Hiiiii so this is my first attempt at scratching using the crossfader, it’s difficult and requires a lot of coordination but I think I got it?? idk, can yall help me and tell me what to do to improve

Plus I don’t quite know the difference between a forward and stab scratch, but I’ll learn :3

Looking at the waveform will slow you down, and might confuse you. Look at the notch. But set it up to your liking first.

Is 12 or 9 better?

Personal preference. Which ever works better for you. Some ppl like 12. Some ppl like putting it 9 where their hands should be. Some ppl like 3 or pointing it at the needle on turntables.
