DJ Mix Basics - How to mix without Beatmatching 3

[xTurnipTimex]

What gear is that? And is it good for beginners? What do you recommend for a first time DJ no experience at all and I have a budget of maximum $200, used gear is fine.

honestly man that setup will run you at least $2,400 if you were smart about buying. I'm kind of in the same boat I want to get into djing but I have basically no money, I would suggest getting into contact with local dj companies and see if you can work with them, they will generally train you if you have no experience but are willing to work hard

That sucks very much, and it cannot be called mixing!

Is that power down effect available on most players?

[DJOmega80]

Some players have this, and some don't. This effect can also be done if the player has pitch range of +/- 100%. You would manually perform a power down by sliding the pitch fader to 0%.

@DJOmega80 You could just hold your thumb on the edge of the platter

This sounds good too. My intention was just to say more options there for mixing without beatmatching not to say this would be bad one :)

[DJOmega80]

No worries, I enjoy ideas to spark my creative mixing too. I posted the video so others could hear what you meant.

Yeps :) great. That was back in times my question on one forum that what possibilities there is to increase bpm in mix and those are the ways ofcourse there is others too.

[syntse]

Heard that's a good way of mixing when in need of change the bpm or the bpm between tunes is too high. Also think it would make little bit of extra something to that if the next track would also start slowly as in you would start TT not directly.
