it is actually cutting off some freqs when just left on.
Lye_Form:
If i were you buy some cdj800s, i bought mine for £550 from a cash converters (uk version of a pawn shop), they are 90% the same as the 1000s which are the club standard (all the better ones are also pretty much 1000s with more bells and whistles).
Trust me - you do not want your laptop in a club. They cause so many problems (and technical problems are embarrassing in a club environment). Look shit, and a lot of people wont take you seriously.
I personally found using a controller it was very similar to using a CDJ, most UIs are pretty intuitive but you do everything manually on cdjs, cueing etc. You can set up cue points (w Rekkordbox) but really you dont need that shit for a mix, if you can learn to beatmatch well and get your track selection down - you will be ready for playing out (and will enjoy it).
don’t you mean 900s not 1000s? 900s are basically identical to 2000s and the sort, 1000s don’t even look remotely the same.
Sinnergy:
identical
No I mean 800 are similar to 1000s which are club industry norm.
900s and 2000s are In the main rooms of decent or newer clubs.
If you learn 800s or 1000s using 900s or 2000s is pretty much the same though still.

Key difference is the pitch increments. 800s only has 0.05% vs. the 1000s 0.02%
Though I was always a bit envious of the autoloop functionality they had built into the 800s that was omitted from the 1000 Mk3s.
Yeah unless your doing 10 minute blends that 0.03% accuracy won’t be makig much difference, and not noticable when it comes to beat matching going from one to the other.
I would get 1000s or better but on a budget nought wrong with the 800s.
I started on 200s and they were a fucking pain.

These were my first ones;
Utter dogshite, but I got on the CDJing train early (2000) and the options were limited. Did get me a mention in the How To DJ Properly book though
