Beatmatching: Mixing for Beginners
Location:
Beatmatching is the skill of listening to two records, being able to identify which one is playing faster or slower and then changing the speed accordingly so the two records are playing at the same speed. It is the fundamental skill to DJ mixing.
Every aspect of DJing requires practice but learning to beatmatch is different in the sense that once you’ve got it you’ve got it…something just clicks.
