Can you remove the BPM counters from any of these CD decks or are you forced to the treat the deck with a sticker? Cheers.

I find the bpm counters on them pretty accurate

Tape and a piece of paper should do the trick.

I only end up looking at it if I cant remember what the bpm of the track is. Sadly i have remembered now how much percent +/- i need to get the normal bpms like 140, 138,139 etc to others.

Use a square piece of black electrical tape... it is easy to remove, blocks out all the light and looks natural / not tacky

use it....to mix......

or just don't bother.. they're not that tempting to use.

So in theory you can just remember how much to pitch up or down your tempo to get to a certain bpm lol... no wonder why so many kids are getting good at this, give them two tt's and a mixer without bpm counters and they would be lost in trainwreck land
