My god this is why you need to watch all teachers all across the board. I use a DDJ-400 and never scratch but watch your tutorials anyways because you’re a great DJ and excellent teacher. I never found a vid explaining the 1/8th and 1/6th count for acapellas, thanks! - Sam

Dj Liftoff has taken me to a place I never thought I would be. His tutorials are PHENOMENAL! Watch ALL he has from novice to advance. Your skills will come to life but there's one thing that liftoff says which is a must, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. -@mrindabuildn
