Depends on the speed you play the other record doesn't it? There is no standard setting for the pitch.
And besides, you can never match two records during the length of the full song, no matter what turntables you have. You will almost always have to adjust the speed a little during a mix, to get the records back in line again. You don't need the pitchfader for that, although some dj's are used to doing it like that. I just use my fingers (gently, please...) to speed up or slow down a record for making minor adjustments.
BTW pooley, for how long have you been spinning? |

YOu guys don't get it.
Let it die.
I've done some great mixes, I know how to play with the pitch, I know how to mix etc etc but I just couldn't mix these 2, that's all.
I know when I trainwreck, I play with the records ...
All those smartass comments, I just asked if the BPM's I got after going through some bpm counter were correct... |

| Another thing, you probably got the bpm from a bpm counter or something. Those are never acurate in the first place. Lets say a song has a kick than a snare, the bpm counter doesn't always count just the kick or snare, it may count both thus counting the song faster than it actually is. Just kill your bpm counter or at least tape over it's screen so you won't match the numbers. |

if you simply want to get the BPM of the records try just counting it out
count the beats for 10 sec. and multiply by 6 |

Well, pooley, all i can say is this. Theres no way cern - the message is 142.7 bpm. I dont use bpm's strictly for matching beats and stuff, just use my ears like a few other peeps said, but i mark all my records with the approximate bpm just so i know when i pull it out of my box, the approximate position of where the pitch control will need to be, then fine tune with my ears.
I got Cern at about 140bpm
Hope this helps! |

What does the bpm that atomixmp3 tells you have to do with your mixing?
I'm so lost.
That's why you got all those "smart ass" remarks, because your question makes no sense from the standpoint of how you're supposed to mix, and unless i'm misunderstanding something you obviously have not been mixing long or you'd know that the two tracks could very easily be matched to the tenth of the bpm and still be drifting like mad.
So are you mixing by ear or by math? Then i might be able to help you. |

First ear but I couldn't find the right spot on my pitch.
Then I tried by knowing the bpm's and that worked somehow (thx to stilsy)
Al though I have to adjust every few sec s:) |

This is pretty funny.
So FS tells me it is 142... but the TFS BPM calculator is total garbage its probably wrong. |
