did you mean $200? cuz djmart.com has behringer djx700s for $200. i just bought mine from guitar center for $160, but it's gonna take another week to get here...cuz behringer is backstocked them by selling more units than they actually had produced |

| I meant euro... i know in USA prices are low... but here in Europe it's not so low as there, if i buy mixer built in USA, i got to connect it to a swedish voltage via an adapter... |

what the hell is a BPM mixing chart?
if you're referring to a chart that has a list of BPMs and crossreferences to the different %pitch changes to go to another BPM, then you're wasting your time as it's just a simple math equation.
if you want to speed up the beats of a song to match the track that is playing, then the equation is:
%pitch = (BPM of track currently playing)/(BPM of track you want to mix)
if you want to slow down the record to match the speed of the track that is playing, then the equation is:
%pitch = (BPM of track currently playing)/(BPM of track you want to mix) -1. remember to subtract the 1 as that will you give you a negative and indicates that you need to go in the negative pitch direction |

thank you :). That was exactly what I was looking for. Vinyl File sells BPM mixing charts and I thought that there would be something simular on the net. But given this equation I can make my own. thanks a lot :) |

I just want to know what do I need in my PC to put some tracks together. I dont care if its not gonna sound REALLY good. Its just 4 fun!!! Can you help me? Thats all, thanks for you time. |
Those programs are great for recording, as well as sequencing.
But if your looking to mix tracks together in a DJ sense. You should try
Ableton live - by far the best loop sequencer, as well as DJ style program. www.ableton.com
Traktor - I haven't spent much time with this software but I do use Final Scratch which uses a toned down version. www.traktor.com
Mixmeister - This software was developed by some friends of mine. Awesome. www.mixmeister.com
Good Luck |
