bro as someone who just started DJing thank you for sharing such an amazing tutorial without trying to sell a course. But also having the most explanation and technique on how to beat match by ear on TH-cam. You sir are a legend. Keep doing what you're doing.
I imagine you are a really patient person, the way you explain and show these things is superb. It's easy to watch and when practicing I know exactly what to adjust to match it as close as possible. So thank you for being an online teacher for all of us newbies here :)
@@djpaladino I'm just saying, manual beat match is not rocket science, all you need to know is how to count to 8 and actually hear tempo mismatch. If u need someone to show you something that's so obvious, maybe it's not your thing
pointtwentyfree maybe he just needs some extra advice. Depending on who you are and who you listen to it can change how you understand it. Telling someone to give up is just plain stupid, even if it takes time keep doing what you love. Don’t project your weaknesses into others, just because you would give up doesn’t mean someone else has to.
It's so much fun to beat match by ear. That's one of the reasons I love spinning vinyl, plus I love the feel of the old school technic 1200s, the new MK7s pitch fader feels so cheap
You’re my favorite dj to learn from, very simple and genuine explanations. Beat matching reminds me when there was 2 leaks at the same time in my bedroom toilet and I listen to them while they disturb my sleep, yet they sounded great when one drop catches the other and match it 😅😂
Really well done, this is something 100% of all DJs should know. Sink does not always work correctly and you have to know how to fix this on the fly. If you don't know how to beat match by ear. Take the time to practice this, it's the MOST important skill when mixing.
This is a great video. I learned old school using vinyl on 1200s years ago and with all the controllers and software now I find that it is not perfect. Learning how to beat match by ear and understanding the process is an essential part of being a dj.
Amazing video Arman! Thanks so much. I've been beatmatching by ear for a while now, but only after syncing the BPM that I'm reading off my screens. It's good practice, but I want to learn to beatmatch by ear fully now so thanks for the video!
Even though i'm on a DDJ-1000SRT controller where you have to use a laptop which IMO makes it easy to beatmatch this is a strong technique i need to master. Thanks for the upload !
Amazing. The software fails a lot in Salsa music because all the instruments and vocals, for this reason I need to stat learning beat mactch by ear. I think I just found the best tutorial. Now I will need to practice a lot to adquiere this skill =)
I'm coming from videos on beat matching by ear using TT's. One big difference I see is the cue button on the CDJ. With a TT, you have to manually cue each time you attempt syncing. However, it seemed to take way longer to sync tracks on a CDJ, blinded of course, than it took to match the TT's. I know it all takes practice with the controls and training the ear. After a while it becomes second nature and you can sync tracks faster.
This should help me so much thx it might be a bit more challenging as dnb is a more complicated genre to dj but hopefully I get the hang of it I just want to get out the habit of djing using the given tempos
Fantastic idea, many thanks for that! Now my question is how to make that fast? Love to play drum and bass and beat matching by ear seems impossible for me as I don't have more that 30 seconds to do it. Even 30 seconds I think it is too much for a fast drum and bass mix.
I understand that you're demonstrating a technique here, so I'm not hating - but this was maddening to watch :) Inside I'm screaming "just put the pitch fader RIGHT THERE, you can HEAR that's where it needs to go, arrrrggggghh"
The software is dreadful at getting BPM on music with real instruments played by people. Then beat matching also becomes hard. I normally find a bar or two that i can loop (hopefully the time doesn't move too much in a couple of bars) and practice using this to beatmatch on the outro of the other deck riding the platter to move it around as the transitions approaches, and then do a pretty quick transition. I'm not very good at it yet but i'll keep practicing.
@@SoundofArman ok I will look into it. I am looking for a device that I could plug into my master out on rx2 and connect this with my mobile so while I shoot a video I will have a good sound as well. Will this zoom h1 work with my mobile?
Hi Arman! Thank you so much for the helpful video. I am wondering how we can do this in a live environment? Seems like this would take quite some time to trial and error. How would we do this quickly so we don't miss the transition?
Hello ,nice video. Ok, my first player was a cdj100 , then i upgraded to cdj200 because it reads mp3 , it's just a hobby , i do it @ home. What are the significance of the percentage on the first player? I see that the cdj200 has the same below the bpm counter. But it has from 0.00% to 0.50% the same bpm ex: 128 0.00% and 128 0.50% , at 0.55% it already went up to 129bpm. So if you don't beatmatch by ear , what percentage you have to set to be at the same beat as the other song?
I think that beat match by ear its something more easy than hit the play bottom at the right time in the exactly moment in the exact beat that you need to. That's the more hard thing to do. And something more scared than beatmatching.
Why one cannot use sync to beatmatch? Every dj I see use platters for the new song to be in phase with the other so I guess that there is still some advantage of beatmatching manually, isn't it?
If you had a watch you could just make your life a lot easier by just counting the beat per minute, that's how we did it back in the 80's and all the time you were fidgeting around there you would have been done and got your count and wala, mix done. Everyone has their own ways of doing things, i know that would bother the crap out of me. I would rather count my beats for the whole minute and get it over with.
I have a problem on serato DJ. After I finish my beat match, sometimes the beats slide off each other with no fault of my own. The two songs have the same BPM but for some reason, one goes "faster" then the other and the beats are not matching anymore. Does someone knows how to fix this problem?

You're a genius with the over or under pitch technique.... I've finally learned how to beat map by ear... Thank you sir...
dude, really? u needed someone to show you how it's done? quit now before it's too late and all your hopes and dreams are flushed into toilet
@@pointtwentyfree wow we really need less people like you

This is the best explanation ever.
This was the ONLY video that made me understand how to do beat matching properly. Thank you so much.
I love the car analogy!!!...great idea!!...really helped understand!

Best explanation I’ve EVER HEARD!! Very patient with your tracing aswell, thanks so much
@Anayah Unique You need to do more videos on your channel...
@@Avatar-the-name awww thank you I’ll be releasing music soon
In my opinion you make the best DJ tutorials on TH-cam. You're a great help. Love you man
Thank you for the kind words!
@@SoundofArman You deserve it ;)
this has been the best instruction on this subject so far. Great work Arman, and thanks!
The track is Yotam Avni - Jorniel (the vocals are from a famous old Tunisian song)
This is the best TH-cam video on how to beat match by ear. Many thanks Arman!
For someone totally new to this, I must admit this is a great explanation. Thank you!
I’ve used this technique since the beginning and my take on this is that it’s the best way to learn how to real mix and sync
You are better than the rest in explaining how to beat match, it is simple and straight forward,keep up the good work
That car analogy was perfect!
Great tutorial thanks I want to practice in case I ever get to try on vinyl again thank you!
This is the best tutorial on this subject ive seen so far! Thank you!

Easiest beatmatching video watched so far, Very nicely explained thank you.
I could never tell which track was ahead or which one was behind, thanks to you good sir now I can
Right on!
You are amazing!!! Thank you so much for this. Great explanation! Love it!!
Great beat matching tutorial on how to properly lined up two songs. I've learned a lot by watching your tutorials. Thanks.

Thanks :) Now I know how to find out wether to speed up or slow down a song
I definitely want to use this more so that I can do this and only use the screens/laptop to confirm. Thanks for the video.
Hey dude thanks so much u did a very nice job trying to explain all this congrats u are awesome
love the way how you explained using the cars, very helpful!

Very useful Trick, thanks
So well explained. Thanks.
Thanks for the Explantation. That helped me a lot. 👌🏻:)
Great tip man !! Your videos are so helpful. Btw what's the device you are using to have a good sound while you recording a video?
Its just a Zoom H1 Handy recorder - I sync up the video to the audio in post.

Once you get good at this it becomes a lot faster and more intuitive. You'd be surprised how fast DJs can beat match even on vinyl.
New djs are mindblowned. 🤯
"mindblowned" 😂
Great info 🔥
the car analogy was helpful
sooo good .. thank you
Seriously helpful video!
Thank you so much bro!!!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
He Man thank you shall try this tonight.. if required can I ask you questions
I liked the RC car thing. I love RC and DJ'ing too. Instead of using a Mugen, you should have used Tekno RC Cars. Lol.
Very well demonstrated
that's such a good exercise to practice. now I just have to find 15 minute tracks to have enough time to match haha no but fr a good video
how to beat match if the new song begin with an acapella?
Man , imagine, Im french and your explanations were so perfect that I understood all you said ! Cars were an good example , good pedagogue
Why not use master tempo?
perfect video
Great stuff. What tracks did you use in the video. I liked them
Yotam Avni - Jorniel (the vocals are from a famous old Tunisian song)
Awesome tutorial! one question, what tempo range would you suggest the faders be set to?
I keep my tempo on plus minus 16 but it also depends on the genre u are going for
@@aripjeetsidhu3819 thx for the reply!

Other one had to be removed due to copyright issues.
I love him
Do u really apply that to a gig tho?
useful fun ;) good work mate
Could you please suggest me some tracks to practice beatmatching
Ones withing a difference of 9 at the most I believe he said
What's the difference between these and turntables?
Appreciate the upload!
Nice Video 👌🏻
Can you auto cue the first kick of every song on the pioneer decks?
Such a great tutorial ty
thanks you bro
can we just hands on pitch and jog after using sync button?
So Helpful
Can I ask what speaker you are using sir ?
What equipment ru using

Legend
whats the name of the songs?
i dont think u can do it in the nightclub where i work. good luck bro.
but my question is, if it takes this long to figure it out... surely during a mix you would just run out of time.. how do you speed up the process?
Practice, practice Practice!!
@@sdot3358 I'm almost there now brothaa
Thanks man
the pitch slider seem to be upside down... speed up- up... slow down -down.. would be more intuitive
I have a problem on serato DJ. After I finish my beat match, sometimes the beats slide off each other with no fault of my own. The two songs have the same BPM but for some reason, one goes "faster" then the other and the beats are not matching anymore. Does someone knows how to fix this problem?
some songs change their tempo naturally during the track, if thats not the case idk
Also serato could be analyzing slightly wrong, that’s why best matching is so important
You are from Turkey
speaker positions make me cry
tq sir
One love man
Is there a way I can use my we Dj software on my phone and actually Dj and use my headphones too to listen to the next track I’m about to introduce ?
Yess
Yes u can
Keep you tubing I saw it on here
Great tutorial! What is the track name with the vocals, I love it
Legend has it the left track is still playing too fast
How the hell you suppose to do this live if it takes forever 😂
I love you❤
