| Make sure you can phrase match too, I suppose. |

^^..don't you mean phase?
I'd say the next thing is to be able to tweak the EQs well enough to be able to make a seamless transition.
I acquired that before beatmatching... now I gotta catch up. |

| It's phrase, you do have to catch up ;) |

| Learned how to beatmatch? Get mixing! it's the only way to improve, just mix tunes day and night, try new stuff and experiment with new techniques...don't forget to make heavy use of your EQs :p |

| i don't think that you can ever completely learn how to beatmatch, its always going to be trial and error...you get better, but it will never be perfect!!!! next try to match phrases, then get to the eq'ing...good luck! |

thats just like saying... "i learned how to drive... now what"
now use it to go somewhere and do soemthing... do whatever you want theres like a world of possibility
you can get to places from many different directsions and many different ways. so just figure out the way you want to get there and how you want to get here...and get good at it. and then start exploring new roads and using those experiences to help you with your overall journey |

Congratulations, but since you've learned beatmatching by your standards, how about you post some of your mixes (and not ones that you've practiced for months to get perfect etc) and let us critique you. That is going to be the best way to find out how you can improve upon your techniques.
Also, after beatmatching, you'll need to learn a LOT of other things. Phrase matching was already mentioned, but there is also gain structure, set composition, track order. Timing when you mix in and out and making sure that everything is in phrase is the basis for where you should start. You can read up on this all over the web. Look in the noob thread here and there are plenty of links on the first couple posts that can let you read up on what you should be learning next. Get books--How to DJ Right by Bill brewster and some other guy has been reviewed and highly recommended on here and other forums. I have it and it is a great book.
After that, then start to make whole sets, record them and listen to them. Figure out what needs to get better and listen and compare to pro djs too. Once you start making sets, submit them to online radio stations or post them up here so that you can get more critiques etc.
Most of all, keep at it because you won't stop improving. |
