I think this is because most house tracks are at 128BPM so its pretty straight forward and... a quick tip for beginners here:) :
If you're playing a song at 128BPM and the song you'd like to bring in is at 127BPM you'll be looking around +0.7 on your pitch slider. For a track at 129BPM try -0.7 on your pitch slider.IMO beat-matching house is extremely easy.. but this is only one area when it comes to mixing well. |

| How would you even do that anyways, change all your bpms the same for every song...? I only see you being able to do that in Ableton no...? |

| there is plenty of software out there for that, with ableton you seem to lose less quality but you still lose quite a bit. |

Maybe you could pre-record the mixes while you're at it. |
how does pre-recording tempos differ from using ableton or traktor with beat sync? |

how does beatmatching differ with anything else but records.
cdj is easier than ableton because you don't have to do that gay warping thing. |

| the only reason to do this is if you cant beatmatch. if you cant beatmatch, you have no place doing a set in front of paying customers. |

I know an assload of working DJs who all burn their CDs at the same bpm. |

| I don't really understand why you would, but I guess you could and I wouldn't really care either way. |

Depend how you like to mix.
If you like to play song alone, like 6 min of song alone for a 8 min song, then you can still beatmatch yourself.
If you want to do 2-3 min mixing with 2 songs, with 6 min song, using effect, scratch etc, get your song at same bpm if you are not fast at beatmatching could be a good thing for you.
Like it was said before, if you have a track at 128.00, you need to put it ~ +0,81 to get it at 129.00 (i figured this out after some weeks of using serato).
People which says that beatmatching is the essence of mix didnt understand what mixing is. Beatmatching is , waste of time. The important thing is how people like your music, not how you do it.
But this is an important step of learning how to mix, cause you are training your ears. |
