Too right!! 🙌

I’ve been using Technics SL1200s for 30 years. Trust me, never touch a record when aligning the bpms. Nudging a record is erratic, unpredictable and you can lose the mix or worse jump the stylus. What you need to do is use the pitch slider to sync the incoming track, always making minor adjustments until they become less and less. Sometimes you will have to give a sharp increase for a split second to realign. That is the equivalent of nudging the label of the record. This technique I’m explaining to you is more difficult and takes longer to learn, I’m not going to lie, but once you master it, you will eliminate the human error that occurs when you touch the platter and you’ll never drop another mix. I’ve just saved you 5 years.

If you’re sweet and caring enough, she’ll let you touch her.

One of the most helpful tip’s i got back in the 90’s was to find the first clap or snare and match it with the first clap or snare of the phrase of the record playing. Now you can generally hear right away if the phrases are off because the claps only happen twice per phrase on the 5 and the 13 now another thing to point out is most genres of of dance music disco, house, techno, electro, jungle, Dnb, Uk garage, hip hop predominately 99% use this clap/snare placement and this i found to be the fastest way to phrase records. Now getting it on the right speed Take the pitch on the new record crank it to plus snd listen as you gradually push pitch down listening if the kicks are getting close tapping the dots on the platter to slow it down quick its always faster to slow a record down than it is to speed it up hence the reasoning for pitching it to +8 Once you got the tempo close find that clap and see how close you were. Mixing in key can only be done by ear if you’re tone def good luck take some music lessons see where that gets you. I know a few tone def producers and djs and all of approach it differently.

I learned the harder way, beat matching using just a pitch slider, and I was told not to touch the label, but rather run-out part of the record or give a slight nudge to the platter.

That 2nd tune he uses is ayo, one of my faves so far for2024. Great video:)

Hardest part for me was training my brain to listen to what each ear was hearing independently and not blend them together. My advice would be to just listen to music and then have a different track playing to one ear from a headset. Get used to listening to them both at the same time, but separately. Not sure if that makes sense, but if it does, hope it helps! Keep practicing! Mixing on vinyl is so relaxing and organic compared to digital.

@@TommyBo42 The current track from the speakers on one ear. The next track you're beat matching in the headphones on the other ear. Or if you play out a lot, you may need to have the headphones split, left ear, left track. Right ear, right track and mix with both headphones on at all times. This is because clubs don't always have a good set up for DJs (no monitors) and you need instant sound in your ears. I had a DJ competition where there were no monitors in the DJ booth, and I was playing a hip hop set with scratching, and beat juggling. The speakers were over the other side of the club with a huge delay. Lets say I played the most basic set possible and lost.

great, one ergonomics hint though : align the front of the mixer with the front of the turntables. It's aligned to the back side now, which makes the crossfader and upfaders sit a little further away than necessary. Once you start doing longer sets, you'll notice the difference.

You really can't feel an emotional connection towards a music file like you can towards vinyl. Receiving a new stack of vinyl in the mail feels always like Christmas and you really need to be picky because you can't buy everything.

Very nice video, one thing to add for beginners in the comments, try and follow the plus 2 minus 2 model, in that it's a good rule of thumb to not attempt two records that are so far apart in tempo that you have to be 4 pitch levels apart to match them, one of them or both may end up sounding pretty dumb and then it's also more difficult to match the third song, you basically dig yourself a hole. DJ TLM breaks it down in one of his videos quite well, about just scratch and hard cut over, basically knowing when and when not to try blend, although I get that with these house type beats that there's less of that and it's generally all blends. You can get away with it on instrumentals, it's usually when there's vocals that it sounds weird, even with level corrections to bass etc.

needles will wear after time and so will records. But the turntable should be started while cuing. As long you keep the needle in the groove of the record, it isn't going to damage either. It's when you drag it across your record that you can damage both. But again, after time both will wear. It's like your car after driving it a lot it's going to wear down. That doesn't mean you don't drive your car. Having your tonearm out of balance will wear them down quicker. And so will dirt. Be sure to keep your records clean

I'd advise against using the centre label pushing to speed up a record; instead use the turntable platter as you do with slowing down. Reason is, many records might be pressed slightly warped and react stronger or weaker to pressure on the label, while the platter will always react the same. So it's easy to overshoot when you do it like in the video here, while using the platter will give you consistancy once you get a feeling for it and you'll be able to beatmatch much faster and more precise. Take it from someone who mixes on four turntables.😊

I do have a question which i think is important: while you are searching for the beat on a vinyl ( the one you want to introduce in the mix) I have seen you are searching the beat by rotating the vinyl while playing. In this situation, isnt it the needle scratching and deteriorating the vinyl while you go back and forth during the ascultation period of the upcoming vinyl? thanks

@BopDJstore

4 ай бұрын

When I am doing this there is actually not track their so it has nothing to deteriorate, it is just simply a blank plastic edge. When cueing as well the needle is placing itself into the groove. To maintain your vinyl you must keep your needle and records clean and ensure the correct tracking force is applied :)
