I have been djing for about a couple of weeks now with a mixtrack pro and traktor le and am slowly getting to grips with things. So far i can beatmatch quite well when i first use the BPM counters to make sure the BPMs of the tracks are as matched as possible (i have been practising not using BPM counters every now and then but not very successfully), from then I beat match by ear and never use the sync button, however i still feel i am 'cheating'. Obviously i want to eventually mix in clubs or bars where i understand CDJs are the norm, my questions are do all cdjs have a bpm counter on them? And do you recommend putting the effort in to learning to beatmatch properly now or to just get better at other techniques first and worry about that later?
Any opinions welcome, Thanks in advance.
