master tempo on cdjs

im wondering who uses their cdjs with this feature on at all times?

i always have it on lately since i started harmonically mixing. noticed that the kicks dissapear once a while at high or low tempo rates.

As long as you use it within +/- 6% it should be fine.

I use it all the time, is great, when you adjust the platter it makes no change in pitch at all.

I remember asking myself the same thing, i always worked with the MT on and i can't see any reasonable argument to keep it off..

I leave it off all the time

sounds shit- can hear the change in the sound as soon as you switch it on. It also comes out less bassy with the MT on

Pioneer CDJs have gotten better with the Master Tempo. I mean the CDJ-300s MT can't compare to the 100s, 800, 1000MK2 etc etc. However, I leave the MT off at all times, because sometimes I spin tracks @ + 8.0, and I want to feel the fast paste.

My exact feelings.

I never use it. Don't have a real reason to.

I use it when I need to, i.e. to mix harmonically compatible tunes at moderately different tempos.

I haven't used mine yet.. You loose some of the energy you would usually get out of the highs or any vocals you may have when you are pitched above 0. I spin Psytrance and I find the the energy level is significantly less when MT is on. Only good thing about it is that you can't hear when you correct pitch.. But I try to get my mixes nailed so there is little to no corrections needed.

I usually leave it on, but I can't tell the difference from when I have it on and when i dONT

I dunno, i just pressed the button one day and it lit up, so I kept it on.

yea i didnt know the purpose as well til i adjusted the tempo and pressed the button. i think its a great feature if you are mixing harmonically. i use rapid evolution so i have every song in the database with its key note info. if it wasnt for the master tempo the adjustments in harmonies would be too much.

and from my experience, approx +5/-5 without the MT feature on changes the songs note. so its great to have the master tempo on when youre in the +5/-5 range so keys sound identical.

i have the 800's and not sure what it does exactly.....

do this and youll realize what it does.

play a song on +5 tempo and have the MT feature off and listen to the results. then turn on the MT feature and voila.

even the 100s have it. i rarely use mine as it makes the bass sound bad pretty soon IMO.
