How does that work then? Just makes it much easier?
Iv just got decks, never tried CD's........
yr asking me for lessons!
lol... ermmm... personally i started doing following...
1. Got my brain trained to listen to two sound sources... once i could seperate 2 tracks in head... i started to match beat quicker... (i set 2nd track slower delibrately cos i find it easier to match beat by playing catch up...
2. i use the time left display and jot down time to indicate where i should start cued up track... even tho i do this i count beats in my head - 1,2,3,4 - 2,2,3,4 - 3,2,3,4 - 4,2,3,4 repeat...
3. tape what u do, or have someone there with ya to comment... can learn loads by analysing yrself...
4. started to blend it beats from a certain point instead of dropping it in straight in (listen to Mix i did between Libre and Join me brother - started beat in track 2, 2 bars b4 i faded across...)
5. i try n make use of every aspect of the tunes i use...
thats as far as ive got...
ive read - How to DJ properly - not a how to book, but kinda explains things really good (esp for vinyl)...
hope that helps!
