DJUCED™ and DJ Control AIR

(3) Notes on scratching
The quality of a scratch depends on the DJ’s talent, and also on the music track used to scratch. You
cannot make a good scratch sound with just any music track: your scratching performance depends
on how the music track you have loaded on the deck sounds when it is scratched.
Some DJs emphasize their scratching talent by scratching using music tracks which already include
scratch sounds.
