From RA's "The art of DJing: Intergalactic Gary", Published on Nov 20th 2015: "What advice would you pass on to aspiring DJs?" "Try using just the pitch-fader while correcting your mix instead of the platter." 8 and a half years later, this is exactly it. Learning pitch riding is probably much harder at the beginning. But when you'll learn it, your fingers will follow your ears effortlessly. And this video perfectly shows it.
When I first started to learn how to dj. Which was in Detroit Dec 1980 this was what you had to learn to do. Not what you wanted to do, but what you HAD TO DO! If you didn't or couldn't do this, you never played. Your friends would diss you for years until you got so nice, they couldn't diss you. Still to this day that is the backbone of the art. Being able to play anything with anything and make it work regardless of live drumming and different beats per minute. That is when the world of music fully opens up.
I'm no vinyl purist but have a few old Disco 7 inches lying around and managed to do this today, it's like end game DJing. Never been strictly vinyl but always been able to pitch ride to beat match and this technique takes it to a whole new level, you really have to hone in on the beats. Going to practice this more and I feel a lot of modern DJ's should purely because it helps calibrate the ears and teaches proper technique as opposed to just relying on the software. Nothing against digital DJ's of course, I am primarily digital but can still appreciate the vinyl way. :)
First of all, aint no sync button on 1200s and even if it was it cant do much for live percussion cause the BPM isnt syncopated perfectly which is what he is explaining, You just witnessed real DJing. Now sat back and LEARN!

Mixing live bands on vinyl like disco takes true talent. DJ Dan imo is pound for pound the best at pitch mixing on 1200’s.

Tight control of the pitch / synchronization
