How to unlock the Tap King achievement in DJ Hero - Definitive Guide
You can ignore most of the non-button stuff (scratching, etc.) when going for this except the crossfader. You can't press the buttons if the crossfader is set incorrectly.
I don't think pressing the buttons for the scratches matters - just the tap buttons (as the achievement says).
Just tap all the notes and its yours (Also unlocks Superstar DJ if on expert)
One trick about this achievement is that you can overtap, as long as you hit every note, so just focus on the easiest way of hitting every note. If you've been having problems, try this method:
For the first part, use two fingers. This part is fairly straight forward. (Boom, boom, tap.) When he gets to the break before the part with the high hat, get both hands ready on the three buttons. Make sure that if you have to hit one note, you hit all three. That way you won't have to worry about missing one. Get the beat down, and the achievement should pop in a few tries.
This method should also work for Superstar DJ. I got them both at the same time, overtapping through the mix.
Another simple trophy. The platter buttons are the three buttons on top of your LP which are of three colors. (Green, Red and Blue) In evey color line a sort of rounded note may appear coming towards you. When it crosses the line where the 3 circles are you must tap the button corresponding to the color. They may come in groups of two or three and you just would need to press them at the same time. If you want to make it easy you can go to the first song ("Ain't no love in the heart of the city"/"Fuzz and them") and concentrate on the crossfader (so that you can play the notes) and in the notes. The notes are probably the easiest thing out of all the thing you may find in a mix. This must be done in hard or expert but it is really easy if you do it on a simple song.
