Just drag the disc with the mouse or drag the waveform.

Well I think the most effective mouse scratching is done with the keyboard and the mouse. I think the keyboard is mapped to the crossfader. Gauge will weigh in I'm sure. He seems to be the expert on this.

lol i'm no proffesional by any means.

here's what i do...

i use keyboard shortcuts to control behavior of the crossfader. i use the mouse to manipulate the movement of the record.

thats pretty much it, just lots of practice!

any questions feel free to ask

Gauge, do you adjust the sensitivity of the mouse in control panel? I would think you would have to de-sensitise it, otherwise an inch movement in the mouse would move the track all over the place. Unlike vinyl, where an inch of movement isn't much sound at all.

no i dont adjust sensitivity. i've just gotten used to how much movement is needed for what i want to do with the sample. if adjusted now it woulod throw me al off. lol

it does take very little movent of the mouse but with some practice you can get some pretty decent sounds out of it.
