You can also hear your hot cues in your song which are adjustable time markers that the DJ can quickly jump to. Beatmatching and tempo matching often go hand in hand, doing one usually means doing the other. Tempomatching means you are synchronizing the tempos between the two songs.
Beatmatching means you are synchronizing the beats of two songs. You can do this by beatmatching and tempo matching. Headphones Are Necessary to Manually Sync (Beatmatch) the Next SongĪnother important aspect of being a good DJ is to be able to manually synchronize your songs. Performing a live set with another DJ may mean you are not familiar with the latest song he is playing when it is your turn to tune in the next song. This could, for example, happen when you are performing B2B (Back to Back) with another DJ. Headphones also come in handy the other way around which means they are great tools when selecting a new song that you know but mixing it in with the current song which you are not familiar with. Using a headphone as a DJ will make sure you are able to hear all the musical elements in the next song so you can decide in time if you need to pick another song or go with the currently selected song and mix it in. It often happens that you want to spice things up in your mix and you go a bit out of your comfort zone by choosing a different song than preselected before your mix at home. I value this more than beatmatching perfectly or having the most seamless transitions.Ī headphone is necessary to preview the next song especially if you are not that familiar with the song you want to mix already.
In my opinion, the most important thing for a DJ to do when mixing is to choose 2 songs that will go well together in the mix.
