    From a DJ here who started on vinyl 25 years ago, this is sage advice. Even with sync on newer gear, you need this foundational skill. Great video brother!

      Do you though....really?
      If you're using your own, pre-prepped tracks then the sync button does it quicker and better.
      I suspect this will be the last generation who even thinks about this stuff.

    • @TammoLWD
      @TammoLWD Před 9 měsíci

      Late reply, but yes even with all your tracks prepped to perfection, you still need these fundamentals. Different key snares for example can sound of even tho their grids are synced perfectly. This needs some micro adjustments on the fly.

    i've been mixing for atleast 5 years and I still watch this, don't know why... had nobody to learn me back then i was learning by myself and i think its the best way, but the way you show and explain to people is awesome, also what helped me mostly about beatmatching techno is that i went on full on oldschool equipement with DJM 400 and CDJ 350 , therefore u dont have visuals only track lenght and your ears, best way to learn how to beatmatch, no need to cover anything :) what also got me better in beatmatching is my playstyle i love to mix tracks 130-133 bpm with hardtechno 142+ , those are way off from each other and once u get them together feeling is increadible :D

  • @GPS08
    @GPS08 Před rokem +9

    If you're using rekordbox, press Space bar to hide the waveforms.
    Definitely the hi's/mids are a better option. Especially so when I play bass/deep dubstep where it's easier to match the snares than the kick.

  • @davidchew
    @davidchew Před 2 lety +3

    Been DJing since the 80's during the era of vinyl, and I used to train DJs back then as well. We had nothing buy vinyl, so there was no way we could loop intros or instrumental breaks, All we had was a manually counted BPM. I still spin today, but looking back, I've always felt all those who wanted to be DJs should start on vinyl. They would immediately learn these basics of beat matching. Your video brings back memories of the old days!

  • @kennethmalafy503
    @kennethmalafy503 Před 2 lety +17

    Great video! I agree about the highs, I truly feel the beats are "locked in" when you get those highs in line. It gives that "crisp" feeling. Beat matching is all about "feeling." Once you get it, you will "feel" when the beats lock in.

    • @brunocristan7047
      @brunocristan7047 Před 2 lety +1

      Yea it makes sense since snare and hi hats shorter "notes" than the kick therefore you don't have much room for error so it will be more precise but harder to master.

    @cosmicpuma1409 Před rokem +2

    Coming from vinyl and without saying it after the fact, the highs are what I use and have always used for beat matching...You are absolutely right, the precise limited sound of the highs make it the best way to beat match, in my humble opinion and until I switched to Denon gear, the blue in the RGB waveform and the way it is laid out in Traktor and Rekordbox, give you the same reference point.....Awesome vid, cool vibes! Thanks so much.

    Awwww you're so sweet and smiley, Andrew. You've made me feel so much clearer about my DJing, and the way you explain techniques actually make sense - and I remember what you teach. I mean thinking of the jog wheel as a clock, so simple... genius! :) The course is so worth it and so welcoming, no matter what level you're at eg, I got so much out of the material which I didn't expect. I've had musical training and a natural ear but had been winging it DJing for years, probably made it much harder for myself tbh!

    Thank you big time for the info and the tips and hints. => "Focus on what's truly important: Connecting like-minded people through music and creating world class atmospheres that leave people inspired and wanting more." Sign every word of that. That's what drives me when I play sets. Creating waves of positive energy to affect hearts and souls in a good way and have it multiplied by listeners in the best case.
    in my existence as rather "young" DJ with about 2 yrs. of practical experience I can play more with beats meanwhile and I do feel them definitely better than at the start but proper beat matching by ear I still can't do (laziness and the availability of a synch button is one part of the problem 😁 ). Thanks for the inspiration, I'm going to practice again now (..in a bit 😀 ).

  • @jlfkaotickreations4747

    I’ve been following you for a while now. But I haven’t watch most of your beginners vids. This one auto played and when you got to the third way to beat match it made me smile. I learned on vinyl. And it took me more than 5 years to learn how to beat match. Being partially deaf in one ear. Also has left me close to tone deff. So the bass all blends together more often than not. So when I was learning how to mix. I had to find a marker in the music to use. Well I mix off the highs and mids. High hats or snares. To me they sound like a metronome, so those tones became my natural marker to mix on.
    Keep up the good work!
