  • The Tip below is not always accurate either but it helps to beatmatch fast and get closer to the perfect accurate speed just sometimes you might have to add .02 or less .02 etc., that's when your hearing comes in to help, that's why it's important to train your ears since it is impossible to Accurately Beatmatch on just looking @ BPM numbers.

  • I agree that you have to train your ear to beatmatch since Music is a hearing Art and the original DJ craft was based on Vinyls without BPM counters. But like you said when you are becoming nervous and you are mixing for your life, you can look at your BMPs, CDj's are not 100% accurate so here's a little tip to help you...go by Eights.

    First track = 130.00 BPM Second Track=129.00 now on the second track add .08 and it should be exactly 130 BPM matched. +.08 = 1BPM +.16= 2 BPMs Etc. :)

  • Nice to see / hear a dj saying the way to learn is with your ears . When I started Djing We didn't hav BPM counters just are ears and mind .

  • Very good tutorial ;d

  • 2:59 LOL at beats per minit

  • awesome advise / tip. thanks a lot!

    but a little tip for ur next tutorials ( if ure gonna do some more): dont repeat urself as much as u did in this video :) a little bit of reputation is awesome, but not too much :)

  • @TheMuffinSwordsman he uses 2x cdj 400 and djm 400 all pioneer.

  • What equipment you using man and any useful tips on how to start up?

    Cheers!
