What Everyone Ought To Know About Pro DJ CD Players

By Nik Levesque

It does not matter if you are a professional DJ or you just want to get into the groove of mixing music on your spare time. Acquiring your very own pro DJ CD player should really help you get your creative juices flowing in all the right frequencies. Although there are some music mixing enthusiasts who still prefer the Old School routine of scratching tunes using turntables and vinyl records while injecting their own electronica jazz; more and more people are discovering the advantages of these pro DJ CD players. Some of these advantages include: portability, stored music capacity, ease of use, and even costs.

Portability is the number one reason why people are lining up to get their hands on this gizmo. Unlike conventional sound systems and turntables, you do not need to have boxes of vinyl records and CDs at your feet while doing your thing. You also do not have to lug around your turntable or other mixing paraphernalia as well. This gizmo is actually making it easier for mobile DJs to take in more gigs, without the usual hassle of physically moving (and potentially damaging) valuable equipments. Additionally, these players have enough memory capacity to record your entire vinyl record library and more. Since the pro DJ CD player usually plays CDs and MP3, you can switch from one music type to the other effortlessly.

When it comes to ease of you, the pro DJ CD players should be as simple as popping a disc in a CD player. Only this time, you should also have a responsive turntable at your disposal. There are no complicated switches here, or a step-by-step operational manual. You can literally start your own spin in less than a few minutes. And if you find this player on the hefty side of the bargain, you might consider the fact that you will eventually save money down the line. You can download music from the World Wide Web easily; and you do not have to worry about getting separate players for different music types. At the same time, you can upload your own mixes and sell them online. Since you now have the proper equipment, you can even go pro, if you haven't already. If you are thinking about seriously laying some hard-earned cash on this gizmo, here are some tips on how to find the best deal.

1. What music type can the gizmo accommodate? Regular music CDs are the norm, as well as MP3s. However, there are also some players who carry CDRW software too. If you need CDRW stored music for your music list, then try to scrutinize product specifications carefully. Not all players carry this capacity. Try to also see if you can play a succession of different music types without jarring or delaying. And a CD burning option would be a wonderful addition as well.

2. Does the gizmo allow you to scratch and spin music just like your vinyl turntable? Real time scratch capability is one of the most important features you need to consider. Some of the cheaper brands have 2 to 5 second delay, which is not really a great thing. Additionally, there are also some brands that may have turntable features but these do not feel or work like the ones you normally use. The higher end brands will have real time scratch capacity and feels like you are indeed spinning vinyl.
