Digitally, Mike is right. If they are at EXACTLY the same bpm they will never drift.(Maybe after thousands of years or something) However, It there are two tunes pressed on vinyl at the same bpm they WILL drift because of the inevtiable innacuracies of turntables.
And honestly, as long as it isnt a pre-recorded set, who gives a if he changes the bpm. thats him taking the time or paying someone to take the time to make your experience better. No ups behind the decks.
, more djs do this than you think.
I'd do it, but im too lazy. |
I'd figure that was the case if it's done digitally or on a computor, but if it on a regular cdj, that not the case. |

when I first started DJing I only had CDs
I had a trick to help me beatmatch
I used to assign a certain bpm to a track (135.0 BPM)
I would play that track at 0% pitch
Select your next song you want to mix and adjust the pitch to get exact (if possible) beatmatch
note the pitch adjustment of the second track (let's say its at +1,3%)
Now wrote down the BPM of your second track as 135.0+1.3 = 136.3BPM
136.3 is not the real BPM but when ever you want to mix this song with another one... you just calculate the difference between the number and that represent how much you need to set your pitch for those 2 tracks
136.3 and 134.5 means 1.8% pitch difference
compare another track with the 135 BPM as it will be your reference for your entire collection
some of you might think its cheap to do that... but it will force you to practice your beatmatch skills
you will soon be able to set your tracks at the right pitch in no time.
I stopped doing that when I started to play with vinyls and with TTs pitch precision I sometimes mix songs that are in sync for a good minute without having to touch anything.
morale of the story... practice is good for you :toothless |

Yeah. With the bpm counter as a ballpark figure, its really pretty easy.
So when Tiesto says he sucks because he "has" to use CDJs...thats like the biggest :wtf: ever :p |
