![]() Sure, it's not perfect on the 100s, but that's where a little help from the jog dial comes in. If speeds of tracks were like 141.250 and 143.850 it would make more sense to have greater pitch resolution. "in the long term we'll be all dead" (Keynes)īut then again most of the tracks produced nowadays are 140 bpm, 142, 144, 145 etc. I believe I'll go for the CDJ 100 for now and then. I would say at least 2-3 years of constant practice to become what my goal is. see my failures and perfect them at home.īut that takes practice, practice and a lot of experience. So I want to be able to perform, feel the crowd and learn with my own mistakes. But it should be hard to just practice and practice. So basically I'm about learning the very basic so I can use the knowledge to motivate myself and dive in head first on mastering the technique the best possible way. My goal is to mix well enough to play at small parties, enjoying myself and playing well enough so that the crowd won't miss a step on their dancing, and the non-pros won't tell I might have missed a kick. you can't say you're a DJ.īut I'm talking about the very beginning. No matter if he/she plays low-class psy or picks house or hip hop. ![]() Pitch/Beat matching is a basic need for ANY DJ. ![]() In about 4 hours I couldn't match beats properly (after opening both channels and letting them play together for a few seconds they start to overlap.). You must consider that I can sell them FAST and with PROFIT (at least 20% I'd say) in Brazil if I want to upgrade to other deck or simply buy the workaholic CDJ-100s. I sort of agree on that, but I just TRIED to match a few tracks on a pair of CDJ-800 my brother owns.įor a beginner with enough cash to buy any of them is the 100 extra-dollars on each deck actually worth it because of the MP3 feature (I'll be PRACTICING at home, few CDs, loads of tracks) and the pitch resolution? So you're saying the only good thing about the 200's is the pitch resolution. That being said I did sell my 100s and pick up 200s because I am making mixes at home, and 0.1% pitch resolution totally sucks. I don't think the 200 would last five seconds. I've seen a 100 that accidentally caught fire still in use at parties, melted knobs and everything. ![]() It may look pretty with those new blue lights but the 200 isn't the workhorse the 100 is. Everything feels cheap and plastic, especially the jog wheel. You can be trying to get 0.72 and always end up at 0.70 or 0.74 until you hold it down and really force it to be in the middle there. The pitch control is sticky in spots - a mark of low quality. the CDJ-200 is actually not as well made as the 100. Need I explain why it is worth the money? Who the hell cares about mp3s anyway? Ignore that feature, I do.Īny DJ worth hearing will surely recognize what good a greatly increased pitch resolution is. ![]()
