Beginner dj needs help with beatmatching
Hey guys, I a newbie but know certain basics like how to calculate bpm, how to use the pitch bend to align track when it's going off and how to use the pitch fader to get the same speed of both tracks, I can beatmatch 2 songs with same or close bpm's and if they have the same strong beats, what I am mainly having trouble with is knowing sometimes which beat is the downbeat or first beat in a song so sometimes I may match up a snare with the kickbass and with some songs I notice that I may catch the correct timing with both kicks but it occurs only for a split second or so but what is frustrating is that these 2 songs have the same exact speed and tempo so I don't understand why they are difficult to beatmatch? 2 songs for example are Shannon's "let the music play" and "My heart's divided".

I am trying to use the waveforms in Virtual DJ for those 2 tunes and still can't get it right, I have tried looking at videos of beat structure and bars and all that but doesn't help with these 2 tracks, any ideas please?
