Bro I love your humility in not being a gatekeeper. I still watch your vids even if it’s covering the basic bc there’s always a new gem to pick up. I try to at least get in 2 hours of practice a day big up to Carlo
-
I've DJing for about 1 year now you basically taught me how to DJ thank you DJ Carlo but we need more hip-hop mixes, please....

It’s crazy how many DJ’s really can’t beat match. It used to be the single most important skill as a dj. That’s why so many djs hate sync. It allows betas to look good.

Hey carlo! Just came back from my 1st ever intl show, I first began djing from your tutorial 2 years ago and from there I began producing my own tracks which has landed me so many cool opportunities and kickstarted my music career. Since you're posting your yearly guide again I'd like to thank you for being the catalyst putting me on this path!
-
Thanks again Dj Carlo. Many new Dj’s get frustrated, lose interest and quit because they didn’t get this kinda help to achieve Beat matching. This info is like CPR for DJs. Plz share..
-
After getting beat matching mostly down with the BPM visible and just matching the numbers, I recommend covering the numbers and learning to tell if one song is slower/faster than the other by listening. A lot of club gear isnt all that well looked after and sometimes the readout isn't accurate or the pitch fluctuates, so being able to tell by ear helps a lot.

DJ C, I've been DJing a long time. I started on turntables back in 1987 - started DJing professionally in the early 90's. Beatmatching, comes very natural too me at this point in my DJ career, but I found myself watching this video nonetheless. Just had to tell you that it's a great video and I can see that you're helping so many new DJ's in our industry. Thanks man! This is a fantastic video!
-
The BPM value should be ignored when learning beat matching, it will pay dividends if you ever want to mix vinyl plus some tracks BPM's can fluctuate. The BPM value is used to help select next track within suitable range of the previous or when you want to tempo change your set.
-
i think the last point briefly mentioned is super important! when i tried to teach some people the basics of DJing and beatmatching, they got the technical part right. but for the most part, it was song structure that was the biggest "flaw" You really have to get a feeling for how i.e. dance music works and what sounds "good" or "clustered" it can be one beat too much/less that can throw you out of momentum
-
Thanks to you I have learned a lot before a I got my flx4 !!! Had solid ground of theory and applied this to my mixes… and now I have my first gig coming soon. THANK YOU! ❤
-
Thanks @DJCarlos, your way of teaching is the best I have found😊.
-
As a lifelong, dj, vet, who just got a Pioneer set up, your videos are really valuable. Always keep learning!
-
Chef's kiss on this one!

I used to spend vinyl late 90s early 2000s at raves in the south. I didn't have a beat match button, I didn't even have a beat counter, I had to listen to it and match the beat of every song every record. I thought that's what DJ still did, I need to get back into it. I could be one of the top billed people out there
-
Tip: Turn off master tempo when learning beat matching (vinyl style). When MT is on you may hear artefacts that sound like the beats are not matched (which is why I never use it).
-
oldschool way we used on turn-tables was to use only the pitch control to match the tempo. touching the vinyls would also work, but sometimes you could push the needle to skip and all hell would go lose
-
A way to level up beat matching is to slowly drop or raise the tempo of the playing track to halfway in between bpms (if they’re like <5 bpm different) and then slowly bring it to the new tracks bpm once you start mixing in. Then it REALLY can feel seamless but also the mix breathes more imo

I wish 21years ago I had people like you and your Team. I learned by the hard way without help and with vinyl...but I don't miss the old times. The new equipment opens big gates of creating my own style. Also the cheaper gear is ok and you don't have to buy Pioneer. I prefer NI with Traktor. But that's just my opinion. Had and sold a lot of gear in 21 years 😂 But I stayed beatmatching by ears... it's like riding a bike and makes mixing more attractive, for me😊
