1, counting beats: this is the simplest and most basic. It's best to learn 4 beats and 8 beats at first. Choose an electronic dance music record that is neither too difficult nor too complicated, put it on one of the two record players, and then play it silently with the beat of 1234.
2. Find the hint: monitor headphones will be used at this time. When wearing headphones, you can only wear one ear, and the other ear is responsible for monitoring the currently playing audio track; So at present, the two ears are listening to completely different songs, then find the cue point, press the start button of the record player to start rotating, put the stylus on the record and start looking for the first drum. Look for the next one in turn.
3. Push-pull racket: After catching the cue point, push and pull the cue point of another record player so that the drums on both sides can overlap.
4. Pitch adjustment: Count the loops in your mind and always pay attention to the loops of the record player 1. The first beat of each cycle is the only opportunity to push out the first beat of cue, and gently apply a transverse component to the edge of the turntable of the record player with your finger to slow down the rotation speed of the record player. Change the speed of the record player with one finger and adjust the pitch with the other hand according to the speed.
5. Adjust the pitch of a song coherently: Sometimes, if you just listen to one or two loops after a good shot, you will ignore it, and it is easy to cause some slight beats over time. At this time, you need to listen to the mixer and listen to several cycles until you are sure that it is correct.
6. Cut-in/cut-out: First cut the cross fader to the left, that is, the speaker can play dance music, and the fader at this time is useless, so that the fader of the audio track appearing in the monitor headphones can be adjusted to the ideal volume in advance, and the sound of the speaker disappears completely when it reaches the far right. At this point, the fade-in and fade-out actions are completed at the same time.
7. Turn down the bass and treble of the speaker: First of all, the * * * vibration caused by the overlapping drums on both sides makes the mixing abrupt, so it is necessary to adjust the bass of the audio track appearing in monitor headphones when it fades out.
