yeah the thing is... i am buying alot more tracks in wav format now and i plan on using the cdj1000s back and forth for extended periods of time... i wouldn't mind it heating up but it does affect performance and i just cannot have that... the company i am dealing with is going to exchange it for me which i am quite pleased about

ok people i have a follow up for you all

heres what i finally clued into

i noticed that the only time the cdjs would freeze up were the points where the music would get very techy and glitchy like that really weird break in the trentemoller remix of "coincidance"

i somehow got into the habbit of turning on the "master tempo" feature and for those of you who do not know what that is, it is a feature that holds the pitch constant regardless of a change to the tempo to any extent

it finally clicked in my mind, that there could be the possibility that pioneer has not mastered this feature completely (which they haven't)

so i turned off that feature and the rest is history... no more problems, no more tracky, freezing

so really what was happening was at those points where there were such diverse and quick variations of the pitch in the original track... the cdj could not process it fast enough and therefore would freeze up for a split second here and there

its good to have my cdjs working great now

Hmm, I have NEVER heard anything like that with my CDJ-1000's, and I use master tempo almost all the time.

It does it on BOTH your CDJ's? Is it reproducible 100% of the time? Try and find a track that causes the problem 100% of the time on both your players, and then I'd contact Pioneer. Seems very odd to me.

My CDJ-1000's do get warm I'd say, but not "hot". My Denon DN-X1500, on the other hand, gets so hot on the bottom that you can literally burn yourself (I'm not kidding!).

Originally posted by Nou My 800 gets really hot, but not to the point where it affects performance... If I am not going to be using it for a couple of tracks I turn it off and let it cool down for a bit sometimes. But yea, everyone I know who has 1000's or 800's say they get fairly hot.

yeah it does it on both
i ordered them as wav files from beatport and they are burned to a cd and then sent to me... i thought maybe there was a defective burn so i ordered the mp3's right off the site (downloaded)

still had the same problem over and over again at the exact same parts of the tracks with heavy filtered sounds or glitchy techy parts of a couple house tracks by trentemoller and hatiras

for those of you who want to have a listen and a look at what is happening

download these quick video clips

be sure to look at the jog dial as it freezes up as well

and this happens ONLY when MT is on

I just read your thread on the pioneer dj forums. glad that you fixed the problem though but i still think thats wierd how the master tempo does that. BTW where did you get your 1000s from and for how much

lol

i can't say.... but they were purchased from a licensed dealer and they did say that it would be no problem to return them

these are brand new cdjs

and yeah it is weird but i believe it is just the current version of MT that is the issue
