Almost have it

Almost have matching down. This is going to sound dumb. But it sounds matched but not perfect. Rough beats. I no longer hear beats trailing behind one another. But neither is it truly perfectly matched. There any tips to help this? I'm hearing about a technique called Pitch bending. Will this method help me?

yeah. 'pitch bending' is also known as many other things, like riding the pitch, pitch sliding, etc. basically if one song is just a little bit off, then just slide it forward a bit, and then bring it back to its original position (but a tiiiny bit higher). it does take some practice, but once its mastered.. damn those mixes sound so sweet. good luck mate

Some beats just will not sound all that great over each other - even when they are matched up perfectly. Sometimes basslines can cancel each other out and other times they can amplify each other. Nudging one record slightly slower or faster (without messing with the pitch) is a solution that works sometimes. You will see what I am talking about the more you play with it.
