x2k Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 always by ear, it's what I'm used to, the waveform isn't acurate enough and it's no fun matching up lines on the screen...it can be useful if there are issues with the monitoring in the club though.

Steve Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 By ear. I'll sometimes look at the waveform when I'm cueing up a track so I can see where it starts, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I use both and like the visual system as an add to my ear esp if there is no monitor or if the sound system sucks. Â ...but my friend uses no headphones ever and does it by eye ...but he said he used to practice that way prior to serato too... so go figure.

Sounds like a crime Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 lol to be honest looking at the wav form is what taught me how to mix.  But now i do it by ear mostly, I like the visual side of it because it quite handy to see when breaks are going to happen in the song. Especially since I tend to play songs i haven't really played/heard before. Although sometimes it annoying that i learnt that way because if I am watching someone else on serato, I can tell if the mix is in time or not. I just find myself looking at the screen lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blak Randy Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Do you mix by ear or use the wave form to match em? If I'm mixing anything with programmed or looped beats that hold perfect time like hip hop, house ect. then just by ear as normal. The only time I use the waveforms is if I'm mixing live drums. I use it to pull the record into time here n there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Same as discuss by waveform if i'm mixing anything programmed. I use headphones if i don't know the tune very well but otherwise i rarely use headphones. I'm just much faster that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
