gotta have hhhoouussee music all fucking night long. This age bracket knows shit about that

Some people shouldn't teach if they can't even do it right.

orrr you could just beatmatch by putting the tune in, speeding up or slowing down the track using the side of the cdjs platter wheel and adjust the pitch accordingly depending on whether you had to speed it up or slow it down. Instead of taking like 4 mins to go through the whole pitch range lol

I see lot of people use controllers and heavily reliant on the sync button, but when their tracks won't sync, if the computer has trouble processing it, then there puzzled, its why you should always rely on your good old fashioned ear, its makes you a better DJ and its much more of a buzz mixing that way, even with CDJ's, you don't gain completely accurate ear for mixing as using vinyl is the the most fundamental method way of mixing

Why insist on restarting the song? By the time you have it synced the other song has already stopped playing.

I don't do that spin on the jog-wheel to sync, simply hit cue button on every four count. Don't follow the CDj's BPM counters they are never accurate, the jog-wheel goes clockwise when trying to sync if turn back the jog-wheel your track needs to slow down if you have to move it up your track is going too slow, your tracks are ready to be mixed perfectly once your sync track can be beatmatched at least at a 32 count beat. real DJ's beatmatch by ear, anyone can mix with a computer. The mixing itself is another skill knowing how to work with Mids Highs Lows and Gain.

the bpm counters are usually accurate when you scan through recordbox first. but yea on CDJ 900s you needed to beatmatch by ears. These didn't even have a synch

This guy definitely used to play vinyl from the way he "throws" the track in instead of finding the first beat and cueing it up instead like most DJs do nowadays.

this is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. this is your legacy. Remember that. The Internet is forever. And this was useful information in the 1970’s.

I normally post only positive comments, but I don't think this video explained the process, nor was the end result sounding very good. Perhaps a re-shoot with better explanation and a more clear result. This video seemed almost as if you were trying to figure it out yourself as you are trying to teach how to do it.

Vinyl is much less accurate, cause due to air friction or something, the bpm of a song in a serato vinyl constantly changes by 0.1. which actually is a lot.

Just being a good DJ is preparing for his gigs. Whether he uses sync or anything else as long as the amount appears to be bringing to the dance.

Depending on your equipment, you can beat match as many songs or loops as you have decks available. For instance, Traktor 2 allows four track decks or up to 16 sample decks which can all be beat matched/ synced

***** What Is wrong with using the sync button! So narrow minded. It's the same principle as telling an F1 driver he's not allowed to use flappy paddle gearbox. I use the sync button to instantaneously get my tracks in sync so I can remix 4 tracks together with ease, where as manual beat-matching would not allow for this. Where some more modern DJ's lack skill in the art of beat-matching they use that time to make up for it in more creative ways, and often this translates to the crowd better!

I'm confused. Beat matching is one of the easiest things in djing :p

Still there is a costly display which displays the BPM's, you can just move the pitch control to match the decks BPM's. Also this guy is teaching beginners how to essentially mix, it is most like they will using vdj's with a sync function as vdjs are cheap. Don't also give me, ohh you need to be able to beatmatch for oldschool songs with real drummers, because this DJ plays straight house!

your right there is a hell of a lot more to it, track selection, how to build a set, read a crowd etc etc etc :)

I've heard more than a few DJs who could use this practice. Great basic video thats easy to watch and understand. Thanks!

Since when does beat matching distinguishes good Dj's apart from bad ones. Haha bad example since in the past it would be very much that. He has CDj's which display the tempo on the LCD screen, and this is correct 95% of the time and almost 100% of the time for house with a regular 4/4 Beat. This eliminates the need for using your ears for this, you can even use a sync button to get them in time near to 100% of the time. Instead of wasting time beat matching, use your time to be creative and mash up, scratch and live remix not to beat match. What separates good and bad Dj's these days is their creativity. ( I know this vid is made 4 years ago but still with his expensive decks he's lying if he says he beat matches, or he's and idiot or I'm mistaken that his decks have sync function)

Hallelujah ! someone is speaking the truth right here ! cause yeah , beatmashing is pretty cool when your only job as a dj is to switch from deck A to deck B and the track running is an 8 min long generic house track, but THEN when playing hip hop with 3 decks at once, have fun syncing the acapella while scratching and adding effects...

The second you press sync is the second you stop you cease to be a DJ and start being an Ipod with legs. Real Djs do all that while beatmatching. It's the foundation you have to learn before those tricks are learnt otherwise everyone in the world would be a DJ because it takes five minutes with all the tech out today

CDJs are very fun. I also have a Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller and thats fun too. Very similar to CDJs. But there's nothing like going back to your roots and loading a record onto the platter, setting the pitch, licking your finger tips, back spinning, twisting the center...

It's pretty easy to beatmatch when the CD decks tell you the bpm and and keep the grooves locked unlike records. So all the CD DJs talking shit about Traktor and the sync button should really STFU. Try riding the pitch while mixing on vinyl, completely different ballgame.

it's about respect for the earlier times of dj'ing. choose for yourself if you want to learn to beatmatch or not.

this guy is a knob lol

Um, if the left song is playing at 128 BPM, why would you go through the whole pitch range ? Just put the right deck to 128 BPM aswell, beatmatch a bit, and done! Jesus, no 9:35 long vid. needed for something simple as that !

great tutorial man. helped me tons!

tunerLT 2nd that!!!

I taught myself to beat match using an old pitch adjustable tape player. Years ago. You can match things up within a few seconds with practice. Then need to leave them playing for longer to get them closer. Pretty much all of the big names adjust the EQ to kill the bass on one of the tracks. That tends to hide slightly out of sync tracks. Swap the bass EQ over at some point in the cross over.

That was really a nice exercise! I learned something-

nice i have the mixtrack pro too is the any beat maching videos on the mixtrack cuz i cant find any?

here's how i see it: anyone who wants to play out and consider themself a dj needs to put in the time to learn how to beatmatch, 1 because if you don't you are a human jukebox 2 you may find yourself in a situation where you don't have your trusty sync button and you will be in a world of trouble 3 the guy in this video is right about one thing, it does feel good when you finally get it

You, my good sir, are awesome.

@HowToDjFastdotcom when it comes to beatmatching, does it have to be 2 song or can it be 1 song and 1 sample/loop ??

You have a great personality, thanks for the vids, hope to see more soon

I have the sync button on my mixtrack pro, but i usually don't use it. I just like having it there just in case i don't have enough time to beatmatch the 2 songs together. When you are DJing a house party and everyone is hyped up on soda, you definitely don't want the music to stop.

the song is called francois dubois blood

The track at the beginning (from the club scene) is Mark Knight - Downpipe. You're welcome.

A sync button probably means different things on different pieces of equipment or in different software programs. On most software programs it means "auto-sync". I think what you are describing as sync is more often called "cue".

yes. obviously, the crowd hears nothing of the second deck until you move the crossfader. once you got it matched, you can start fading over to the second track.

i see. i generally use sync on traktor 9 times out of 10 mixes, and thus the time i would've spent beat-matching goes into doing other things. what setup do you have with serato?

DUDE!!! ive just spent about 30 mins trying to that very song because couldn't spell Francois Dubois and there's a lot of songs called blood. was just stumbling around the comment section to see if any one had put the name of the artist and song in there. when i found your comment i thought you were spaming a link to one of your videos or something but went there out of curiosity. but when i saw the the title... I SHIT BRICKS i know this is probably 3 months too late but THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, what headphones are those? They look really sweeet!!!!!!!!

The songs that you are playing in a club or an event have to be bought?

Excuse me sir, If I'm in Thailand and wanna order DVD that teach me about how to be a DJ which one I should order ? $49 or $39 and How long it gonna come to my home ? and last thing do I need a DJ equipment ready like controller ? Thank you

Glad to see an up and coming DJ. I actually just found these guys, and their advice is pretty sound. Just hit up their site and vids and you'll get a good basic understanding. Everything past that, though, is just actually doing it.

i only ever see djs mix house music talking about different bpm. its all between 125 - 130. the problem without the sync button for me is that im going from 87.5 to 110 or 140 - 175 (87.5 X2) did you see how long it took you to find the beat? the other song was still not matched. That song may be over by the time you eve match the other one. I just dont know how you would wanna go into a club with the chance of not even hitting what youre trying to get???

How do you load the tracks wave instantan? Rekord box?

walpapper FTW ;) what songs are you using ?

the cdjs are cdj1000's and mixer is djm 400

What do you do with songs that start with lyrics, don't have an intro or outro or any where in the song with just a beat?

what equipment are you using? Do you have any tutorials on any videos?

@Kammenz for a first set is numark mixtrack pro for $250, i had it for the frist one, and it was really easy to use. You get the hang of it really fast.

you dont need to stop the cued song over and over again while finding the right pitch to beatmatch .

that's why the SYNC button is invented ..

A controller is an all in one unit, two decks and a mixing section, 2 to four channels on the mixing section also, so you wouldn't need a mixer if you had a DJ controller.

yes there is, you can see your timeline on-screen. stop visualising, start listening

Not that I know of. Beatmatching is really simple once you get the hang of it. Are you running the Mixtrack Pro with Serato DJ Intro, or are you using the one that has VDJ?

Amen, I'm a producer and an ameteur DJ and I caught that instantly.

As long as you can get the crowd dancing non stop, I don't think they care whether you use the sync button or sync by ear. Just enjoy the music the "dj" is providing you...if it's good of course. :)

this is music is pretty simple to mix tho its when you get into really complicated music is when it gets real crazy

i like how you show beginners overpitching, i think it is an awesome technique, it is how i learned to beatmatch. i think what you do here is awesome, i really really like and ejoy it, even though i don´t require help no more :) i mix with vinyl, i like how you don´t use the cue button because people might have turntables and there u got no cue right... i think this is about the best video about beatmatching out there. gratz, i will share this vid so you get recognized!

when you talk, it reminds me why people learn music terminology. cool songs you used doe. Anyone that can incorporate Kenny G gets some props. one love

@DJSHAPIRO usually i beat match on my own.. cuz i like doing it.. but when im trying to mash up a couple of songs or tryign to something complicated i use the sync button to have more time.. thats what it was made for

i used to use the sync button , but tried and beatmatched the song its really feels awesome !

I started out with with Virtual DJ, the software is easy usually free when you buy a Hercules mixer. I dont know if you shop at Guitar Center because I know they carry tHercules mixer. You wont have to spend a lot. I have been using my Hercules Mixer for years but this year I am upgrading to the NUMARK NS7. Goodluck!

dj controllers are a good way of mixing, it has most of the same features, hot cues, filters, samplers, etc. if not, probably more features.

How can you do it in vinyl? Do you check the internet and check the bpm of each individual song u have or how?

You acctually dont need to stop it every time. If you use your jog wheel to slow the track down, or touch the plattern if you use vinyls, at the same time as you turn your pitch down you can beatmatch faster. Wich can come in handy if the track your playing just have 30 sec left and you need to beatmatch fast. Practise and enjoy

what mixer are you using?

@masterrayn that's probably the Sennheiser HD25-1 II, awesome headphone for live application!

but if you got 2 tracks with complete different Bpm ow to do? i mena if you adjust the bpm the track sounds weird

You can sneak away with a bout 10bpm variance max also if your using cdjs there is a pitch lock function on most of the pioneer ones so you can change tempo with out change. also you can do non beat matched mixes , use effects for example delay out one track as you filter sweep it and fade in the next track, use a turntable break then slam your next track on you dont always have to beatmatch your mixes but thats not an excuse not to learn to beatmatch either.

Absolutly!!! I havent done much mixing on cd players but i wouldnt mind giving it a go.

why don't you set a cue point?

What is the Introsong? Sounds awsome! :)

Is for starting a Mixtrack Pro also as good as the ion discover dj pro??

i use it sometimes for really specific stuff, but if your a dj who relies on sync, more than likely you are doing automated train wrecks, 90% of the time the sync button is not correct.

headphones only, ONLY bring it in when its matched and matched for sure, give a good 16 beats before bringing it in and KNOW very well where your bringing it in on both records, do you know of the 8 beat count?

It does if you beat-align the tracks at home before you gig.

thanks for the vid man very helpful for a beginner like myself

Some tracks the way they are produced naturally slightly fade off 4:4 point as they progress, if you don't know how to adjust that as it goes you'll have times where you totally bomb. Plus you'll mess up the next track as well and so on and so forth. Not enough people have trained ears and if you learn to beatmatch you're training your ears which is an extremely significant and important DJing skill.

Hey does anybody know of any god djing programs to start with? Currently looking forward to start but don't really know what would be good. Any suggestions? thanks!

Wats tat songs name which was playing in the start. (In the patty)

What are you looking for when you scratch the cdj into the same beat?? it just looks like your scratching then letting go and bam, the songs have the beats in the same place... traktor s2 btw

Are you using Sennheiser hd25s?

what song is the one with the sax? real chill:)

I want to buy a dj controller but is this all possible to with dj controllers?

Key skill is also track selection

I have a ddjsx and it has a sync button. I learnt on my own that u cannot depend on sync button. Not every song has a straight ahead beat. To actually dj u need more than just a sync button. That thing doesnt matter. Cus i ended up having doing it by ear. Plus its like evan said there are ranges in the bpm where its never gonna be spot on just by matching the beat frm the bpm. U still gotta do it by heart and ears. And I dont use my sync button.

I love my Sync button.

Thanks for the tutorial ! just bought a 'Numark Mixtrack Pro' and I want to recommend that mixer to anyone who's starting 'djing' btw; Sorry for bad english

Sometimes even though they may appear to be the same BPM this can be quite vague. Say your songs are both at 128BPM, one could be at 128.0 but the other could be on 128.6 , Even if they are just a tiny bit apart over time they will drift. The thing that makes you a DJ is being able to keep them in sync. Hope this helps a bit :)

hmm... my song is too fast! what should i do? ... slow down the song? how do you think of these things!?

ur good dj and ur really making me laugh :D ahahahahaha keep it up bro
