	BeatMatching Tutorial - How To Beatmatch :: Lazy Records
		When you can do this accurately, beatmatching will start to seem a lot less impossible.
		If you're marking one beat with your body, it leaves your head free to count the other beat, so try marking the beats of record 1 by shaking your leg / hand / other suitable body part & marking the beats of record 2 in your head!
		As you get better you'll be able to hear the beat in all sorts of rhythms, even ones without a kick.

	Beatmatching
		For a DJ wishing to beatmatch using vinyl turntables, the general procedure involved is relatively simple to explain, but harder to master.
		In order to control the records on the turntables, the DJ must be competent in moving the vinyl record with his hand whilst the platter of the turntable is moving.
		To beatmatch, a DJ must be aware of both the songs he or she wishes to blend at all times.

	A Taxonomy of DJs - Beatmatching (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Beatmatching is the act of synchronizing two musical beats so that they are in phase as well as in time.
		In order to beatmatch, the DJ must use two ears, one listening to the track that the audience is hearing and one listening to the upcoming track.
		Thus starting a track and putting it in play mode is a one dimensional continuous task that depends on the speed at which the DJ pushes the track.

		Beatmatching is the most important thing to learn.
		However, don't forget that your priority should be learning to beatmatch, because if you can't do this, it won't matter what other tricks you've got up your sleeve things almost certainly won't sound very good.
		You want to make sure that they are close enough in tempo such that you can actually beatmatch them - if you try and match a 120bpm tune with a 180bpm tune you will find that your pitch controls don't go far enough.

	Beatmatching
		Beatmatching is one of the most important parts of mixing.
		If they start to drift apart you have to listen to see if it's because the second record is too fast or too slow.
		Once you figure this out adjust the pitch accordingly and match the beats again to see if they are beatmatched.

	Beatmatching goes out of sync everytime - Tranceaddict Forums
		I mixed two tracks and I tried to beatmatch the second track while the first one was playing.
		I turned the wheel left (donnu how it is called in english) and it was beatmatched again so I raised the pitch a bit but then it went out of sync again.
		There was no vinyl noise at the end of the track (so it can't be recorded of vinyl and there is no reason that the track wouldn't be recorded at the same bpm).

	"Beatmatching" with new version? - NI Forums
		I called up Tech support and asked them if with their latest version, it is possible to beatmatch songs perfectly "without' having to use "Headphones", they said that all I have to do for "most" songs is to use the "sync" button, I tried that but it doesn't work for a "lot" of songs.
		Beatmatching is the most basic skill of a DJ and if you can't be asked to learn how to do that...well then maybe DJ'ing isn't for you...
		Beatmatching is a basic skill that is used as a stepping stone for other skills and one that makes it easier for you to understand other aspects of DJ'ing such as song structure and phrasematching.

	Beatmatching Information (Site not responding. Last check: )
		More recently, technology has been developed that allows DJs to use actual vinyl records to manipulate mp3s and other digital tracks stored on their computer hard drives to produce the same effects.
		Beatmatching was originally employed by DJ Francis Grasso in the late 60's/early 70's.
		Originally, the technique involved counting the tempo with a metronome and finding a record with the same tempo.

	G.S.P. Magazine - SO, You Want To Be A DJ???
		Beatmatching is making two records play at the same BPM (beats per minute).
		For the sake of analogy, if you and a friend were driving on the freeway trying to go at exactly the same speed, then this 'temoporary' pitch changing could be compared to tapping the acceleration or brakes on your car, while closely watching the other car you're trying to drive even with.
		Since you can beatmatch record #2 in the comfort of your headphones, your mix will (hopefully) sound beatmatched by the time you are bringing the volume up on #2 (thus, releasing #2 into the speakers with #1, creating a mix).

		Never in a million years are you going to successfully beatmix hip-hop at approximately 100bpm with Hard House at 150.
		Ok, the more experienced bods out there will say you can transfer from one to the other, but as maintaining the same speed is not a criteria and beats are not strictly overlapped at the same tempo it doesn't belong in a basic beatmatching tutorial.
		This is where we use the headphones and pitch controls on the decks.

		Beatmatching is one thing but programming is really important.
		I’m sure that if they are watching the crowd then they’ll gain that ability but I think people like myself who have been doing this for a long time, have gained the skills of beatmatching and programming.
		While beatmatching helps to make transitions smooth between songs at the end of the day, people don’t come to listen to the mix they come to dance to the actual songs.

	Question to all DJs here!! - .: SOUNDBASE.RU :: Forum :. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		personally i found beatmatching the hardest but that was because i still didnt have the right tempos lol, now im good in all that stuff hehe, i've heard of harmonic mixing so i googled it and i found some very confusing stuff! does anyone know about that?
		beatmatching it's a normal dj experience this is easy maybe for me because i playing 1 year at decks and beatmatching I teach at virtual dj, try find right tempo to radio NP.
		yeah beatmatching imo it's easy but before playin' on decks, better is to learn on traktor that thing etc. but sync is harder to learn but if u play 2 tracks in right tempo they never desync.

	A DJ earbud? \| Ask MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: )
		And yes, the only time I ever use headphones is when beatmatching or setting up the next track (say, if I want to cut the intro out or whatever).
		The reason you use a monitor instead of listening to the sound on the main dance floor is that there is a delay between when music comes out of the speakers on the dance floor and when it reaches the dj booth, due to the speed of sound.
		If you are not beatmatching, you really don't need to use headphones at all, except to find the beginning of the song.

		Its beat detection algo is very good, I even managed to beatmatch without headphones with just a little shift I corrected while second track was in background.
		The automatic beatmatching works surprisingly well (at least with most music that was made for mixing), best engine I found so far.
		Its not that I could not beatmatch by ear, did this for years, its just that it helps alot if tracks come up at right speed and close to sync.

	Princess Superstar: Village Voice Feature (February 2006)
		In a satisfying twist, her DJ career has helped along her recording career—-she makes music with the dance-floor in mind, and as she tours around the world meeting world-class spinners, they ask for her records.
		A few months ago, Sunshine was at Happy Ending when he saw Alexander Technique wearing a T-shirt that said "No Beatmatching." Alexander explained that Princess Superstar was asked to play the MisShapes party, but with a caveat: There was to be no beatmatching and no playing of electronic dance music.
		As for the "no beatmatching and no electronic dance music" dictate, Greg says he and his partners mostly just wanted to keep the night from turning into a rave.

		Also, you could use the headphone cue fader (if you've got one on your mixer) to pre-mix the tracks in the phones.
		Although don't rely on this to be able to beatmatch if you're likely to be playing out, as you may not have this facility on the mixers you find in many clubs.
		These are all well and good, but I would recommend ignoring them, as you've got to learn to do your beatmatching by ear, not by eye.

		Francis Grasso (1948-2001), popularized several new disc jockey techniques, including beatmatching and slip-cueing.
		Grasso also perfected slip-cueing, the technique of holding a record still while the turntable is revolving underneath, releasing it at the desired moment to create a sudden transition from the previous record.

		I'm a bit confused as I would have thought it was quite obvious how MM does it, as it builds a beat grid based on where it detects the beats to be and therefore is able to align it's beat grids accordingly to cause the beats to hit on time.
		Asking both of them just how they are able to do this, they both replied "timing",in their heads.
		When I say "manual", I mean to simply beatmatch using any software which does not line up the beats for you.

	Frequently Asked Questions
		Continuous mixing can only be done using the automated beatmatching system, which requires knowledge about each song used.
		Thus, songs can be beatmatched by hand, as with a standard dj turntable setup.
		However, the sound output by the two sound cards will likely be slightly out of synch, so the user will most likely need to nudge it slightly for perfect alignment.

	:: View topic - DJing - Using Live 5 like 2 CD Decks (I do the beatmatching)
		I was one of the earlier DJs to start playing using CDs for beatmatching.
		I remember a friend telling me that they overheard a group of people actually walking out of a room I was playing in saying 'that guy over there is pretending to DJ' because they could see that the turntables were not spinning.
		Ultimately, it comes down to the audience, and if they are having fun, then who really cares if you are beatmatching, if its in tune or not, if the dirty hippy in the alley shit the pants he is wearing yesterday, or if Sasha made the song...
