This is going to be my next DJ equipment purchase:
The Numark CDN-450. Comes with these nifty features:
• Anti-Shock™ skip protection
• Real-time scratch and seamless looping on both decks for CD and MP3
• Displays text for ID3 tags and folder names for easy navigation
• Multifunction jog/shuttle wheels for search, pitch bend, and scratching
• Auto-BPM detection with tap override and display
• ±4, 8, and 16% pitch control for beat matching
• Housed in an all-metal chassis for rugged, reliable performance
• Single, continuous, relay, and programmable playback
• Fader Start automatically starts playback on crossfader move (with compatible mixer)
I'll be able to scratch on CDs like vinyl. It will be mine...oh yes, it will be mine.  |
It's mine.
I bought it the weekend before last. Surprisingly enough Guitar Center in Tempe had a couple in stock. The item has been out of stock or on backorder everywhere else.
Now to go there this Friday to see if they'll honour the 15% off purchases $299 and up coupon that's good for this weekend only. We'll see.
Anyway, it's pretty cool. The scratch feature is not entirely like vinyl but close enough to get that feel/sound. Love the key-lock feature that allows you to play tracks at a slower or faster tempo but pitch isn't affected. You hear that feature in some of the sweepers for Renegade Retro.
It's come in handy for other projects I'm working on.
Oh, and I got the widescreen monitor for my PC for Christmas. Wifey went shopping on Black Friday and found a 21" widescreen on sale at Staples for $88.
Next upgrade to my equipment will be speakers...rockin' 2 pair of bookshelf right now; will eventually get some PA speakers.
