Finding BPM Without Visual

[ill_spector]

just kinda know depending on genre,

other wise prepare beforehand,

use recordbox or traktor of somthing to find bpm

by ear, cue 1st beat, 4-8 bars,

too fast? slow down pitch

too slow? speed up, etc

one of those things you either have or don't have.

but can be learnt....

years of playing instruments/music helps also

yeh thats the way i am doing, cueing then syncing

havent yet learn to sync with the pitch and adjusting the platter to line them up yet....

yeh mainly a rough guide, shit with some songs it will change start at 80BPM then 20 seconds in will change to 128BPM

The bpm counter can sometimes get confused and maps the half-beat. You see it happen alot with DnB and Hiphop.

Using the BPM counters through a CDJ whilst playing DnB is almost impossible!

download some transitions songs man so if u get asked to play a slower song and your up around the 130 and need to go down you use one of these songs then drop the track they wanted after i have heaps of them they work wonders
