Part ,2 Demo of jog wheel and pitch on a CDJ turntable

2:46 At that point, using the jog wheel, if you can hear it's in beat

Caught up again now watch right i'm going to pause that now simply because we've got a break okay Haven't got headphones on, it's very difficult to try and match beats without any headphones, especially in a break. We'll wait till the beat comes back in and we'll do exactly the same thing. This time I'm going to have the pitch even lower down on the right hand deck so it's going to be even more difficult to mix it in but I'm still going to have to move that jog wheel initially. Check it out. In fact what we'll do, we'll speed this one up a little bit as well. There you go. Now what I'm going to do, start it off and then just move the jog wheel to keep it in beat initially.

5:36 Speed the jog wheel up a little bit

Now I'm having to move the jog wheel a lot because it is quite a bit behind beat. It's gone too fast now. Going off beat again. I'm going to move the pitch a bit now, speed it up, but only a tiny bit. Now bring the jog wheel back into play. Quarter, pitch forward. On this one to mix it into, to the one that's actually playing. So at that point what you can do is press cue, it's gone right back to the start. Now then, because theoretically you've got your pitch control in the right place, all you've got to do then, when you start it off, mess around a little bit with the jog wheel, because there's no need really to mess around so much with the pitch.

Now then at that point, using the jog wheel, if you can hear it's in beat. Good. But at that point, don't all of a sudden think, yeah, you've done it. What you need to do then is you need to listen and listen to see if it's going too fast or too slow. If it's going too fast, you need to slow it down. You need to move this jog wheel anti-clockwise. The opposite applies, okay? Don't forget that. Now we're going to start all over again. We'll play this one. We'll start it off at the beginning. I think it's at the beginning. Yeah. Okay.

And we're going to start this one again, and we'll sort of see how far off we are. You know, we're not perfect by a long shot, but we'll give it a go. Hold on. Right, let's take that off for a minute. We've got a break now, so we'll listen for the break to finish, beat come back in, and then we'll see where they are. Right, they're there. Sounds a bit dodgy, but there you go. Records in at the right, or the CDs at the right time does help. And if they sound well together. Yeah, it's too slow, so I need to spin it up. Start it. Okay, speed the jog wheel up a little bit. When I was finishing that off, what's happening, the one on my right was just that little bit too fast so what I did instead of messing around all over the place with the pitch control which I normally like to do but that's my style okay instead of doing that what I was doing I was fine-tuning using the jog wheel moving it okay just that tiny tiny fragment and then when I got it in beat

I move the pitch control accordingly. Don't forget, clockwise with all jog wheels on all tabletop CD players will make the music go faster. They will work on moving the same principle as a turntable, a vinyl turntable. Anti-clockwise will slow it down, alright? Now I hope this has been a help. I'll do more of these if you want to. Practice and enjoy.
