Worst thing you can do in DJ is depend on something having to be the same every time you play.

I always try and cover up the WAV display when I'm using Serato. Basically forcing myself to just use my ears as i know the day I get up in front of some CDJ's i'll only have my ears to depend on.

Just advice i've read on here many many times..


yea your right, but ive not played in a gig yet, ill try covering the displays up, seeing how brutal ill get lol

Nah, just use one headset to listen to both channels.

I dont know if this is a good or bad way to be mixing but its just how i learnt... and most of the time i do some pretty good mixing with no drifting


if you can't beatmatch by ear then i doubt you can tell whether there is any drifting or not.

and to the OP: have more respect for your audience (and yourself) than playing out before you are ready.

That used to be the normal way (cue in one ear, listen to the monitors with the other). I think it changed though?
