[music playing]
Okay. Now, what I am going to do now, if I press queue, you can hear its off beat. That is really off beat. So here we go, what I will do now is that we will wind this towards the end. Okay, here we go. Wait for the breaks. Now, if it is off, move the jog wheel, that is in beat. Now watch what happens when I stop moving the jog wheel. So, it is off beat again. Watch this now. Move the beat. Too fast. Anti-clockwise. Clockwise. Here we go. It feels too fast so we slowed up and then move the beat down a bit.
[music stopped]
Okay. So basically, what you actually saw me doing was that this particular piece of music needed to speed up. So, what we did is that we moved the jog wheel clockwise and then it caught up. But, because I did not move the pitch to begin with and I took my hands off the jog wheel, the music went back to the original speed of where the speed was. So, what I had to do was move the jog wheel, get it in beat and then move the pitch control up. Have a listen. Maybe it was off so move the jog wheel again. Maybe it was still off, move the jog wheel again, pitch. Continually, what we are doing is that we are chopping and changing it from the jog wheel to the pitch. That is one way of doing it. This is almost the same principle of a vinyl turntables DJ. What they are doing is that they are moving the turntable. They are moving the platter back and forwards. I have said that I do not normally do that with a vinyl turntable simply because I am so used to just using the pitch on a vinyl turntable. What I actually find with a CDJ, it is a good idea. It is useful. It is very useful for fine tuning. So, if that pitch is just there and you think that maybe it needs to be tweaked up, it needs to speed up a tiny amount, you could just do small movements on that job wheel. Your CDJ is just like that, but once they have done that, then they got to move that pitch control in relation to the jog wheel. Clockwise, speed the pitch up. Anti-clockwise, slow the pitch down. That is what you got to do.
I hope that this has been a help. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
