I use my headphones to get to the mix. After that I disable my headphones. Then you hear it exactly like it is being mixed. I am not saying you can't use headphones, but it does sound different when you actually get to the mix when using them.
I learned to beatmatch in 2002. I learned on generic direct drive turntables, not technics. It wasn't until 5 years later that I got Stanton st8-150s. Mixing on the generic turntables, I had to overcome the fact that they simply did not hold their pitch perfectly.
I am not saying don't use your headphones. I am saying that for the purpose of this thread, which has gone wildly out off the rails pertaining to what the subject matter was to record and listen back.
You have jumped from someone learning to beatmatch to being on a loud stage and having to use your headphones to mix.
My comments were aimed at the thread's purpose - someone learning to beatmatch.
I don't know how you arrived at your position fighting my advice for disabling the headphones for the actual mix to better determine the different tracks.
Also - record everything. You did not outright say that you shouldn't record, but the insinuation is apparent. If you can tell if it's beat matched in the headphones you know. I am not disputing that. I am just pointing out the fact that when you record your early trials at beatmatching, you will see where you messed up and learn from those mistakes.
Comparing now live bands and musicians into a thread about trying to learn to beatmatch is a pretty big stretch.
You're comment on my experience is childish. You don't know me. If it makes you feel superior, than go ahead, attack me.
