Beat-matching As Your Hobby

By Emilie Fouquet

It is the art of mixing two musical compositions together seamlessly by speeding up or slowing down one of the songs to align their rhythms.

How fast or slow it may seem, you need to personally hear the music or the kind of beat you are about to create. To be able to make this possible, one must live out the skills you supposed to perform.

- Prior to engaging in beat-matching, I am about to reveal the 7 ways to get right on business.

Step 1:

Look for means that you can hear music from your headphones and other song is played on the chief sound system.

Step 2:

Play a track though the sound system.

Step 3:

Find another track in your headphones you want to beat-match with the one playing. For the songs you wanted to play at the moment, a DJ mixer can be very effective in performing these activities by turning on a cue.

Step 4:

Find the first beat of the track you are going to mix in, and hold it right there. But when you use turntables or CDJs, you can actually snatch to the beginning of the record to pause the track where the beat set in motion.

Step 5:

Listen to the beat playing through the main speakers. Hang around for the first beat of a cycle. Music in 4/4 timing is typically composed around cycles of four and eight counts. ie. This one alters the music and beautifies it, four beats in a bar and four bars segments.How to know when it is the right beat you are mixing on? It is when you sense the music hit on the first beat with a crashing sound. through the use of your headphones only

Step 6:

Immediately after releasing your hold on the record or CDJ, you must listen closely in your headphones with one ear to detect whether the beat you are mixing in is going slower or faster than the one already playing. If it is slower than you wanted it to, just get to the button of the pitch slider and there you can decide to push it and get it tuned up with record A. When you do not like that it gets faster every time, kindly and patiently turn down the pitch slider on the turntable or CDj. You may take my suggestion to tap the side of the turntable plate or CDJ to slow it more.

Step 7:

When all beats are aligned rightly or close to perfect, get the fader to the middle with the bass cut on the beat or music you are joining in. (you don't want the basses of both tracks going at the same time) Then when it seems like the right moment switch the basses either slowly or fast and the switch over to the next track on the first beat of first cycle. - 40729
