To sync or not to sync

[SolDios]

Hey guys ive been thinking, should I just turn on sync for the moment, and get a mix out there?

That way I can at least have something for people to listen to, and could posibly score me a few more house partys.

So what do you think

(Of course I will still learn to beat match)

If its for house parties and other mobile gigs then by all means.

Exactly what I though, I wouldn't ever send it to a club, I mean, what if they wanted to hire me for a night and I still couldn't beat match, that would be horrifying.

I do not want to hear a mix that had auto sync sol

This Is how u improve. Look at my mix I just uploaded...there is a few rough transitions but now I can look back and listen to them and see what I was doing wrong

The main problem with using sync now is that even though you said you'll still learn properly, you probably won't bother to learn it properly once you start using it.

Keep practicing brother

Don't use sync. I agree with what the others say. I reckon the best way to learn is from mistakes. Record a mix, listen back and be critical when listening. Look at the transitions you could of done better etc. Go back, try again. Better to learn the tough way now, rather then later when you have big gigs. My 2 cents anyway

just get songs with super long intros and outros, all with the same bpm, and do simple intro/outro mixing.

im with the others

once u start using sync itll be too easy to bother with beatmatching and ull enjoy the feeling of mixing beatmatched tracks too much to then go backwards and learn how to beatmatch

stick at the beatmatching sol.. itll be worth it when u get there

keep in mind ur still young, theres no need to rush it

do it the right way, even if it means itll take a little bit longer... in the long run you'll be much better off

SMILEY FACE!

I used sync when I first started using virtual dj so I could get my head around the basics. Your way beyond that man

[Jaz]

Yeh I did the same melody when I had a controller and VDJ and it was horrible. Wasn't DJing at all

To be honest sol if u recorded a mix and addmited using sync I wouldn't listen, if u recorded a real mix I would Gladly listen

[SolDios]

It's settled then, thanks guys, no sync for me C:

[wazza]

I uses sync all the time but I do a lot harder things than just mixing 2 tracks together ...

Sync don't work right when using time code vinyl/c.d.....so I say stay away from sync for now sol

I made a post on this topic ages ago on my blog:

Please remember my blog is used a resource for kids I work with so my aim is to give the most all round background to a topic. It doesnt mean it's up to date tho.

Dont sync the satisfaction when you pump out a manually beatchmatched and mixed set it is more than worth the wait
