Two new all vinyl mixes in my sig 

You are talking wasting time getting the mix right, and still mark up all your records and looking up tables and such?Mr_Frost wrote:kixo wrote:
for keeping the beat matched, i find it particularly hard when you're in a middle of a mix and when the tracks are at the same levels each, (especially when the tracks are similar)
fot the BPM i think i'll do the same as you (marking the vinyls), it's maybe a bit a "mathematic" way to mix (with the spreadsheet and all) but it sure can help you setting the pitch even before listening to the track in the headphones.
i hear you there. i hate that feeling when you can hear the beat slipping and your mind doesn't know which it is. that's why i was saying earlier i don't mind if one record is playing just a tiny bit fast(i prefer/am more accurate slowing records then nudging them faster). that way as soon as i detect the beat starting to slip, give the spindle a little pinch and slow it down. you can here me do it on the first few minutes of the mix i made. you can here glut getting ahead of woo in a few places and then it slips back in time i probably had it a little two fast because i was pinching the spindle a littl more than i like. it's not really noticeable to an untrained ear and in a live setting would be hard to catch, but with repeated listens it would eventually stand out. the other thing to do is just have one channel playing on the cue of your headphones and one ear listening to the mix. that should make it easier to figure out which beat needs adjusting.
