cd decks...

[dj raw]

Ok... so i've got the 1210s/ vestax/ whatever else they throw at you in a club sorted... (well kinda! :D) but could someone enlighten me on how on earth you mix cds without clanging like mr clang from clang street, clangtown, somewhere in clangshire!

[rogue]

its a bit beyond me mate, i got confused by the lack of needle...

I know what you mean - some models aren't as quick as others....

Pitch bend buttons will never replace giving a rotating record [or shuttle wheel]...

learn to pitch mix

pushing / slowing the platter is for beginners!

Playa had a standard CD deck mixer in one and I used to have loads of fun on that !! Used to mix 2 dnb mix cd's together and end up with like 3/4 tunes in the mix.

just like anything, it takes a short while to get used to them

plus really you need some time at home as when you're out I wouldn't call that practise as much

I've only used CD decks a handful of times, I couldn't get used to them...To be honest I doubt i'll ever need one, unless i'm playing out my own tunes or mates tunes.

I'll always use decks, I'll take my own to the club if I have to...:D

I quite like them and was gutted I didn't by Playa's off him when he sold his double deck & mixer one for £100 which was a mere fraction of the original cost :[

I guess it'll just take a bit of time to get used to. methinks a purchase might be in order... anyone know costs off the top of their headz?

for the standard pioneer cdj100, there about 300 quid, there is places in london which sell them for about 2nifty, just shop around

[MIKEE HUSSLA]

maybe going direct rather than through a shop to the company as well

latts bought his pmc05/7 samaruia scratch mixer for 700 rather than the nice 900 it was going for in hard to find

The latest models CDJ 800 0r 1000, I can't remember which, will set you back 800 quid or so, the 500 is about 450-500 quid.

If ever I get one I know I'll just be buying the one, as a third/fourth deck...I love Vinyl too much...
