Re: difficulty switching from turntables to cdjs

why is that when you make a loop on the cdj-1000mk2s mix in the drum loop take it out of the loop its out by miles even though you have had it mixed in for the last 2 mins of the track....help

i stopped using the loop function on my cdjs a while back because of that exact reason, when you make a loop manually, i found it really hard to get the bpm on your loop is exactly the same as the rest of the unlooped track so when you exit a loop that youve matched with another track, your beat match gets way off...if that makes any sense at all.

let us know what you find out... i constantly find my loops quicker in tempo than what it was to begin with. either we're a little off in our loops or the jackyls at pioneer didn't do a very good job when creating the loop function.

im preety sure its because the 4/4 loop you make is not set EXACTLY the same to the tracks origainal tempo

Re: difficulty switching from turntables to cdjs

i was told its easier to lean on cdj's and switch to vinyl
than vise versa

Re: difficulty switching from turntables to cdjs

i really like my cdjs had them for about 3 months now, cue points i think are really cool, they help my pay much more attention to the next track rather then getting stuck on beat matching

Re: difficulty switching from turntables to cdjs

if i am reading this correctly, you like to catch up or slow down using the pitch slider on vinyl. usually, people do this because it can sound smoother than manually increasing the speed with your finger on the record.

well.. unless you are using your cdj in vinyl mode and only touching the top of the platter, this problem is gone.

using it in cdj mode or using only the side of the platter essentially do what you are asking for. spinning it one way increases the pitch my some set ammount.... and the other way decreases it. the faster you spin it, the more the change... you need to adjust to using the platter instead of the slider.

then again.. after not djing for a while.. maybe you are just out of practice

ya i understand how it works, i just dont like having to 'finger fuck' the record (or in this case the cd) to get a good mix. gonna have to get used to it, i suppose...

you could always buy some denons, as they have the pitch bend buttons which in my mind are way easier to use than that jog wheel. But just like anything else...after a while you do get used to it.

That's why I love my Denon's, and for the record I though he said 3500's... Yeah I said 3000's and I am mistaken, I also didn't like the 3000's only because I would snap the band connecting the platter and such...
