AS you said it takes you 7 seconds to beatmatch ith a bpm counter. Usually it also takes you 7-10 seconds to beatmatch without one(if you practice...more than a little).
Also, people (I'm guessing) RARELY RELY ON bpm counters when playing live.
Lastly....spending a few minutes trying to beatmatch means you need to practice a lot more.
You didn't start spinning vinyl yesterday by any chance, have you? |
Haha, no, i mean i used to spin a lot more a couple years back but since i got into college my hobbys were put on hiatus so im really really rusty. Now that im graduating soon i want to get back into it. |

I am guessing they have spun for about about 834 days to get their beatmatching to around 8 secs each time. |

IMO you should never ever use a bpm counter, it only gets in the way of learning to beatmatch properly IMO.
is it possible to turn the bpm counter off in the cdj-200s?! because i've been thinking of buying those maybe, but i don't want to see the bpm all the time.

To tell you the truth if you can already mix fine without them then you won't pay much attention to them. |
