I agree! Depends on the player!

Pioneers jog is predictable and precise (at least the CDJ-400, 800 and 1000), 200's aren't bad but not quite as nice.

For Denon's, pitch bend! And there are a LOT of crappy decks out there with really bad jog wheels where the pitch bend buttons just work nicer.

I hate riding the pitch on CDJ's, I only do that on Turntables. CDJ pitch sliders are too loose and are super sensitive.

it's a more intuitive feel with the wheel

...and yes, i rhyme all the time

For that last second (small) adjustment I've always liked the pitch bend buttons, when available. Other then that, jog wheel all the way.

pitch bend is so convenient, takes me like 10seconds to beatmatch, then fine tune slightly after

I am. Like everyone else said though on Denons use the buttons and on Pioneers use the platter. But seriously ride that ****** until you only have to slightly touch the platter every now and again to keep your mix tight.

Pitch bend buttons and jog wheels were invented so you dont have to ride the pitch
