OK, this is something that has been bugging me for quite some time. I have never owned CDJ'S or turntables, but I am pure controllerists based mostly on the fact that when I got interested in this stuff the internet was flooded with digital dj gear so I decided thats the future,its more efficient and I went that route. I play at clubs now weekly and I'm the opener for an afterhours club which isn't so bad because I more often than not play from about 11:00- 1:30, which I don't mind cuz it allows me to have a good time and drink afterwards. In turn I rarely mix after another DJ.
But there is an issue thats bugging me which I am encountering more often. I use a VCI 100 SE therefore the pitch midi is not that precise. I need to know how you other controllerists mix in from another DJ's set. Is it even accurately possible to beatmatch from another DJ when I dont have 14 bit midi? I more often than not find myself just fading out the track or using endless tones to mix from another DJ's song in the booth. Which is kind of lame.
How would I mix in from another DJ efficiently? Would I need to edit some midi commands and make a work around to the pitch problem??? Would I just settle for the pitch being off a little bit?? Help me out??? ....I don't have much practise beatmaching because of traktors visuals and sync, but im pretty sure I can wrap my head around it pretty quick. Also, im not looking to practise on CDJ's as I know some of you are gonna tell me, I just want to be able to use my gear and mix out from another DJ. And if there is a solution to get accurate pitch, how could I practise beatmatching???
Thanks
