    Even though I started DJing by using the sync, there is no reason why you shouldn’t learn how to beatmatch. My first gig I had to mix out of somebody’s else’s set. I’d never done it before, and there was no way I was gonna ask a big name dj to do it for me.

    Do you REALLY wanna have to ask people to do it? Or you can just learn and do it yourself. Seriously, beatmatching these days is easy. The BPM is displayed for you on almost every DJ piece of hardware. After manually beatmatching for a few weeks, it felt like second nature to me. It’s not hard, learn it and you’ll be all the better. More importantly, CONFIDENCE. Don’t you wanna feel like you can do it all?

    I agree it’s important, but there’s nothing wrong with using waveforms as well as your ears. Indeed, to not do so when they’re right there in front of you seems kind of crazy to me.
