    Hey,

    So ye.. as the title says, I actually didn't want to go around and ask, but ok:

    I got the BCD3000 now for ~2months. And ye, I'm able to go from song to song
    using the mix-technique (if you can call it a technique) with the EQ's.
    I watched videos of people using the BCD3000, and somehow everything
    sounds so much smoother when theyre mixing songs. However, I can't
    really see what they're doing different. I googled, I looked u for #IRC channels,
    but nothing that I could really found about mixing with the BCD3000.

    So ye.. now I'm getting to the point I just gonna ask you guys;
    Is there a community all about BCD3000 and/or tutorials? :eek:

    I really hate it to go around and ask this, because normally I would figure
    things out myself.

    And ye, practice makes perfect, so in the meantime of course I continue
    as much as I can.
    But thanks anyway guys.

    The BCD3000 is no different to any other controller with Traktor - it won't make you into a DJ overnight! A great mix doesn't just come down to beatmatching and EQs - a lot comes down to picking tracks that work well together in the first place. Some of the best DJs I know pick their tunes so well that once they're beatmatched and in the mix, they barely have to touch the mixer at all and they will blend perfectly from start to finish. Knowing your controller will only get you halfway there - practice and experience is the only way you'll learn the rest!

    Something else that might be throwing your mixes off if you're only just beginning is phrase matching. Your beats might be perfectly in time, but if your phrases are off the mix will still sound ropy. Make sure you start the track you're bringing in on the first beat of a phrase of the track you're coming out of and it will make a big difference too!

    Ye, youre 100% right. However, your post did gave me that
    small feedback to keep continueing and will do more research
    at finding the good beats that match and when to drop in
    an other song.
