How do I transition from a Higher BPM (140) -to- a much slower BPM (88)
Yes I am a beginner and have been using the sync button, so wondering how I can make such a drastic BPM transition from one track to another without it sounding super sped up/slowed down but at the same time not so sloppy without using sync? Im not to sure how example radio DJ’s do this in they’re mixes and make it sound so smooth?
1)Make a transition where at least either the incoming or outgoing track has no beats/drums.
2)Echo freeze effect
3)Cutting
4)Backspin
1 being the smoothest decreasing in smoothness with 4 being the least smooth.
Airhorns and gunshots.
Ok thanx ill give it a try! I always wondered why the local mixing DJ would backspin to transition.
*Airhorns & gunshots lol
I lol’d
you can slow down the 88 bpm to 70 bpm (Which is half of 140) and you can beatmatch manually
i do this all the time 
That would be the four most common methods. If nothing else will work you can also have a gap between the songs, and say something on the mic…if you are into that kind of thing. 
Agreed, I do this super-cheesy thing at college parties where I bring it all the way down to “I Love College” where everyone is singing…then let it go to the end, get on the mic, and drop “Shots” to hype the party right back up.
I think I might of deleted my Echo effect when I was adding over the new effects? Is there anyway I could get it back if I did..
It’s 2013 bro, it’ all about “RUN THA TRAP!!!” & “DAYUM SUN, WHERE 'D YA FIND DIS?”
^I traktor it’s called delay, there should be a button somewhere that says freeze and press that. Also don’t forget to play with the paramaters and see what works.
echo = delay
if you’re referring to dubstep or trap as 140, and Drum n Bass as “much slower” at 88… The solution is that you should stop DJing forever.
I know this is actually a speed up in BPM but I think its a cool technique that i like to use sometimes
This has to sound terrible, dropping it down 18 beats.
in traktor in the Grid menu you can use the /2 setting to half your bpm and mix that way. play around with it i’ve seen other dj’s that use sync do that to help with matching beats.
if its instrumental its actually not that bad with no keylock (depending on the song of course)
with keylock on the quality is REALLY degraded but… its a workaround, like a transitional method, after this particular song you just drop things on the closer bpm and hope everyone was too drunk to notice the loss in quality during that ONE song
Soft Mix or the famous Echo Freeze 
This x1000, every time, every situation.
Oh yeah and a WESTWOOOOOOOOOD name drop.
Theoretically, if you’re quick on the “play” button on Deck B, you could keep Sync on, ramp down the tempo on Deck A slowly, kinda like a brake effect, and drop the new track in at the start of the next phrase. It’s all in the timing tbh.
