ok i live in a apartment building, made out of wood. so i cannot use my computer speakers after 6pm because there is a lot of families here and yeah.
so my second best option to practice how to beatmatch is using my monitoring headphones that i love because they sound like im inside the club
i have found two interesting ways of using my headphones to practice how to beatmatch: [and would like your opinion on which way is better / or worked better for you]
FIRSTLY, playing one track on left cup and playing the second track on the right cup. full hi,mid,lows! (i came to conclusion that this takes time to get used to and seems to be a bit more work in terms of concentration than the second method -see next option)
SECONDLY, i just played both tracks both together, but i would turn off the lows on one. but i found this a bit easier to practice on but what i did not like was how i couldn't hear both the entire track of just one track, which is one thing i liked about the first method where i could listen to the entire track since i was playing one track per headphone cup, but i believe this second method would be more accurate? (i havent tried having both the lows turned at a lower setting at the sametime -maybe something to try?]
using the first method, i think(not sure) could be a bit tricky?
note to you : i collected 6 records total so far [just started], so it seems like i will need a much larger collection of 15-30 record before i can find two tracks that will blend in together. i believe finding two tracks that blend in together will be much more easier to practice how to beatmatch with, correct? i find 1 house track and 1 techno track, just seems really off in terms of "vibe" jumping 1 vibe to another [very blatant] and i found harder for me to beatmatch them together.
