As the name implies, it is the total number of beats of a song in one minute. Because the turntable and the adjustable CD player have certain restrictions, and the sound of songs will become very cartoon and funny if the speed is adjusted too much, the speed of the two songs to be picked up should be similar, preferably between 5~ 10 beats.
In addition, the rhythm and speed of each type of dance music are similar, which is more related to the same type of music, otherwise it will be very strange, for example, Trip-Hop and Raggae are about 80~90 beats, House is about 120~ 130 beats, and Techno is about 120~ 150 beats.
2. Tips
The starting point of a song is usually the first beat of a bar, but some people think that the second beat is more accurate. The purpose of grasping the cue point is to make the two songs have the same speed. The normal way of dance music is 4/4 beats (that is, 4 beats per bar, quarter note 1 beat). When a song comes out of another bar at the end of the fourth beat, the cue point in your hand will be played at the same time.
3. Scratch (scratch record)
The technique of using record anti-sound is usually used in Rap and Hip-Hop, and other music styles will be used according to the situation, but scratch will hurt your beloved records and needles, so don't abuse it even if it is dazzling; In addition, scraping is usually carried out together with cross gradient. For example, crssfader plays a record and comes out, and crossfader pulls it back and goes back to another track.
4. Overlapping songs
One of the most basic ways to collect songs, the so-called overlapping songs is to use special turntables and CDs? The player can adjust the speed (pitch) to the same speed for the two songs to be connected (there are acceleration and deceleration devices on the turntable and CD player).
Then, play two songs at the same time by capturing the cue points. After about 2-4 bars, the two songs fade in/out. For example, the underworld's "Born Slippery" BPM is about 139, and the PF project's "Choose Life" is about 136. If you want to connect the former with the latter, you have to adjust it three times faster.
5. The Lost Song (Flying Song)
The lost song is thrown at the end of the previous song or at some point after the cue point is captured. Usually, alternative rock doesn't answer, and two songs are lost because the speed difference is too much but the types don't match. For example, fat Silm's new song "The Rockatelle Skank" is awkward 152 beat, pick up the Big Beat and play the drums & too fast; Apos, N & ampApos and Bass are too slow to be lost.
Step 6 fine-tune
Just because the beat of two songs is right does not mean that the beat will always be accurate when they overlap. Occasionally, you should nudge the record with your left hand (speed up) or rub the turntable (speed down), and nudge or pull the pitch with your right hand to correct it.
7. Monitor
The volume of headphones should not be too loud. You should be able to hear the music playing on the loudspeaker outside. Sometimes you have to switch between listening to the song to be played and the music being played, and turn the volume closer to eq to avoid being too abrupt.
