NADJ SHOW 2008 VIDEO 6, beat mixing tutorial

Demonstration purposes, I'll give you an idea. What you need to do is find one of your best tracks and make an exact copy of it.

The right hand deck, you take the left hand plug out of mixer, so the right hand deck is only coming through the right screen. Then the left hand deck, you take the right hand plug out, so that's only coming through the left. Now think about this logically, if you get those two tracks dead center and you start them off at the same time, you're going to have a stereo sound But it's going to be the one track, but on two players. Now what will happen is if you reduce the speed on one, you're going to start to get an echo. So then what you need to do then is practice by reducing the speed on the other one and then the echo will start to disappear. And also what you'll find is that the sound as it's perfectly beatmatched will almost seem to move

From speaker to speaker. And sometimes you'll see it'll sound as though it's zooming fast, but eventually, as you start getting it perfectly beatmatched, it'll move slower and slower until eventually it'll just stay in the middle somewhere, and that's when it's perfectly beatmatched. So, for example, take a step off together. Say again? Have you bought yourself a ticket? No, I haven't, no. How much are they? Oh, that's not bad. You don't buy a ticket, you don't win a prize. Have you got one as well? Oh, good man. Alright, cross fingers. Do the same hit as him and everyone's gonna go, who the hell is he?
