I've heard a saying the harder it is the easier it is.

Originally posted by finnyarmstrong has anyone got two of these and found out that some cds won't mix together properly (keeps going out) coz i have apparantly its because the pitch on them isn't fine enough how pissed was I very. Had to buy a cdj1000 which I get on Thursday and sell one of the cdj800's which I'm doing now on ebay you'd think pioneer would have know about this or do they I don't know but the last month has been so annoying not been able to mix with cds properly. Thanks for reading my rant I feel better now.

If you're having trouble with the pioneers. Contact them, get a new pair and try them out. If the problem persists than you should check on your djing. (E.G - check your cue and so forth, don't touch the wheel too much, etc). I'm no Jeff Mills so don't take it for granted, just make sure to contact the suppliers before you post something like that in here...

I certainly hope this to be true. I've been mixing on Numark TT1625s for just over a year now, and I've finally gotten pretty damned good at locking my beats. Now if I can ever free up the funds for CDJs, I will test this assertion. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Ok you can try this.

Cue your track, check the time e.g::

09:07: 06 02 (press pause on cdj).

delicately move the jog wheel in a anti-clockwise direction -

the time cue should be going backwards. If the seconds are skipping or moving forward, it could be the jog-wheel.

Try moving your cue forward.

hope this helps.

thanks for not being arsey

I know its the cdj's as i spent ages trying to mix two of my songs that wouldn't go together. It gets to a point where moving the pitch just one notch 0.05 +/- makes it to fast or to slow hence having to touch the platter to keep it in but why pay all that money (£1000) to have to do that!

If you're not happy with your product contact Pioneer.

selling one of them and getting cdj1000 on thursday the pitch on them is finer so should solve the problem as I will be able to move
the pitch on the 1000 if the 800 is being a bitch.

thanks for the advice just tried but the jog wheels are fine

how do u get ur music

have to agree with the majority of this thread. the problem lies with the user not the product. i use 800 mk2s and i do 1 minute mixes and never have to adjust the platter. if i do its a simple touch every now and again. also djing is about multi tasking if you cant control your beats and eq at the same time your in the wrong business. many djs do these do plus loop and record edits at the same time. if you want the machines to do it for you get ableton and auto beat match.

+1. You don't even have to be a decent DJ to realize that sometimes you need to adjust EQs while moving the platter.
