Ride the pitch PART 2, Dj help in beat matching

0:00 I mean when I say ride

Folks, this is the second video in riding the pitch. What I'm going to do now is I'm going to show you what I mean when I say ride the pitch and if you don't, what can, not maybe will, not will happen, but what can happen if you don't keep your finger on the little old pitch button over there, okay? What I'm going to do, I'm going to do the mix twice. The first time, I'm just going to try and get it in beat and leave it, see what happens. Second time, ride the pitch, keep it in beat and we'll see the difference, okay? The two records I'm using... It's Stardust The Music Sounds Better With You and Lola's Theme by The Shapeshifters. Okay, here we go. What's happening is basically the beats are going all over the place. I'll do that one more time. Okay, basically what's happening is this. The beats started off correctly at the same time. Bang, bang, bang, bang. But slowly they do this. Bang, bang, bang. They go off. They almost start to move apart from each other. That's why it's important you look at the video with regards to the cars.

2:59 This time I'm going to ride the pitch and see what happens

Because if you think about it, for two vehicles to go at the same speed, 25 miles an hour, together they'll stay together. But if one is going at 25 and a half miles an hour, it will look as though they're staying together but very slowly the one going at 25 and a half will eventually start to creep up and go faster. Or alternatively, if it's going slower, eventually it'll go slower behind the other one. This time I'm going to ride the pitch and see what happens.

Right, basically the difference is this. What I was trying to do is simply one thing. I was trying to keep them in beat when and or should I say if I was playing in front of the public. Instead of trying to look good and messing around here you're actually not because if the beat goes off sync it ends up looking crap and sounding even worse. Concentrate on this, concentrating the beats together initially when you've mastered that Then you can mess around here, then it looks fantastic. Practice and enjoy. Thank you for watching.
