mixing with cdj800mk2

has anyone got two of these and found out that some cds won't mix together properly (keeps going out) coz i have apparantly its because the pitch on them isn't fine enough how pissed was I very. Had to buy a cdj1000 which I get on Thursday and sell one of the cdj800's which I'm doing now on ebay
you'd think pioneer would have know about this or do they I don't know but the last month has been so annoying not been able to mix with cds properly.

Thanks for reading my rant I feel better now.

Whatever it is you're trying to say (I can't be certain), I think you're probably wrong, and it's more than likely a "brain to platter" connection problem, and not actually the CDJ's themselves.

lol brain to platter connection haha


ya i had no clue what u were trying to say either :/

I've mixed on the MK2's several times, absolutely no issues with them.

The pitch resolution may only be .05%, but there are countless jocks out there who play on decks with .1% and do just fine. If that's your only gripe, then the problem is in fact with the individual, and no the decks themselves.

You certainly don't "need" CDJ 1000's to mix flawlessly, one of the top jocks on here used CDJ 100's for almost every demo he put out

It still means that it's your issue, not the decks.

It's plenty easy to do 2-4+ minute mixes on CDJ 800's with exceptionally minor correcting.

I don't think wanting perfect mixes is an issue

Then what is your issue?

All it sounds like is that you're complaining that you can't mix well.


Posted by finnyarmstrong on Apr-02-2007 15:56:

all i'm trying to say is that you can't mix perfectly with two cdj800mk2's and that pioneer should tell you this.

This is why we get warning labels on hair dryers that say "do not use in shower."

What CDJ's can you just "mix perfectly" on?



PS: There are MANY people on TA who can indeed mix perfectly on CDJ 800's

try to learn to mix on old numark turnables and then you will think that CDJ800 are pretty easy to mix

you need to allow the wheel to ease up bro. When you buy new cdjs, the wheel is usually very stiff.

the problem seems to be with the person using them not pioneer

If I can mix perfectly on mismatched CD decks you should be fine with a pair of 800s. Actually more than fine.

Questionable.......

Actually, one of my 800 mk2 jogwheels is a little looser than the other, but it came like that. It happens. Not a big deal.


Posted by finnyarmstrong on Apr-02-2007 20:17:

well all I can say to that is get two of them and see for yourself if you look further into this forum you will see that other people are having the same problem.

Those people also probably don't know how to mix.

Fucks sake, do you really just expect a machine to do all the work for you?
