I heard that certain dj's put all their tunes to the same tempo. How is this done?

Beatmatching ??

Or do you mean pre pitching everything so that on a set you have to do nothing expect hit play at the start of a bar? Because this is cheating and lazy and takes away most of what djing should actually be about.

Learn to beatmatch

Yeah I can beatmatch. I was jus interested in how they do it. I heard that shivers does it, hence why he constantly chops his tunes.

He probably beatmatches them before he chops them.

That's beside the point, I was jus askin if any one knows how to do it. Obviously not. Cheers anyway.

using your pitch control?

i did think of shiverz when i read this thread, my mate mentioned that all he ever did was press play and maybe adjust the jog wheel once or twice a set. maybe he just memorises the exact pitch adjustment needed or just plays 140 stuff, a lot of the simple tear outish tunes are straight 140 and as easy as pressing play to mix on cdjs. we did jokingly theorise that perhaps he pitch stretched each song to 140 before he burnt cds but that would be pretty fucking gay.

Ive always felt lazy when I was mixing dubstep... With dnb, miami, hell gabba and industrial, every genre ive ever picked up to play, has had SERIOUS tempo differences when compared to dubstep...

in dubstep, it seems the most i have to do is pitch the occasional tune down from the 143-145 mark and the odd tune up from 138... boring. if someone could seriously have to standardize dubstep to a tempo when the producers basically do that for you... lamer then lame can be lame.

And anyone trying to pre-pitch dubstep tracks should step up and try to play some drumfunk or some left-feild or another genre with huge tempo differences and largely quantize off...

i have heard of some dnb dj's having their tunes pressed at the same bpm. as in getting them re-pressed if they arent their own tunes.

pull a mistabishi

Wouldnt you need a lossless format to do that?

i didnt think you could press an mp3, which if they arent originals, isnt that what you'd have?

was a shameful display

that pic of him using a CDJ that wasnt even turned on was golden

have we come so far away from being djs that we can't even be asked to use pitch control? how bland to have a set of the same tempo the whole time.... what is the dj even doing other than cuing up the next song? how lazy,,,

what happened to creativity? to pushing yourself and your art?

also to the OP if you want answers, try the production/technical forum and don't get all snotty when you don't post in the right place
