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.. |
yea your right, but ive not played in a gig yet, ill try covering the displays up, seeing how brutal ill get lol |

Nah, just use one headset to listen to both channels. |

Why do I see them shift between different headsets then? |

Because they broke the other one? :D
Show me video please, because I've never seen dj's switch headphones while mixing. |

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 |
if you can't beatmatch by ear then i doubt you can tell whether there is any drifting or not.
and to the OP: have more respect for your audience (and yourself) than playing out before you are ready. |

That used to be the normal way (cue in one ear, listen to the monitors with the other). I think it changed though? |
