Have you ever had Rekordbox misanalyze the BPM? I had a flop of a performance on my first set with CDJ's llive. Both were saying they were at 128.0 bpm and I would get them perfectly beatmatched but after a few beats they'd fall out of sync
You need to listen to your content before you use it live. Softwares will analyze tracks in the wrong way, so very often. You should trust yourself to make the arrangements necessary (yes, you can fix the track)
That’s quite common. Just adjust the beat grid in rekordbox on that track. I play jungle/drum and bass and this is a constant nightmare. Easily fixed though
you can hear that the sync button does kinda work, but I would have pushed the track coming in ever so slightly forward amazing setup and nice tutorial, very professional!
My question is simply this, in the beginning of your tutorial you hit the sync button once on each CDJ. Is this something you only do once or do you have to hit the sink button again throughout your set?
Once you turn off sync you just need to adjust the tempo slider back to the songs original bpm and then it will reset to its actual bpm. You want to do this when only that song is playing and the other song has been brought out completely.
You need to analyse tracks in rekordbox, manually adjust the beat grids, and then export from rekordbox to USB to fix this. If you are using sync and your tunes are clashing, the beat grids haven't been automatically detected correctly and need manual adjustment.
You didnt use your ears in the first mix. You used your eyes. You still looked at the screens to make sure the bpm was the same and then also looked at the screen to make sure the kick drums were synced. Might aswell call this cheating
@@hamza1517 he's absolutely spot on. This chap has given a tutorial on using your ears to beatmatch and ESB is absolutely right - he's used his eyes not his ears. You've obviously never DJ'd in your life when you've not had a digital counter in front of you or an app like rekordbox to set your BPM for you. In the old days it was about using your EARS - that was the skill?@?
You know what ? In this day and age, who cares. Yeah it's obviously nice to learn how to beat match and BPM match by ear in case you have to mix on old gear, but using available technology to beatmatch with your eyes is not a crime, let's not be snobs about it
This is absolutely terrible. Using a Bpm read out and the wave display is not matching by ear in the slightest. Matching by ear involves no digital readouts at all.
Sad to see that this should be different. I’m 23, djing for 7 Years and I’m thankful to learn how to DJ on vinyl for 3 years. This is trash and only doable with technology. It’s about the music. … to new DJs: (you don’t have to use vinyl) but please look it up, so you can learn real beatmatching
The gatekeepers in this community. Gotta love it /s
Was looking for basic dj tips but didn't except to find out the Maestro itself, Plastician! Lucky me :D
i love how this is filmed
All of that into is listed in Beatport. Or I can drag the Track into Abelton in Arrangement view which is the first thing that I do

Great video, though I’m learning on cdj200. The process is slow but getting there. Any tips?

amazing setup and nice tutorial, very professional!
Best explanation, thank you !
LEARNED something very Important😀😀😀 GREETINGS from CABO VERDE ISLANDS🤩🤩🤩
plastician the legend!
Can u use beatsync if there is one CDJ2000NXS1 and one CDJ1000MK2 connected to a mixer?
My question is simply this, in the beginning of your tutorial you hit the sync button once on each CDJ. Is this something you only do once or do you have to hit the sink button again throughout your set?
Excellent helped so much
Nicely explained
Track Id on left track please?
Something I deal with is resetting the bpm after a sync when the temp slider is off
Once you turn off sync you just need to adjust the tempo slider back to the songs original bpm and then it will reset to its actual bpm. You want to do this when only that song is playing and the other song has been brought out completely.
Great explanation of what you’re doing but when you brought in the second song using sync it was not on beat. You can hear the lows clashing.
yea, I hear that little flaming too but a cool tut
thats because he didnt cut out any lows from both songs wich is pretty important

this plastic man is alright
No skills needed like on vinyl

Hahaha the goal is to create a good set. Half assing it or not won’t matter that much ;))
