look for some videos on the web. And the most important thing: practice!

scratching is all about playing with your crossfader.
to start... for example,
2 turntables, 1 mixer with 2 channels.
left turntable a sample vinyl (scratchplaatjuhh... :P), right turntable a bad assed beat.
cut off the bass on channel one and put the volume a little lower than channel 2,
pick a nice sample to scratch with (a sound or a vocal or something) make easy moves, as long as it doenst sound to horrible. and your crossfader is the most important thing actually when you have been practicing for a while, to cut one move in actually 3 sounds.
keep practicing and you will become better. and better.
