Unreal that mixer like, I'd have cytex on every window

With mad prices like that it's nee wonder people are buying MacBooks and controllers in their thousands.

Is it not more a case of them making a point by not allowing you to auto sync?

Surely the whole point of playing off decks is that you beat match yourself anyway

Not anymore it seems.

Personally i think if poeple don't learn to beat match they fail to learn about 16th and 32 bars and when to drop records yeah it means you can spend more time playing around with effects but Hard house dj's who are also ways on them really do my head in its just too much.

Most records/tracks in certain scenes are made at the same speed anyway so its not that hard to learn to get record pitch's matched and the process helps to get a better feel for music and how certain sound complament each other.

Still helps producers become dj's faster

Or djs that push the eqs past 12 oclock and hurt your ears. Plus dj's not getting that when you drop two bass lines in togeather it boost the over all volume and can redline.( i am gulity of that playing techno when i am getting carried away).

It is a learning curve when i started i did not have a clue about bars or mixing tracks in key stilll learning loads now after 14 years of record collecting mixing on technics on 8 years and took the leap onto cdj's last friday which i really enjoyed even though i made a few mistakes as i don't own them and only learn't how to use them though work over a few hours.

i too used cdjs on saturday night - easy man - especialy as the tunes where around same tempo

however , i got boarded easyly , just mixing , felt wierd not adjusting the record , no real buzz

medicine bar (used to be the purple onion) in boro has them

kin hell' you need about 4 hands to get away with using that to full effect.

Very nice on the eye as the pioneer gear always has.

However I think there are more value for money options out there as a couple of people have mentioned here already.

Seriously, what the fuck is that

Looks quality! but fuck that lol

You've got to remember that its not only a mixer but 'effectively' an EFX 1000 as well which would be 800 quid to buy separate - hence the hefty price tag. One of these is cheaper than buying a DJM800 and an EFX

You have just hit the nail on the head for me there

I still use CDJ's though i am desperate to get myself traktor with the vinyl controllers, as mixing soon becomes boring on cdj's and i find myself losing interest when i am just mixing in the house on them.

Should maybe start buying lottery tickets lol

I know it's more about function. but I think it looks tacky lol.

I'll be amazed if anyone who gets one uses anywhere near all the features, it's a great installation mixer for a club as it entertains alot of options/setups but I'd say for the vast majority of bedroom djs it's total overkill

it's like ableton/cdjs and alot of other new technology when it comes along it's what you do with it that matters, after making the switch to cdjs from vinyl about 18 months ago I've enjoyed when playing house music being able to cue up quicker and hence get tunes mixed together quicker thanks to the bpm counters giving a good ballpark to get the tempos matched and locked quickly so I can mix alot more and play 15-16 tunes in an hour rather than 12-14, not just using it as an easy mix feature so I'm only doing something about 30% of the time as that would get boring
