5.0�toiles sur 5 I love this book!, Jui 11 2004

This review is from: Turntable Technique: The Art of the DJ (Paperback)

I received a pair of turntables and a mixer for Christmas last year, and this book got me off my rear end and got me practicing. I mastered beat matching in one night.

The book is very easy to follow. The records that come along with it are great, too.

I heard the author on NPR and he was cutting Richard Nixon saying "I am not a crook," which is right off of the records that come with this book!

I also learned about Grandmaster Flash, Qbert and Craze from the interviews and history section.

Well worth the price!

5.0�toiles sur 5 12" Records Very Handy, Jui 11 2004

Par	Eric West (Davis, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Turntable Technique: The Art of the DJ (Paperback)

I have probably all of the books on DJing that are out there, and this is my favorite. It comes with two 12" records that contain a wide band of white noise (like a continuous "Ahhhhh" sample) that really help you ease into skratching. I've been DJing for years now, and I still use that track.

There is also a very cool acid jazz track which has a Miles Davis muted trumpet vibe going which you can beat match with an R&B style track---I never could get the hang of beat matching until I bought this book/record set. This really made it easy.

The other technique this book helped me with better than any other source I could find is the crab scratch. The exercises break it down into very easy to follow steps, and by practicing slowly and speeding it up a little at a time, my crabs are now even and clean.

I think maybe this book throws off some people who are expecting it to read like a copy of Source magazine---it's refreshingly free of trendy lingo and the silly posturing that often accompanies the DJ scene. It also treats the turntable as a musical instrument, which some DJs still have a problem with. It helped me a lot, and like I said, I still use the records--there are a lot of good synth and spoken word samples on them as well!

1.0�toiles sur 5 this other book is *much* better, Ao� 4 2003

Par Un client

Don't bother with this book; I bought it and was totally disappointed. Buy the book listed below instead, it's thick, full of information on all aspects on DJ'ing form beat-matching to equalizing to matching jeys, etc .. and it's even fun to read.

This is for people who don't know what a turntable or a mixer is.. People who have never heard of DJing before..

I began scratching two years ago using this book, and progressed faster through the basics than any of my friends who started at about the same time. Read more

1.0�toiles sur 5 Don't buy this!
I found this book totally useless. It's thin, pretty much only talks about scratching, and the little information it contains anyone who is even thinking of learning how to DJ... Read more
