Ellaskins, your "Riding the pitch" videos taught me how to mix when I was a young buck with a pair of 1200s and a handful of records. For this, I cannot express my appreciation to you ... please accept my million "THANKS" ... thank you, thank you for showing me how to keep my fingers on the pitch! Благодаря ти адски много, батко! Да си жив и здрав!

Great video even 17 years on

52 sec in & he already is telling the truth....Feelin this

I wonder people say , jaw i can match in 20 sec.. Yes what is match to you. leave it and its out in 4 sec again. This guy is a master in this, and to lock it perfectly took him 40 sec.

I like the way you explain, pleasure to watch, thanks for your vids!

Your interpretation is the best interpretation 🌻🌻👾👾🎧

Great tutorial. I recommend all young djs to ride the fader.

try getting two of the same song, one on each deck, then match one into the other, when they are in time they will make just the one song, rather than the clashing of two songs. this helps to get your head around beatmatching.

great help again.u make it look easy!!!!.thanks

With the sl1200 mk 2 you find that close to the green light there is not much change in the speed of the turntable/pitch, so yes it is the same.

if you mean gear, i had a cheep set of turntablesin an all in one boxwith a pitch about 3cm long! it was hard.

of course!

i have a set of citronic dc-1x not the best in the world , but they do the job!

@lonel99 you have to understanmd 4 to the floor for ex house music and most music flows in patterns of 4 some dont u have to research

@poznanski666 wow, it's amazing to see my question of 4 years ago being replied today! Cheers!

@BalanceAuto I had those turntables and your right,Best thing to do is when you get close to the pitch you gotta keep fuckin withit with your fingers to get the Right Match,My suggestion is get some Tecnics 1200 you should be able to get a good deal on some used ones

Temple of dreams, i fell in love with that song when i was about 8 hahaha

Perhaps it will not last as much, but whats better a good mix or beats going off all the time??? johnathan

youre very good man:)

@lonel99 Sometimes records twice or half etc the tempo of the other record can sometimes mix but generally yeah, you need the same BPM

Question, I'm confused do I play the new track live and then blend it. Or blend it in cue then play it live.

yeah man i do the pitch like that aswel but i always mes with the plater to i was brought up doing that lol its in my bloooddd what ever works best for everyperson i guess :)

if i play a hip hop song on one side, and a ballard on the other, will they groove? i mean the drum beats are like totally different. I'm very amateur at these and i'm having a big time making the sounds sync.

Yes :)

to lonel99, you need to make sure the bpm, beats per min are the same! j

prbly the most important thing is to 1) have records at same within +-1/2 bpm or 2) know what the bpm differences are before hand... then beatmatching is alot easier especially this riding the pitch shit

il ove your tutors but will you keep your fingers down pls.

i have gemini cdm 360os and i have literally just started djing but they dnt have bpm counters so i find it very hard to beat match any tips? thanks!

Is it possible to beat match between a 45 on deck A and a 12" on deck b?

Hmm, is it ok to use BPM counters sometimes? :P

Does this go the same for CD's...?

I RIDE THE PITCH ON MY 1210s, BUT IM FINDING IT HARD TO RIDE THE PITCH ON MY NEW CDJ 400, CAN YOU RIDE THE PITCH ON CDJ 400?

Sick, I'm a toucher and nudger, I'm going to hit this hard!!

I bet you have some good points, but for christ sakes use some punctuation so we can understand you!

Yeah, get vinyl decks and learn how to phrase mix. BPM counters are effectively useless in the real world. The sooner you understand that and remove the need for being dependent on them (by not having them there in the first place) the faster you will learn where to start your "mix in" record and keep it in time.

No it isn't. BPM Counters are completely useless. In my experience when teaching people to DJ (on vinyl because digital djing is for loosers who need BPM counters) BPM counters only confuse them because they get locked into the idea that just because the BPM is the same means that a track should be "mixed" at that point. There is no substitute for learning how to properly cue, release and transition on proper count phrases.
