Beatmatching with a NO-Bass track

I have a problem bringing in a track that starts off with NO bass beats.
Sometimes it sounds ok, but other it does not. And then eventually when the beat kicks in its way off. How do you guys take care of this??? |

Maybe check what time the beat kicks in in ms and seconds and adjust accordingly? |

| skip to where the beat comes in, beat match it from then on and you'll know its correct when you go to mix :) |

| what you're talking about is almost impossible or pure luck. Mixing an intro tune into another is quite tuff. |

i figured...
damn i thought u "experts" had some kind of trick :p
EDIT: actually how about this....If using Traktor or some software i could just beatmatch with the part that has a beat and then just beatjump back to the beginning....would this work? |

| just beatmatch in your cans with the other elements of the track besides the bass? the secret trick is using your ears |

Not impossible as you can get a good beatmatch through a breakdown which is a similar as one track isn't playing any beats. Make sure the intro is properly phrased & you should be able to do it. The hard part is launching the track at the perfect point when you have no beats to line up as you'll get some galloping beats if you don't get it spot on :) You could always do what TazZ-erT said & beatmatch from the first beat then re-cue from the start of the track. |

awesome!
thanks for all the advice everyone! |

| or then you could do a re-edit of the track and putting some beats before the intro (you have to check that they're phrased correctly though). then just beatmatch it normally and bring it in after the beats you added have ended. should work like a charm if you've done the re-editing right and beatmatched it well. |

no way is it impossible, as already said, use other elements of the track, ie: the hats or the claps (claps would probly be safest in this situation as the generally play on each beat)
the key is knowing ur tracks... teach ur ears where the beats of the track would be so u can match them with the playing track... most of all - practise! |
