i just mix at my pc in the VTT. i want to buy a CDJ, is that good for begginers?

sure, CDJ's are alright if you like to mix for fun and want to save money on just playing burned music or something. However, if you are serious are sound quality and want pitch accuracy, go for technics turntables.

The cdj1000's have a more accurate pitch control than the 100's do.. No idea how they compare to the pitch control on Tech 12's though. I guess since the Techs are an analog device, the pitch control would be analog as well which would ultimately afford more accuracy. But I've got no complaints with the accuracy of my cdj1000s. And yes, these are much easier for beginners to use

I think you should know that a CD has better quality then a Vinyl, after all
Its digitally recorded and mastered and you dont get noises and stuff.
as for pitch accuracy
I would have to agree with you.

Besides, even thr greatest DJs use CDJs, they are not for beginners, the Pioneer and Denon CD units are the optimal devices for DJs...
I Own a pair of CDJ-100S and I love them, I can mix great with them, as good as I can with vinyl.

I disagree with you on this one. OK so you don't get clicks and pops with a CD, but digitally recording the music loses a lot of the frequencies of the song. If you compare a song played from a vinyl directly with the same song from a CD, you will notice that the vinyl has a fuller, richer sound. Vinyl also sounds a *lot* better at high volumes than a CD.

any online store taht have cdj-100s ?

Psylence, i dont think the 1000s have more accurate pitch, in fact, the manual for the CDj100, 500, 1000 all have a 0.1% pitch accuracy. (i found that in each device manual yesterday). The 3000 model does have a little more accuracy though, supposedly by 0.05%, which is much better than 0.1%.

What i like about vinyl better is you can see the quiet parts of the record, and where exactly it ends.

The same song from a CD would be cleaner and crisper... thus the vinyl would sound *better* because it has more noise in it which typically people claim is better. For overall sound, digital will always be superior than something that is analog simply because it can be remastered and cleaned out of the noise that we're used to.

My friends
you must face the truth and the truth is that a CD has a better quality then a vinyl.
Vinyl is being Pressed
Cd is Digitally recorded, Digital source is much more accurate and sounds much better.
After all its the progress of our technology.

The 1000's have 0.02% precision at +/- 6% pitch range. Don't remember how precise it as at the other ranges.

And the eternal debate about cd vs vinyl. Half of the people say digital sounds better, the other half says the analog sounds better. Personally I like the vinyl sound most, but fce it, it's only when you listen very carefully on good sounding systems. 90% of the time when you spin out, nobody will be able to tell if the last tune you spun was on cd or vinyl.
I'm more of the idea that it's the result that counts. Do you actually think the crowd cares if you spin on vinyl, cd or even on mp3? Most people I know come for the music, not the media it's on (except some candyravers that come just to see someone doing nifty moves on TT's).

On the 1000's at +/-6%, its .02% precision, and at +/-10% its .05% precision.

I wouldn't have bothered with these if it was only .10! Thankfully someone pointed out this key advantage to the higher end cdj before I made my purchase.
And DJ Thy, I agree with you 100%!
