| hey ive found alot of top djs are really good at like throwing the cued track in when there is no bassline on the track playing out and then when the bassline finally hits hes cued it perfectly! i was just wondering how the do you do that :D as you have no coparison in your phones or anything to judge whether your cued record needs a nudge or something! is it just practice practice practics! :(? |

hehe, in my experience just practice :)
i occassionaly land a mix like this.. you just get a feel for what sounds right and as you get better you just KNOW the bass is gunna land properly... or hope :)
good luck with it |

| Yeah i know what you are talking about. I practice this between Sasha -Befast and James HOlden - I have put out the light. It sounds reaall tight when I get lucky and pull it off correctly. |

| Yeah if you listen good, you'll still hear the rhytmic pattern. It just takes a little bit of concentration. |

| IMO, I think it's easy to match vocals to a cued beat.. I can always hear it no problems.. |

it's all about feel, but when i help ppl learn this stuff i tell em...
after the melody on the song playing when the beats kick in, count 64 beats, usually the melody plays twice in this time, on the 65th beat there will be a crash and you should release the new tune on that beat on the 1st proper beat on the new tune. That is only a general rule of thumb, it will not work every time, but has helped a few of my m8s understand the cueing principle ;)
Good luck m8 :)

I agree that it's all about feeling the rythym in your head even when there's no beat..more importantly, though, for the cue-ing timing to be absolutely perfect, you have to know exactly how fast or how slow the decks will spin once you release the record, because once you do so there's no turning back- the first bassline would have already been released on the speakers.
Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? :D |

| Even if there's no bassline then there's usually some sort of rhythm you can match the beats of the incoming track to. If there really isn't - just strings or something, then you can never be quite that it's going to be perfect. In that situation you could put the record in while there is some rhythm and have faith that your beatmatching is good enough to keep it tight until it comes back :) |

| count the beats as you would normally do and even when it enters the breakdown keep counting, try tapping your foot in time to the beats this should make it easier IMO! and with practice and a good sense of timing ie the ability to hear when the tracks pattern changes! you should be able to get the beats pretty accurate, just remember you will probably have to just ride the pitch as your mixing to get the beats spot on! |
