The Sync button is pretty controversial, and you may have your own opinion on it. I myself have nothing agains’t it, but I do believe everyone should learn how to beat match manually.
Anyway. No matter what you think of the Sync button, there is no denying the fact, that it’s pretty useful and especially useful if you want to transition huge BPM differences.
So in this video I’m gonna teach you how to smoothly transition from low to high BPM’s and high to low bpms - like 90 to 130, and vice versa.

►SCRIPT
This transition technique works by setting the currently playing song as MASTER, and activating SYNC on the song you want to transition to.
Once you reach your transition point, which will be the outro of a song. You will then mix in the intro of the next song. But here’s the kicker. Once the songs are playing together you will then use the tempo fader of the master deck (which is set to the WIDE) to bring the BPM of both songs either higher or lower - depending on the next songs base bpm, you want to transition to.
And at the same time, you will then do the necessary mixing, such as bringing the volume up and EQing, to smoothly transition to the next song.
So the first step is this:
Set your tempo fader range to WIDE. To do that on Rekordbox DJ, just click this section here, and to do this on Serato, just click this section here.
Now for this example we’re going to transition from a low bpm to a high bpm. Later on, I’ll show you how to transition from a high bpm to a low bpm.
Anyway, the 2nd step is to load both your songs, which ideally have long intros and outros. And set the song you want to transition from as master, and activate sync on the song you want to transition to.
Now however you affect the bpm of the 1st song, the 2nd song will follow.
Third step is to play the first song, and wait for it’s outro section. While that is happening, make sure you next song is armed and ready to play once you reach that section. Keep in mind that the volume fader of the next song is all the way down,
So once the mix in section has been reached, the next step is to play the next song and slowly mix it in, all while bringing the tempo fader of the 1st song closer and closer to the next songs base BPM.
Please note that when you adjust the tempo fader, you do it as smoothly as you can, as to not disrupt the vibe of the dance floor.
It’s also important to note that having a long outro and intro for both songs is ideal, to give you more leeway to mix and transition.

Being an open-format Dj sync is a MUST. Mixing in a bar for 6 hours every weekend, a massive library, comfortable shoes, a positive attitude and THE SYNC button are the best companion.
Agree! Just do you and embrace technology!
thank you very much.! i see so many oldschool Dj's out there getting mad when a dj use SYNC
best comment ever
Only 6 hours bruh i do 16 hours set
It all depends on what you are using sync for.. If its to open up creativity, then its a no brainer... Go for it 👍
accept the development. if we use sync we can have more time to be more creative and create more unique FX
I’m a big sync fan 🤩 it make my mixing way easier and quicker to add more style
Totally agree. It's what style you want and what tools you need for it. I never got looked down on for using a plastic pic for guitar playing when some other people like to finger pick.
I get shit from my peers for djing with sync, so much that I use more time between b2b2b to make sure the sync is off so they don’t know I used it, but after learning to count bars I don’t use it as much but I do love me a mix that brings the tempo up like a build up for a dubstep drop it’s all love
This is exactly what sync feature was meant for. This transition would not have been possible on turntables. I have been DJ'ing for over 20 years and I still learn something new watching your tutorials. Keep it up. You rock.
@@djcarlo
That might make for an interesting video. Technic 1200 vs DDJ 1000, the pro's and con's of both and what is possible in today's world of DJ'ing.
Omg i literally looked at the sub and view count on his channel. Bro you deserve waaaayyyyy more!
You should post a tutorial on how to make your own edited versions of the original songs to a personal edited/extended songs...
DJ Carlo Atendido expect！！！
yumyumrazon yesss, please
@@djcarlo that would actually be so great :)
personally I use an "1/2 way" increase /decrease. Gradually taking the 1st track from 90 to 110, while starting the the 2nd track at 110 and then bring it up to it's final 130
Great tutorial, always on point!
No matter how you mix, the key is if you have the tools available, use them. No one really cares on the damcefloor. Great stuff!
As up to me, sync are not taboo at all. I can say even more - I happy with that little button coz it gives me more time for creativity. Deejaying since 2004 🎉
Right?! I wish more people would see that and use it for that exact reason. Consider it a 3rd hand if you will!
Great technique. Manual skills are important, but there's definitely no need to hold some kung-fu vendetta against the sync button. It's only a button. It can't hurt you.
lololol
Hahahah you're right 😛
Gotta say, I love the sync button, cause I mix psytrance ranging from 142 - 160 bpm, and there's a lot going on within those bpm and in that genre, and when you use the main fx plus the fx pads at the same time, keeping up with beatmacthing along that is hard, I ain't no octopus ✌
OMG that was so good idea for get a pretty dope transition , I still learning every day , thanks Carlos ..
glad I found this guy the fact that hes demonstrating on the same controller as I am and demonstrates at a speed where I can catch whats going on being a hands on learner both points are very helpful to me
Being a fresh beginner I'll be learning beat matching by ear ofc but I'll use that button for all it's worth later. Fantastic time saver!
Thank you for watching my tutorial video! I am glad it saves you time to learn more! Cheers!
i like the speed of you are speaking. As a german, i understand you very well. Thx!
🇩🇪🫶🏽💯
Hey Carlo. Although I agree that a beginner DJ should beatmatch manually.
You did a great job with better using the sync button as a mixing too instead of a cheat.
Thanks
Richie BriXX
I make a great habit of beat matching by ear, but the use of the SYNC button for drastic BPM/genre shifts is an excellent way to transition. Great video!
omg nice. I'm learning to DJ from you and its been amazing so far
Glad you're learning from the videos bud! That really makes me happy!
Using sync is fine, so long as people respect and make the most of its advantages, like with techniques like this!
When I did my first dj gig I had nothing except traktor on a laptop and a portable mouse (no controller!) and the guys I was playing with were all on vinyl. I was very aware of the advantages I had, so made the most of it. So I made sure I was mixing harmonically, mixing fast, using effects and utilising all 4 decks - doing things which were impossible or at least difficult with turntables. If I had played a set which was no more technical than what the guys on turntables were spinning, then that would be lazy of me, I was aware of the advantages I had with sync so I used them! I since got a set of turn tables and 11 years on I’m about to get my first controller!
Hi, bud! Thank you so much for sharing this! Totally inspired by this!
About the Sync button, it's pretty useful, but always knowing how to beatmatch by ear, 'cause softwares aren't perfect, and the grid's not always right.
Love this tutorials, they're really useful. Thanks ;-).
#truestory
Great video man! 😉
Been DJing for years there is nothing wrong with using technology, thats what is there for. Ue whatever it takes to get the job done. Im all for technology…..the crowd don’t care only criticial hating DJ’s….
You're so clear to explain this tipe of things, others do very complex. 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I appreciate that! This is my goal! Easy-to-follow tutorials! Thanks for watching!
Prefect 👌🏽
This is so helpful.
Thank u 🙏🏽
Thanks Montego! Really happy the tutorial worked out well for you!
it really helps thank you so much Dj Carlo Atendido ...
thank you so much ... i hope to see you ... i just want to learn to scratch ...
Definitely a great thing to learn and accept the sync button as a friend for transitions. Learned how to make the fader 'wide' on serato by holding shift and keylock. Thank You Carlo!
I've been DJ'ing for over ten years now. Two years using just a laptop and Virtual DJ and the remaining eight using Traktor and a Kontrol S2. The DDJ 400 really had me considering changing over. Your thoughts?
I m old school dj from the 80s...but i like new tech, and i like the way you explane everything about it..keep it up !!!
Awesome.
This is worth trying.
I really loved your echo transition technique.
I use it when I'm practicing at home and try to master it
Uh are we watching the same video?
You are amazing! I love your videos. I’m a beginner DJ and I’m learning everything from you
I'm glad you learn new things every time Jam!

Thanks😎
All Good for You & Familly & Friends
Thank you too! Stay awesome!
So useful for switching genres thank you
You're welcome man! Glad you got some tips from the video!
Sync is one of the most useful thing at djaying and it is very easy to use
Woot woot! Yes!
actually love your videos, nice work!!
I got no problems with sync, if used right. This tutorial is a good example, and a technique I use myself. I don't even care if a DJ just uses it to match the tempo. There's very little difference between tapping that sync button, and matching your tempo just looking at the bpm counter. I don't like if the beatgrid is off and a DJ trainwrecks because they are too reliant on sync and didn't bother to prepare/check their track beforehand.
As someone who spent years manually beatmatching on turntables, I'm glad there's ways to speed up the workflow. Even better these things can give us new and creative ways to mix songs together.
Hi, Carlo! I am already using this technique, but my friends told me that I am "cheating" just because I use the SYNC button. Thank you for featuring this technique in your video. 😊
Cheating on who?
Just do your thing
ITS...AWESOME..I HAVE LEARN NEW THING NOW..I USE TO USE SYNC ONLY BUT..NO W WILL PRATICE THIS..THANKS💕
@@djcarlo anytime😉
Great video! Thanks!
For sure! Make good use of it!
@@djcarlo will do, for sure!
I think DJs complaining about the sync button act really stupid. It's not about how many buttons you tap or how complicated you do things,the result is what matters. Nobody in the crowd is gonna care it u used sync because 99% of them are NOT DJs. They are just normal people who wanna have a great time. Thanks for the video anyways! I was searching for this!
I learned to beatmatch on Technics decks many, many years ago but I now use Sync all the time. IMHO, people who complain about Sync buttons just aren't good enough DJs to differentiate themselves in any other way.
Doing this transition in key sounds even smoother.
Nice bro!!! Awesome transition process!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thanks for this. I struggle with finding ways of how to transition from different bpms. This reminded me Idan do this!
Thanks a lot dj carlo
For sure! Hope you get to use this transition method in your sets buddy!
Seems like a very good place to use sync, in my opinion. If you want to simultaneously adjust the tempos of two different tracks, then sync seems to be the way to do that.
The reason I wouldn't use sync for general use is that I would want the control of being able to easily move back into tempo once the new song begins and it gets confusing if you don't have the tempo faders in the 'real' position, even if you disengage sync once the new track if playing by itself.
In my opinion it’s there for a reason. So if it makes your life easier why not use it . Mabuhay ka Carlo 👊🏽😎🇵🇭
Exactly! Use it as a tool for your mixes, and work that magic!
@@djcarlo I apologise if I’m bothering you a lot . Just wondering what’s the rst for ? That can be found on the top left corner of my rekordbox software . Thanks 🙏🏽 👊🏽😎🇵🇭
Cool tips Carlo, this is a excellent tips using sync for transition from different BPM with higher speed.
Thank you for all tutorial from you!Nice way to learn something new from a real Dj
Very informative video Carlo. Thanks !!
ive been DJ'ing a week or so now and i didnt even know about the beat sync button until i hit it on accident LMAO, was just manually beat matching
Go for the manual beat matching first JD! Then once you've got that down, have fun with sync haha
@@djcarlo haha for sure man. Thank you for all your vids too btw learning a ton!
I like it...it helped me hear how it can work....thanks
I have used this technique before. Thanks for sharing DJ Carlo!
Not a fan of using sync, but completely understand when you’re doing BPM transitions or any sort of complex dynamic mixing or mixing a track that isn’t metered.
Exactly! Sometimes, especially when you're focused on the routine, sync will come in handy!
Everything has a purpose! Great video
YOU MY INSPIRATION CARLO.. THANKS FOR SHARE THIS TECHNICS.. THIS CHANNEL IS THE GREAT ONLINE TEACHER.. :)
Thank u sir
Love from India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Yay! Sending my love back to India!
Awesome Carlos ... This tutorial was dope ... Great transition from high bmp to low bmp ... Beautiful bro... Saludo amigo carlos 👊🙌🎧
you are the best i love you,,, love your tutorials ,,, your explanation and demonstration you are simply the best and i wish to meet you in person in my life time U ARE THE BEST TEACHER AND DJ EVER
@@djcarlo thanks for your reply boss you are a GOD sent cuz your tutorial always comes in details that keeps you outstanding and you teach with passion GOD BLESS U BOSS
Excellent advice and video.
The friend that taught me how to DJ had sync disabled in Serato so I had to learn how to do a lot of that stuff manually like you said but now that I've gotten better, on my copy of Serato, I've enabled it and I don't really use it that often except for in BPM transitions like you've displayed here. And I've only done that during a gig once..
It's definitely something I should practice more of though...
Miss, not sir..
But ty for the reply!
How did you get your bpm range to wide in Serato? I can't figure out how to do it...
Great video, thanks bro
Dude really!!!....Your the BomB!!!...Thank you...where you at?...Let’s do business
Mixing skills tips and tricks very useful
Brutal el video bro!! Me ha sido de mucha ayuda para empatar temas con diferentes bpm. Nadie lo habia explicado asi antes
no1 will care what u are doing as long as u gi e good music the people wil love you as dj
Thanks DJ!! Got a clear view now!
@@djcarlo I did! Have a graduation party this weekend and have been practicing this method! Thank you for all you do for us beginner DJs!!
Oooofff, the sync button is helpful indeed I just don't know why people are abusing it or calling it not DJing but hey it's there for a reason and in this video you'll find out one of the answer. Thanks kuya Carlo!
You deserve more kuya Carlo, I've searched a lot more dj tutorials but I find yours simple, very applicable and easy to learn. You deserve more gigs out there 😁😁
As a veteran dj, I hate that there's a sync button. But I will say that for mixes like this, it comes in super handy. Thanks for showing this old dog new tricks.
I only use the sync to match the bpm because on the ddj sb3 it's hard to dial in the exact bpm witht the slider, other than that, I don't use the sync to match the beat I do all that by ear
Which is good! Keep that balance :D
YOU KILL THE GAME
Omg bro it’s so helpful thanks bro from boracay
Great Video Carlo! Is there a "Master" setting for Serator DJ Pro? Not sure I have seen that.
I use it for that purpose the most. Also when I using a third deck but I only have two track controller/ turntables.
Respect for you bro! I really appreciate your work🙏
I want to become a techno DJ as I find the genre interesting and you can create a lot of stuff with it but I don't know where to find any songs. Any advice? Also, you're an amazing content creator, responding to every comment, keep it up!
Ah okay. I was doing a mix and the sync was set to master the entire time, so it kept all the songs I was playing at the original BPM of the initial song even though it was long gone. I was wondering why my entire set seemed really slow and wasn't matching the beat of the newer tracks!
Hahaha, yes. Don't forget to keep updating sync as you go along!
I think this is just another way to be a better dj to surprise the crowd.
Indeed! We have all these tools, why not use them to up the crowd experience?
@@djcarlo Afther taking 20 years off from being a DJ and coming back to all digital was a little intimidated. But your videos have help me out big time. I can not say thank you enough I'm very happy I found your videos differently a life saver. Thank you.
whereialex in the background!! respect
Great vidoes for begginers. Thanks a lot, I couldn't find key(tone) sync button on DDJ-400 ??
I love your tutorial
Love the transition
useful👌loved it
Thanks for ur tutorials first!
I have an issue, if I press sync the following song (95bpm) does not sync to the speed of the master song(150bpm).
Instead it halved(75bpm)...
Do anyone know how to fix this?
i found the same problem and still dont know how
Grazie Carlo nice one
Good work 👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Will you be teaching us how to use the "edit mode" in Rekordbox? That would go over pretty well I think.
Hi carlo, I would like to learn how to play a soung with slow BPM like , what a wounderfull world ,with a 125 BPM track , withot chenging the voice of singer.Do you have a video ? Thanks
Simply keep the Key Lock on in your software 🥳
U literally saved my ass from being booed due, thank u so much. You owned a subscriber
Wow! Great save! Thanks for subscribing!
Great technique to add to the skills
Dj Carlo please How can do this skill on Serato Dj pro? I will really appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your Educative Videos ❤️💯
It should work the same way as on Rekordbox! Let me try to play around with Serato and see the difference, but as long as they're in sync, it should work the same!
@@djcarlo Thank you sir
Great vids. Personally...I am all for the sync button. Most of the time I was drunk when I was a club DJ and really could have used one back then. :)
Just getting into controllers...question if you happen to see this.
Can you simulate turning the power off to a turntable with a controller? I don't mean the wind up/wind down effect of hitting start/stop. I mean when you kill the power and it coasts to a stop. thanks again for the videos.
Unfortunately, I don't think so. You could probably manipulate the brake effect on some equipment to simulate that very slow stop, but it's not really something you can do on most controllers.
i wonder wich one is more hated, either Sync OR Smart Fader
Id say Sync, because a lot of folks don't know about Smart Fader, and it's limited to Rekordbox. But for real, both are amazing and underrated tools
Its cool clean transition....bro...
I like it master😁😁😁awesome technique!
perfect
Great technique right?
I use sync all the time, just know how to use it because it could fuck your mix up too, keep an eye on sync when you transition. I like it.
@@djcarlo definitely , you surely got to be skilled.
How do you get it timed perfectly on the drop while the other songs ends? Or is that just your music knowledge?
