Excellent tutorial. I especially like that you demonstrated matching beats without the beat counting feature of the CDJs. I learned to spin in the day of vinyl and turntables and can really appreciate what you're saying about not relying on the equipment to do the work for you. Nicely done.

[@bigmacntings7451]

+1. never rely on the beat counter,it's the easy way out! if you get the chance learn on SL1210's. you have to do it by ear,and every set is different, like learning to drive a car.

Beating matching is crucial by getting to know the bars of music and the BPM I use both the jog wheel on CDj’s and the speed control at the same to catch the beat. But DJING is MUCH EASIER FOR PEOPLE now than it was with turntables my best advice is take your time and your totally correct with two of the same records go back and forth. I remember doing this with my turntables back around 88’ and you will get frustrated you just take your time and I think people should practice with also instrumental house music it’s easy to hear the count of the beats to practice

[@Steve_643]

Best advice I’ve ever had about beat matching was match the claps or snares in your headphones to what’s playing on the sound system. Practice by playing same track on deck 1 and deck 2 reason being you know it’s gonna be same bpm just have to drop on beat and drag or push the platter depending on which way beat starts to drift.

[@JayGee6996]

Yes but in a nightclub you can’t rely on listening to the sound system because of the delay, you need to match in the headphones

[@JayGee6996]

[@SuperFluidFerroFluid]

I would argue the magic lies not in the way you "beatmatch" but how you mash your tracks together and then match that with the audience,.. With that being said, the art in being a great DJ does not lie in one single element, but the whole thing!

[@lauraemme2530]

[@verness-plpt]

LoFi Art just test it when the track is in your cue. That's what it's for! Easy!

[@carlhudz]

Start the new track a quite a bit slower than the current song, then you know you definitely have to speed up. Small adjustments going faster until matched

[@PanditaP]

Imagine if you didn’t have a screen to look at! Lol.

[@FearRua]

@@PanditaP then you would just write a note that the bpm of the song was xxx.x and when you make your set you have a card you put on the pitch slider that shows where it needs to be set to roughly match the tempo of the previous song, stick a sticker on the vinyl to mark where your cue point is and bam you have all the information that the screen provides. DJs have been using all these tricks for years before cdjs came out.

I'm from the old school using 1200's...I just purchased these 2000NXS2 and was struggling on the vinyl(I refuse to use the sync bottoms) but after using some of your beat matching techniques I now feel like I'm back using my 1200's....thx a 1000 x's

[@Steve_643]

Flash Gordan I know what your saying not having the torque on the platter when I’m down pitching kinda messed with flow and rhythm I get when mixing I was happy when they started to put jog wheel tension adjustment on the CDJ’s. Even tried Denon CDJ with motorized platter but reason why professional use what they use and once you get tuned in on the Pioneers they stay locked in they don’t drift like out of tune Technics 1200.CDJ’s allow you to really be methodical with your mixing and snap the mix points rather than a rushed beat matched fade because you don’t want to risk being off when track drops out of a break that is rhythmless for 2 bars. Also always took me 5-10 records to feel out a pair of Technics that I never played on but the CDJ’s are consistent only variations are with model # .I found that turntables isolated from vibration and level made a huge improvement on how long they kept records locked on beat.

[@jimmythesaint5364]

Good advice. We never had this luxury back in the day. Vinyl can be tricky. Sometimes you battle the whole set trying to beat match if you got a dodgy turntable. But you kinda get used to it......

[@JayGee6996]

Yeah back in the day there are no tutorials! It must have taken me about 12 months to learn and 36 to master.

[@bigmacntings7451]

oh yeah. Every truntable had different characteristics.Your basic bedroom DJ used to have the belt drive soundlabs or gimini's which were quite responsive.The more advanced and pro DJ's had 1200/1210 direct drives and they were a different beast altogether....and as I said every one of those had a different feel, like getting in an unfamiliar car with a differnt clutch depending on how well maintained or abused they had been!! fun times!

[@adrock0801]

Hey, I don't understand all those harsh comments. If you people saying that he is not doing "real" beatmatching, but only relying on the auto beat-sync, would have watched the video until the end, you would have seen that he is explaining later properly indeed (beginning at about 15:00). I find the idea quite good to cover up the beatcounters while practising, and use them after to review how good you were. In the end it all depends what's your goal: Have quick results at home? Rely on the beatcounter, beat-sync and maybe beatgrid. Want to play in public? You would better learn, otherwise you maybe f*cked when either is not working/available. I still believe it is not too bad to use those helping functions regulary, so you can better concentrate on the creative aspect of your set while spending less time for beat matching. On the other hand one should still be able to do it manually, even if it is only for backup purpose, or maybe if you want to use Vinyl at 3rd/4th deck.

[@DJSt3rling]

i'm used to a controller where i can save both waveforms right next to each other. Beat matching visually is very easy. I think CDJ's may be a challenge (playing more by ear), eh?

[@daanvankeulen6715]

Would you recommend to return the pitch slider back to the middle after the previous track has finished, to play the song at the original speed?

[@oliverlopezofficial]

Love beatmatching on the old CDJ-1000 and CMX-3000. Just so satisfying and still doing it. But with modern CDJs/XDJs doesn't make sense for me because Rekordbox analyses the tracks very well and the players display an accurate BPM number. The BPM readout of the CDJ 1000 was really bad, there you have to beatmatch and that's why it was so satisfying for me.

[@nicholasharalambidis2884]

I like cueing to beat match as if I'm playing on turn tables. I just like the feeling. But when you cue with the cue button i think it's more precise

[@AplyGFX]

Use Master Tempo "ON".. it sound better when you beatmatch!

[@SoundofArman]

+Aply GFX Master tempo does nothing to assist your beat match. All it does is keep the original intonation from when the track is played at the speed it is meant to be played, if you speed it up or slow it down a lot. Using the master tempo feature in fact makes the turntable keep the time of the track not quite as well, and if anything, would therefore make your beat match worse, not better.

[@AplyGFX]

OurManVarjMusic It was just a Tipp. I always have Master-Tempo on.. but it's not a "must-have".

[@SoundofArman]

+Aply GFX I get that, I'm just saying though, that if you think it makes beat matching sound better, you are wrong and have misunderstood the purpose of the function. If it sounds better, its because it keeps that intonation of the original track, not because it is helping your beat match.

[@MitchVH]

+Aply GFX I never use Master Tempo anymore. I have found that with some tracks you get artifacts in the sound when slowing down a track, even when its just a little bit! (Not more then 3%) Could be due to a badly mastered track maybe. But I have chosen to never use it again, just to make sure sound quality stays the best possible. You just have to be careful not to nudge a track too much at once, or it may become noticable.

[@BangaWangaTschanga]

I had the same problem and I don´t use it anymore either... but I think it might be because of the pitch "mode" of the player - its the same effect if you e.g. use the wrong warp modes in Ableton Live or the same function in Software like Traktor...

[@Jamie-op8pb]

speeder thank you :)

[@bigmacntings7451]

lots of ways. Pitch control slider if you want to sync beats. If the pitch is similar and musical phrases have vocals or beat-dropped sections you can use the faders and Equalizers/trim pots to blend in and out. A mixture of both if you have got a feel for what is going to drop in where on each track so you don't get conflicting basslines/mids/tops

[@nesNYC]

Good job! But this modern music that was recorded on DAT or other digital sources. 7 years ago yes, the software wasn't what it is today. Rekordbox is pretty accurate in 2023. But if you really want to mater beat matching, do it with late 70's disco or 80's electro. This music doesn't match a grid like modern music and you'll always have to set the pitch at the correct or an average BPM on both players. War Dance (Tom Moulton Mix) by Kebekelektrik and anything done by Cerrone or Gino Soccio is a good starting point. On a modern controller like the new DDJ-FLX10 it's easy to see the wave patterns in RekordBox and match them visually on the PC screen or laptop. If you have CDJ-3000 then you can also match the wave patterns visually. The hidden little secret however is analyzing the uneven beats dynamically. You'll have a more stable grid and easier visuals. BTW I began mixing on Technics 100 belt driven drives in the late 80's so I can beat match by ear. But the new technology makes traditional beat matching a thing of the past. It's always good if you know how to do that because some tracks have changing BPM's but none of that is needed with today's technology.

"Vis a vis the turntable" lol I haven't heard vis a vis since the architect from the Matrix.

[@philwhatever3903]

Just a tip! Don’t try using the same tune on both dex! This will cause phase! Not a bad video other then using the same track as an example! 2 pluses equal a minus! When layering the same frequency!

[@joerivankallo]

That's what the flange effect is about 😉

[@philwhatever3903]

Niels Cloostermans well it can be, flanging is when 2 of the same waves are layered but remain in uniform (and off sync) throughout the wave. Phasing is similar to an all frequency filter as....as it passes sync it filters the matching frequencies. Put simply if its perfectly in sync you wont actually hear anything!

[@zachmachina]

Actually two plusses equals a plus. 1+1=2 When you invert the phase of one, that's when they cancel out. 1+(-1)=0 If you layer the same sound with the same timing, it will just make it louder.

[@philwhatever3903]

Meet The Casual technicaly i think we are both right and wrong on this, yes you would have to invert one wave however. There is no such thing as a negative frequency. A mistake we both made, ;) haha

[@zachmachina]

@@philwhatever3903 I never mentioned anything about frequencies, let alone "negative" frequencies. Phase cancelation is an issue with the amplitude of waveforms; it is not directly tied to frequency. It should be obvious that I am not talking about frequency. I'm merely talking about amplitude of the waveform in relationship to the zero crossing point. A waveform moves back and forth across the zero crossing line. The amount it is moving is called amplitude. If the waveform has no amplitude but is instead flat at the zero crossing line, then there will be no sound. When you add one part of a waveform that is above the zero crossing point with another part of a waveform that is identical except below the zero crossing point (this is what the phase inversion of itself would be), then you end up with a flat waveform with no amplitude and no sound. Because of this, in order for the tracks to cancel out and result in silence, one of the songs would have to be phase inverted. I'm an audio engineer and this is a basic audio principle. I'm not wrong. It is true, however, that if the kick drums of the track are closely timed but not perfectly, the phase could be half a cycle off and result in a quieter kick. But given the declining nature of a kick's amplitude, this would not be a perfect phase inversion. However, that's not an issue here anyway (more for when you're producing the music and layering kicks). Even if it were, there's a number of other things to consider. First, when the tracks are in time, since one is not an inversion of itself, the result is a louder product, not quieter. Second, in a real environment, you're the only one hearing both tracks until they are in time Third, even as you're hearing both tracks, it will coming from different sources (booth monitors/house and headphones). This means that the way phasing could occur (again, this is only for your ear and not theirs) is as the sounds reach your ear, not from within the output source. And once we start looking at phasing from that point, given all these sources are different distances from your ear and outputting different amplitudes, phasing gets way too complicated for me to even talk about here. Fourth, this is all assuming you're actually trying to play the same track from two sources (CDJ's, Vinyls, etc.) live. There are limited applications for this, if any, which makes the entirety of your original comment irrelevant anway. Since this is meant to be practiced in your bedroom where only you can hear, as is done in the video, even if there were extreme phasing issues causing very noticeable differences in volume and it sounded horrible, that doesn't affect the ability to practice beatmatching alone in your room. This is a lot so the short version can be explained like this. 1+1=2 The "phase inversion" of "1" would be - 1. So by adding those together you get 1+(-1)=0. The second animation at this web page demonstrates the constructive and destructive interference of phasing and is a visual explanation of why one waveform added together with itself results in an identical waveform with a bigger amplitude and why one waveform added together with the phase inversion of itself results in a flat amplitude (and therefore no sound). www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/demos/superposition/superposition.html

This is dead useful. He just explained why headphones come into place and why you see DJs using head phones. Now I know why. BTW, what headphones are those and is it possible to customize your logo onto those headphones the way kygo and Avicii did?

[@bigmacntings7451]

it's not quite that simple!. The headphones are used for cueing up and listening to the track you're going to mix in so it syncs up properly.as a recommendation I would say sennheisers are probably the best bang for the buck you will get. It starts getting a bit more complicated when you throw in DJ controllers/ CDJ's and mixers and a PA system. Analogue never had this issue but DJ controllers and CDJ/Mixer combo's have a DAC(digital analogue convertor) built in.They process the sound from the MP3/CD and turn it into an analogue waveform like you would get off decks.Unfortunately when this is processed it creates a small time delay that needs compensating(there is a setting in preferences section of rekordbox that will adjust). You need to fiddle with this to get your phones and audio output in sync.(5.3ms is my setting)..but this depends on what monitor setup you have....even nastier on a big rig in a big room with crap monitors,the delay can be rotten sometimes and turn a good DJ into jelly.

[@bigmacntings7451]

What's the tune you change to on left hand CDJ?

[@djclovisa5463]

i understand using the same track to learn to mix but personally I think one should learn with two different tracks.Ones ear doesn't adjust and hear the tracks especially when you starting out.Its easier to distinguish beat speeds from different tracks ...thats just my take. Great lesson though

[@bigmacntings7451]

if you're just starting out ie total noob,then both tracks the same is the easiest way to get the synchronisation. when you get a bit more confident,then have a try with two different records of just percussion of different speeds. Once you've mastered that, then start getting a bit more creative with the music and LISTENING to each track you have.Learn the pitches,patterns, phrases and breaks of each and have a play to see what will work well with what.This is the bit where you can really start to have some fun because you can start to make music with music.I'd say this is the most fun part because it really expands what you can do and it takes some real memory skills to know each track in your collection inside out!! The next level up after this is deliberate phasing(similar tracks just out of sync to create that reverb and tunnel effects) and scratching.

I am not a beginner DJ, but the last two years I have relied on the wave form and have great mixes using serato. I purchased CDJ 2000's and now I'm a bit nervous and appears I'm struggling a bit. My question is once I master the beat matching and let's say I would like to mix in a drop before the end of a 16 bar, but I am having a hard time getting the beat correct on the other deck before the drop. What do you do? I mean you are in a live mix. You don't want to make any mistakes. I feel it would like a while to adjust the jog wheel or pitch and bring the drop it correctly.

Personally having done most of my mixing back in the early days with technics you just gotta tough it out.You can definitely drop the mix if it's only just needing a small tweak.This was easier to adjust on vynil than digital, the jog wheels on CDJ's and controllers are a lot more sensitive. Vynil was either a small manual twist of the spindle to advance or a small finger drag on the platter rim to retard.

if I'm trying to start to learn how to DJ do you think it is a bit much too purchase CDJs and a mixer such as in this video so there is no need to buy better equipment in the future, or would you recommend something else?

[@kubabednarz225]

skateboardD12 I would start off with something less complicated to understand the basics then upgrade once you know what you are doing

I say if you know that your going to use them and they aren’t going to collect dust buy once cry once. When you start mixing a lot and start using different rigs setup at clubs , party or even a friends house you can tell difference in good equipment and crap.Really much more enjoyable using high end professional rig something you would see at the club AH Xone 92 mixer Technic Sl-1210 turntables, Pioneer DJM mixers and CDJ - 2000 or any Pioneer CDJ ,Rane mixers are kick ass, some of the Denon gear is soild. Never get cheap on your headphones IMPORTANT and needles if your playing vinyl or even using DVS setup. You want to find pair of Headphones that allow you to make correction b4 anyone can hear the near collision. Nothing worse than having a train wreck and your not sure if need to speed up or slow down so a pair of Headphones that you can quickly position from off to firmly over your ear allowing you to apply pressure so you can isolate the track you’re mixing from the main mix which can get tricky when everything is blending together you want firm foam and leather covering outside of cups to create a seal around your ear.Highend sound drivers that bring out mid low to mid frequencies your kicks, snares, claps, really crisp transients allow you to recognize what tempo corrections are needed while keeping headphones at a safe volume. Cheap headphones allow frequencies to bleed together and don’t isolate the different tracks your mixing ,causing you to turn volume up high damaging hearing while not really helping you mix.

I think for a basic beginner setup, then you shouldn't be spending £4k. Personally I would budget for maybe £500 and get a pioneer DDJ (I think the DDJ 400 is actually quite ok for a starter),and some decent headphones and speakers.you will appreciate the sound quality!. If you want a bit lower cost then you can go the serato route and an numark controller, but I found the numark stuff to be a bit flimsy.The pioneer is much better build quality and with rekordbox you'll have all your tunes in the right format should you want to progress/get invited to do club sets

easy with cdjs... you are all djs nowday :D

[@TheDarkInstall]

2:20 More like, by playing the track at a higher tempo, you are shortening the wavelength cycle. Shorter wavelength = increased pitch, and vice versa.

[@greentroll9326]

nice setup mate

[@influences_podcast]

Just wondering, do you have the CDJs on vinyl mode?

[@lordbutler482]

All these latest Cdjs do it for you,you have a bpm counter and sync buttons -look at James hype
