Life, as well as technology, fickle thing:
So what exactly makes the process complicated? In principle, nothing special ... but the process itself. When did you first get up to a turntable, in a head rush of thought, like: "Yes, I schA them mixed and everything will be cool" - but just a couple of hours you have to outright rage look at "these foolish vinyl, ready to yell:" [ censorship], but reduces as you [censored]! ". Most likely, first you'll have something like this: put one plate, and while it is unwound, becoming the second. And while you're trying to fit a speed under the other, you notice that one of the tracks has already ended. And this miracle is repeated over and over again, over and over again .. And infuriates, enrages you. Why am I writing this? Besides that, if you're ready now so torturing yourself, you're already halfway to the ability to reduce! To so-and created our "virtual school DJs" to describe the remaining half-way, and a little push you forward in its passage.
So, where do you start? To begin with theory. So, what is the bit (beat = hit)? Bit - these are the same drum boom-boom-boom "that you are, I believe, is not one hundred times heard in my life. On the other hand, the composition is not necessarily present a drum. Then the bit is given, for example, plates ("oz-oz-ounce) or something else. For the study suggest that taking a plate with a well distinguishable drum beat, though, because the composition of this type are most typical. Some budding DJs ask the question: "What do I do if some time when you play the track can not hear the drum?" Does this mean that at present in the composition is no bit? " The answer is simple: of course, it does not. Understand the word "bit" as a "rhythm". When you hear a song and you pull, for example, tapping foot, nodding or shaking of any other body part with a certain frequency, then you feel the rhythm That he makes you do these movements!
Bit find what and what they eat, understood. Now the next thing to remember: In some formulations it is very difficult to find this thing a miracle - a bit. But if you still find it, and suddenly it disappears (for example, sounded Instrumental), you must in no case was found not to lose. That is, consider the imaginary "beats" in mind. By the way, if you do not know the writing speed is measured in "BPM" (bi-pee-em - "beats per minute" or "beats per minute). Sometimes the value of "bpm" printed on the cover plate, but do not worry if it does not prove - this amount can be roughly calculated. It would be ideal even find and record the speed of all the plates from which you decide to start learning!
