At least that's how i've always thought of it but it's probably from using MixMeister. The BPMs on MixMeister has decimal points so going from something at 137.9 to 138 to me sounds fine. So you could increase the track your playing from 120 to 120.6 in the middle of the mix and then play the next track at 121? |
thats one idea yes. but basically, all given advice comes down to this; when a track is playing, or during breakdowns; pitch it up. or a bit different; mix like tiesto in the breakdown. thnx for all the advice, but basically this is all the same, at least thats what it seems to me. it all comes down to incremently pitching a track up bit by bit, so nobody hears a difference ... whne you play some 10 or 20 tracks, you can easily go from 120 to 140 by these incremental steps ... right?

It will work fine, just change the pitch of one of the tracks to match the other. |
only will work i think if you pitch up the out-going track ...

Yeah I mean sometimes it seems like i'm mixing in a track at 130 and it's really close to 131 and I play the next track at 131 and it seems fine (yeah I may need to do some pitch bending sometimes or do some minor corrections but no biggy). With all of the %1.45, %1.50, %2.35, %3.25 etc etc pitch wouldn't it be hard to not do that because there doesn't always seem like a huge difference between something pitched at %1.50 to something at %1.60. I dunno if it's just me but I have trouble telling a difference on some tracks, but when it goes down to say %1.30 from %1.50 or %1.60 then I hear a little difference, but all of those percentage points make it difficult sometimes to tell if it's exactly pitched right even if I think it is from listening...and then you get into %1.52, %1.53, %1.54 etc. I mean do you have to be THAT accurate?? because it starts to get confusing when you have all of those decimal points on CDJs... |
i think one is accurate enough, when a mix between 2 songs is adequately beatmatched, sounds seemless without any major bumps or beats that are out of the rythm ... thats what matters, not what BPM-counters tell you. next to that, dont look at bpm-counters during mixing. you become a better mixer/dj when yuo do it without the help of those things. in the begin they're handy, but later you dont have to trust them, you must be able to do it on your own. next to that, those things arent always right. it occasionally happens to me that i mix a track from 135 to 137 bpm, simply because the bpm is not accurate, or very slow to give new updates on the bpm-count ...

mix during a breakdown
or just tiesto slam into the next track
use fx to pitch up one of the tracks to the track thats 140 and mix into the track thats 140 |
can you please explain a bit morewhat you've wrote in the first part of your reply; mixing during breakdown?
and btw, i dont have an fx machine/device, so cant do that sir
