DJ Beat Matching: Initial Attempt

Video Transcript

"So now we've picked out two records that are close enough in speed we're going to be able to match them. And I really don't want you to worry. This really takes most DJ's at least a year to learn how to do it. So if you don't get it at first, if you don't get it right six months from now that's standard. Normally the second record is being mixed in the headphones. You're just listening to it with the queus, but we're going to do it out in the open just to show you what we're doing. So first record playing. You take your second record. My cross player is in the middle so we can hear both right now. Find your first beat. There it is. You've got your first beat. Start counting with it. One, two, three, four. We're going to start over at the beginning of the section. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. You got the speed. We're going to try it at the next change. See if it's the same speed. Not the same speed. We're going to try it again."
