| 01.08.2012 Burning CDs/DVD's | 13 | 11.12.2012 |
| Hi guys, quick question / advice needed. I presently DJ solely via DVS (TSP). However, I am trying to get a gig here or there, and that means that at a minimum I am going to need CD's with my music on it in the case of emergency, or in the reasonably good chance that the venue only has older… | ||
| 05.12.2012 Using mixer's fx send/return thru Traktor for fx? | 6 | 11.12.2012 |
| So.. I just bought a Vestax PMC 05 Pro IV mixer to use with Vinyl DVS and Traktor. The mixer has a nice fx loop section with selectable on/off and send/return levels. The fx loop send is post crossfader Think it would work to send to my Audio 6 and input on a thru channel and use FX then… | ||

| 01.11.2012 How do you achieve these build-ups? | 2 | 10.12.2012 |
| For a while I've been playing with a Pioneer DDJ-T1 and Traktor, but a few months ago I started with CDJ1000's and a DJM600 mixer as well as I find it important to be able to DJ on all major options. Beatmatching and timing is going better progressively, and playing two tracks that build up or drop… | ||

| Hi guys, Just about to pick up a Xone 42 after many weeks of drooling at the sight of the thing... Coming from an S4, this will be my first analogue mixer, so I have some questions about the implications of it 'only' having 2 phono lines. What does this effectively restrict me to? at the… | ||

| 29.11.2012 Technics tonearm issue. | 4 | 03.12.2012 |
| Hi guys, Having a problem with one of my 1210's... I'm pretty sure it's a tone-arm issue. Basically on records with large bass-lines / deep grooves, one of my Technics will produce an ugly muddy bass, as if the stylus isn't properly sitting in the groove. Both of my decks have IDENTICAL set-ups:… | ||

| 19.02.2012 CDJ Pitch Accuracy | 24 | 28.11.2012 |
| OK guys.. after a bit of help here. Have tested a few cheaper CDJs and have been finding that the pitch ONLY changes when the CDJ's on-'screen' %age value changes (e.g. from 0.1%>0.2%). To test, you need TSP & a timecode CD I ran a CDJ (with Traktor timecode CD loaded) into an Audio… | ||

| After recently selling my DJM700 i'm looking to upgrade. Besides the obvious reasons of the 900 having the classic Pioneer layout, Traktor Certified, the 2000 touch screen sucks and it hasn't had a firmware update in over a year is there any reason people prefer the DJM900? I'm really stuck… | ||

| 26.10.2012 Still worth getting 1210s? Is this still relevant? | 56 | 20.11.2012 |
| Sudden melodramatic dilemma alert... Looks like there are many Technics 1210's out there for decent prices, loads of older DJs are getting rid of them.
