How to Beatmatch BY EAR!

Beatmatching is one of the the first steps in learning how to mix. Beatmatching well can hide transitions from your audience and surprise them by taking them in a new direction that they didn't even notice. But it has to be smooth! Otherwise it can have the opposite effect and make you look like a noob. In this video I will show you the basics of controlling both the speed and the phase of two tracks. In this demo I am using CDJ2000Nexuses and a DJM2000, but you can learn to do this on nearly an DJ hardware/software.

Imo you don't explain enough the working of jugging the jogwheel and adjusting the pitch fader. So i'll explain it in a more clear dummy way: You cue up and let go on the first beat of the bar. Listen and if it sounds bad you start jugging the wheel forwards or backwards untill it starts sounding "ok", leave it for a second or 2, listen and when it starts to sound bad again adjust the jogwheel again. Do you have to jugg forward to make it sound better? Ok now you know 100% sure the track you try to beatmatch has slower bpm then the main track playing out loud. If you have to jog it backwards to make it sound better the track you try to mix is obviously faster bpm. Now each time you turn the joggwheel to a point where it starts to sound better again you adjust the pitch fader in the corresponding way. If you have to turn to joggwheel backwards (so counterclockwise) that means you try to slow down your track so you should adjust the pitchfader up (wich is MINUS) Always keep turning the joggwheel untill the beats are matched and listen how fast the beats start to drift out of sync again. The faster they drift apart, the bigger the adjustment needed on the pitchfader. There will be a moment where they will stay in beat like 10-15sec and slowly drift again, but that means you have them nearly beatmatched and the pitchfader should be adjusted VERY slightly. The joggwheel is just a temporary adjustment of getting the beats in line, you keep them in line by actually adjusting the pitch with the pitchfader. The joggwheel is just pushing the beats, it is not adjusting the tempo of the actual song. So its prety much: joggwheel - pitchfader - joggwheel - pitchfader - .... untill you don't need to turn the joggwheel anymore and the songs are beatmatched.

When I started practicing beatmatching by ear I would have one song playing on one deck and keep it on a loop. Then I'd use the other deck to beatmatch. Once I got it I spun the jog wheel to mess it up and then beatmatch it again. I'd do the same with different songs over and over. It really helped me and hopefully this helps someone too

Holy mother of God!!! Nice setup bro!! Oh, and great video ;) But practice is key for sure. I would suggest for beginners to keep that tape on the BPM counter to really learn how to hear the mix and beat match; a skill that once learned, will never leave you.

its a good tutorial. my main sttyle is dnb and its a little bit harder. you must focus on the snare/clap (2 and 4), cause the kick can be on 1, 3.6 and 4. but the way u explain it you can do it on every style. and most important: you can do it on every dj device. controller, cdj and (in my case) turntables... its always the same and the classic oldschool beatmatch. i used the same technic like you on my turntables so i can realy say: good tutorial for the beginners.

Djs today don't know there born. It was a real skill to get a vinyl to match. No bpm, no wave screen or auto sync
