Just to say the TASCAM CD302 looks like an awesome piece of kit with auto beat mixing if you want it among other incredible features all for about $750 with a little searching.

......aaahhhhh... you've got the best!! How does the 1000 cd player works? Has it the auto-matching beats feature (this feature is not so important but sometimes could be useful) ?? How much did you payed???
Cheers :roll:

it works the same way as vinyl... the only difference is that on vinyl you can see where you are and here you can't so you have to know the record completely..

Missy Elliot's DJ is using them on stage.. i think that's the first time i saw a dj on stage with a singer working with only cd's... too cool...

there's a video you can download about the pioneer1000...

i payed €800 for them together... Not from the shop though.. think they are a little more expensive...

Mixing with cd's is ALOT easier than mixing w/ turntables... When I'm playing records I have to concentrate so much on just getting the songs matched. W/ my cd players (2 brand new denon s5000's) I can play two tracks perfectly matched while sampling a 3rd/4th track and scratching it all up at the same time!!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my vinyl. But there is just so much more creative things you can do w/ cd's now.

Puma: Are we talking new records on CD or oldies from the '70s and '80s that had variations a plenty in their tempo?

[Leatherman]

When playing old stuff I don't think it should always be mixed. I prefer to just cut into the next song, if the tempos are quite far appart. I don't see any point pitching a record right up or down just to get in time with the previous song for a few bars.

For cutting type mixing, CD's are far more precise

Are you speaking from a 'DJ' point of view? How would you control a dancefloor "mixing" in this manner? Curious because the technique you describe would have been considered quite annoying by hardcore clubbers over here.

Quinny, I'm talking any kind of music, if I want to mix old disco records over newer house, no problem... Just burn the records onto a cd and you're all set. Of course you have to still pitch bend to get them to stay matched, but it is alot easier w/ cd's now that the technology has evolved. The platter on the cd player operates exactly like a technics. I can scratch or whatever...
