help deciding new setup
help deciding new setup Posted on: 05.06.2013 by Yoshiko Kremser Hi everyone - i'm looking to go a new direction and hoping for people experiences and set up ideascurrently i am running time code vinyls through my kontrol s4 to control traktor i am now looking to get a pair of cdjs and mixer to increase portability and flexibility (i.e use non traktor audio sources) given my love of the s4 i was believeing it may be good to give the z2 a go with a pair of cdjs - if i do so am i better off (with my limited budget) to get cdj-400's with the HID or to get some cdj-1000's (which i like the look and feel of better) and use timecode cds? or even not use the z2 and go for a djm? any help would be great thanks Tyson | |

| Alphonso Deitchman 06.06.2013 | Do you use timecode CDs? When you press Cue, is it as accurate as using the CDJ in standalone mode without software? |
| Emelina Chillson 05.06.2013 | What are your system specs Makar1? I havent had an issue with the cue button on CDJ's. Do you have autocue turned on? |
| Emelina Paglia 05.06.2013 | If you are planning on using USBs go with CDJ-400 because the CDJ-1000 does not support USBs. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 05.06.2013 | I would avoid using timecode with CDJs as the lag makes the Cue button unusable. Have you had a look at used CDJ 850s? They have proper Rekordbox integration (beats the basic USB input on the 400s) and can be used as MIDI controllers in Traktor too. |
| Emelina Chillson 05.06.2013 | would be a way better investment to get a djm. |
