having some problems with beatmatching (pg. 2)
View this Thread in Original format

Instead of using the first sound or the middle of the track, I use the first bass beat. Some tracks have the main bass beat going from the very first beat, while others have an intro that you have to "fast forward" to the first beat. Ultimately, as a dj, you have to descide on your track order. There are some transitions that are very difficult, and others that seem to flow naturally. As a dj, you have to practice and make the tracks work together.

I think what steve is sayin is that, when tryin to beatmatch the track don't start it at the begining, instead go more towards the middle of the track where you have all the sounds goin and it might be alittle bit easier to match the track then. How does that sound Steve? Did I say what you wanted to say ?


Heh, that's it! When you have more sounds, you can choose 1 and concentrate on ti to have a smooth beatmatch! :D

an established local dj once told me, if it has a beat, you can mix it, no matter what it is, as long as it has a structered beat


That's the reason that Metal/rock DJs don't exist, their music doesn't have a structured beat! ;)

Hell yeah, you need a lot of practicing! Trust me! The more you practice, the more satisfied you'll be with your mixing skills thereafter! :o

Do not beat match songs that has a break beat in the begining. Especially if your a newbie. Stick with the basics.
