How to unlock the Perfect Pitch achievement in DJ Hero 2 - Definitive Guide

For the easiest possible way to do this achievement, you'll want to find yourself a song that is purely made up of talky-parts where you're supposed to just make noise to the rhythm of the words.

The best one that springs to mind is "Firestarter" by the Prodigy.

All you do for the entire duration of the song is tap your palm on the microphone, this makes a constant noise and will register all of the notes in the chart. If you're unsure what I mean, it's not too dissimilar to the percussion sections during the Rock Band vocals - where you're supposed to tap the microphone onto your palm like a tambourine.

I, personally, did this one the mix of "Get Low" and "In Da Club" - only at the start is their an actual vocalized part, and if you manage to pull it off you're home and hosed.

This method is also useful in trying to nab the 200 note streak achievement, Microphonical Magic!

Good luck.

if u cannot sing and cannot see yourself doing this then just search quickplay for the quickest song and just tap your mic constatly on your leg for instance. thats the only way i got this achievement.

please note this will not work if there is long singing notes involved. best ones are just the dotted songs

Actually in the "Get Low" and "In Da Club" mix there are a lot of long lines when Lil' Jon sings "to the window", and my repeated tapping on the top of the mouth piece registered these notes.

So constant noise *will* also work for the long notes, not just the short dotted ones; you just need to maintain rhythm to maintain noise.

i found house of pain jump around a lot easier... plus if you tap continuously with your middle 3 fingers you can constantly tap fast to make sure you wont miss... where as using your palm is a lot slower

Palms, fingers -- whatever's quickest and most comfortable for you.

The point remains that hitting the head of the microphone with your chosen appendage will create enough noise to register the notes without having to sing.

Totally agree with Pukey UK. House of Pain vs. Busta Rhymes is the easiest mix to do this on. You need to unlock it from Empire mode first.

Thanks! Just did it on House of Pain! Just a matter of what rhythm to choose (how fast or slow to tap...)

Finally got it. I had to wear a glove to generate enough sound using the palm method and my hand was very sore during it. Never thought achievements could be physically painful, lol.

Firestarter worked great! I just used my fingernails like claws and kept scratching the mic. Take a break when it slows with no words so you don't get tired.

I did Jump Around/Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See and used the scratching top of the mic with fingernails technique. One note didn't light up, but my multiplier didn't drop. I still got 100% and I also got the 200 note vocal streak achievement. Thanks!

I did this on the song "Busta Rhymes - "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See"

But that's not what this guide is for. The main trick part here is to use a wired mic. Wireless mics, like the Lips one, do not register correcttly the rap parts, so grab a GH:world tour wired mic and continuously hit some hard surface, as long as you can keep it up for the whole song you will get the achievement.

House of Pain vs. Busta Rhymes

Easiest mix to do this on.

** Get you're Mum's or Girlfriend's/Wife's Wooden spoon out the kitchen and hit the top on the mic as fast as you can!!

YOU NEED 548 Hits ..... My arm now hurts :(

I did it really easy on Pump up the volume.
It´s much easier to rub the mic on a wood board instead of clapping.
Better take a wood board you don´t need anymore ^^

Whack on some filthy dubstep.

Mic up to speaker.

(Scratching mic against speaker for added nastiness is optional.)

Profit.

You'll also get 'Microphonical Magic!' for 15G if you haven't already.

If you can actually carry a tune and are having trouble staying on rhythm to be able to get this achievement with something like Firestarter or Pump Up The Volume/Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See, I'd recommend trying Move for Me by Kaskade/Deadmau5. After listening to it a couple of times, you'll probably have the tune pretty much down. It's also fairly short compared to most of the other songs in the game at 222 phrases, so getting a 100% here will be less work than on a lot of other songs you could pick.

Also, don't worry about the extra vocals added in from scratching or samples; the game only asks for the basic melody of the song.

There are a few songs that are all talking parts. These include both mixes with Busta Rhymes and "Firestarter" by The Prodigy. I personally did this on "Firestarter." I simply tapped rapidly and it hit every single section, even the sustained one. "Firestarter" also has more than 200 notes, so you will bang out Microphonical Magic! at the same time.

You will need to hit all of the notes in a song for this trophy. Similar to Microphonical Magic, pick a straight rap song such as ?Busta Rhymes - Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See/ House of Pain - Jump Around. Since vocal pick up isn’t the greatest on this game, you may find yourself having a hard time getting every single not. You can try blowing into the mic, tapping it or rubbing it against a couch cushion. Just stay patient and vigilant and you will get it.

Everything is very simple, take a microphone and a gamepad, turn on the song Prodigy - Firestarter, and from the very beginning of the song, tap the microphone with your palm, after several attempts you will understand the desired rhythm of tapping and complete this achievement, also by completing this achievement you will receive another “Microphonical Magic”.

There is a much easier way. We take any lighter, turn up the volume of the microphone, and stupidly, at a very fast speed, rub the microphone while the words are coming, three as quickly and as hard as possible, just don’t blow up the lighter =) The achievement is yours.
