Also FL has a really great one called wave traveller, you can downkload the FL demo from image line and do everything but open saved projects so you can make your scratch and then export it without problems.
Sadly very reduced studio equipment as it is... ASUS G750J, 8 gb RAM, Win8, Roland Quad Capture.

I don't produce hip-hop music but I believe the TTS-1 synth (included with SONAR) has some scratching samples in one of the drum kit patches.

I thought each scratch was carefully selected by the DJ for it's tone and character... and then I thought the velocity, attack, and "damping" wrist technique is really what makes a particular scratch "work" rhythmically in a tune.
I can't imagine a sample collection helping you get any sense of "vibe" going.
I recommend a yardsale turntable and some old records... and then take some time to learn your instrument.
best regards,
mike

Go to "http://www.mpcsounds.com/soundsets-downloadable.php" and check out the "Vinyl Scratches". These are in .wav formats and can be used with any software.

Yeah there's a few sample sets online that are free. Plus I think the Smokers Delight sample set (for Battery and others) has a slew of them.
@mike: generally that is true, but if you're just trying to add a vibe, or make it more of a percussion component than you can sound sculpt it in. 'sides you can edit a downspin sample to sit better for what one is doing... but yeah having a real turntable around is fun for homemade stuff

I can't imagine a sample collection helping you get any sense of "vibe" going. This is a strong argument for not using instrument samples at all. If sampling scratching fails to capture the musicality of the instrument/musician, sampling a Stradivarius is really egregious.

I'm not so sure about that. Although I'm not a proponent of this style, I don't see this as being any different than using samples for drums or any other instrument. With planning and practice, you can be effective at it. Also, a yardsale turntable would not work very well. DJs typically use direct drive turntables as opposed to belt drive turntables which would not work very well since the back and forth movement would stretch or break the belt.

thewordsmith - I should mention that the freebie I recommended is not just a collection of scratch sounds. Instead, it's a VST that provides a turntable effect on your own audio track. It uses fader type controls to simulate the back-and-forth turntable movement. http://www.dontcrack.com/...tware/Turntablist-Pro/
