How to use SYNC to transition HUGE BPM Differences

[@harrycordero]

Being an open-format Dj sync is a MUST. Mixing in a bar for 6 hours every weekend, a massive library, comfortable shoes, a positive attitude and THE SYNC button are the best companion.

[@djcarlo]

Agree! Just do you and embrace technology!

[@DjMannyUK]

thank you very much.! i see so many oldschool Dj's out there getting mad when a dj use SYNC

[@danielsaddyful]

It all depends on what you are using sync for.. If its to open up creativity, then its a no brainer... Go for it 👍

[@leehaiber9837]

This is exactly what sync feature was meant for. This transition would not have been possible on turntables. I have been DJ'ing for over 20 years and I still learn something new watching your tutorials. Keep it up. You rock.

I’m a big sync fan 🤩 it make my mixing way easier and quicker to add more style

[@djfantomcat]

Totally agree. It's what style you want and what tools you need for it. I never got looked down on for using a plastic pic for guitar playing when some other people like to finger pick.

[@aliciaisabellam8264]

I get shit from my peers for djing with sync, so much that I use more time between b2b2b to make sure the sync is off so they don’t know I used it, but after learning to count bars I don’t use it as much but I do love me a mix that brings the tempo up like a build up for a dubstep drop it’s all love

This works if you DONT have a transition track haha

[@MultiHotFlash]

As up to me, sync are not taboo at all. I can say even more - I happy with that little button coz it gives me more time for creativity. Deejaying since 2004 🎉

[@djcarlo]

Right?! I wish more people would see that and use it for that exact reason. Consider it a 3rd hand if you will!

[@ZoDarch]

Gotta say, I love the sync button, cause I mix psytrance ranging from 142 - 160 bpm, and there's a lot going on within those bpm and in that genre, and when you use the main fx plus the fx pads at the same time, keeping up with beatmacthing along that is hard, I ain't no octopus ✌

[@DJJ.Mckay72]

I been DJing since 1994. I know how to manually mix, and sync. Sync is nice for flawless mixes. I’m still old school when it comes to learning the new software. Learned a lot from using serato over the years. Smart sync is nice too. It’s hard sometimes to figure out when I’m recording a mix, why the bpm stay the same throughout the mix? On turntables, you just gradually increase or decrease the track. Serato both songs are locked in. Would rather sync one song at a time hitting the sync button every time a new track is loaded. Otherwise, you cannot play anything that is out of bpm range without it affecting the mix. Keeping the key lock on helps too. Also, editing beat grids is challenging too. Every time I change one down beat, the next one I edit, it shifts everything over? Why can’t you edit one down beat at a time without it affecting the ones you fixed if they all need to be adjusted? Overall, I love seato sync feature. One thing that benefits me is my beat matching skills. I have the ear to know when an issue arrives where I can adjust the track when the beat grid is off. That is something I’m glad I had learned early on. I think at some point everyone should learn it. You never know if your sync won’t work with a track that is off that forces you to manually adjust it. Especially if you are in the middle of a gig.

[@djcarlo]

Well done Mckay! I think the issue with the sync might be your master tempo. You'll need to switch that one around, otherwise, you'll get stuck with the same BPM throughout your mix! :D

[@DJJ.Mckay72]

@@djcarlo Yeah, I had an issue when I was doing a 60’s mix the other day! I ended up increasing the bpm gradually so it is not being played at a slower speed. I keep track when the bpm start to increase. I went from 125 bpm to 160 bpm. I ended up realizing that you can speed up the bpm. I usually do it when I’m mixing in the track. Less noticeable.

[@DrudgeAudio]

Using sync is fine, so long as people respect and make the most of its advantages, like with techniques like this! When I did my first dj gig I had nothing except traktor on a laptop and a portable mouse (no controller!) and the guys I was playing with were all on vinyl. I was very aware of the advantages I had, so made the most of it. So I made sure I was mixing harmonically, mixing fast, using effects and utilising all 4 decks - doing things which were impossible or at least difficult with turntables. If I had played a set which was no more technical than what the guys on turntables were spinning, then that would be lazy of me, I was aware of the advantages I had with sync so I used them! I since got a set of turn tables and 11 years on I’m about to get my first controller!

How do you set the first song to Master? Which button on the controller? Or can you only do it with your mouse on your computer?

Normally, there's a dedicated button for it on the Rekordbox controllers, but if it's not there, there's settings in the programs to lock a deck as the master deck. :)

​@@djcarlo I have a Pioneer DDJ 400. Is it possible with it? I can beat sync with beat sync button and set to wide with shift + tempo range but can't set to master. Thank you!

[@post-mastersodium3136]

I got no problems with sync, if used right. This tutorial is a good example, and a technique I use myself. I don't even care if a DJ just uses it to match the tempo. There's very little difference between tapping that sync button, and matching your tempo just looking at the bpm counter. I don't like if the beatgrid is off and a DJ trainwrecks because they are too reliant on sync and didn't bother to prepare/check their track beforehand. As someone who spent years manually beatmatching on turntables, I'm glad there's ways to speed up the workflow. Even better these things can give us new and creative ways to mix songs together.

[@HairyScaryMark]

Seems like a very good place to use sync, in my opinion. If you want to simultaneously adjust the tempos of two different tracks, then sync seems to be the way to do that. The reason I wouldn't use sync for general use is that I would want the control of being able to easily move back into tempo once the new song begins and it gets confusing if you don't have the tempo faders in the 'real' position, even if you disengage sync once the new track if playing by itself.

Can you simulate turning the power off to a turntable with a controller? I don't mean the wind up/wind down effect of hitting start/stop. I mean when you kill the power and it coasts to a stop. thanks again for the videos.

[@djcarlo]

Unfortunately, I don't think so. You could probably manipulate the brake effect on some equipment to simulate that very slow stop, but it's not really something you can do on most controllers.
