Scratching
Hey all, Does anyone know how to put the effect on vocals like a DJ is holding the spinning record and stopping it to give it that scratching and quick repeating effect? I'm doing an album for a hip hop artist and he asked if I could do that to one section of the vocals and I have no ideabut of course I said "Sure!" Thanks!
Re: Scratching
Hi Jon, I have a friend that does scratching this way. Bounce the vocal "rap" track and burn a cd then put it into a DJ cd player that can scratch and take audio out from dj box and bang it in to pt! Now you can move it into position in pt if you don't scratch in time! :) Its quick but works fine. May be someone has a better way but this will get er done! :) YMMV On Mar 8, 2012, at 12:26 PM, Jon Solitro wrote: > Hey all, > > Does anyone know how to put the effect on vocals like a DJ is holding > the spinning record and stopping it to give it that scratching and > quick repeating effect?

Re: Scratching
Also you could try VarIfi or whatever it's called in the audio sweet menu, but not sure how much milage you'll get out of that. Goldwave to perhaps? Not sure, it does seem a bit of a tall order LOL, but huh anyways.

Re: Scratching
Hi Chris, Vari-Fi does a "great" job of slowing down the track, but does not scratch to my knowledge. My Hip-Hop clients love it. Just make a selection on the word or phrase and bang!

Re: Scratching
The only way I have accomplished scratching is by using Sonar with the JSonar scripts and a VST called Turntablest Pro. Obviously you need a PC running Jaws and Sonar for this. This is one reason why I can't see moving to ProTools fully yet because it seems as if we have a certain level of accessibility but goodness knows when - hopefully it's a case of "when" and not "if" - we'll get more accessibility.. You also need hotspot clicker to create a hotspot file so that you can get a sighted person to put your mouse on the load button, and the other buttons and then you can assign a hotkey to achieve clicking the load button yourself. I have a very tempramental hotspot file for TurnTablest Pro that I have to remap everytime I want to use it. It makes the plugin accessible but takes me a bit longer than it would take a sighted person. I don't think sharing my hotspot file would really help. Hotspot clicker is another reason why I can't forsake my PC for ProTools on the mac entirely. There are too many important production techniques I would lose. I hope this helps a bit. Email if you think this might be a plausable option for you and I'll be happy to talk you through things as best I can. Incidentaly, if you want to hear some of my scratching in operation using turntablest pro then there's a DJ set I created last year with quite a bit of scratching in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmPsAdHU0ig that's the version for Youtube, or download it here: http://www.archive.org/download/DavidEaglesPickAndMixEpisode01/DavidEaglesPickAndMixEpisode01_vbr_mp3.zip On 08/03/2012, CHUCK REICHEL wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Vari-Fi does a "great" job of slowing down the track, but does not scratch > to my knowledge. > My Hip-Hop clients love it. > Just make a selection on the word or phrase and bang! > > CHUCK REICHEL > 954-742-0019 > www.SoundPictureRecording.com > In GOD I Trust > > > > > > > > On Mar 8, 2012, at 5:22 PM, Chris Norman wrote: > >> Also you could try VarIfi or whatever it's called in the audio sweet menu, >> but not sure how much milage you'll get out of that. >> >> Goldwave to perhaps? >> >> Not sure, it does seem a bit of a tall order LOL, but huh anyways. >> >> >> Take care, >> Chris Norman >> Email and MSN: chris.norm...@googlemail.com >> Feel free to follow my music, either by following @cnproject on Twitter >> (www.twitter.com/cnproject), or by liking my Facebook page at >> www.facebook.com/thechrisnormanproject. >> >> On 8 Mar 2012, at 18:45, CHUCK REICHEL wrote: >> >>> Hi Jon, >>> I have a friend that does scratching this way. >>> Bounce the vocal "rap" track and burn a cd then put it into a DJ cd >>> player that can scratch and take audio out from dj box and bang it in to >>> pt! >>> Now you can move it into position in pt if you don't scratch in time! :) >>> Its quick but works fine. >>> May be someone has a better way but this will get er done! :) >>> YMMV >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> On Mar 8, 2012, at 12:26 PM, Jon Solitro wrote: >>> >>>> Hey all, >>>> >>>> Does anyone know how to put the effect on vocals like a DJ is holding >>>> the spinning record and stopping it to give it that scratching and >>>> quick repeating effect?

Re: Scratching
On the subject of scratching,:I came across an IPhone/IPad app called DJay. It lets you do scratching, beat matching, adding effects, pitch shifting, stuttering and all sorts of other stuff. It seems as if this would be amazing for someone sighted. I would love to be able to use it. I only downloaded it last night (for 69 pense incidentally) and I managed to load a track and do some scratching with it. I also got some stuttering, EQ changes, speed changes and pitch shifting going, and bit crushing too. You have to turn Voice Over off (pressing the home key 3 times) once the track is loaded so that you can do the scratching and stuff. I think I might use it in my next DJ project but it will be a case of just plugging it into my sound card, experimenting with it for a while and then taking the best results and matching it to my project. I haven't managed to work out how to do specific things on it as such; it is more just a case of tapping and sliding aroudn the screen and listening to what crazy things happen. The good news though is that you can hook it up to a control surface (not sure which ones) and so this might give us more accessibility. We'll get there my friends!

Re: Scratching
One final thing: there are many more apps for around 69 pense that do similar things that I haven't tried yet. I think there is one that just does scratching. This might be better for us because the screen might be less cluttered and so perhaps it would make it more accessible. I know this isn't ProTools related, but someone did ask about scratching and if we were sighted ProTools users then perhaps we wouldn't need to look for alternatives like this. So it's all about finding work-arounds. Hope this helps. On 14/03/2012, David Eagle wrote: > On the subject of scratching,:I came across an IPhone/IPad app called > DJay.

Re: Scratching
All very good info David...a lot of these ap solutions could really be a nice place to start looking as you say because of the price. I am looking for something to do stutter effects alright...I had the use of a Kaoss pad for a while, and that had some nice little capabilities, but really it's a bit of a strange possibly outdated bit of gear for the prosumer DJ market, I can't see why an iPhone ap couldn't be as much fun or as effective really. I'd love to hear an audio demo if you find any time after you mess around a bit more...or even just another report on your progress.

Re: Scratching
Yes, I'll do some more experimenting. There is a plugin called Stutter Edit made by the producer BT alongside iZotope. This could be accessible since you can control this via a midi controller. I think all the keys are automatically assigned to different patterns, effects and speeds. This is available to trial for ten days. I will have a look into it. There is some examples of Stutter Edit on YOutube:.Here's a video of BT talking about Stutter Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WZeDLrMss0 I also use some really good VST plugins. I believe it is possible to use VSt in ProTools nowadays with some kind of add on. I'll let you know about these vSTs when I get home to my DAW. Again, these should work in ProTools because the controls are automatable and you can use midi to activate them. I'll be back in touch soon with more findings.

Re: Scratching
Just got stutter edit this second and will have a play with it...of course, I'll mostly be doing this type of thing in sonar myself and don't invisage doing things on this end of the spectrum in PT any time soon. I know there are VST rappers for logic and such, not so sure about the existance or reliablity of such devices in ProTools. That stutter edit thing is all over music made in the past year, can't believe I didn't go lookng for the single plugin solution for most of those sounds! I had probably thought people were putting a lot of work into slicing things up and editing! I'll look forward to trying to get it going to cut up live performances, but now we are straying very much off topic! sorry listers! -- From: "David Eagle" Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 3:11 PM To: Subject: Re: Scratching Yes, I'll do some more experimenting. There is a plugin called Stutter Edit made by the producer BT alongside iZotope. This could be accessible since you can control this via a midi controller. I think all the keys are automatically assigned to different patterns, effects and speeds. This is available to trial for ten days. I will have a look into it. There is some examples of Stutter Edit on YOutube:.Here's a video of BT talking about Stutter Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WZeDLrMss0 I also use some really good VST plugins.

I am looking for something to do stutter effects alright...I had the use of a Kaoss pad for a while, and that had some nice little capabilities, but really it's a bit of a strange possibly outdated bit of gear for the prosumer DJ market, I can't see why an iPhone ap couldn't be as much fun or as effective really. I'd love to hear an audio demo if you find any time after you mess around a bit more...or even just another report on your progress.

I think there is one that just does scratching. This might be better for us because the screen might be less cluttered and so perhaps it would make it more accessible. I know this isn't ProTools related, but someone did ask about scratching and if we were sighted ProTools users then perhaps we wouldn't need to look for alternatives like this.

I haven't managed to work out how to do specific things on it as such; it is more just a case of tapping and sliding aroudn the screen and listening to what crazy things happen. The good news though is that you can hook it up to a control surface (not sure which ones) and so this might give us more accessibility. We'll get there my friends!
