| I was just thinking that a beatcounter is more versatile as a beatcount guesstimator - you get the general idea of what BPM the track should be at and get the fine little details of matching afterwards. |

That's why i trust the numark's beat counter over the pioneer. Either way, it's not a good idea to use bpm counters while mixing. |

| I've been known to use a tap counter to catalogue my records but I don't bother getting the exact BPM. Thats what your ear is for. I don't like even looking at the BPM counters on mixers while I'm using them it messes with my beatmatching. |

| They can't be as bad as the TTX1 BPM counters :( |

| We should all agree that bpm counters suck in general. They're only useful when sorting records. |

| I usually tap the BPM for effects but then again I don't spin any 4 to the floor styles its all brokenbeat. |

My beatmatching skill isnt perfect yet but I would like to start mixing in more records in my sets..like 1 every 2 mintues. |
a new song every 2 minutes? what exactly are you planning to spin

although most breakbeat uses 4/4 time signature.
try not to use bpm counters for beatmatching & mixing. youd be faster marking the bpms on each of your records so you know the general direction to pitch them

Thats why I find it easier to tap in the tempo manually than to wait for the DJM to find the peaks and calculate the BPM. |
