Also note that if you are using beat-matching by ear for these kinds of tracks, ONLY use your ear. If you try to back up your skill by watching the phase meter, you will be tricked because the phase meter uses the grid to set the phase, not the beats. So if your grid is off, then so is your phase meter.

My own personal choice with these awkward tracks is to beatmatch them by ear. You need to be active on the nudge buttons or platter as you might find the tempo continues to increase even whilst you are in the mix.

I get that sometimes with various tracks and I remedied it by rebooting my mac, closing down every application and WIFI, connecting my s4 and THEN opening traktor on my mac. When it happens live, manual beatmatch is the only way to go, always have your WAV files on a USB stick, CDJs can save you also.

Unfortunately the teachers I've had have always emphasized interpretation over strict adherence to the written notes. I won't argue the benefits to this, but I will state that I now have a horrible problem keeping time. I can usually carry the tune on beat for a few measures but then I completely lose the beat and fall back to interpretation.

When it comes down to it, though, being able to count a consistent quarter-note (for example) is only a part of the problem, and using a metronome set to the quarter-note will really only ensure that the notes that land on that beat are on time.

I think that it is also important to make sure your metronome is beating at the right subdivision for you. If you are having trouble keeping time, you should be counting at a small enough subdivision that you can easily count with a high consistency, using the metronome to keep you honest.

First of all, you should buy a good metronome. Then practise with the metronome. Start moderately slow and turn it up in small steps. Do this with for some time with different songs/pieces and after a while you will notice that you get better at keeping time. In my experience there are only very few people that are completely "time-deaf".

Once you're comfortable with that, bring things more into balance, so that you can hear yourself and the beat equally. But still concentrate on listening to the beat more than your own playing. If you fluff a note, play on. If you have skip part of a passage to get back in sync with the beat, do it. Resynching with the band is a good skill.

Just recently came across this lesson with Victor Wooten on keeping time. Most of the tips he goes through are ones I've seen others mention too (e.g. halving the tempo), the five over four one was new to me though. Although he's a pro and plays a groove way above my head, you can instead simplify it, the important thing here is to play rhythm while staying on the beat.

If you have a DAW you can also record yourself playing and pay attention to where you're missing. And you could also program a click track and remove one beat in each measure, another exercise I've heard people suggest to keep time.

One thing that has helped me be more attuned to following timing is playing the keyboard. When you play with the built in auto-accompaniment, you are forced to keep time. Over time you get more used to following the pace of the measures, and you mentally divide things that you hear into groups of measures, measures, etc. Also my keyboard flashes a red light on the first beat of the measure and a green light on the other beats, so if you somehow skipped or added a beat somewhere you'll be able to tell.

Don't blame the teachers. YOU need to feel the beat, and to get your fingers to the right place for the next note or chord on time. If you cant, there's on;y one answer. Practice slowly. Slowly but accurately. The whole piece, or at least a section of it. Get your fingers used to playing it RIGHT. Then, when you speed up, it will still be right.

A key element to good timing is not only being able to keep time with a metronome, but being able to keep good time without a metronome. IMO this is a downfall to getting an analog-style metronome because they are always "on" so you are constantly dependent on it for your own time. With some digital metronomes and also with music software you can set it up to mute the click temporarily which allows you to practice keeping time without the metronome and then check your self to see how you're doing. Then when the click comes back on you will know immediately if you drifted off tempo while it was muted. Once you get to where you can really lock into the downbeat when the click kicks back on you should notice a big improvement in your ability to keep good time with other music and musicians.

I found that I had the same issue. I spent two years playing guitar without any backing music. I never thought about it much until I tried playing along with a drum and bass. I hadnt developed any coordination to listen to others while playing my instrument. Even after I started playing along to drum and bass it took me quite some time before I realized I was off beat. I was naturally focused on getting into the groove and feeling of the backing tracks, but this is how I created some of my best stuff, even though it wasnt perfectully built. My way to learn to play in time was to focus solely on the beat and forget about my hands, fingers, pick or whatever. It was very difficult, I found my mind focusing back to my playing rather than the beat, but the more I did it, the better I got at playing to the beat. Now, I still let myself get lost in the groove when I create new music, but since I learned to focus my playing both ways, I am able to take what I create and smooth it out.

In the early 1990s, when raves had become commonplace in London's underground electronic music scene, a faction of U.K. DJs decided to try something new. Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, two former ravers known as The Dust Brothers, had mellowed a bit since their all-nighters in Blackburn and taken to DJing in London bars. The duo developed a reputation for packaging hip-hop breakbeats and acid house riffs in a digestible pop-song structure.

Rowlands and Simons, of course, became The Chemical Brothers, while Norman Cook gained international acclaim as Fatboy Slim. The big-beat-defining duo started producing dance tracks filled with rock-style verse/chorus/verse flows, breakbeat samples and the build/drop format found in house music. London label Wall of Sound and Brighton's Skint Records were at the center of the revolution, with the former releasing singles from Propellerheads, Wiseguys and Les Rythmes Digitales and Brighton's Skint signing Fatboy Slim, Lo Fidelity All-Stars and Bentley Rhythm Ace.

Big beat was considered by some in the electronic community to represent a dumbing-down of dance music, though others claim it saved electronic music from wandering off the edges of experimentation. Britain quickly embraced the trend, and the style managed to briefly cross over into the American mainstream.

LIAM HOWLETT formed THE PRODIGY in 1990 in Braintree, Essex. The quartet went on to become one of the most well-known and commercially successful big beat groups of the '90s. Howlett was a product of the U.K. rave scene and, along with The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, introduced rave-style warehouse parties to the U.S.

This song was there at the start of the Big Beat Boutique at the Concorde in Brighton. I must have danced to it hundreds of times and enjoyed it every single time. It's got all the elements that make up a big beat track. It's all about the breakbeat. Once you've got the breakbeat, it's taking elements of dance music like the 303 lines and sampling elements from house music. But the rhythm track is fundamentally different, because it's based usually on the breakbeat from an old record that's been processed to make it sound more heavy. It's been given a more modern sound by sticking it through a compressor.

MARTIN WHITEMAN was an engineer with big beat artists in the early 1990s. As a musician, he played keys with the Lo Fidelity All-Stars, who were on the scene and made several tracks in the big beat style, including "Kasparov's Revenge." 

We used to do a lottery [for] who would get a chance to play this song, because in a night someone always played it. It's kind of a midtempo track. It was the perfect bridge from faster hip-hop and funk to house tempo. It's such an amazing record. It was quite a hard record, as well. This was before big beat was defined. With ourselves and the people at the Heavenly Social, it was kind of a moment when we realized we were after slightly more uptempo sort of club tracks. There were not enough of these records to play out; that's when we started making records. The dynamics and machismo and funk of hip-hop, the energy and euphoria of acid house, and then [the] sort of dynamics of rock music. Not so much about the grooves you hear in house music. It's more about events. Energetic and in-your-face.

DAMIAN HARRIS started Skint Records in 1995. It was one of the two most prominent labels in the original big beat scene. FATBOY SLIM was on the roster, along with BENTLEY RHYTHM ACE and LO FIDELITY ALL-STARS. Harris started the club night Big Beat Boutique with Fatboy Slim in Brighton in '95. 

When The Chemical Brothers started the Heavenly Social, I was the warm-up DJ for them. We started a club in Brighton so we didn't have to travel to London every weekend, called the Big Beat Boutique, which is where the term "big beat" was coined. If you think that house music is named after the Warehouse club in Chicago, and garage was named after Paradise Garage in New York, big beat was named after the Big Beat Boutique in Brighton. I think a definitive song for me would be The Chemical Brothers' "Brothers Gonna Work It Out." It was sort of the blueprint. It used breakbeats, but it used kind of acid house build-ups and a great sort of pop hook. We cherry-picked the best things from rave and hip-hop. The party side of hip-hop rather than the aggressive side. And the sort of euphoric side of rave, rather than the gnarly side. 0852c4b9a8
