How to 'spin the record?'

Post by 187shayan »

I've been trying to create the effect of spinning off a song like a DJ would whilst using turntables... the closest i got was speeding up the tempo (which was limited) and putting it in reverse but did not give the desired effect.

Any suggestions how I could do this effectively to sound like spinning the record on a real turntable?

How about the preset under doppler called "Spin the record?" (It's the effect button all the way to the left under "New", or by going to Effect|Doppler).

Using that preset in very small increments combined with reversing, and changing the tempo may give you more of the effect you're looking for. Hope that helps.

Sarge, I think he is asking about a "scratch" sound that DJs get when placing a record on a turntable, putting the tone arm down and then manually zipping the turntable a few inches one way and then back the other. When done properly, one can generate a rather amusing effect.

Shayan - I have never tried and I doubt that it would work out. The DJ style turntable scratch is the result of physical contact and friction.

If you just need a scratch, there are sound effects web sites that have them available. If you need something specific to your need rather than a generic scratch - I bet you will have to use a turntable and a record, and then practice.
