djmikedr Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 Originally posted by mattyparsons:dude, how do you beatmatch a cd?It has to do with the type of player used.For example: compare a technics 1200 to a mickey mouse turntable. Its the same with CD players. You can buy a mickey TT for $30 vs a 1200 for $500. It basically has to do with certain features as instant start (because CD's dont actually start right away on non-dj models)and Pitch control, and "bend" (if i might add)[also anti skip]aside from that, I mix them the same way as records, actually I feel have more control with cd's.[This message has been edited by apotheosis (edited 02-13-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyparsons Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 so instead of manually altering the record you're bringing up, you just do it with knobs and shit?------------------hi, my name is deanna11 and i'm posting for matty because i stole his password like the spawn of satan that i am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
