Perform Like A Pro!American Audios Digital Scratch Traxx CDFeatures "Live" Scratching Samples >From DJ Skilz
LOS ANGELES -- Now any DJ can follow in the "tracks" of one of the most renowned masters of their field. American Audio has released Digital Scratch Traxx, a production CD that features 99 explosive scratching samples recorded by nationally acclaimed disc jockey DJ Skilz..
Created exclusively for scratch mix disc jockeys, Digital Scratch Traxx allows any DJ to incorporate the work of DJ Skilz intotheir own performance. Each sample track on the CD provides up to 10 seconds of Skilz intricate techniques, includingstabs, chirps, tear and transform scratching.
"DJ Skilz is one of the most incredibly talented disc jockeys today, and now with our new Digital Scratch Traxx CD, his impressive scratching techniques are available to all DJs," said John Brown, national sales manager of American Audio." Each of the 99 tracks is loaded with beats, loops and quotes. By using the CD as background, disc jockeys can blend Skilz samples with their own techniques to create a totally unique -- and authentic-sounding -- scratching performance."
The reason Digital Scratch Traxx sounds so authentic is because the scratching tracks were originally created by Skilz onvinyl. The samples were then re-engineered digitally to provide users with the convenience of a CD.
Digital Scratch Traxx is ideal for use with American Audios revolutionary Pro Scratch 1, the worlds first single CD player that "scratches" like a turntable. In fact, the Digital Scratch Traxx CD can actually be considered software for the hardware, because the two work together so well. For example, using the Pro Scratch 1, disc jockeys can instantly call up any of thescratching samples on the CD.
"With the Pro Scratch 1, DJs can overlay different effects while theyre scratching," said Brown. "By combining the sampletracks on Digital Scratch Traxx with the features of the Pro Scratch 1, disc jockeys of all levels can spice up their performance and sound like a true pro -- Skilz himself!"
Perhaps theres no member of their profession that more DJs aspire to sound like than the legendary DJ Skilz. Starting out at the age of 13, Skilz has innovated and taught himself a wide variety of scratch mix tricks, becoming one of the mostsought-after DJs in the business.
Today, Skilz resides as host of Club Rio, the top rated nightclub in Las Vegas. A diehard user of American Audio gear, hetravels around the country giving scratch-mixing demonstrations on the companys products. American Audio has evennamed a mixer after him -- the XDM-2221 "Skilz" Scratch Mixer.
The Digital Scratch Traxx CD has a suggested list price of $19.95.
