Hey guys
Im a Huge Trance Music fan and im very new to the mixing songs business but after I heard of Virtual DJ I have learned a lot in a very small timespan. Its a great software you have developed.
Anyway, Ive started to get songs to match incredibly good imo but I still got some questions on my mind.
1. When changing BPM to match another song, should I change it back after the first song have faded out? or should the BPM level be the same during a whole session? If I should raise the tempo, when is the best place in a song to do it unoticed?
2. Also, matching the right beat seems pretty easy in VDJ since of the 4 bar feature at the top of the screen. When Live djing I assume there is no feature like this so how do u know if your song is at the exact beat as the other song?

Hey Asott,
1. In general you sort of stay on the same BMP while the beat is flowing. You can use drops or long vocal parts to raise or lower the tempo somewhat. In generally doing it right before a re-entering of the beat will give a good effect. Another, more daring effect would be to use an echo effect to fully mute the track (just the echo), up the speed, and punch it right back in on the first beat of the new bar.
2. You can hear it. Most tracks will be made up of patterns of 4 bars, so 16 beats (blame the old trackers and sequencers for that). You can recognize the start of a bar by the accent on the first beat, any person with a musical ear can do this. You can recognize the start of a pattern by the intro's, breaks and drops. Listen well and thou shall hear.
