CDJ-100S Owners

Ok I got a question.
A few months ago my CD player got hit by something that fell on it.
Anyway everything was fine by now
But I cant seem to match beats all of the sudden, I dont know what it is
Me or the CD player, is there a way to check if they are accurate
Has anything like this ever happend to you?

well , to check it , put the same tracks in the 2 players and put them @ the same speed than you know if they are still the same or not

the thing that dropped on your CDJ-100 may have altered or kind of stuffed up the accuracy of your pitch control.

One sure test though, is getting 2 EXACTLY the same tracks together and testing them at the same pitch % (preferably anything besides 0.0 as you will be testing the pitch). Then just play them together and adjust their beats to be aligned and if they go off-time you got a problem on your hands...

But CDJ-100's are very tough.. but if yours isnt in particular, just return for warranty and explain the prob.

BTW, what did u drop on it?

Cheers

Well depends how severe the pitch variations are (if there are any, that is).
If you're having trouble with your tracks being *very slightly* out of sync, it might be the CDJ, but not because of the damage - it can only adjust the pitch in 0.1% increments, so some tracks might be impossible to get to the exact same tempo.

Other than that, it's probably you ... CDJs don't break that easily.

Well
first of all thanks
I Tried putting 2 same tracks in the same pitch and all was fine.
They didnt drift or anything.
I Guess it was just one bad day

BTW The thing that dropped on it was the adapter to my mixer
But it was a long time ago and I have been mixing good ever since, like I said
Probobly just one bad day.
Skywarp: I'm fremilier with that problem, I just wish they had something in between like
0.35 or something.
