Calling all DJs! Although beatmatching by ear is a fundamental skill we teach here at pointblank Music School, this tutorial will teach you a hack to get your tracks in sync using the CDJ bpm counters without them drifting at all.
This technique is ideal for when you’ve only got a limited time to blend your tracks or the bpm of your two tracks differ by a few decimal values. During the video, our Content Development Manager Ben Bristow shows you how you can perfectly mix two beats which may have slightly different speeds, even if the display tells you they’re in time.
