I have one question about this CDJ: It have bpm counter?

The sort answer is.....No.

I find it a good deck though, and I picked mine up for less than £80.
Bargain.

Hmm, what you think if i get 2 cdj-100s to start and get one bpm counter?

Don't bother with a BPM counter. learn to mix without one, they are never really totally accurate anyway, and you should train your ears so you can mix without a BPM counter.

Two cdj 100's will be fine for starting out - they may not be the most accurate because of the increments on their pitch being .1, but they will great to learn on and easy to use.

Oh yes but my afraid is to take to much time to "prepare" the music with correct bpm... maybe with some weaks of trainning...

if you never train, you'll never learn.

so stay away from bpm counters.


and cdj-100s' are good players, i still have mine (i started out with them about 4 or 5 years ago) although i'm thinking of upgrading soon.

BPM counters aren't always right either. You're better off learning it properly straight from the beginning.

not weeks, you need to be thinking in years

djing doesn't come to you overnight, you need to practice A LOT

and by a lot, i mean like 6-8 hours a day for the first 3 months a lot

I wouldn't say that is necessary for everyone. Some people pick up on things faster then others and some not.

As far as the cdj100 is concerned, it is a great cd player. I would get it if that is all you are looking to settle for.
