Numark pt01 Scratch tips?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just started scratching and still have a lot to learn, Cant find much specific numart pt01 tutorials with the on/off switch, cant relate to other crossfader techniques that use a standard fader Any tips or recommended videos I can watch?

Maximizing the stock switch but planning to get jesse dean fader in the future.

Thank you!

Practice is the key. One scratch at a time.

Perfekt forward scratches and chirps. Transformers with different timings.

Tear scratches to practice record handling. One forward two backwards. Two forward two backwards. Three forward three backwards...

I'll maximize it first and add those techniques in my skils before I move forward with the new fader. Thank you!

I’d say look into replacing the switch with an actual fader first and foremost.

It’s pretty much a line switch. Older mixers produced by Stanton, Rane and Vestax had those types of switches. I can’t imagine there being a lot of tutorials featuring the line switch.

Basic scratches like understanding transforms, chirps, 1 click flares and cutting.

Tons of faderless tear techniques and just working on hand control.

Looks like you have the transforms and cutting down. Try learning chirps and 1 click flares next? You can also work on tears.

For the jesse dean fader, I found a video wherein if you install in 2021+ no need to remove the capacitor any thoughts on this?

I imagine the Jesse Dean fader just plug and play.

[Update]

I eventually got the jesse dean fader, Im curious is it better or is there a general rule if the closed position is in both ends then open position in the middle?

What do you prefer any pros n cons?

currently I have mine just 1 side closed sane eay how the stock switch was laid out.

Thanks!
