My opinion: the best way to learn beatmatching is on vinyl? Do you guys agree?
Vinyl to CDJ/controller = small step (people spinning on vinyl can easily spin on controllers and cdjs)
CDJ/controller to vinyl = huge step (people spinning on cdjs or controllers are having a hard time when spinning on vinyl)
I think beatmatching on CDJ's is the best place to learn. It's easier to cue up and has a better learning curve IMO. I do think you should practice with TT's at one point though.
I think its best to learn on whatever cheap inexpensive tools you have available....
Vinyl's just fun and awesome. Everyone should have a go. :D
I'm all for practicing with whatever you have handy, but, THIS.Quote:

Also, needs a fourth choice for "This again?" ;)
i agree on the basis that its easy to see whats going on to an extent
Easier to see what's going on? What? You get less feedback than on CDJs.
take a closer look at your vinyl records.Quote:

Beatmatching, manually matching the tempos of two different tracks, is the same regardless of what medium you're using. There's no way that beatmatching on a turntable is "better" than doing it with a CDJ or vice versa, that's more of a "what i prefer to use" topic. When it comes to beatmatching, it's your ear that's doing the work.
