Fucks sake

So true. I know after I wrote my post I thought to myself, 'why the fuck am I even wasting my breath on this troll'.

THERE'S AT LEAST £1000 WORTH OF EQUIPMENT IN A PAIR OF 800'S AND I THINK NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET CLEAN MIXINGS WITH THEM IS WRONG FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY COST. ALSO ABLETON IS CHEATING.

Stop typing in caps, you sound like a prepubescent 12 year old.

didn't realise talking in caps meant anything eg. shouting. I don't spend all my time on forums.(my first thread and last thread).I also didn't realise there are so many f~~~ing arseholes on this forum all I wanted was to see if anyone else had this problem with 800's. Not loads of people bitching about mixing and the rest.

Originally posted by Storyteller doing well, thanks! Anyone heard about the new cdj800mk2s, they're the talk of the day!! I just got them and they are amazing, I can beatmatch so easily with them!! Also the platter has a better feel and it is almost just like the 1000!

Great! Good to hear. I purchased my 800 mk2 a while back, and now purchased an mk1 on ebay, so I have full freedom with my mixes...though I usually use vinyl.

I have a pair of cdj800mk 2's and I have had not one problem with beatmaching and mixing whilst fiddling with the eq controls and scratching as well. I am very picky as I am an audio freak and I'm very hard on myself when it comes to mixing as everything has to be "perfect". These players in my opinion f*cking rule! I recommend it!! This is coming from upgrading from cdj 100's to cdj-800's. Anyone has problems with theirs beside finnyarmstrong?

How can the hell can you compain about cdj800s?! Ive done neerly flawless beatmatching on belt driven Stanton t.50 turntables. Try mixing on turntables which dont stay the same speed for more then 5 seconds. Youre not a dj youre a fuckin cry baby. Tell your mommy to get you a new pair of cdjs.

There are known problems with the MK3's, but not with the MK2's.

If you have the MK3's you need to go to the pioneer wensite and DL the update for the OS.

I believe those are the cdj1000's you're talking about. We're discussing the cdj 800 mk II's here.

i'm a perfectionist, i seem to be able to pull off wicked long mixes with .1% with little correction (cdj-100 and worse)

i've used the 800mk2's, loved em

practice a bit more

it's not the gear, it's the user

you have 2 hands, use them

if i remember correctly, the mix in my sig was on cdj-100's

If you can't mix on .1 resolution you just flat out can't mix. Spend more time practicing. Until then STFU bitch!

this has turned into a huge pissing contest

Somebody close this thread already.

damn boy all I can say is you're lucky you didn't learn on technics because as a perfectionist you'd be forced to ride the pitch which in essence would mean you'd have to keep a hand on the pitch fader at all times try to EQ doing that junior

This is why I need an extra pair of hands: ptich ride BOTH tables and EQ BOTH tracks.
Which is what I do. It sucks ass, and the fact that I bought used tables, that drift starts to become a problem when your trying to maintain 2-4 minute mixes. Add to that, a shitty mixer, improper monitoring conditions(speakers are on the same table as the rest of the gear...not enough open space between walls and speakers etc..), broken headphones, and it's not fun to mix anymore. It also becomes very discouraging to finish a mix that you started recording, and realize that your beats aren't perfectly locked. Which is why I actually post only 1 out of 50 or so mixes every now and then, because I'm not satisfied with how my equipment holds up(drifting, clipping, etc...). Now, it's gotten to the point where I have trouble spinning on new technics with minimal drift without warming up a little!

But I still do it, because it's the skill and technique(no pun intended) developed that matters, not the equipment. It is impossible to match beats 100.0% accurately, but it is 99.9% of the time. So keep practicing, fuck the haters, and be realistic: if you can't do it anywhere else on top of your CDJs, then you've got other issues to consider, like wasting time and money. No offense, but the truth is the truth.

Why would you ride the pitch on both decks?

That same question occured to me too!!

Not too long ago some one worked out the actual difference between using .1, .05 and .02 using maths.
I can't remember how he worked it out nor can I be bothered doing it myself but according to FACTUAL MATHEMATICS even with .05 it is possible to keep two tracks together without adjusting for a fair while.

Nobody stop him,
let him buy the 1000s, argue with Pio and then realise the amount time+money he has waisted.

I just wanted to post in here.

thats nice

moaning about 800's??? jeese. try mixing on some soundlab beltdrive tt's from 99. i remember getting tracks synced but having to completely redo the syncing after every re-cue!! cdj's are too easy to mix on with 0.1% let alone 0.05% definition...

i have 2 cdj-800mk2s...i say they're perfect...but the problem he's noticing here is probably with vinyl rips or songs whose bpms dont stay perfectly contant or seem to gradually fluctuate on and off...in those cases, if u are mixing 2 approximately 141+ bpm poor quality or vinyl rip songs together u will find that it is nearly impossible to keep the 2 tracks perfectly beatmatched for longer than around 30 seconds. this is where the .05 pitch becomes a problem...but then if you play those 2 tracks on a cdj1000 with .02 enabled, ull notice u can keep em together for at least a good 10 seconds longer...moral of the story: get better quality music to begin with, and if in general, for music of any quality, IF u want to keep the 2 tracks together for an average of 10-15 seconds longer (assuming uve beatmatched as perfectly as possible), then the cdj-1000s or even 200s will do u better than the 800s.

I've already pointed this out earlier and he says that uses Beatport and Audiojelly tunes only.
