Hey everybody, my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, another thing your obviously going to want to be able to do is to scratch your tracks. It's very easy to do in Virtual DJ. All you have to do is put your cursor over one of the records, and click the left mouse button and just drag it around like you would on an actual turntable. You can do this to both tables. You can go forwards and backwards. Just spin it around like an actual record. Another way of doing this is if you put your cursor over the top of the record and you can scroll your mouse button. Scrolling it up will make it go forward, and down will make it go backwards. There's also another way, up here you'll see your wave form which we touched on earlier. All you have to do is left click, and you can drag the wave form back and forth and that will scratch as well. Sometimes that's a little bit easier to do. If you right click and drag, it will control the right turntable so you can switch between very easily. You can also do these while each track is playing, or you can have one track playing and one track stationary. You can just make some scratch tracks like you would on a real turntable using either of these methods.
