Understanding Beatmatching

Beatmatching is the foundation of DJing. It involves adjusting the tempo of an incoming track to match the currently playing track's BPM. This creates a smooth transition where both tracks play in sync. Start by identifying the beats in both tracks, then use your pitch fader to speed up or slow down the incoming track until the beats align perfectly.
