• Introduction (04:26) - In this video, DJ Shortee introduces the course in which she teaches manual adjustments, tuning your ears, beatmatching, and beginner mixing techniques using CDJs and a DJ mixer. She explains what beatmatching actually is and why it's important for DJs to learn to beatmatch manually. She also compares manual beatmatching versus relying on the automatic "Sync" features available in most DJ software, and lists the benefits of each.

• Manual Speed-Up Method (04:24) - DJ Shortee shows you how to manually manipulate the jog wheels on the CDJs in order to temporarily speed up the tempo of your songs. She explains why manual adjustments are crucial to the manual beatmatching process and then demonstrates the manual speed-up method using both visual and audible techniques. She teaches you how to perform this technique using only your ears so you can train your ears to hear the adjustments.

She teaches you how to perform this technique using only your ears so you can train your ears to hear the adjustments.

She explains why you should adjust only one song at a time and what sounds to listen for while you are beatmatching in order to tune your ears. She shows how to determine if a song is playing faster or slower using just your ears. As a bonus, she uses the Serato DJ software as a visual reference so that you can also see the audio tracks moving faster and slower side by side.

Pawax “Shaolin” (Arkade Records)—128 bpm

• Longer EQ Mix (08:20) - DJ Shortee shows you how to perform a more elaborate EQ mix by mixing each of the three frequencies separately in order to create a longer EQ mix together with the volume faders. As a bonus, she also explains how the continuous manual adjustments can be used when you are beatmatching live music with a beat played by a live drummer in real time, rather than beatmatching songs that are quantized during production.
