In The Bedroom, are you a quickie or a longie when you screw...

..up a transition;) .

I'm talking about when you know that you got the BPM matched but you notice that the beat is going off, do you keep it stable by nudging it or do you find a alternative route of crossfading it fast.

The main reason i'm saying this is because whenever i go clubbing, i realise that the DJ can't be bothered or doesn't have the skill to maintain the beatmatch, all they do is crossfade out of there as soon as possible to avoid crowd disappointment.

Obviously the bedroom and club is different but i want to know how many of you people TRY to maintain the beat for as long as possible.

Yep, but for some reason i find it harder to fix it by nudging on the CDJs rather than the turntable. Thats why i like mixing more on the turntable, much easier.

The main diff between records and cd's is that you 'can' touch the media with records as opposed to cd's in cdj's (encased in a cd player). You have more control of records than cd's for this sole reason. Also regarding beatmatching and mixing - You need to get into a habit of adjusting the pitch instead of 'nudging' the tune that ur mixing. Doing this keeps the mix smooth and without signs of speeding up and/or slowing down AND makes you a better DJ (this can vary depending on the style of trance you play...sometimes cutting the track sounds better than playing it out). It takes a lot of practice but you'll eventually get there as your ear will eventually be trained listen for it. Hope this helps bro and good luck.

yes, i too am perfecting this method that dj's are hesitant to embrace. to me, nothing sounds better than a good array of galloping beats. although it may suggest that i neglect the fundamentals of mixing, it allows me to branch off into an individual and unique style that the likes of Van Dyk and Tiesto could only envy...

ing beatmatching motherf*&%$# why does have to be so f*$#@& goddamn hard!!! :( :mad: :(
