CDJ loops you know how on the pioneer CDJ1000 you can loop sections and then sort of shorten the loop so it sounds like the beats are speeding up (kinda like a hardstyle fill). you can do it be touching the platter. im not sure what the funtion is called but hopefully u know what i mean. (u can do it to a certain extent on the CDJ800 by pushing the 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 buttons at the top left of the player) well my question i hope you can help me with is, can the denon dns5000 do the same or similar? :spangled:
Yeah you can do it on both decks (since i have both - lucky me!) You set your loop in and out points, then use each decks 'loop trim' function to set the OUT point progressively shorter (by turning the platter backwards slowly) and shorter, which gives you that 'hardstyle buildup' thing. It works the exact same way on either the dns5000 and the cdj1000 but using different buttons.
cheers bud. i thought it might just be a sort of pioneer signiture function. you are lucky to have both like, but what do u think is better. cdj 1000 or the dn-s5000????
No worries Said it before on a few threads.... The CDJ1000 is great cause its the industry standard, but.... its a bit boring. It took about 10 minutes to work out what all the buttons did and feel comfortable with it - .... Having said that, its just perfect at what it does. The DNS5000 is more complex and can do more, its nice knowing that theres a ton of stuff i havent even attempted to master yet on it (samplers, alpha track etc) so that little bit 'in reserve' makes it more interesting. I'd always say get a cdj1000 first though, and then choose a more interesting second deck like the denon IF your concerned about playing out... BUT if you have access to a cdj1000 for the occasional shot on, i wouldnt bother being paranoid about going for the pioneer.
