      pointtwentyfree maybe he just needs some extra advice. Depending on who you are and who you listen to it can change how you understand it. Telling someone to give up is just plain stupid, even if it takes time keep doing what you love. Don’t project your weaknesses into others, just because you would give up doesn’t mean someone else has to.

      It's so much fun to beat match by ear. That's one of the reasons I love spinning vinyl, plus I love the feel of the old school technic 1200s, the new MK7s pitch fader feels so cheap

  • @FoxRivers778
    @FoxRivers778 Před 2 lety

    I'm coming from videos on beat matching by ear using TT's. One big difference I see is the cue button on the CDJ. With a TT, you have to manually cue each time you attempt syncing. However, it seemed to take way longer to sync tracks on a CDJ, blinded of course, than it took to match the TT's. I know it all takes practice with the controls and training the ear. After a while it becomes second nature and you can sync tracks faster.

    Hello ,nice video. Ok, my first player was a cdj100 , then i upgraded to cdj200 because it reads mp3 , it's just a hobby , i do it @ home. What are the significance of the percentage on the first player? I see that the cdj200 has the same below the bpm counter. But it has from 0.00% to 0.50% the same bpm ex: 128 0.00% and 128 0.50% , at 0.55% it already went up to 129bpm. So if you don't beatmatch by ear , what percentage you have to set to be at the same beat as the other song?

    The software is dreadful at getting BPM on music with real instruments played by people. Then beat matching also becomes hard. I normally find a bar or two that i can loop (hopefully the time doesn't move too much in a couple of bars) and practice using this to beatmatch on the outro of the other deck riding the platter to move it around as the transitions approaches, and then do a pretty quick transition. I'm not very good at it yet but i'll keep practicing.
