Jamie Clarke it’s easy dojng this when it’s on a 4 beat, try doing this with drum and bass or something, I tried and wrestled the tune in beat after about 2 mins, it’s really hard

@@drakevevo3710 Its the same on dnb you just match the snare.

@@jacobparkinson235 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbR5fZdhsN-9oGg.html Try matching the snares on that buddy. It aint easy, with these styles sometimes you have to just kinda match the groove so to speak. It took me a long time to manage to ride the pitch to 90% match. For me on tunes like the one ive linked, i have to just ever so slighlty nudge the platter to fine tune it to 100%

right on the real OG men are able to do this but even in the middle of a breakdown or vocal section

@@jacobparkinson235 i reckon he's not talking about commercial-edm-influenced-jumpuppy-or-rastavocalist (do people actually call this jungle!?) club n bass trash with just some snare. *imagine a police car * (unzee techno jahh) *chasing a crossbiker* (skizofrenic concrete-shattering amen-break disaster) *on a mountain desert track.* (let's say on a pair of those numark beltdrive vacuuum cleaners) *now, every single bump or crack* (grooves) *on the track he's flying past with terrifying speed would shoot a kick or two followed by THE snare together with her beautiful offspring.* (big up the ghosts from mr.winston!) this is where you die hard or you don't kids (hi i'm a 19 y/o stonerkid thinking he can sound like a true Oldskool Ghettoman who just found out what a keyboard is)

try mixing jungle

+T0mB1ll you've gotta learn that instinct... as to if an incoming track is faster or slower than the currently playing track.

@@DJRickDawson Still tricky but getting there !!! a few years of practice and it wont be hard anymore =D

@@alvaritowdiesel1 How this going btw lol?

+JUKE179r ONLY THE BEST WILL DO!!!! RELIEF RECORDS KICKS A55!!!

ellaskins Yes Sir!!!!

those are concordes. there's a lot of opinions going around, the concordes or the shure m44-7's will do fine. I'd recommend the tried and try shure's. Just make sure to leave them sitting on a record for 2 days

@@roberttodd2414 Hey Robert, I got a question. I just got my first pair of decks and I’m about to start learning the art of beat matching. However, I can’t wrap my head around one thing specifically. So, let’s say for example the track that is playing is at 120bpms. I want to bring in next the 125bpm track. Now, since you’re not supposed to touch the pitch of the track that is currently playing (since the audience could notice it), it means I have one option, and that is to slower down the 125bpm track to 120 in order to mix it in. Now what I can’t understand is, if I’m going to slow down any track that is going in next, how am I supposed to lift the bpm up during the set (I mean, if I start the set with some easy 120bpm disco house, how to get to the point in the set where I’m gonna mix some 128/130 house/techno/whatever? Thanks!

@@roberttodd2414 cheers for that mate, appreciate it! I had something like that in my mind, but still wanted to confirm.

get technics

If you can't get technics, PLX-1000 is the closest you'll get to technics so yeah its a fine purchase

Get Plx 1000 their the next to Technics 1210s serious I’ve a Pair

If you get really good it allows absolute flawless mixing without event hearing small pitchbends … also for me personally it allows me to beatmatch them basically immediately At the end of the day I think the best thing is to use every technique according to the situation

+mark murray THE MIAMI HOUSE SHOW count me in practisenjoy@djtutor.com

+ellaskins ok im in miami at the moment back uk next Thurs .. If your in twitter @djmarkMurray or find miami house fbook send pm either way love to have you on the show !!

Depends on your preference. I either use the Split or Cue both parallel. (Split is the cue on one side and the output/master at the other side of the headphones.) Edit: Just saw it was a year ago. Hope you found your way.

Because its vinyl. will never stay for longer than 40 sec, yes some records do. You always need to keep your focus on the pitch, slightly off is not that a problem, its normal with vinyl als long you don't let them train wreck (gadugadugdau). Vinyl isn't 100% flat so you will always have to keep riding. And of course practice is the key to get it more tight, but 100% throughout the whole tune, no way. Get 2 copies of the same record, put them (zero). Start them the same moment leave the pitch on zero. Check for how long they stay in sync, you would think they should be in sync throughout the whole track. But they won't, cause they are never 100% identical cause its vinyl, no 0 and 1's (Digital). And even your technics aren't 100% identical. Yes: Turntables do play a roll in this part, wow and flutter is the tightness of the motor, Technics got a wow and flutter (0.01%) its almost nothing, so it means the motor rotates very acurate. Wich Onmintronic you got, will check the wow flutter for you. For how long your mixing? How much you practice. And how much is off , off to you? Look up sets like pioneer djs on vinyl old jeff mills car cox, they also go slightly off some times, its not an issue

+Reece Johnson - yep, you get to know your tunes, you can count too... When you practice, try experimenting... Just like ellaskins, you can practice many different ways of performing 1 mix... what happens when I release the record here, what happens when I drop the tune in there... It's all practice... Counting helps and knowing your tunes too... once you get a few in, you will see how many tunes (esp with dance music) follows a certain formula.... Just have to know your tunes! :)

+Dan R thanks dan for the help one question though i heard how as you said the formula is the same eg. dance music,club music etc. but i looked at this with some club music when i tried this (the formula is the same / prhases) it wasnt the same eg. both songs changed at 8 bars either that or i couldnt tell of the differences eg. might have been a small difference like a small thing added to the beat such as symbol but when i looked at 2 songs one kept changing after 8 bars and the other song wasnt regular at all it was like 4,2,8 etc completely random from what i could tell. you see it wasnt regualer would you know why this is am i looking at this the wrong way (am i looking at prhases the wrong way not just the song)

+Reece Johnson Yes, you're probably right... these rule (esp in music) are made to be broken! - that's why you did right, you counted the bars of the phrases and concluded that 1 of them doesn't obey "that rule" What I meant was very general, but more often than not, dance music kind of follows an 8 or 16 or 32 bar "rule" but sometimes this does get broken, esp when dealing with radio versions or even the main recording... the point is though, to get to know your tunes like this... keep experimenting and counting... once you know the phrasing of a tune, you should be able to know when to drop it so it alignes for your mix (and maybe even you are restricted to only being able to mix for 2 or 4 or 8 bars... (or even, you might find that you could drop the tune that goes 4,2,8 after 2 bars, leaving you 6 mars of mix for the 4 and 2... then drop on the 8 (or maybe even the final 8 you mention can be played with your tune...) Hope this helps... I was being very generalizing when I said about the rule... but the point really was to get to know your tunes...) - wich tunes obeay a rule... like "this is a 16 track", "this is an 8 or 32 track" then when you next mix it, you know both tracks rule and you can go! :)

+Dan R thanks for the answers dan

reminds me of that episode of curb

yeah I definitely remember reading about this technique (and pretty sure with the same name) on a DJ related email list in the late 1990s (when people used listservs lol). He says he came up with this in 2005? As for the technique itself, people were definitely doing this as early as the late 1970s; some of the old disco clubs had belt tables (Thorens TD-125 mk2); no way you could beat match those tables other than pitch riding since if you put your finger on the platter it would take 10 seconds to come back to speed lol. All that said, props for a good tutorial, just gotta give credit where it's due.
