if u get a CD player with loops make sure it is a seemless loop, otherwise it'll sounds like shit

There are little phrase-samplers out there especially for the DJ market, they are not really intended for music production, more for real time (re)mixing:
Boss SP202

Boss SP303

Prolly a bunch of other stuff too

the pioneer DJM600 will autosample 4,8,16,32,64 beat segments for you.. supposedly, I have never tried it.

has anyone else tried this feature? it's the thing that distinguishes the DJM500 from the DJM600, and if it works well and seamlessly, I might spend the extra $300 for the 600..

anyone here have the 600?

I've got the 600 and yes its that feature is the SHIT.

its really simple just tap the button and you just mix it in ...... pretty soon everyone notices that you dont have any records on the 1200s

Everyone's like WHOOAAAA

really? sweet..

I had heard from a friend of a friend that feature was not "the shit" but rather "shit"

he said that it is almost impossible to get a good sample, you have to get it lined up just perfectly for it to sound seamless, which is really tough to do, especially in a loud room..

from what your saying though, it does that automagically, and it sounds just like the record is still playing.. that would be awesome, for those mixes where you want the old track to keep playing for awhile, and it's about to end, or for songs with only a 16 beat intro, you could loop that forawhile before starting the track.

in your opinion is it worth it to get the DJM600 instead of the DJM500?

I think all it has is the auto beat sampling, and the wet dry mix knob for effects.. is that worth $300 do you think?

is the sound quality any better?

eh! DJ liquid, I have a few more questions for you.

Yes it does it automatically......it also lets you do it manually..but why?

Originally i choose the 600 over the 500 becuase of the Silver finish..... Yes i know that sounds stupid but thats the truth

Im very happy with the 600........so if you got the extra money why not get it.........besides.....if you can shell out $900 there's no reason to not go all out

sure ask away

Posted by RavingLunatic on Nov-16-2001 15:57:

LOL.. bought it for the sliver finish..

well, that was my questions basically, if the autobeat sampling worked well.

I think I will get one.
