To be honest I've had these for a while and didn't even know how the bpm lock worked till now! Lol id rather just do it by ear.

In Rekordbox and compatible players and controllers, this feature is expanded and you can have both sync and lock. This lets you dial in the BPM on the new deck, set it as master, turn BPM lock on the old deck, and transition to a new tempo without losing beatmatch. It might lock in with the quantized grid, but it's always better to keep an eye - after all, no software analyzes all kick drums perfectly.
@metalsinani I learned DJing in 2009/10 but still haven't managed to actually perform at an event. DJing shouldn't just be about mixing though. It should be about the crowd and the atmosphere you create for them. I'd like to DJ several genres, something I apply to producing also. As for some names, I've heard that The Timewriter and Terry Lee Brown Junior (both Deep/Tech House DJs) use Traktor. Even so, I've seen some videos of them performing live and They do string great sets together.
Hey dude I learnt on vinyl and can spin 3 mk2s but you have to consider the practicalities/viability man. Plus the thing of auto matching does allow you to do more. I feel you all the way though man. I have been on a quite emotional journey when it comes to my transition from vinyl to digital #nohomo
When I'm playing a song, I notice that the BPM counter always seems to be changing. Is it supposed to do this unless I put BPM Lock on? For example, it'll say 139.8 one second and then 140.1 another. This is the only real thing I'm having trouble with at the moment. It's quite frustrating and is making beat-matching impossible for me since it keeps moving out of time. Please help!
remember the BPM can change when to spin the jogwheel.. depends whether you spin it forward(BPM will rise a bit) or backwards(BPM will lower a bit) but also you must use your pitch fader well and get the right BPM . if you cant like you said that it changes, then listen to your tracks as you mix , one will be faster and other slower so on that case try to spin forward or backward the one that you fading out
@@djlesbee he just didnt knew that he has to play track for some time for player to recognize its true bpm and it varies untill player reaches out for bpm, then u simply cue back and mix it like normal, i have cdj 350's still and im using them its same on mine, unless you analyize tracks in rekordbox pre-loading into your players... and yeah it is frustrating if you dont analyize in rekodbox and u quickly want to take other track and u r short on time , having correct bpm show on player would be much of help, i myself i cant match 2 tracks in 15-20 sec without knowing right bpm
@metalsinani Some professional DJs use software which mixes for them so I guess they can concentrate more on how long each transition should be and maybe put more effects into it. I'm not trying to become a master mixer, I just wanna play stuff people haven't heard before. And with all the Deadmau5-style House and Dubstep getting overplayed, I consider song selection more important. Though I try to variate mixing techniques, beat-matching itself can annoy me.
@AnyDayKnow I understand, but hey some of us consider kids having the internet for homework cheating too but we just have to accept technology will make everything easier as we progress. Whether that dilutes skills is another debate but it just seems the way of the world hey.
Beat matching should always be difficult, it separates the good djs from the bad ones on clubs.. beatmatching is also the most focused and the most basic and important fundamental which makes djing so unique. The ones that hobby mixes is the bpm lock genius. For exmple at home parties

Ohhh how badly this aged...making a basic skill difficult for the sake of bragging rights, eh?
Bcz when u increase or decrease BPM from original song's BPM, it doesnt change it for the exact BPM as showed on CDJ. 1 BPM is something like 0.80 ( My friend who used those told me ). I cant wait to buy those CDJs. Got bored of easy mixing on controller where BPM is always exact :D
I wonder if there are someone else with the same issue like mine.. when I’m set the bpm luck and I mix the speed are not the same between the two decks even so the bpms are luck on the same speed .. any ideas?????
xD hahaha... if you use cds or usb.. load all music in recordbox.. recordbox analyse the bpm of each track.. and now make playlists for cds or usb on your pc or laptop.. so then you will never have that problem!!!
i'm not saying people shouldn't be able to beatmatch but it's not the most important thing, the most important thing is entertaining a crowd if you're the best beatmatcher in town but you play rubbish music nobody will like the way you dj ;)

Yoooo thanks dude.. I've just acquired a set of djm 350s n 350 mixer.. been out the game 20 years and only used vinyl 😊 here I gooooo!
be sure to update your mixer to the latest firmware to add "short delay" and "noise" effects. also atenuate filter.
@@AlejandroShredderDJ oh wow, how do you update the firmware?
Fantastic! Saves me from having to read the manual x.x

You ask me this is cheating, but hey im a vinyl DJ.
Useful❤
I remember back in the days , when I learned to beat match, no Beat counter, no wheel, no auto sync, no beat lock .
That time we only used our skills.

@luoseno It's alright now. I figured it out shortly after the video author replied.

Iceferno Having dame issues. I play by ear but it keeps changing bpm. Drives me mad

Iceferno Remixes you cant mix
Of course , you can use this one without mixer as a cd player
Thanks that helped me out
@IceyOnly yeah your not alone use recordbox and put all your beats on there and it will analyse the bpm and every thing for you
DOES THAT MEAN YOUR BPM WILL BE THE SAME?
Just interested in knowing if the Pioneer model CDJ-850 has this BPM lock ?
Thanks.
Please, how to fix machanical timeout in cdj 900 nexus, help me out to fix thi issue. Thanks in advance.
thank you so much

Can you TAP the bpm ?
automatically mix for song end for music....
Bpm lock= the end of dj art
Don't worry, it's not working properly. U still need to match beat by your ears.
I learnt on vinyl but people gotta move forward. I've been where a lot of people are now though so I fully understand. Nostalgia is a killa
So what you're saying is that beat-matching is the only artistic point of DJing... yea.... no
It will bpm lock if i change a song;;
When i use bpm lock it never stays at the right bpm, any idea what the problem is??

@bif0978 Okey doke. Thanks for the tip :)
i have two questions , do you know the music name ?
and witch mixer do you use ?

I’m 8 years late on this reply but hay ho , The track playing on the CDJ 350 on the left is what the fu*k by funkagenda and fatboy slim 👍

I wonder if there are someone else with the same issue like mine.. when I’m set the bpm luck and I mix the speed are not the same between the two decks even so the bpms are luck on the same speed .. any ideas?????
can i use only CDJ without any mixer?
no
maybe with pc
Yes you can. It is essential a customised cd player.
xD hahaha...
if you use cds or usb.. load all music in recordbox.. recordbox analyse the bpm of each track.. and now make playlists for cds or usb on your pc or laptop.. so then you will never have that problem!!!
So it's important to use rekordbox for tracklist?
