Stanton C.314

Anyone read up on this? It's almost exactly like the C.304 but with more features such as mp3 support etc. Has anyone used these CD Decks? If so what do you think of them? I have 2 CDJ-1000's and im looking for a good 3rd device but im not gonna throw in another 1000 bucks for another CDJ, thanks.

Sucks, no .02. Only .10

Get a 800mk1 or a 200.

thats a crap reason why i sucks
why do some people make such a big fuss about pitch increments u should be able to mix on anything thats 0.1% or better

As I already have 2 cdj-1000s, im probably going to go ahead and try one of these just as a 3rd device, seeing as to how they have on board effects, internal memory and basically exactly everything the cdj-1000 has to offer (not to mention the $399 usd price) I think it's worth a shot...

I say go for it.
People who say: "don't buy it it has 0.1 pitch resolution" are just dumb. Ofcourse 0.02/0.05 is better but I mix with TT's and have no problems at all. Just because it says stanton and not pioneer it must suck.
Besides I agree with you not to spend another 1000 bucks just for a 3CDJ. You'd better just buy something cheaper with effects and such. The Numark axis 9 is in the same boat like the stanton so it may be an option too.

Yeah man, id go with it.

I have .10 decks. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just a pain in the ass. You have to keep your finger on the pitch bend button because the sync starts to fade away. .10 decks suck now especially when you can get a .02 deck cheaper.

I think these are going to be my first cd decks when they come out. I've just saved up enough money. I can't wait untill their released.

They are available at GC. Im just about to order one hehe

oops

I checked at GC and they don't ship until 7/31. So I will wait to play with one here in town at our local GC before ordering one.

I owned a c304 and didn't really like it. Platter would loose the the sample i was scratching and scratching/backspins sound horrible. other than that everything else worked really well (way better than the cdj-100s).

Posted by T-Soma on Jul-18-2006 03:59:

0.1 Would suck because you have to constantly re-adjust. Maybe it does keep you on your toes as a DJ but would you rather concentrait on stuff besids beatmatching?

Edit: Fixed Typo

I havnt found a site (even on stantons own site) that says the new C.314 has .1 pitch bend.

Other than the pitch bend does anyone have anything that would make my cdj-1000's better than these? I havn't found one but I guess I'll see when the 31st comes around.

Posted by skip on Jul-18-2006 09:57:

it certainly looks like crap/cheap. dunno how it performs then but i wouldn't expect much.

Posted by spdandpwr on Jul-18-2006 13:57:

don't know if you read my previous post but in any event this cd unit is awful for scratching. also it has a cd tray which under fast movement in the dj booth can be run into or even damaged... btw the display isn't the greatest either...ie hard to read

Posted by xenoaxe on Jul-18-2006 17:26:

THanks for the input...

But this thing doesnt release till the 31st of this month

Posted by spdandpwr on Jul-18-2006 18:41:
