CDJ, except for backspins ofcourse...

I just can not get used to scratching with CDJ-1000's. Cueing and stuff is just as easy using CDJ-mode, so I don't see any reason for me to use Vinyl-mode.

Is the Pioneer the only brand of cd turntables that features a vinyl mode? I was looking at the Denon's and a couple others and couldn't find the option on the model. I ask because I have only ever used Pioneer 800's and up and they both feature vinyl mode which is what I like to use.

Many of them do, but every manufacturer is different in terms of exactly how it works.

The upper range denons have it, although again it's a bit different (one notable difference is that the platter actually spins like a record, and you control it exactly the same as a record).

Numark also has a few...the CDX being one. It's the turntable looking thing that is actually a cd player...see below. Again, this is like the denon...manipulated exactly like vinyl.

Stanton has a couple of new cd players that are the closest to the pioneer that I know of...with a weird vinyl-like mode that doesn't have anything spinning but emulates vinyl with a touch sensitive platter. Here's a pic of that one:

That's all that I know of, although I haven't been in the market for a cd player for a while so there might be others, though i doubt it.

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot to mention the Technics. Again, has a spinning platter exactly like vinyl.

CDJ mode until I can figure out how to set cue points in the damn vinyl mode.

I don't own CDJs so I just learn as I go.

btw... halliwell rocks hard

Vinyl mode just because it's how I like to cue up my tracks.

Something about CDJ mode just feels "unnatural" to me for some reason.

cueing in vinyl mode is easy...you just hold the platter down at the point where you want to cue the song and hit the cue button...

I always cue the track from the first beat and release it from there when I am ready to mix in. There are exceptions for a few tracks but that is generally how I do it. Ya just gotta know the track that is playing live for when you wanna bring in track 2. But yeah, I love vinyl mode.

I started DJing years ago on 1210mk2's so when I moved across to 1000mk2 CDJ's I found it natually easy to mix on vinyl mode. Cue'ing tracks in vinyl mode on +6 felt easier for me so I carried on that way - plus I love the idea of being able to spin back tunes whilst mixing etc.

My mates use cdj +10 mode which is a pain when you're doing back to back sessions with them - when I asked why they dont use vinyl mode, they say that they started on CDJ mode.

I've noticed a few popular/famous dj's using cdj +10 mode - sometimes I think its a bit lazy as I think vinyl +6 is more harder to mix.. Am I being harsh on them by thinking like that? I donno.

Why make it harder to mix? If CDJ +10 is easier for them, that is the way to go. If Vinyl +6 is easier for you, that's also the way to go.

As long as the final result is what you wanted, why would it matter how you got to that result?
