........... I got nothing

I think this guy thinks that if you know the bpms of two tracks, you can pull out your little calculator (not a metaphor for penis) and calculate how much pitch change you need. Then you can get exactly that pitch change on the slider and you're done.

Of course, no one carries a little calculator, you can't get a precise percentage change on a slider, and even then if the deck's a bit worn out it means that you'll still be a bit off and need to............ beatmatch.

I do think it would be hilarious to see a dj in the booth with a pad and pen doing long division though

Even if he thinks using it as a rough guide to how much you need to change is cheating, as soon as you hear two tracks you generally have a rough idea how much you need to change anyway (say to within 1%, which is probably about the same as you could get in your head by calculating two numbers)



besides, theres much more to djing than beatmatching

Here in the UK we have things called CDs. And recently we started using CD decks, that give you a 100% accurate percentage reading of the pitch range.

ah, but he said there were stickers on the "cover". Now I took that to mean record covers, as not many djs would have individual covers for CDs. If the dj was flicking through his CD book, he wouldn't have said "cover", but rather a reference to the book


I speak so much shit when I'm tired
