2 Channel Mixing

After you feel comfortable syncing up the

Beatkeeper, you're ready to mix. Mixing with the

Beatkeeper has three parts: syncing to the

music (which you've done), aligning the tempos,

and aligning the beats. Once these three things

are done, you will have a perfect mix. No more guessing,

tapping, or embarrassing fades.

Choose another music selection and start it on your

right channel. Sync up the first song as described in

the last section. With the first selection synced (Sync

Lock LED illuminated), sync up the right channel

the same way you set up the left.

As the second Sync Lock LED illuminates, a

new dimension of DJing begins: VISUAL

MIXING.

The bar graphs on the top of the

Beatkeeper have now been activated and are

updating automatically.

NOTE: In order to perform a mix which is tracked by

the Beatkeeper, both channels MUST be synced. This

is indicated by the yellow Sync Lock LED being lit for

both inputs.

In order to create the perfect mix, your goal

is to keep both bar graphs as close to

centered (green or yellow) as possible.

First, align the top graph, the Tempo Difference

Graph. This graph indicates how close the two BPMs are

to each other. If they are exactly the same tempo, the

green LED in the middle will light up. If one song is faster

than the other, the bar graph will shift towards the faster

song. If the Tempo Difference graph is not

centered, adjust the speed of one of the

inputs using the pitch control. For example, if the

Tempo Difference graph has a red LED illuminated

closer to the right channel of the Beatkeeper, the right

channel is faster than the left channel, either slow down

the right channel, or speed up the left channel.

If the opposite is true, the Tempo Difference Graph has

a red LED illuminated on the left channel, indicating the

song on the left channel is faster than that the right

channel, either slow down the left channel, or speed up

the right channel.The second step involves the bottom

graph, the Beat Offset Graph. This graph indicates how

close the individual beats are. Both BPMs may be the

same but the beats may not be in sync. This is often

described as the “ping-pong” effect. If the beats are

matched, the green LED in the middle lights up. If the

beats of one input are earlier than beats of the other

input, the Beat Offset Graph will shift toward the song

with the earlier beats.

To align the Beat Offset Graph when using

CD Players, adjust the appropriate pitch bend.

If you are using turntables, hold or apply

pressure to the record/turntable and then

release to “shift” the beat.

If the Beat Offset graph is shifted toward the right

channel either use the minus (“-”) pitch bend for the right

channel CD player (with vinyl, apply pressure to slow the

turntable) or use the plus (“+”) pitch bend for the left

channel CD player (with vinyl push the turntable ahead).

Intuitively, if either bar graph is shifted towards a

channel, this indicates that the song on that channel is

“ahead” of the other one. Either the tempo is faster (top

graph), or the beats come sooner (bottom graph).

When both bar graphs are in the green you

are ready to perform your mix!

Don’t forget you can always resync to the beat, if it ever

shifts off, by tapping the Beat Assist button.

If the beats start to drift, you'll be able to easily adjust

the music before your audience can hear it. No other

beat counter or automatic mixer can give you the power

to make a more accurate mix!

NOTE: The Beat Offset bar graph either indicates beat-

to-beat offset, or beat-to-halfbeat offset, whichever is

closer. This allows the DJ the option of mixing on the

beat or on the half beat.
