Had this for a while, i see it finally made its way to Youtube hah. I was very pleased with this video. I was expecting the usual...
"This is the play button, this is how you load a cd into the CDJ" type videos most guys make but this is very indepth. Pretty nice.

awesome
I was playing with the cd dj's at guitar center once and you can make interesting loops+effects+ other bs with it almost to the point that it sounds like something totally different than what it is.
Too bad i dont have the $$ for it.

I never understood saving cue points unless theres more to it than I think because it only takes me less than 5 seconds to cue.

U also save the hot cue's on the memory card, not just the cue points, plus it just makes it more easy and convenient nothing more.
I understand pretty much everything hes explaining, i have been playing with the same equipment for a year, except what does he mean by key, not sure if he means the key board notes of the baseline when he says F#, coz he says 8-9 BPM is half a note, and F# becomes G at that speed. So im assuming hes talking about the baseline notes, some one with more knowledge please shed some light here

Key as in key signature. It's part of music theory. It indicates the tone of the music. When you read music, there's flats (which is a halfstep/halfnote down in tone) and sharps (which is a halfstep/halfnote up in tone).
So, in a structure of notes from F to F, it's F, G, A, B, C, D, E then back to F.
Since F# (sharp) is a halfnote up, and 8-9 BPM is another half step, you get G which is the next note.

Okay, thanx. so how does the key affect mixing? When i mix, i beatmatch and sync perfect, my mix sounds good, i never had any ideas about "key" and how it affects music, sorry about my lack of theoretical music knowledge, im more curious and intrigued after watching this.

When you mix things on the same key or a key that compliments each other, the mix sounds much smoother. It's called harmonic mixing. The goal of a good long set, is to have the least amount of key clashes as possible and of course your response to the crowd. You want a smooth mix the whole night where it sounds like 1 track. If you have too many key clashes, the set sounds a bit disorganized as compared to a harmonically mixed one.
Personally i dont use the program, i feel its better to key everything by ear with a piano. However, its a good starting point, and have heard great things about Mixed in Key.
