CDJ2000's nexus has better feel and sound, will not regret. Good riddance m5g's.

They changed my genre style. My trademark sound is completely different on nexus than on puny m5g's. I don't use the jog wheel also ever. I'm always on point with they cue and play, I only use the pitch fader.

Mixing is 10x easier than regular vinyl and time code vinyl.

He will sell them. That's the going price for a pair of M5G's. Those are highly sought out after on the Serato boards. Too bad you can't post them there. However, ever since Pioneer announced the new DDJ SZ controller, 1200's prices dropped a bit. Like Rann said, I wouldn't sell them.

Try posting it on this FB group. I've sold a lot of stuff there. You'll probably get $1800-$2000 for the pair.

That's personal preference then. I "grew up" mixing on vinyl, and everything else (CDJ's/Controllers) are just a bad and non-tactile shadow version of mixing on Technics.

I don't just the jog either to pitch, only use the pitch slider - You do need it to scratch though obviously, and I sometimes preferred to have the CDJ in vinyl mode and drop the track in like that rather than pressing the cue.

I'd like to know though, how it "completely changed" your mixing. I promise you (and I'm not being mean) it's in your mind. With exception to some very minor things (like looping and cheesey pio CDJ FX which all available in any DVS) there's nothing I can't do on my Techs that you can do on the CDJ. It's all down to mindset and technique. Sure, you program in a bunch of cue points. Watch any DMC finals. They treat records like cue points.

I think what has made the difference for you is being able to see a % and BPM counter. Other than that there is no difference apart from your technique. I can drop a vinyl record more accurately that I can press the cue on my CDJ.

I can't help but feel it's a matter of training and technique. That's not a bad thing - I like your mixes and whatever works, works.

I liken it to Skiing vs Snowboard - snowboard you can get up and running really quickly and have a decent standard within a few days or weeks but all in all, it's a more basic pursuit. Skiing is far more difficult to even get decent at you could spend months skiing and still only be mediocre - it requires a lot of skill and technique. But when you're really good, you're really damn fucking good.

Even that, the 1200's have the % built in, it's just not as easy as an actual read out. That's what those little dots are.

You mean on the platter? True but they're only at set intervals like 2% etc. It's not like on a CDJ where you can see it's at +1.45%

That's where I think the difference is. It's easy to look at the % counter on CDJ's and adjust by "sight" and by that, I mean you're just looking at the % LCD. On TT's it's the exact opposite; you're looking at the slider and/or just feeling the amount you're pushing or pulling by. Anyone can count 0.05 difference on a % LCD. Subtle adjustments on a TT take practice and technique.

I do get though the issues with DVS. Maybe it wasn't set up that well but I found both serato and traktor to drift a fair bit. I don't feel they are as accurate as just plain vinyl.

I know you've used them both a lot - do you find that too?

It usually takes not more than months to learn to beatmatch flawlessly with vinyl in order to create one unique style of track selection and flow. That all changed with the nexus 2000. Everything became different with more tactile freedom for example have 2 tracks in sync without my hand far longer than i Have them in m5g's so i'm like shit what do i do now and the feeling right there gives me production ideas and so on.

It feels like the beats don't drift apart as fas they do on vinyl, prob cuz of wow and flutter.

I agree. They both drift a bit. That's why I rely on very high end technology to nudge two records on beat... My fingers! lol I'm guilty of tapping the platter on the side on both CDJ's and 1200's. To this day, I use the CDJ's on vinyl mode.

Do you use the Sync button?

I also love the CDJ 2000's because I noticed that they don't drift as much, plus they have tension control. Don't get me wrong, they still drift, but not nearly as much as other models or even 1200's. I mostly use Serato and occasionally Traktor, so I can't justify the expense of two new 2000's. But, I have thought about buying them refurbished from Pioneer. They go fro $1100 each. That's HUGE Savings! Same price as the CDJ 900 Nexus.

Nope no sync button dj here. I bet I'm more accurate than the sync is. I really don't know and i haven't tried it. I think it takes away all the fun from traditional djing.
