That's good to hear. My main concern isjust how intuitive it is to switch to CDJs. My fear is that I spent all this time learning to beat match using vinyl, and then I switch to CDJs and I trainwreck all the time, thus having wasted a few hundred on a piece of technology I can't effectively use. Of course I took an equal chance when I purchased my decks, because other than listening to tons of mix CDs, I never had any experience mixing. Now, six months later, I'm doing better than I ever imagined. I guess I should just save the money, buy a CDJ, try it, and STFU.


I started on vinyl and made the switch to CDJs because of $. I have to say mixing vinyl (to me atleast) is about 100 easier than mixing on my new CDJ-1000s. Vinyl just has that "instant response" and "complete" control. The features, effects and overall control far surpass vinyl but personally, vinyl just feels way easier. And about the CDJ-200, it's a solid little player - but when i used it i found it very limiting. If you're going to spend 300$ on something you might as well throw in 400 more and get atleast an 800 or 1000. Cheers, it'll be better in the long run

if you've learned on vinyl and still want that "feel," the newer pioneer decks are the way to go

obviously, the 1000's and 800's have a more realistic feel, but i like the feel of the dial on the 200 as a substitute

now, when i talk about feel, i'm saying it's like dragging your fingers lightly on the platter to slow it or pushing lightly to speed it up, the amount of force you'd use is similar

i'd first look to upgrade your TTs to tech 12's
learn to walk before you run

master your technique on vinyl then transfer your skills to cd, it'll make the switch easier and smoother

or you can disregard what i just said and buy a cdj-1000, add it to your exsisting setup, maybe sell your 2 TTs and buy one tech 12, it'll force you to learn on both, maybe make you better in the long run

thoughts?

i've only recently come to embrace the CD turntable concept in the past 4 months or so after 5 years on vinyl. I used to only spin a couple tracks on CD per night (4.5 solo at the club where I reside) but since about New Years Eve, I've been dropping quite a few tracks per week (8-10) due to having downloaded a number of tracks that I've ordered on vinyl that I just can't wait to arrive in order the play them.

I used to be real shaky on CD's at first (Denon 5000's and 3000's are really all I've ever used), but the past few months I've gotten used to the feel of matching on the Denon 3000 we have at the club, and I can almost match a CD as fast as vinyl now.
