Changing the BPM of a song
I have some great song that have bpm like 127.58, 126.77 and so. Since I don’t have much of exp in beatmatching, I find it quite annoying mixing those on cdj’s.
Is there a way to stretch the song or something like that to get rounded numbers bpm? like changing 127.58 to 128?
Use your ear and when it’s beatmatched it’s beatmatched. Who gives a shit about the exact BPM of a song. ‘Those CDJ’s’ are actually really simple to use. Search the forums and it will give you answers.
I know how to beatmach, but it takes me a bit more time to beatmatch those songs, just thought that I can make it easier a bit.
The BPM of any track in particular is irrelevant when you consider that you’ve got to match the BPM of the previous track. So unless you warp all of your songs to the same BPM, forget about it.
That doesn’t really make sense mate. If you know how to beat match, the exact BPM doesn’t make a difference as long as it’s comparable to that of the other song. Even if the BPM display on the CDJ is correct and you use that, it’ll still display 128 everywhere from 127.5 up to 128.5.
You could warp your tracks in ableton to 128 but I cannot see a single reason why you would want to.
I was a bit snappy on that last post but in more seriousness i agree with what FEP has to say (quoted below). 
If you really want to do it (again can’t really see why as your just making more work for your self), you could load the tracks into ableton or some other daw and stretch the audio to the desired tempo.
But to be honest if you had those two tracks playing with the tempo faders both set to zero, there still going to stay relatively in phase with each other for a couple of bars, for longer transitions you’d be needing to nudge the jogs and sort out the faders but its no big deal.
ya coz its not like the 0.7% = exactly 1 bpm anyway, its always gonna be up to ur ears. Unless ur whole set is 128 haha
That not that hard to do with a good long set of certain House tracks. 
Sure - adjust the pitch fader of the CDJ while the song is playing until you get to the rounded number. Obviously you’ll have to train your ears to recognize whole number BPMs by sound first…
If a BPM’s value is making it easier or harder for you to beatmatch, you don’t know how to beatmatch.
oh wow. have new dj’s actually gotten this bad. Ummmm spin one track, listen to the next track in headphones. Pitch the song up or down till they are beat matched. Boom Boom Boom Boom. Yep beat matched. That slider thingy on most turntables and cdjs is the pitch slider. Use it. The record plater or jog wheel is how you fine tune it. Use it. slide it foward to speed the track up apply pressure to the platter to slow it down or slightly spin it backwards if its a cdj. If all else fails practice… practice… practice… when your done practicing… practice some moar. :eek:
you can use ableton to warp the tracks to a whole number. i’ve heard of some djs warping an entire set to 130. it’s definitely one less thing to worry about.
128.28
this bpm contains 5 digits.
1 in the hundreds place, 1 in the tens place, 1 in the ones place, 1 in the 1/10 place and 1 in the 1/100 place.
these numbers explain how many beats there are in 60 seconds. so its 128.28/60
Im sure your all god among men but, this is a difficult concept for beginners, so please dont give people an attitude
There is no attitude. Either make both the BPM’s the same (which is a bit cheesey IMO), or forget the numbers, as they don’t have anything to do with adjusting one song to match the audio of another song. Use your ears… not math.
yeah, all the songs I play are in between 125 to 134 most of the time, you can pretty much mix all at 128 or 130. It is even easier with a controller hehe.
Re-record the track using traktor at the bpm you want to use. I’ve done this a few times for my brother but as has been mentioned above those bpm diferences shouldn’t be a worry for manual beatmatching anyway.
