| im using a newmark cdmix2 cd mixer just to get started. im still learning and have been going at it for roughly a month. i started out using my computer (acid pro) which had a pitch meter that had a decimal point out to the thousanths. now my cdmix only has tenths. is it normal for most "real time" mixers to only go out to tenth spots or are there some that go further. the reason i ask is becuase i cant seem to beatmatch the songs perfectly to where i can play them simultaneously for a minute tops sometimes less. and if i push the beat another .1 up or down it throws it way off. any suggestions as to where i may be missing something? i have the first kick queued into the cd's cue and im finding the "ryme" or whatever you like to call it (4 beat section) and starting at that. any help is appreciated. |

| Sorry to tell you that you will have to constantly adjust the jog wheel. Some Pioneer cd players have .05% pitch increments but even those you will need to constantly adjust to keep the mix tight. |

Yes well said...as for .05 increments, that is plenty for fine tuning of adjustment. I rarely ever have to adjust my cdj 1000 while doing 1-2 min transitions. You just have to get better at your beat matching. |

| Yea, I'd say your beat matching skills need some work. I've been doing it for a year now and am still honing them. You ears probably also need to get trained a bit more. Nowadays I'm much more adept at hearing where the beats are lining up in a mix than I was a month after starting. |
