LOL at the guys saying that you can't learn beatmatching within hours. You can. I've seen multiple people do it within 2 hrs. Why is it impossible? Obviously some of you couldn't though hehehe, does that frustrate you?

In fact when I first tried dj-ing (vinyl) about 2/3 years ago at a friends place, I got beatmatching down within 2 hrs as well. Of course it's not spot on and you need to learn about correction and stuff, but the basic idea is there, and that's what he is about. It's an entry level course most likely, you don't come out as [FILL IN POPULAR/COOL/GOOD DJ HERE] after taking the course.

You know those 2 things aren't opposites right? The one actually follows the other? Your laughing implies you don't.

It's all about how it works, you can refine the skills once you have gotten a hold of the basics. These kinds of courses can be fun and informative to some, to get a grasp at learning the basics you know . I'm just saying plain beatmatching isn't hard at all, especially when you've got somebody to tell you how it works. Just because you couldn't get it done the first day doesn't mean others can't either.

wrong. they are the same thing. being able to get beats in time and keep them there IS what beatmatching is. your statement is nonsense.

yeah, some people are just good at things. but they didnt get "good" at something by sitting a 2 hour course. understand the debate before you start arguing against things i haven't said.

So be it, we disagree. I would say if somebody gets a track straight for the first 32 beats within an hour or 2 he's doing very well and I would even dare say it's beatmatching. A matter of putting things in perspective I guess.

I actually recorded my first promo mix in my third/4th hour of mixing (first day I got my cdj's). That mix got me in a gig with Menno de jong, Sied van Riel, Guiseppe Ottaviani (Nu-NRG), John O' Callaghan and more, so you guys go ahead and laugh . That's the exact reason why I disagree with you.
