0:01 How you can practice beatmatching
Alright guys, Jonathan here, The DJ Tutor. In this video we're using a track from Karmic Power Records. It's KPR-153, Love Is Real. There'll be info on the track from Karmic Power Records in the description down here. Now then, I have got the Pioneer XDJ-RX. I am going to show you how you can practice beatmatching. Got the same track on both sides. The pitch is set on the right hand side to 16%, on the left hand side to plus or minus 10%. The reason for that is we've got the same track so of course, you know, you just have to set the pitch right about the same place and hope for the best. No, it's not as easy as that. But by having it at a different parameter means that it's visually slightly more difficult.
Now, what we need to listen for, what you need to listen for is the sound phasing. Now, we're listening for the sound almost like cancelling out. It's a bit like it's sort of going through a bit of a tunnel. So what I'll do, I'll start the right hand deck first and then I'll start the left hand deck later on. You also know I've got another camera on the left hand deck. We, which you shall have a look at very shortly, which will have a close up of me pitching the track. So we'll start the right one first. Here we go. Left one's ready. Now let's start the left one.
1:28 What I was listening for, I was listening for that subtle change
Offbeat there definitely.
Catching up. Slightly in beat. Offbeat so. Again that phasing. That phasing sound.
What I was listening for, I was listening for that subtle change. Now, again, fine tuning. Like that comes with experience and that, you know, I in this video I won't, but in another video I'll go even more in depth into what you're exactly listening for and when you're listening for what you need to listen for, you will do a certain move on the pitch. It's too much to go over now, but I hope that's been a help and I'll finish off with practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
