DJing with sync, mixing in/handover

If anyone is impressed it's me

It doesn't seem like a debate to me. Just people saying what they think about beatmatching.

It's not a debate about syncing so much as it is covering all your angles so you're a DJ and not just a guy who mixes songs. These are two very different things. Similar too, I play drums but I'm not a drummer.

Yeah this thread was never meant to be a debate about sync unfortunately it went into the whole sync debate.

Which is a pointless one, it will be used, and I have no issue with it.

It started as the OP asking about how to mix into the last DJ if you can only use sync or something like that.

To which the best answer is learn to beatmatch manually.

I played out about 6 months ago. Buddy convinced me to play as it was a team DJ's thing. I had minimal time to practice on his CDJ's. Had only ever really played on Traktor with a controller, and sync, obviously.

Train wrecked a ton.

But it drove me to put a lot more effort into practicing.

If you start with sync, and don't have to work at it, you think your shit sounds good when it doesn't.

Learn the craft.
