ok people... I need your help here ASAP!!!
I've got this club gig coming up on tuesday, and the guy who's arranging this whole thing said that the club has a pair of Pioneer CDJ 500.....

now the thing is, I've only got to work with a pair of Pioneer CDJ 100s, and my double CD player I have at home......

now, I have to ask if there's any difference whatsoever between the CDJ 100s and the CDJ 500.......... ecxept the fact that the 500 has no effects, and you load the CD from the top instead of shoving it into a slot in the front.....

help? please?
thanx in advance

There wont be a great deal of difference at all!, ull be fine man!

Enjoy!

i rather get cdj-500 just because...cdj-100 looks odd and cheap. CDJ-500 looks somewhat professional....just my 02

My suggestion is that you go to pioneer's website (www.pioneerprodj.com) and look at the comparison sheets that they have. You can download the users manual on that site for both decks too. I have cdj-100s also, and my guess is that there isn't any major difference as far as operation goes. Top loading is about the biggest change. I think that the way you cue and stop/start and use the jog will be the same. I know the jog is a quite different on the cdj-1000, but that's another topic.

Here's what comes to mind.... the 500s are not as shock/vibration resistant as the 100s - not even close, so definitely keep that in mind. Also, if I remember correctly, the jog dial on the 100 is a bit 'lighter' than the 500, so there will be a bit of a difference when pitch bending. As stated earlier, the 500 lacks effects, but it does have looping....if you haven't played with seamless looping before, give it a shot...this is a really powerful tool.

Let us know how it goes...

I'm not getting pissed
I don't come in this forum alot, so I didn't know that there was another thread about this exact same topic.... if I knew, I just would have read that one.......
oh well..... what's done is done....... sorry if I caused ANY inconvinience whatsoever.....

LOL!!!! omg!!!!

I just spoke with the guy who's arranging the party.... I was gonna tell him that I can handle the 500 and even the 1000 (in CD player mode, not vinyl mode)... and what does he tell me?
that they will probably replace the CD players in both rooms in the club, with 100s!!!!!! lol!!!

now that's a relief!!!

Just to warn you, the CDJ-1000 is much much different than the 100 or 500. There are about a dozen or more new buttons, the jog wheel is totally different and the cueing mechanism is slightly different too. I would make sure that you have actually used one before I said that you could handle yourself on it!
