Sync helps and not always works so you have to know how to beat match some what!!! To me sync helps me get close to where I need the pitch range and I go form there. JMO??

I always try and beatmatch manually, but if you are into doing it manually be warned VDJ can frequently calculate the BPM wrong, even if it's only by a fraction of a percent!
So just because the left deck and the right deck both say 140, and the beats are align on the CBG doesn't always mean they will stay like that. I've often found that when you use the sync feature they will occasionally report different BPMs (although this will only normally be 0.1% off, ie 140.0 and 139.9)
If you are going to do it manually you'll need to also need to adopt more traditional methods like listening to the tracks in your headphones for a minute or so!
Good Luck, and I hope that made sense =Þ

So...
almost always the bpm are correct BUT often the wave feature in the programm is big s*h*i*
That is what i noticed by using sync....

I'm thinking of making a beat mixing tutorial. Beat Mixing is a science. Once the fundamentals are learned, beat mixing will become very easy to do. Everyone should be able to beat mix by ear. Your ears will never let you down. You can’t learn to beat mix by ear while looking at a video. You must train your ears and hands to sync the beats. However, VDJ does make beat mixing easier.

I agree double O, for all those new djs using VDJ, the only way to really learn how to beat match with VDJ is to close your eyes and listen.

beat matching is math
if you have a song that is 80 bpm and you dont have another song that is 80 mutiply it by 2= 160 now you may have to tweek it a lil bit.
if u have a song that is 160 and dont have another 160 song you go use 80 remember you may have to tweek it a lil bit.
this is what i have been told and it works for me>
good luck

I am a "new" very jung dj and I often close the laptop and just beatmach, I become faster and faster...
But I think a lot of jung dj's do not understand why to work for something what the softwear can do for you.
A dj who can't beatmach normal vinyls/cd's isn't a dj for me! And I wish this dj's a crashed laptop, and a club owner who want's them to mix with normal Cd's/Vinyl's, haha!
It's somebody who clicks on a button. a baby is also able to do this.

Here’s an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zC5W5vfW2o
As you can see, it is difficult to learn how to beat mix by ear after watching a video.

Its not just SYNCing your music. Some wierd tempos still don't match well even WITH SYNC enabled. You still have to have _some_ skill to beatmatch :)

I "sync" to get close, but ALWAYS finish the match by ear. To me the sync function is more of a timesaver than a crutch - no dig against anyone here, k? ;)
