    Im still learning , practicing on my controller (i hide bpm counters). I use waveforms just to set the cue , but occasionally im setting my cue by ear, just to get the idea. I think its usefull to learn to match by ear. Last weekend i went to my local dj store (im taking a course there), first time ive seen cdj’s but i did beatmatch the tracks OK. (not super perfect, but im still learning 😛 ). At the end of the day , the way i see it , it really doesnt matter how you do it , if you get the job done. But as a backup plan it is a good idea to learn to do it manually.

    Good luck man ! And remember that people are not judging you the way you are judging urself, most of the time they are drinking. I am supposed to spin for the first time in a couple of weeks myself 🙂

    Hey !
    Im just learning to beatmatch and i agree that you probably should start from something sort of simple. At first ive tried to match some jungle/dnb tunes and after 10 seconds of hearing them together i decided that it was not a good idea :). Ive started out with some house type stuff , the songs have a long intro and a lot of the times its just the beat and nothing else for a long enough time. Now i have moved on to hiphop records. Its alot going on when you listen at first but with practice your ears will be able to pick apart sounds and focus on the snare/drum. Dont be scared! It comes with practice. And the pitch question was already answered. The hard part for me was to tell which track is faster/slower. Lets think that track A is playing on ur master output and you are trying to beatmatch track B,while listening to it on your headphones. So if you hear that a snare from track B is going off first , you should slow down record B and vice versa. Hope it helps 🙂 Have fun!

    Hmm , well idk , i have some ideas in my head on how things should be , but as i know so little i accept the fact that they can be/are false. Im still reading up on things and trying to learn step by step. I can see why controllers are more convenient and easier in terms of transportation,setup etc., but i still want to at least consider the other option.
