Yeah why is it a big deal that you can't scratch with this feature enabled? I have never used a CDJ, so I'm pretty clueless.

It's SUPPOSED to be perfect, considering what you have to pay for them!

for £700+ id expect those cd decks to have a built in microwave and beer can holder so i could chow down whilst spinning. turn it upside down and voila - a toilet for those situations where you just cant leave the stage area. anything less and i aint handing over the cash. its just rubbish if you cant take a dump in it.

Actually, the Pioneer CDJ1000MK2s are usually the most expensive from what I've seen... he probably was just going off someone else's advice who didn't know what they were talking about either

you scratch mostly in hip hop, and hip hop songs can have a wide range of BPM speed. you may want to beatmatch the songs but they are way different, say 95 bpm vs 102 bpm. so your vocals don't sound like a chipmunk at +4.5, you pitch lock it and the crowd cant tell you increased the speed. but with the technics the dj cant scratch on that track now. when you pay ~1000 USD on a piece of equipment, it should work. the technics do not.

I had my share of stupid ass salesman story. This took place in 2002.
I wanted to buy a new mixer. This sales employee came up to me and reconmanded me buying the Numark DM3001 for 200. Now he was a pushy salesman, he was very fast talker, and mean at some point. Now here is the catch of the story. I asked him how much of discount can I get with the DM3001. He said, "I can get it down by 180 USD." I was cool with it. At the final moment, he caculated the final price. It was 208 USD. Now I live in Maryland, the state tax is 0.05 percent. The final price was suppost to be 195.3. This cocksucker earn a extra 13 dollars on top of his 5 percents share.

Fuck you salesman!!

Just curious, how has that mixer been treating you?
