DJ BEAT MATCHING LESSON The "MOVE N NUDGE" technique MOVE PITCH, NUDGE, PLATTER TO FINE TUNE

[@JamesJefferyUK]

This comes natural to most people after DJ'ing for a while, but excellent tip for beginners. These days I can generally tell by how fast they go off beat how far I need to move the pitch up or down. Love your video's though bud.

[@DJDynablend]

Every dj has there personal super power, this is Ellaskins, the fastest pitch/groove rider in the west! Hopefully one day I'll be half as good as this guy at beatmatching

[@tonioroffo6414]

Again... listen to this man, it's the right way to easily learn beatmatching

[@MONKiiMusic]

Basically if you have to nudge to the right then you need to slow down your track (or push up on the pitch) if you have to nudge to the left then you need to speed up your track (or push down on your pitch). Great video!!

[@ChristinaGina]

Love you and your sense of humour. Youre great

[@john20111986]

This is how I'm teaching myself. I look away from everything so I do it by ear. Sometimes it takes me so long but its worth learning. Sometimes if I'm only slightly out and I'm in the mix I just keep nudging.

[@larsandersen908]

"its not to fast, but its still to fast" I love it XD haha

[@seancummins07]

i use this technique all the time, find it alot easier than moving the pitch slide up and down on its own if you get me, great video btw :)

[@fabiandux8234]

I'm a DJ at a german Webradio and some of the others told me to try out "pitch-riding", well i did and it's really great. It's effective and fast, maybe you could do a Video about this and spread the technique :) Maybe it's a better way to get tunes in the same Speed, that are way faster or slower than others, than "move and nudge" is still available for the fine-tuning :)

[@rwood1995]

So you are chasing the beat??? I'm trying to do this myself on the same setup you have because I never did really master vinyl before it went away !!! Covering the display makes so much sense if you really want to learn

[@CNder77]

Another great video I enjoyed. Your dj-ing videos are helpful, thank you.

[@TheHappy1337]

That was so close! Nicely done

[@markseale3235]

great technique I use that all the time now, well until I learn another a different one, thanks. practice and enjoy!

[@baladar1353]

You can do it if You want, not a bad idea. If the player can quantize, then it's easier. When You get more experienced, You'll be able to beatmatch the tunes in about 2 or 3 bars, so You will beatmatch tunes instantly. That's my experience, and I don't have CDJs, but SL1200MKIIs (vinyl). Just practice as much as You can.

[@wreckx50]

thank you for the knowledge with all the videos! personally I prefer using turntables since nudging with turntables just feels a bit more accurate (with different nudge strengths you apply to the records). pretty new to CDJ's though so hopefully could master both!

[@davidpcharles]

How do you clean them so well... Great vid!

[@cirrusgts]

thanks for the new vids! keep up the good work!!!!

[@nattyv911asdf]

Push and Shove, Push and Nudge, Move and Nudge. Good techniques, quite similar

[@sammyc7417]

Great tutorial. Makes me wish I had a set of turntables myself.

[@Kwipper]

I love this method. However, on the deck you were using the adjustments, wouldn't it be more efficient to use the cue button to reset the track to the last cuepoint set, instead of the play/pause?

[@selondonwat]

its exactly the same principle, instead of slowing down or speeding up the jogwheel (nudging) u slow down the vinyl by applying peasure to the platter or speeding the platter up.

[@mygeico]

Yooo your videos are awesome, thank you.

[@digeshraval220]

hey, it's Digesh here. can you suggest which player is good for being dj

[@Reticuli]

I want 32% pitch range with 0.1 increments and the jog dead zone to be either eliminated or made optional in the settings.

[@zzzzzz69zzz]

off topic question Mister dj tutor ( please answer ), which mixer Do YOU prefer: djm 900 nexus or djm 2000 nexus? and why please ? thanks

[@gurneymcbuzzin]

You should do the pushing and nudging simultaneously though instead of alternating them for a smoother change.

[@johndavis4397]

thank you for sharing your skills. It is more than appreciated.

[@memi262]

i love to use this technique

[@sushilnash]

that Storm Queen track is a tune, nice one!

[@davidokiwido]

nice cd players .. are they the 900's or 2000's ?

[@lewt7594]

But with this method are you not starting the track at the right moment? Although the beats are matched up...

[@rebecca_stone]

I always always wondered about this too. But the idea is that once your two tracks are at the correct matching speed, you take your second track back to the beginning, use the first few bars to get the beats playing in the right time, then do your transition.

[@djantonio72]

Great video I love it. But wouldn't you agree that even though it was off by that little on the beat counters that it was still ok and perfect? I mix alot of house and progressive house and always do the same ignore the counters and mix by ear and alot of times it's off by a bit which tells me that the beat counters are not accurate and shouldn't be trusted by any DJ. Kind of like the sync button in an oh sh** situation which I don't like either. I also love how you don't use earphones it's awesome. I first saw this in Toronto Canada back in the early 90s at a record shop. The guy was mixing new records without headphones. So I started doing it too to test my ears for mixing. Thanks again. Greetings from Cleveland Ohio.

[@erokbrewmeister9231]

Nice job, good explanations as well.

[@andysteele4401]

Well that's another good vid and a big help keep them coming

[@Limosical]

depends what for, for somebody starting, a controller, for somebody who does it as a job then it'd have to be the pioneers.

[@iamstd2]

I assume you could do this by holding the cue button as well?

[@distortimus7631]

That's how I do it. I most of the time move the pitch fader roughly to the tempo of the other track, whilst listening to a track on my 1000 mk3 (before cuing). *edit: I also cover my screen with paper CD sleeve😂

[@Uckertay]

Do you listen to Hed Kandi Radio? That Storm Queen track has been playing for the past like 4 weeks on that show. I love your videos bro!!! Keep it up! :D

[@DJSalm0n]

for edm music beatmatching in loops is great because the intros are short..yo yeah, try loops :)

[@nathanoshea5790]

does this not make the beats play out of sync if your moving the pitch fader

[@givethedogadrone]

Another video! Loving it. :)

[@quertzacoalt]

Great video!

[@robertmunro5382]

what mixer is that you are mixing with looks like a good one?

[@highflyer131]

Robert Munro DJM 900 nexus

[@1916eco]

You left your caps lock on !!

[@adamsardo]

yeah you could, but for example i wouldn't reply on cdj 850's as the loop feature on those is horrible and is way off! on say cdj 2000's it should work fine. hope this helped :)

[@davidokiwido]

ah cool...expensive ..lol .. i was wondering for giving it a go for cdj's 1000 or the new ones (900's or 2000's) . i ve always been having the vinyl technics 1200's; but i m a bit bored with tractor and that .. pioneer cd decks looks cool ;no computer browsing + usb option ;nice...

[@hotrodmind]

I've been messing around with Virtual DJ and mixing some soca, hip hop and other songs.. and I really do feel like I'm cheating when I increase/decrease the pitch so I find my self finding parts in the song that match beats already and racing to get them to mix... is this completely wrong ?

[@sainter7]

thanks for this ! ! ! ! ! !

[@bertjuhnl]

I'm very curious to learn how you bring that right track back onto speed without hearing the track change in speed like an old walkman with dead batteries.

[@mevijay1610]

look at the volume lights on channel , can match it by seeing.

[@Firazosberth]

Better on CDJs. The color of sounds are amazing

[@arinjay8765]

You sound like... VISION (jarvis) 😍

[@catow7883]

whats the name of the songs

[@xLewisboii2k10x]

would love to start mixing just ain't got no family or friends that do it or know anyone that do :(

[@TheHappy1337]

+Lewis Edwards Get some kit and start mixing, don't need to know anyone who does :) KZbin videos are a great place to learn. I started mixing recently, only found out afterwards that half of my family also mix xD

[@djephexx]

You are awesome

[@davidbrooks2733]

Ive watched a few videos and this technique seems popular. I dont understand what the nudge is actually doing. I dont have a CDJ or turntable to try this out yet nor have I had the opportunity before. I would be grateful if someone could explain what the nudge is doing in a way I can understand without using the equipment. Thanks.

[@davidbrooks2733]

Willem Beltman Thanks for the tip! I've been trying it out in virtual DJ and I think I get how it works now. So basically if the beat is matched up but one track is slightly behind (or ahead) where the other is, you just nudge it forward a bit to get it in sync. Definitely seems like the kind of thing that would be easier to get a feel for on an actual piece of equipment rather than software. But virtual DJ at least shows you how it works. Again, thanks for the advice.

[@jamesrbrindle]

Back in the days of real mixing this was the only technique - thank god for evolution, less pitch fiddling, more creativity

[@roxylaa]

thankyou!

[@markalexwhite]

'Seamus' (Given) is pronounced Shaymus - another unpronouncable Irish name! PS: I'm Irish🙂 Also: I always move the pitch fader right to the bottom so you can be fairly certain the incoming track is too fast and know which direction to start moving for ther match🙂

[@xLewisboii2k10x]

can anyone tell me how to get started? would really appreciate it

[@xLewisboii2k10x]

Oh right okay, thanks, really appreciate it! I've wanted to do it for years, but now I'm working, I'm going to go for it!

[@sarahbell180]

nice

[@mainabigdeal2705]

ur awsome

[@nightreaver94]

The cdj are soooo shinny

[@djdabar12]

Its like pitching with vinyl ..

[@TheNimajaneb]

nice hat

[@nilsbland6511]

It's a matter of preference, I've tried both, starting out with digital DJing using a controller similar to the Traktor S4 and moving on to CDJ 2000's & a DJM 800 mixer. For me the craft of DJing is way too much fun to give up for a controller, you're basically just a human iPod player with a controller. Also most (if not all) clubs as of today use the CDJ2000's (or nexus) with a DJM900/2000 so if you plan on playing at clubs go for CDJ's.

[@markalexwhite]

It's now 2022 - what's the difference between a CDJ with a USB stick plugged in and a controller? Surely all the moves, techniques and skills are the exact same?

[@michielinks1721]

why wouldnt you just set both tracks to 118 que then then adjust the jog wheel??

[@tonioroffo6414]

Because this also works for non >2000 tracks which aren't perfectly quantized.

[@TheNimajaneb]

it says on the bottom right corner of the players...

[@dylankearns8362]

i find it impossible to nudge on my mixtrack pro 2 because everytime i do , the pitch goes really high and it just sounds bad , anybody help?

[@ThePoisonBeats]

You have to put the "keylock" function on. you do that by holding the shift button and the "-/keylock" button toghether to turn keylock on

[@Enav8]

press the scratch button and do it slowly on the silver rims of the platters

[@pizzapowwow5848]

Enav8 Thats what i do

[@gman17rapper]

there's no such thing as "better". it's just different mixers with different features. you, as a DJ, should be able to mix on anything (even though some low budget CDJs are horrible and should never be used for live performances). as long as you can cue up one track, and hear the other one in a monitor.. (so u won't have any delay)… that's all u need.

[@leejulz1]

Bet u them track r same speed tho

[@MisterKaDJ]

In spanish, please... would you? :)

[@elatedsoul6395]

JUST RIDE THE PITCH

[@moisessoto5061]

Thank you, you big bloody beautiful bastard

[@johnparker5879]

any1 else develop hard skin on their finger using this technique on 1210's ???? ha ha :)

[@mevijay1610]

i kept in fridge.... lol

[@thedjqmobstl]

Foncuse

[@lordbutler482]

Mk tune is being played to slow

[@cristianmontoya9486]

song 4:26 plss?

[@AlexxReed]

what happen to using your ears to match music lol

[@ObbardProductions]

Mixing on cd decks is a piece of piss compared to mixing on vinyl decks, it shows you which bpm to put it in, thats cheating in my eyes, theres no talent in that at all,.its annoying when i see djs mixing on cd decks thinking there well good, try doing that on vinyl decks mate.

[@ObbardProductions]

Not dissing the video off btw, just talking about cdjs in general.

[@tonybrown9851]

Lol I have a cdj 450 and I have no pbm or waveforms or sync button so really it is a vinyl on cds or USB. So not all cdjs have tge displays. The only thing my display says is the track the time what's left and that's it

[@idrri5050]

in my dj school this is the method we use , and the time we should beatmatchh 100 percent a song into the other is 30 seconds , we all do it under 30 i did at 20 , it takes you forever to beatmatch this song dude . i totally respect you and ur years as a dj but im 15 and i can do this better

[@Bounce3000O]

Guess you never realised that he's going slow just so that we can see properly watch through his mixes and other videos he can beatmatch extremely fast

[@idrri5050]

ah ok then my fault , didnt want to throw down his years as a dj but at this videoo ... thats what i thought

[@Bounce3000O]

personally i thought it was pretty obvious he was doing it slowly to show people how its done and that most people here watch many of his usefull videos and would know but i can see where your coming from

[@idrri5050]

anyways dude he is not telling to you all the secrets , beatmatching at this method like playing and stoping the song and moving the pitch it would take forever , i use the move n nudge since i play the track and do this all the time by moving the pitch bigger at start and then making it smaller as close as i get srry for english doe

[@joeletrambleur5267]

+Hider Valteri Hi there, can you give more details on your technique and how it's different from his "stop and go" technique? Thanks, I would like to be able to beatmatch in under 30 seconds as well.
