Lesson 8: Mixing Techniques

Beat Matching

Beatmatching: This is a technique used to align the beats of two songs so that they are in sync with each other. In order for the beats to be in sync, a couple of things must be true:

  1. The two songs are playing at the same tempo/BPM (Beats Per Minute)

  2. The beats must be in phase – i.e., the rhythmic notes (bass drum, snare drum, etc.) occur at the same times.
