Beat matching techniques<\/p>\n
Cross fading and EQ shift can help switch slowly to song B when two songs are perfectly beat matched. The equalizer will cut off the bass drum in song A to avoid a flanging effect. Never play with all the basses all the way up. Practice sudden breaks, faster fades and gaps to keep the crowd dancing by giving the music more punch. Other beat matching techniques include pitching and nudging. If the tempo of the two beat-matched songs overlaps, there may be a synchronization drift. To correct this, identify the slower song and pitch it just a little and nudge forward to synchronize the beat again.<\/p>\n
Positioning involves starting a song that is playing at the correct tempo at the correct moment. To start it at the correct moment, you can nudge the song a bit forward or back while looking at the waveform. To automatically match the beat of the upcoming song, use the sync function. The function may cause a change of pitch, which you can correct by pitching and nudging. Use the cross fader to go live when beats are in sync. Before going live, use the headphones to identify if the songs are perfectly beat-matched.<\/p>\n
Choice of music<\/p>\n
Old music or music recorded live may be hard to beat match. This is because the drum beats are produced by human and may be irregular. Such music may not have the perfect rhythm because the beats have not been synchronized using a sequencer or produced by a drum machine. The BPM of the songs an individual wants to beat match should not vary with a huge margin. Furthermore, some styles of music can be difficult to beat match with others. Learn the concepts behind choosing the ideal music.<\/p>\n
Customize the platform<\/p>\n
Beat matching Virtual DJ software has unlimited customization options. After mastering the platform, an individual can use the options to help when mixing. One of the options is using hot keys. This allows the individual to control the system without necessarily using the mouse.<\/p>\n
Avoid distorting the mix<\/p>\n
The volume level of music varies differs greatly. Therefore, when an individual finishes with a mix, he or she should ensure the next song has the same volume.<\/p>\n
