    In this video, I am going to teach you how to beatmatch. If you are new to DJing and you are looking for a beginner DJ lesson, then you are probably wanted to learn about beatmatching.
    Beatmatching is the first thing you need to learn if you want to learn how to DJ. It is the process of mixing one song into the next song seamlessly, so your audience does not know when one track ends and the next track begins.
    If you like the video and would like to know more, please subscribe to the channel and have a look at my training course which I have linked at the top of the description.

      Imagine doing this back in 1986 when I first learned on turn tables and just a few records it was frustratingly difficult because there was rarely anyone to show you these concepts unless fortunate enough to know of someone through connections and their willing to mentor.

    Hi Phil! I'm new to djing and I watched a lot of beat matching videos. Many of them had vague and "celebral" explanations and I was struggling. Your tapping trick is a killer. It worked instantly. The feeling of perfectly aligning tracks is finally kicking in with confidence. Thank you; A lot. My comment feels like a paid message but it's not! Keep it up Phil.

  • @neverbeforeseenvideos2249

    So many “basics” videos out there just tell you what it is. They don’t tell you things like how to make sure your audience doesn’t hear you while you do it by pressing the queue button. This is great. Subbed.

    I mixing hard techno and many times both track play in this same time. Sometimes 3 minutes you hearing both thats the way is mixing. If you play track one by one with this same BPM like M juice than you just play. Jeff Mills sometimes used four turntables and 4 tracks hearing this same time.
    If you mixing sometimes both tracks sounds like totally new version.

      Mix it up! Don't be predictable. Watch videos on different transitions!
