mixing from cdjs to live

Post by djwatson01 » Mon Jul 30, 2007 6:14 pm

s the easiest way to mix from cdjs to live, just starting live and adjusting the tempo on the cd or is there a way to synch live up with the pioneer djm 600 to make this way easier. thanks

if the cdj is reading 128 bpm. assign a knob to the pitch in live. i would make it go from 127.00 to 129.00 and you just gotta ride the pitch. james zabiela shows you how to do this right here, http://www.djsounds.com/category/dj_vj_ ... la/page/2/

click on the bpm in the upper left corner, then hit CTRL + M for midi. Then at the bottom you will see 2 value boxes. I think they read 60,00 on the left and 200.00 on the right. Set the left to 128.00 and the right to 130.00. And happy mixing mate.
