I like the layout you have for your setup! Im about to buy a third 1000 and will likely end up using a stepped up and back shelving style layout at that point. Great video sir
Man its hard for me to pracc beatmatching :D Cause i know the bpm when i select the song in my traktor... and i know how much i need to increase the bpm in my cdj :/ I try not to look at the bpm but its just there straight in front of your eyes :P
@Ex0rz BPM counters are useful, but cannot always be trusted. Lets say for instance with a Drum & Bass track, certain parts of the beat (mostly high hats but can sometimes be other things) has an intricate arrangement; Sometimes the BPM counter may give you a reading that is 1 BPM off either side of what it should be...so 176 instead of 177.... always go by using your ears first then use the BPM counters to help you fine tune it whilst using your ears aswell ;)
What's wrong with seeing the bpm, putting the pitch of the second track right and then drop the second one in, on the right time, without using the sync button ?
Correct! Found this technique by accident while doing it the harder , the badder way on my Stantons. I don't know why it took me two months of playing to find it. Still need to practice more currectly it takes me few seconds till 2 minutes (matter of luck) to match the tunes correctly. But yeah, i use this very often on vinyl and Cds.
I know I'm still a Dummie and just getting started... what is used as tinge in modern djing? Are there ways to use mp3s, do djs still use vynils, wand what abou cds? In this videos vynil, and mp3 is used right?
It's a 7" adapter. It's used for the older 7" vinyls. They aren't worth much, so don't worry about it (unless you have 7" singles lying around somewhere)
@kingbob182 its not how evry1 beatmatches. most ppl start with pitch on 0 and listen 2 see wether its faster or slower, and move the pitch accordingly
@MrP00sy ah, k. I just read my comment and it sounds like I'm being a dick. But I was just confused because the only decks Ive had have the bpm on screen.
how can you tell when the song that started faster didn't end up being the slower one if you went too far? that's the problem i have (i can't tell which direction to adjust toward).
@DjRossyDee hes skipping through the track manually, this is usually done to find the first bass beat or whatever you want to cue off of. you haven't got to play it from the edge all the time!
Ok question, so this works for when you are mixing your 1st record with the 2nd. What about next one? U have adjusted the pitch control to match the 1st record so now the 2nd record is playing at lets say 3%. Do you need to take 2nd record back to 0 to start matching the 3rd record?
Sorry this isnt to do with beatmatching, but as you stay in glasgow can you tell me somewhere to get my turntables serviced and repaired that is reliable? I definately dont want to buy new turntables as i love the ones i have. i am so used to them and they feel great. Also alot of the new turntables now look tacky, thanks
@BlinginTom aha. bud theres more to it than "switching songs" thats the basic sayin i guess you could say but a real dj is well rounded, ie scratching, beatmatching, song selection (key, tempo, pitch, vocals, etc)
Its an art really.
Its easy to learn the basics will probably take you a month or two.
But to actually master the art is rarely achieved.
@extrudatinoal its possible to use vinyl, cds or mp3s to mix or any combination. mix theory is still the same. for laptop u would need a controller, or you can just press sync so u don't have to beat match.
@extrudatinoal you dont need records or cd's. would be a wise idea to grab some decks and mixer then use the mp3's on your laptop. even though you dont necessarily need them, its good to learn. you can get a program called serato scratch live. great interface.

hm lol i remember when i first watched this over 2 years ago and beleave it or not it worked like a charm until i mastered the art alough im still not perfect, thanks man, helped alot, ps yekke yekke is a beltin classic
if your beatmatching two tracks and you need a lower pitch to mix the next track , do you bring it back to zero after its mixed or would you normally just leave it cause youll hear the pitch go back up???
@ger101ger101 - you leave the pitch where you needed to put it to match the beats. Otherwise, as you suggest, you'll hear the pitch of the music go up. Even if you've got a Master Tempo control, you'll still make the music play faster if you return to 0 - and if you've found a tempo that people are in the groove with - you don't want to speed it up randomly.
@DJRecess I have a question say you want to mix a very particular part of a track into your set but when you'r moving the platter your going to different parts of the tracks.. so what is it you do to mix a particular part of a track in besides setting a loop ?
@DJRecess I have a similar question as ger101ger101 - you answered, you leave the pitch as it was needed to mix both tracks. But, if a higher pitch is needed, after mixing to the next track, wouldn't it sound a bit "squeaky" ?
@DJNardini - I'm not sure. There's a sign on the door saying it's moved - but I can't seem to find where too! There's a store down St. Enoch direction called Rub-a-Dub that'll probably sort you out though.
@MCDEVVOMAN - If you'd rather use CD's than turntables, that's fine. You're looking for DJ CD decks if you want to use CD's. The unit I use in this video that isn't a turntable (the one up high) is a DJ CD deck. You don't need to get such an expensive one - there's loads out there. Just take a look at your local DJ equipment store for what they sell, and what budget you have, and take it from there.
wow, i randomly searched beamatching after reading dj for dummies and this came up! will there be a new/updated version as not many people spin vinyl or cd nowadays? Also i have a question; what is the minimum quality you should play? i've noticed some cd's i have are 260kbps which isn't great(although they're bought from hmv etc.) and i have some flac and wav that are 1411kbps so what is the lowest quality that won't sound bad at high volume in a club? thank you, you've been a great help.
The book got me through a rough-rough year man, you got me into this shiz, now im luckily enough doing it on a regular basis and making a name(well..-ish)
thanks for the tip, i changed it into making the tune slower and then turning the vinyl with my finger and adjusting the speed because my turntable have a really bad torque and tend to stop quickly when i put my finger on the platter
awesome dude.... when i got my decks years ago i had no internet and nobody to teach me how to get the beats.... and this was the way i learned myself.... i dont use this technique anymore but id well recommend it to beginners as its just a matter of slowly slowing it down untill you find the perfect speed... good video man glad to see this technique up here :)
its how i learned... though i was one of few who used this technique, its good for beginners :) then when there ears are trained they can use better methods
I built it myself. It's just standard wall brackets with a bunch of contiboard built and cut into the unit. I keep meaning to post photos onto my website for a 'how-to' - I'll sort that and get in touch. Glad you like it.
Another tip if your using the 1000's make sure you have master tempo on so if your beat starts to wonder off it doesnt make that woooooop noice when you speeding the track up to get it back to sync.....Nice Vid 2
nothing says this is wrong really i mean its not very practical i'll give you that but he gets it done in good time i'd say. Problem is it takes an acute ear to be able to match it without any tricks but for beginners this would most likely help.
ye dude you can get beats matched in seconds after how many years of practice?? well wouldnt take years but the piont is that this technique is good for beginners as there ears arent as well trained as experienced djs.... the reason this is good for beginners is because its just a matter of bringing back slowly untill they get it near right :) plus this is dead easy to understand ....
@benjiyid - I wasn't. In this video, 'Secretly' was always playing on the CD deck - the first time round I mixed in 'Sacred' from the Turntable, and the second time round, I mixed into 'Yeke Yeke' on the turntable.
this is very helpful. I DJ myself and has my trial and errors like most DJs do. you should consider doing a DJ version of Top gear. haha. anyways, thanks
Functionality. I liked that I could get four decks and built in effects with Traktor, and preferred the output of the Audio 8 hardware.
Since I got it, Serato has improved, and I'm intrigued as to what 'The Bridge' can do with Serato sets, but I think I'd still go for Traktor if I was picking right now.
Serato can be found a bit more than Traktor when it comes to what clubs have 'hard-wired' into their booths, but more clubs don't have ANY install anyway, so I don't let that worry me.
Right i can beatmatch but i cant do it as fast as you yet. Though some songs i can do quicker than others. It just goes to show there are djs who use the platter in conjunction with the pitch slider and those who don't touch the platter. It works both ways. all down to preference. Any tips on how to do it quicker. it takes me about a minute to get them in sync but i can do quicker with certain tracks. cheers!!
I'm sorry to say it's all down to practise, experience and knowing your tunes well. When you've spent a long time working with your tunes, you get to know the sounds they make as they get closer in time. It sounds a bit hokey - but it really just does come easier as time goes on.
Make sure to concentrate on the beats. Try not to be distracted by the rest of the tune, and have confidence when you think you've got the beats locked. If not, it's just a nudge to get them back in time.
Different strokes for different folks I'm afriad. I'm more tactile than the DJs who just use the pitch control. I don't like the thought that I may have found the perfect pitch setting - then lose it by using the pitch control to slow down or speed up the track to get it bang in time with the other.
Just different approaches. I wouldn't say it makes anyone better than the other.
sorry bud maybe i came across too cocky, was just saying i never need to touch the plater i find ur in more control with the pitch than when your touching it. Thats all i have alot of friend,s who touch the platter and if they find it easy,er then thats cool just in my opinion youu dont need to.one,s your in beat u hardly need to touch the pitch again just alittle here and there. i no alot of people mess up more when they touch the deck. but hey man if it work,s for u mate then who am i tojudge
Since DJ's are DJ's and not always producers they use all kinds of music and sound they like to use, but as they mix they create their own sounds/beats from the music and sounds they are using. But many deejays are also producers who creates tracks, vocals and other sounds and effects to use in their mixes. A good beginner software in producing is FL Studio (Fruity Loops). It works also for professionals. I use it alot.
yea yea use the pitch mover thing and they "should" fit together, doesn't always work though, what do you do when the two beats are too different in rhythmic properties to do this? most of my vinal so far other than scan darker and the old school pack do this, and I have no way to link them together because they are just too different.
if the rythmic properties dont coincide then find the breaks of the tracks and jump across them not the choruses, use the EQ set CF slope loose, scratch for filler and fade along the end of a measure. Matching the bpm of 2 similar styled songs and fading between really isnt that hard if you know what it is your doing
the thing is if u don't know if the next tune is faster or slower, u need to prelisten it on ur hp anyway to get it matched before u drop it in - what's the point in settin' the pitch so high, if u still can speed the record or cd up aswell to get it on beat...
good vid i want to start djing but all i can afford is homemix home dj twin mixer with cdg are they any good or am i wasting my time with d cheap mixers
'Waste of time' is a bit harsh, but not far off. Not sure what one it is you're looking at, but often, one of the first problems is that you don't get EQ's for both CD's, just the entire mixer output.
But he main problem is simply future proofing. The CD decks are basic, the mixer is basic - but as it's an all in one unit, you won't be able to upgrade just one of them, you'll have to upgrade it all, then bin it.
Bit of a waste of money if you ask me, unless you'll be happy with it forever.
not really jus know your equipment start with some simple equipment thats not complicated... and play around with it mix some songs and match beats jus like in this video
Question, How come everyone has those decks? Everyone I see at clubs Uses these?

Another tip if your using the 1000's make sure you have master tempo on so if your beat starts to wonder off it doesnt make that woooooop noice when you speeding the track up to get it back to sync.....Nice Vid 2

Well another thing u can consider is that House tracks usually run from 125 to 130 so thats a verry small margin.
Also using just your plain old ears works.
I can beet match without having to do all that in a matter of seconds.
Sheesh ive never seen a DJ take the pitch all the way like that.
If your going to teech do it right!!

nothing says this is wrong really i mean its not very practical i'll give you that but he gets it done in good time i'd say. Problem is it takes an acute ear to be able to match it without any tricks but for beginners this would most likely help.
jezeus420 1 year ago
ye dude you can get beats matched in seconds after how many years of practice?? well wouldnt take years but the piont is that this technique is good for beginners as there ears arent as well trained as experienced djs.... the reason this is good for beginners is because its just a matter of bringing back slowly untill they get it near right :) plus this is dead easy to understand ....

why was he using the same tune on both turntables
benjiyid 1 year ago
@benjiyid - I wasn't. In this video, 'Secretly' was always playing on the CD deck - the first time round I mixed in 'Sacred' from the Turntable, and the second time round, I mixed into 'Yeke Yeke' on the turntable.
Or have I mis-understood your question?

I wish I could afford a pair of 1000's .. ~sigh~ all I got is a CDMP-6000 lol
boycery 2 years ago
Sad thing is, I hardly use the 1000's since going digital. Just 1210's and traktor... I'm in heaven.
The 6000 isn't that bad though - there's a lot worse out there, and not that many all in one units kick it's backside.
DJRecess 2 years ago
what made you go for traktor over serato?
im considering a dcs ans not sure which one to get?
dannybhoy1989 2 years ago
Functionality. I liked that I could get four decks and built in effects with Traktor, and preferred the output of the Audio 8 hardware.
Since I got it, Serato has improved, and I'm intrigued as to what 'The Bridge' can do with Serato sets, but I think I'd still go for Traktor if I was picking right now.
Serato can be found a bit more than Traktor when it comes to what clubs have 'hard-wired' into their booths, but more clubs don't have ANY install anyway, so I don't let that worry me.

Right i can beatmatch but i cant do it as fast as you yet. Though some songs i can do quicker than others. It just goes to show there are djs who use the platter in conjunction with the pitch slider and those who don't touch the platter. It works both ways. all down to preference. Any tips on how to do it quicker. it takes me about a minute to get them in sync but i can do quicker with certain tracks. cheers!!
DJNardini 2 years ago
I'm sorry to say it's all down to practise, experience and knowing your tunes well. When you've spent a long time working with your tunes, you get to know the sounds they make as they get closer in time. It sounds a bit hokey - but it really just does come easier as time goes on.
Make sure to concentrate on the beats. Try not to be distracted by the rest of the tune, and have confidence when you think you've got the beats locked. If not, it's just a nudge to get them back in time.

if your good enough you will find you never have to touch the platter you only need your pitch for beat mixing
gcravenater 2 years ago
Different strokes for different folks I'm afriad. I'm more tactile than the DJs who just use the pitch control. I don't like the thought that I may have found the perfect pitch setting - then lose it by using the pitch control to slow down or speed up the track to get it bang in time with the other.
Just different approaches. I wouldn't say it makes anyone better than the other.
DJRecess 2 years ago
sorry bud maybe i came across too cocky, was just saying i never need to touch the plater i find ur in more control with the pitch than when your touching it. Thats all i have alot of friend,s who touch the platter and if they find it easy,er then thats cool just in my opinion youu dont need to.one,s your in beat u hardly need to touch the pitch again just alittle here and there. i no alot of people mess up more when they touch the deck. but hey man if it work,s for u mate then who am i tojudge

i want to know how you get the sound...
the beat
dj's go get it from other musics?
how do you compose? i want to try but i dont get it
bagoh14 2 years ago
@bagoh14 If your talking about composing your own tracks have a read about music programs; Reason, Logix and FL Studio.
Xyanide37 2 years ago
Since DJ's are DJ's and not always producers they use all kinds of music and sound they like to use, but as they mix they create their own sounds/beats from the music and sounds they are using. But many deejays are also producers who creates tracks, vocals and other sounds and effects to use in their mixes. A good beginner software in producing is FL Studio (Fruity Loops). It works also for professionals. I use it alot.
djperryboy 2 years ago
yea yea use the pitch mover thing and they "should" fit together, doesn't always work though, what do you do when the two beats are too different in rhythmic properties to do this? most of my vinal so far other than scan darker and the old school pack do this, and I have no way to link them together because they are just too different.
answer = buy more?
KKinsane2009 2 years ago
if the rythmic properties dont coincide then find the breaks of the tracks and jump across them not the choruses, use the EQ set CF slope loose, scratch for filler and fade along the end of a measure. Matching the bpm of 2 similar styled songs and fading between really isnt that hard if you know what it is your doing

djnomisdaboss 2 years ago
the thing is if u don't know if the next tune is faster or slower, u need to prelisten it on ur hp anyway to get it matched before u drop it in - what's the point in settin' the pitch so high, if u still can speed the record or cd up aswell to get it on beat...

riain01 2 years ago
'Waste of time' is a bit harsh, but not far off. Not sure what one it is you're looking at, but often, one of the first problems is that you don't get EQ's for both CD's, just the entire mixer output.
But he main problem is simply future proofing. The CD decks are basic, the mixer is basic - but as it's an all in one unit, you won't be able to upgrade just one of them, you'll have to upgrade it all, then bin it.
Bit of a waste of money if you ask me, unless you'll be happy with it forever.

Thinking of it too.
Theres a lot involved but you could practice with virtual DJ.
What's interesting is the groves on the record, it makes it easy to locate key places in the song.
