you might either be in the clubs or the institution asking nurses and doctors how to mix.

DJ-Pez, you have to synchronize in the beginning of a singing. All songs have some singings, chorus an then repeats, take the first of this singing. Example: I have a song that have 3 singing and 1 chorus... 1-2-3 then the chorus an again 1-2-3. You have to synchronize in the 1 (or 2) but not in the middle of the singing (exam. between 1 and 2) . You could do a good mix (or cut) with this rule.

It's better to listen and see it, than put it in words.
Good Luck!

hey dj pez,

do you mean you want to get the song following the singing? like you would do if you were playing a instrument playing the same notes as what is being sung?

no offence, but please try to explain things in a way where people can understand it easier.

good luck mate

this is really hard to explain lol right you have a beat i want the beat to go a pitch then a lower pitch then higer again so it goes with the singing in the track or other beat like beat--beat--beat--donk--donk--donk--beat--beat--beat and so on so the beat goes lower pitch then higer pitch so it flows with the song and singing and other beats in the track.lol you most prob thnk am mad but that the best way i cant explain it with words or i can post u a extract of the best am on about thanks anyway for helping me out :D

perhaps you mean shifting the key of a song.

You have one bassline that uses just one tone for example
and you want to adjust that so the tempo remains
but bass tone changes to match the for example vocals of other song ?


This is not possible now in VDJ, or exactly said
it is possible only to play the song for example 4% speed up.
And you can alter whether the voices and all sound is pitched up 4% too or not.
It depends if you use TIMESTRETCH. I have a shortcut for the KEY M (alternative name is mastertempo) and sometimes I use it too that i turn it on/off during mix to get some impressive effects.

To achieve this you must have musical knowledge, it will always sound better done manually than automatically.

You need the 2 pieces to match, you need to sync the beats, so they are both playing over a 32 beat loop at the same time, finally you need to alter the EQ, then cut out the bass line of one of the pieces..

That's roughly it.., it takes time to master, and alot of trial and errorr involved.

DJ_Pez you're problem seem to be that you don't known which is the right beat and which not. It's not easy to explain in words, and more dificult to get understood.

You have too see in live with someone who knowns this basics. And start to get skills that are needed to be a DJ.

Good Luck Pez!

He needs mixing lessons, that is why I posted the link.
Everything you need to know is there, and it's easy to understand.

Pez,
You need to first read the Virtual Dj guide, at least twice. The last one released was version 2.
http://www.virtualdj.com/support/manual/

Then probably read Dj-In-Norway's posting on mixing, which mp3jrick provided the link for in your message. http://www.virtualdj.com/forum/display/6288.html

Last, spend some more time doing search here in the forums. I've found that the best way to really learn this program is from other users and their postings on this forum. But be patient and precise with your questions.

Also using a great skin with many features helps. Everyone has their preferences, I like Mixstation but for others they prefer different styles.

Hope that helps.

Cuidate!

hey djbambi u have to understand the boy's situation... vdj should think of puttin a disclaimer before installing the program warning about a possibility of insanity besides other social disfunctions.
Expecting ANYTHING when putting so much power in the hands of rookies .. anything..

time for me to take my pills and im far from a rookie..

maybe you should find a song that has what you mean then tell us which part of the song to listen to.
