| i have been bedroom dj'in for about 4 months or so and ive gotten the hang of beatmatching. i use 2 technics turntables and i am thinking about gettin a cd deck as well... are there things that you can do with a cd deck that cant be dont with a turntable.. also im curious of how to make remixes using only vocals from one album and music on the other. i can turn down the bass and mid alittle to get more of a vocal sound but is there a way to cut the music out completely? or do you just mix the whole 2 songs together? |

Depends on the CDJ you end up getting but a few quick things you can only do on CDJ is stuff like:
Setting & storing loops
Setting & storing cue points (either on board memory where they can be recalled whenever you play that CD or store on memory card to take with you & use elsewhere)
Hot cue/loops means you can really mess about with the track & jump between them as you please
Quick return (instant return to your cue point as soon as you touch the platter, for scratching etc)
Greater pitch range (i think!) - CDJ800 has +/- 100%
Some CDJ's have FX built in
No, you won't be able to create an acapella from a full track by using CDJ's (or vinyl decks or software) |

| Another CDJ only thing I just thought of is Master Tempo. It works great on vocals as you can adjust the pitch quite considerably without turning the vocalist into a chipmunk :D |

| if your going to get cdjs get two. imade the mistake of just buying one and its really frustrating not being able to mix new tracks you downloaded into each other. |

| depending on how much you want to dish out id start with some cdj800mk2....and if you want to go all out (though its not necessary unless you NEED 3 hot cues) 1000mk3s are the industry standard for cds right now |
