Whatever gets the job done, but I finished pitch adjustment with the pitch slider when I moved from 1210s to CDJs.

Pitch-benders anonymous (PBA)? Member we should have a support group.

Not necessarily... I make adjustments on my CDJ-1000's that you can't even hear... like 1/8 of a platter rotation at slow speed. Moving the pitch, you're more likely to over correct.

As for the original poster... the CDJ-1000 jog wheel feels about 1000x better than the DN-S1000. I used to own the DN-S1000, and just used the buttons.

I would agree with you if we were talking about Technics turntables.

it all depends. If you know the precise bpm's of both tracks and some basic math, with proper timing you can drop tracks (even without the cans) in on the first beat without even looking at the jog wheel. Its a question of preference of course.Know your tracks + know the gear = minimal adjustments in my experience. Then again we all have our own style of mixing and our own ways of doing things, so as long as the final product is good that it all that matters.

Or anything with a pitch fader that isn't so light as CD deck pitchfaders all tend to be.

The resistance of the technics fader is key. If I ever go CD I'll be installing a pitch fader similar to the 1200s.

I had similar thoughts at first when transitioning from vinyl to CD, but the jog wheel is really awesome, so all my thoughts of riding the pitch on CDJs immediately went out the window.

+1.

Besides scratching, why do you think they put all the grooves on the side of the 800/1000 wheels in the first place?

Because it looks really, really, really cool?

I use the platter for pitch bending as well. Works fine for me.
