So here is my next barrage of questions for everyone
1) Im learning to beatmatch on some pretty crazy records. like Hard Trance, hard house, crazy nearly HHC style n shit like that. Should I go get something slower with a more distinct bassline ie THUMP THUMP THUMP
as opposed to the
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP
that im going with now? |
Might help..but I learned at 150 bpm, as well.

2) Does the fact that im workin on Belt drive make a difference? Im sure it does, cuz the plate stops, and then it starts and then everthing is WAY off. So will it make a huge difference? |
It does make a difference, but it shouldn't keep you from beatmatching. I'm still using a table that is direct drive but also stops cause it has a weak magnet.

4) Will my habit of EQ work (which I will always have to do for work, there is no pitch control) make it harder for me to learn? Like breaking a 'bad' habit? |
WHAT? there is no pitch control? how do you wanna beatmatch? or are you talking about the pitch control that some CD decks have to leave the notes the same when speeding up a record. If the second option is correct, stop messing with the EQ (except bass), it'll distract you from keeping the records matched.
By the way, it's not bad when they become out of sync while you are in the mix. This happens, you just need to learn to hear which one is in front/behind and do the corrections very carefully. If you got a good ear, you can hear this happening in PvD/ Tiesto sets as well
keep working. did you read my post? I didn't let anyone listen to me mix for over a year!
