7) SETTING THE PITCH

It’s the DJ’s job to provide the audience with music to dance to, which means:

- Selecting music tracks well-suited to the audience,

- Maintaining a dancing rhythm with a good ambiance, and avoiding anything which

might interrupt the rhythm, such as gaps in the music or noticeable changes in BPM,

- Making transitions between songs easy for dancers. You should always try to

synchronize the next track with the track currently playing, if possible: this

synchronization is called beat-matching.

Beat-matching consists of adjusting the playback speed of music track B until the moment the

beats (often marked by drums or bass) of this track B play at the same rhythm as the beats of

track A, to maintain the same beat during 3 steps:

- When playing track A,

- Then, when mixing track B together with track A, with the same rhythm,

- When you stop playback of track A and keep only track B playing, the dancers keep

the same dancing rhythm.

If the BPM rates of 2 music tracks are very far one from the other, you can synchronize them by

setting the BPM rate of the second music track at half or twice the BPM rate of the first music

track, so that the beat of the second music track is played at the same time as 1 beat out of 2 of

the first music track, or vice versa. Typically, you can synchronize a 75 BPM music track with

another track set at 75 BPM, or with a track set at 150 BPM.

a) Adjusting pitch in timecode mode

In timecode mode, you should not move the pitch faders with your mouse in the

VirtualDJ software: the only good way to change the pitch in timecode mode is to adjust the

pitch on your turntable or CD player itself.

In timecode mode, if you move the pitch fader in VirtualDJ with your mouse instead of using the

fader on your turntable or CD player, the position of the pitch fader in the VirtualDJ software will

not correspond to the position of the pitch fader on your physical device, which is very confusing

and should therefore be avoided.

Conversely, if you switch off timecode mode, you must use the pitch fader in the VirtualDJ

software, and not on your turntable or CD player.

b) Pitch scale

In VirtualDJ 6 LE TC, you can set a pitch scale of 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 20%, 25%, 33%, 50% or

100%.
