Question Pioneer CDJ-800 pitch precision

So the CDJ-100s are 0.1% @ +/-10%, CDJ-1000 are 0.02 @ +/- 6% but what's the CDJ-800's pitch precision like @ +/-10%? Anyone knows?

I have no idea...but does it really matter? Why isn't 0.1%-range enough?

Don't go with that bpm-marked CD's and then use the calculator to figure out what the differences are...I did that also when I started out...Although I have the CDJ-100s...what a semi-pro huh?

Go with the bmp-labelling, if that helps...a trick that many newbie dj's use is that +/- 1 bpm is aprox. +/- 0.7% on the pitch...

for example, if track A is 141.2 bpm, and track B is 139.4, then you need to pitch track B up aprox 1.4%, or vice versa...that is all you need to know...then you make those tiny corrections while you cue by listening carefully and using your ears, then when mixing, you can still make those microscopical changes to the pitch, if needed...

I also labeled all my CD's with the track's bpm's with a an accuracy of 0.1...Although, there is NO BPM-counter in the world, software or hardware, that is 100% accurate...So 0.1%, 0.05%, or even 0.0001%'s difference doesn't matter, because if you depend on stuff like that, it will only f*ck things up for you...trust me...

sooner or later you will be able to tell the difference either way, if a track is slower or faster...of course it will take a lot longer if you mark your records, but soon enough your ears gets so much trained that you will be able to tell the difference without having to label your CD's...

Good luck mate!
