| When you mix in headphones only at gigs.... You use two different headphones right?.. One for the beatmatching and one for the transition?.... Or am I making this up? :P .... Cause I often see them up there using diff. phones... |

| +1, I also mix in the headphones anyway. I don't even use split cue... for some reason, I seem to do best with the tracks slamming all over each other in the headphones until I get them sounding like one track. |

I've tried it with both tracks playing fully and just puts me off, then again I learn't beat-matching and whatnot with split cue so I guess its just what you're used to :) |

first rule of dj club... don't suck
second rule of dj club... DON'T SUCK
whatever you do to get the tracks beatmatched and sounding good together, just make it happen and don't suck, there is no wrong way and no right way, just do it how you do it and do it well, but be versatile and know how to do it all ways |

I dont use headphones at all most of the time.... I mean yea i cue a track using the headphones but then i mix/blend in the next track without headphones, i just get the bpm speeds (display on pioneer cdjs)the same and depending on the tempo difference i just gently spin the jog wheel in which ever direction is needed as per tempo difference...
I dont know if this is a good or bad way to be mixing but its just how i learnt... and most of the time i do some pretty good mixing with no drifting |

What do you do when there's no BPM display? |

Cover up the BPM meters..
Worst thing you can do in DJ is depend on something having to be the same every time you play.
I always try and cover up the WAV display when I'm using Serato. Basically forcing myself to just use my ears as i know the day I get up in front of some CDJ's i'll only have my ears to depend on.
Just advice i've read on here many many times.. |
