Nothing negative about it. I only see facts. I used to use CDJ’s, then moved onto serato. Now I am on my traktor kontrol s2. Convenience and versatility.

Rekord Box has a built in “mixed in key” but who wants to use that ?
Crapy CDJ 2000 NEXUS with only 3 cue points and poorly constructed plastic body. Not me !

“Mixed In Key” has saved me so much time getting my tunes to harmonicly mix. For years i was grouping my vinyl records in key using my ears… i.e find 2 records that are in key, then find a 3rd record that mixes with record 2 , you should find it also mixes with the 1st record. But playing a whole set in one key leaves the crowed static even though your mixes are all in key and in time ! How many dj’s start there set playing there best tunes in the key of … Guess what ??? yep .. 1A right through to 12A. Don’t get me wrong, Mixed In Key is a great tool but try to keep some spontaneity in your mixes. For example …. Wait for the tune you’re playing to get to the last 8 / 4 bars, Hopefully the melody has stopped by now and just the beats remain. Then simply set a 1 or 2 bar loop… you’re now free to mix what ever you like to the looped beat on deck A (if you can’t wait for deck A to get to the end where its just beats, set a cue point and jump to that section when ever you like ! Remember its beat gridded digital files NOT linear vinyl !
