Originally posted by IKKI-ZVUK First of all lasT week I wanted to burn my turntables yesterday I almost trow them up the window maybe today I try to run over them with me car anyway I started spinning like a 2 weeks ago and I used to use the BPM until someone told me not to, and gave me some good reasons not to use it . I need you guys to let me and to answer my questions Please . When I'm beatmaching I mean trying to beatmatch because I'm pretty bad at it sometimes I get a perfect beatmatch but as soon as I start bringing the song in, the tempo changes and it sounds horrible, I mean sometimes I get the two record on a perfect beatmatch but is just for like 10 secs, Is that normal? or Am I making some mistake ? How come some DJs can keep to songs on a perfect beatmach for more 40 sec . I practice 2-3 hours every single day and I haven't gotten the beatmatch , SO please help me !!!

This is normal.. Everyone who DJs has gone through the frustration of not being able to keep the beats in time.. Practice.. Don't just cue the track, drop it in, and get frustrated.. Practice dropping the track in.. Also, if you cue the track 8 bars early and drop it 8 bars earlier in the track, but don't bring it in live (just listen in your headphones and get it in time), then when it comes in live it will be on the beat (provided you've got it matched) .. I'm not very good at expressing myself with this, if I was standing next to you when you were spinning I could help!

as said starting out does suck. not to make you feel bad but when i got my first tt's it took me about 2-3 weeks and i was straight with my mixes, but i also had been spinning with cd's about a year before that so im guessing thats why i pick it up so fast. but when you do get the hang of riding on the wheels of steel it just comes natural from then on out. good luck and dont quit.

Indeed don't quit, i spin 4 a 2.5 years now .. sometimes it's still crap, but at least it's getting better and better from day 1 till day 780 .. but of all does days it where 300 painfull days, but i didn't stop and look at me now .... i still suck ... hehe no just joking don't quit if you practice alot you get the hang of it in 3 or 4 months, with beatmatching

First of all thank you sooo much guys !
I've been doing what you guys have told me and it's working I just need to keep practicing anyway I have another question now !
I have a Behringer 300 mixer and I can split two song on my headphones, Listen to channel 1 on the right side of my headphones and listen to channel 2 on the left side of my headphones (that's what I've been doing, it's easier for me to reconize which one it's going faster or slower) or listen to both of them at the same time right and left side w/o splitting them. what way should I do it? I mean I don't want to learn it in a way that will f*ck my up later on when I start working in a club.

There's no right or wrong way about that, if I understood you correctly. Just do what feels right. When you have them beatmatched, and cued, if it's tight, you can drop the headphones down on your neck if you want. Some people I know keep half a cup on one ear with both tunes playing in it, or the incoming track playing on it. I do a bit of both, sometimes I have both tunes in one ear playing listening to the monitor with my other ear, other times I just drop them and leave them on my neck.

If your beatmatching isn't spot on, it might be better to play the incoming track in one ear more than the current tune, so you can do some adjustments on the fly. But, whatever works for you

I kinda agree with that.
Just, don't give up, after a while(depends on haw fast you learn is, can be days, weeks, months or even years) you'll immedialtely feel howmuch you need to adjust the pitch. But, this isn't really something you can learn in a day or something. It's an experience and that experience is accieved by hours of practising. But it also has to be maintained, When you don't spin for 2 weeks, you have already lost a pretty big part of your abilities. There are only 3 tips I can give you: Don't give up, only go stand behind your TTs when you feel the need to spin some records, and, the most important of them all: You should ALWAYS like what you're doing.

I just love what I do ! I really suck right now but I don't really care because that's what I love the most. When I'm behind the TT's it feels like I'm in heaven !
