I am new to vinyl and have been happily working away at my beat
matching etc for a good few months now. Recently i have come across DJ
tool LPs i.e. collections of very short samples/scratches/breaks by
DJs such as Rectangle, Yoda and Octagon. My question is how can these
be used practically in a set? It seems very laborious to cue and
repeat every sample, how does it work? Sorry if this is a stupid
question but i am teaching myself here. Any help much appreciated.

Most of the samples are used for scratch purposes, or just a quick
vocal/sound sample. I use them quite a bit actually. It's just so much
more interesting than standing there while the record plays. If there's
a longer series of beats (64-128 bars) you can use them for juggling or
just cue them and drop them over the breakdown of the playing record.
Tools records require imagination. There's a lot of ways you can use
them effectively.
