[QUOTE="DJRazz, post: 915767, member: 12359"] I learnt to mix with an old turntable that had speed adjust on it and an old hifi system with no speed adjustment !!! Start with an easy tune with a well defined beat that you can tap foot/nod head to..then cue another tune up to the first beat on another well defined beat tune on...listen to the first tune while tapping/nodding then on the first beat of the next bar set the second tune going...it takes practice to hear which way you need to speed/slow down a tune. I use one earphone on my left ear (left handed so might be different for you) and one listening to the track thats playing from speaker. Use your hand to speed up/or slow down the track you are trying to cue and adjust the speed on the slider accordingly. if you cant get it go back to the start of the track and try again....one day it will click...sort of Eureka moment...If you can ignore the bpm counter as you will be better off in the long run...epecially when you start to cueing up with a hihat sound or snare or a part of a bassline ( tunes that you need to set off on a half/quarter beat) Good luck and these lot are a friendly bunch so dont hesitate to ask for help.....always wanted to try serato...quite jealous tbh :) [/QUOTE]
