Forum: Mix lessons - Topic: important rule in virtual dj!!!!!

this is for the newbies!!! DO NOT THINK THE BARS AT THE BOTTOM ARE THE ACTUAL BEATS!!
THEY ARE THE LENGTH OF THE BEAT, DONT THINK THAT BY LINING THEM UP BOTH SONGS WILL
BE ON BEAT, SOMETIMES THEY ARE SOMETIMES THEY ARE NOT. THIS GOES FOR ANY TIME OF MUSIC!!


anyone agree?

Yes sir. You are right.

ok, that makes sense. Then how do you sync one song to the other
I know that you need to have the BPM's matched, but I thought that you were supposed to be able to
look at the wave forms and match up the beats
Thanks

Kosmo, your best bet is to mix by ear, the visuals are good for getting close but your ears won't lie.

If I'm correct the CBG's need to be aligned with the beat in order to sync. I don't use the auto sync, but I have shortcut keys on my keyboard for + & - to adjust the CBG's. I do this because some of my samples are set to auto & sometimes off a little with the song playing. The shortcut keys help me to adjust on the fly.

Well, this works for me.
