two parts of the track.

  2. Transform scratching: This technique involves transforming the sound of the scratch by adding effects, such as reverb or delay.

  3. Chirp scratching: This is a type of scratching that involves quickly moving the crossfader back and forth to create a chirping sound.

  4. Crab scratching: This technique involves moving the crossfader back and forth while simultaneously moving the jog wheel back and forth to create a crab-like sound.

  5. Flare scratching: This is a type of scratching that involves rapidly moving the crossfader back and forth while twisting the jog wheel.

  6. Stab scratching: This technique involves making a quick, abrupt movement with the crossfader to create a stabbing sound.

  7. Tear scratching: This is a type of scratching that involves quickly moving the crossfader back and forth in a tearing motion.

  8. Orbits: This involves rapidly moving the jog wheel in a circular motion to create a sound that resembles an orbit.

These are just a few of the many different scratching techniques that DJs can use to create unique sounds. To become a skilled scratcher, it's important to practice and experiment with different techniques to find the ones that work best for you.
