That was all part of the fun mate,I had a set of 1210s years ago,gettin your beats matched didn't take long with abit of practice,I sold my gear years ago and just bought a stand alone unit,it's crazy how everything's changed,just moving your pitch up or down to match the track your.playing while reading it.on the screen still seems abit like I'm cheating 😂😂

[@BopDJstore]

Too right!! 🙌

[@rodrigosmusic]

That was the most straight to the point tutorial I've ever seen! Very nice!

[@BopDJstore]

Tried to keep it short and concise !!

[@Jjrad308]

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.

[@cowboyhank456]

I've been sitting with my turntable next to me for the past few days trying to find the motivation to start learning again, when this video randomly got recommended. I've got years of experience with digital playing which comes naturally to me. I've tried riding the pitch fader plenty of times on CDJs to try to get a feel for it and that's easy, but man vinyl keeps slapping me in the face. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it, but your video just gave me the motivation to start trying again -- straight to the point with some tips, this is what tutorials should be

[@BopDJstore]

Thank you so much for the kind words - vinyl is one of those media formats that can knock even some of hardest minds, but practicing makes perfect. if you make any mistakes don't be disheartened, take a step back and start the mix from the start! 🙌

[@TommyBo42]

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.

[@iancowley_DJ]

@@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.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

you should try going for a walk , sitting with your turntable is rather static - you've spent years with a robot assisting you.. is that really natural?

[@ChetHanks-eh1md]

just mix without the screen. Pretty similar experience.

[@Amiga1200Mark]

Im still a vinyl only dj. Got my first decks, soundlab belt drives in 1996. Got mk7s now. Vinyl is expensive , but i love buying and holding vinyl. A stick with a million tunes on just doesnt interest me. Its souless. But, unlike when i started, everyone wants it easy , cheap and convenient now. The world we live in. Long live vinyl.

[@andypae]

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. Not to mention finding rare gems, a lot of the music isn't even available on digital format or even CD. Your vinyl collection is a reflection on your life and you had to go out and find it.

[@StephenCross-pg4ez]

Can only agree,serato etc is just a case of re investing the wheel wtf is the point? I still love the art form,a weapon from a more elegant age

[@wadataa1]

Me too mate, started with b/drive soundlabs when you basically have to crank them up with a handle 😂😂 best way to learn as you had to keep the platter at the correct speed by basically spinning it around with your fingers to keep the speed in check while trying to mix as well 🤣🤣 ah they made YOU WORK FOR IT!! Those were the days and now on the mk7's also, but do have a couple of cdjs for the choons you can't get on vinyl. VINYL FOREVER BRO!! 👌

[@markworley3382]

Vinyl is the only way 👍🏻

[@etdj909]

I came to this video by watching others about how to use CDJs... I've only ever vinyl DJ'd so have zero clue about them and so my admiration for digital-only is up there - respect goes both ways. My tip would be about nudging techniques: you're putting energy into or out of the platter and sometimes you need to be more subtle when you're damn close. Pinch the spindle and twist in or squeeze out for fine tuning if it starts to micro-drift out of sync mid mix, especially on those long synth pads when altering the tempo also changes the pitch of the note more obviously. Oh, and know your tunes, like every single note, beat and key so that you can wake up hearing them in your head. You'll start to instinctively appreciate what vinyl's go together because the phrases match (or are differently complimentary) and at what tempos, because there's no preserving the pitch of the note at different places on the pitch/tempo adjuster and what sounded good yesterday with tunes x at +2 and y might sound awful today with x at -1 and z.

[@spht9ng]

Possibilities are endless with digital. You can effectively do production on the fly without any other gear. Vinyl is pure in a way that you have to do all of the work for something as basic as keeping tempo matched. It takes a special attention to detail and impeccable timing to mix seamlessly on vinyl. It's such an engaging activity with no dull moments. Digital does give you time to breath during the set when songs are playing through though.

[@djroyal414]

This is AWESOME!!!! I think ALL new DJ’s should learn this before using CDJ’s and Controllers 🎶🎵

[@BopDJstore]

Thank you so much! Glad it helped in any way 😁 🙌

[@Spek7]

It can be expensive compared to a controller.

[@myp.records]

yeah! but did u know that proper use of CDJs are meant to be without the rekordbox tool help... you can use your music without rekordbox and play it just like a vinyl record, the beatmatch technique its the same, the only difference is that the CDJ will be giving you a aprox BPM. Just for you know :)

It is nice to see how far this technique has come I can remember the day that my neighbor created this we all thought he was crazy but that was a long time ago I often ask myself I wonder if these millions of DJs all over the world even know who how or why he created this

[@BopDJstore]

WE NEED TO KNOW MORE!

[@AnotherTallPaul]

Don't bother nudging, just use the tempo fader. Once mastered, it saves time and trains you to really understand what it does and be in control of it.

[@BopDJstore]

Using the tempo fader is an amazing way to nudge tracks and is a bit more seamless, but for beginners I felt this method is a little easier to understand. And then utilising the pitch fader once you have mastered the basics for beat matching :)

[@snufbox]

Agreed. I kinda get what @BopDJstore is saying but learning riding the tempo fader will hone you're skills much quicker in the long run. Also, if I ever happen to need to speed up one of the tracks in the mix, I twist the spindle as it's a lot more subtle.

[@rob-ei1uf]

Its hars to only use the temp fader when you have belt drive isnt it?

[@rob-ei1uf]

Hard

[@AnotherTallPaul]

@@rob-ei1uf yes, it is, but it's worth learning. If you have to nudge, and assuming the second track was started in time with first track beat, that suggests the speed is not matched. So, you have to change the speed with fader, nudging just delays the inevitable. Changing speed you do once, nudging you have to keep doing, because the speed is still wrong. And you can hear it during a mix. If you get speed matched before a mix, you can then concentrate on the mix.

I can mix with any vinyl even if I didn't knew them. It's like impro in jazz or in a jam session.

[@iancowley_DJ]

@@franklinturtletek8957 Stuff before 94-95 is a bit difficult. The producers didn't think about DJs so they didn't stick with the 32 beat per phrase rule and the best mixing parts were only a couple of phrases in the middle of the record giving you about a minute to pick the next track, match the beat checking the grooves the whole time to see where you are at. Knowing the songs is key. Very difficult to just start slapping records on because your mixes will sound like crap and you look like a buffoon

[@franklinturtletek8957]

@@iancowley_DJ I'll write in french I'm not as good in english as I have to be to explain. Sorry. Personne ne se plaint de mes mix quand je joue sur les premières presses des spiral tribe, par exemple, qui sont tous sorti avant 95. Quand ça ne sonne pas comme je veux je joue avec l'EQ et les cut pour que ça continue d'être dansant et je sors mon disque rapidement pour en caler un autre. Une fois que tu as compris la techno, tu te fais danser avec ton son et ça suffit. On fait même du mix disques et live machine ou des ping-pong 4 platines, 4 DJ - donc un DJ par platine et on ne connait pas les disques des autres - en free party avec des amis parfois. Et ça se passe super bien. Pas besoin de sortir du conservatoire de musique, ce n'est ni du violon ni du piano. Et on ne joue pas du Bach ou du Beethoven.

[@krewcialofficial]

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.

[@will-bailey]

Is it good to write the bpm on the record?

[@sknky9774]

thank you really clear introduction! so when mixing two tracks, you try to maintain the cue track locked into master track by nudging the vinyl and in the meantime adjusting its tempo fader until they are in time? that means your focus is on the cue track when listening and determinating if it's faster or slower

[@BopDJstore]

Exactly that! 🙌

[@InspiredGuesswork]

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.

Does queuing while the record is spinning damage the stylus or record? Or should I que when the record isn’t spinning

[@gregtufaro8166]

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

Vynl Real mixing! took me over a year to beat match. Also something I struggled with is when the pitch is on 0 . Nice upload good advice for up and coming djs out there 🙏🙏🙏

[@DJCroBar]

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.

Can you link that video? I'm very interested to learn how to judge this ahead of time

@@cowboyhank456 you have to know you the bpm of your record to know ahead of time. After time you will be able know by hearing it after a few beats.

[@snufbox]

@@cowboyhank456 A good way to roughly work out the BPM on the fly is to count the number of beats over 6 seconds and then multiply it by 10.

Thanks bro..well done

[@BopDJstore]

It what we are here to do! ❤️

[@llewellyn56]

GREAT VIDEO...compare to all youtube video's....Thank you...DJM 250M2 my next buy what do you think..still a good buy

[@BopDJstore]

The DJM-250MK2 is a great mixer perfect for those entering the world of vinyl on a budget and allows you to switch to DVS if needed! Couldn't recommend it enough!

[@КаринаКарпач-д4п]

Hi, you have amazing sound! Tell me what kind of monitors you have?

[@BopDJstore]

In this we used the Pioneer DJ DM-40Ds! Were you looking for a specific monitor that has a certain sound?

[@КаринаКарпач-д4п]

@ Great sound!)👍🏻 What can you say about Krk Rokit 5 g3 monitors?

[@trendingshortshorts]

Is it ok if i just use the tempo fader to match the beats or is that the wrong way? I find that much easier. I just think of it like a gas pedal trying to match the speed of the car beside me (the other record) and i just pull it down and back to just below where it was kinda quickly over and over until i get it to the same speed. I got shaky hands so i always fuck up the speed when I'm trying to slow it down touching the record or the side of the player.

[@trendingshortshorts]

the phrasing i have a hard time with. Are you supposed to actually count all the bars and know how many phrases for every intro before the drop and outro ? Or do you just go by feeling? I just know when the changes are coming and mix the start of the next record but its not always perfectly phrased so sometimes i loose the energy by going into a long intro to early. Obviously this isnt really a problem when you can just set cue points .

[@BopDJstore]

Not at all we recommend it! But that would be more of an advanced technique. We recommend this method as it easier to wrap your head around if you are a beginner

[@fredericthorp]

Watched this video and my decks caught on fire thanks

[@mrandrei8007]

Got a question: what do you think of the new audio technica at lp 120X for mixing vinyl? Is it worth it for beginning?

[@BopDJstore]

They're a solid piece of kit and couldn't recommend them enough for someone getting into the world of mixing!

[@anthonydepachtere]

Very instructive!! thank you!

Best tutorial I’ve seen

[@BopDJstore]

💪 Its what we do!

[@franklinturtletek8957]

on your demo the right one still not perfectly nudged (in french free party we said "ça gratte un peu"). But it's a real good tutorial to learn how to do.

[@allfrieden]

hi what are this 2 tracks names thank you.

[@atomcrash]

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.😊

[@TVD8659]

Great tutorial - Vinyl Dance Music 'Rocks" 🕺🎧

[@BopDJstore]

Many thanks!! 🙌

[@joaofezasvital]

my needle jumps way too much while backcueing, never understood why (3.5g and no antiskating on ortofon mix and technics 1210mk2)

[@BopDJstore]

Thats strange, you went through the proper setup when balancing the needle as well?

[@joaofezasvital]

@@BopDJstoreIt’s a lot better now, I think they were in the “breaking period” and some records (older ones) are worst because the center is too wide and shakes a lot when scratching

[@davidsouza4232]

Amazing!!!

My needles jump out the groove when I cue. I don’t know why. As far as I know I’ve set my turntables, tone arm and anti skating right. How to troubleshoot this?

[@ells101]

Sometimes that happens with lighter weight vinyl. If nothing else works and you are 100% sure you’re setup correctly, consider increasing the mass of the tonearm counterweight. In addition, don’t “back-cue” so hard i.e. dont go back and forth too quickly when cueing. Instead, find the first beat you want to cue, instead of going back and forth, hold just before the first beat and just let go of your hand holding the platter. In essence you need a light touch to avoid the needle “jumping”

[@pucklectic]
