Step 1: Count the beats.
At the beginning of duet practice, take an electronic dance music record that is not too difficult or too paradoxical as the first track and put it on one of the two record players, assuming that the one on the left is good. After putting it away, press the Lu Cong _ START key to start the phonograph, and carefully put the stylus on the record. When playing, count the periods of the left channel in your mind: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ~ 22345678 ~ 32345678 ~ 42345678 ...12345678 ..." Then continue riding.
Remember: if you can't hear this cycle, you can't be a DJ. Memorizing 1234 while listening to music can train the recognition of cycles. After all, every DJ walks so slowly.
Step 2: Choose a song.
Next, we will do the second one. Choose a dance music record whose BPM is not more than 8% different from the first one within the control range of Pitch, but actually it is better to play it with 4BPM. There are also two kinds of music that can't be too different. It's best to choose the same music. For example, Techno connects Techno, and you want to connect Breakbeat with Techno unless you are completely proficient.
Step 3: Find the cue point.
Now monitor headphones will come in handy. 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, both ears hear completely different tones. As for wearing the left ear or the right ear, it depends on your preference. The next step is to grasp the hint point.
For convenience, the track currently played by the sound system is called CH 1 (assuming that the phonograph is on the left), and the track appearing in monitor headphones is called CH2 (assuming that the phonograph is on the right). First, switch the monitor cue on the mixer to CH2, which means that the music in the earphone is the song selected in the second step.
Press the start button of the record player to start rotating, and carefully put the stylus on the record. Listen with headphones at this time. If there is a drum sound as soon as the stylus touches the record, it is necessary to lift the stylus and reposition it outside the contact point of the previous stylus, that is, to find the first drum sound at the beginning of a song, and find the prompt point according to this principle (there are also DJ grabbing the fourth beat or the third beat; If I were you, I would take the second beat, because if I am not familiar with the dance music being played, waiting for the dance music to be taken out, it will be difficult to catch the first beat as long as I miss the mixing point.
Usually, in most cases, House's music has drums at the beginning. In this case, the cue point is the point at the beginning of the music. Other electronic dance music with strong musicality may be preceded by an empty melody, and it is difficult to find the cue point. One of the characteristics of records is that some tracks with drums are sparse, and some tracks with empty beats are dense. If you master this feature, it is easy to find the first drum.
Once you find the prompt, don't let it run away. At this point, put your hand on CH2' s record player and push and pull the record back and forth, so that the first drum beat appears repeatedly. After catching the cue point, it is best to push and pull the cue point of CH2 with the beat of CH 1, so that the drums on both sides can overlap (when pushing the record, the drums are normal; When playing a record, the drums are just the opposite.
Step 4: Adjust the pitch.
Memorize the cycle of CH 1 At this point, the cue point of CH2 is pushed back and forth with the beat of CH 1. Pay attention to the cycle of CH 1 at any time. The first beat of each cycle is the only chance to deduce the first beat of CH2. In other words, if you miss the first beat of this cycle, you have to wait for the first beat of the next cycle. If the cue points of CH 1 and CH2 appear at the same time, the beat difference between the two songs will be obvious, so it is time to adjust the pitch.
First of all, we should judge whether the speed of CH2 is faster or slower than CH 1, which depends on the accumulation of experience. If CH2 is slow, push the record on the record by hand; If it is faster, 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.
