Moved from controller to cdjs but need advise! Posted on: 27.12.2013 by Wynell Muma So I've took the leap from djing on a controller with serato to cdjs, however I've got 1000s mk2 which don't have the usb function so I need to burn cdj. However I do like to know what bpms all my tunes are roughly so whats the best way of finding out the bpms of your tracks so I can make note? do programs like mixed in key do it?

Hipolito Scionti 28.12.2013	Either move back to controllers or learn to beat match by ear For real
Augustine Mitzen 27.12.2013	analyze the tunes in rekordbox/free version of VDJ and remember them or write them down, if you absolutely need to

Tera Baragan 27.12.2013	Originally Posted by Daniboy Rekorbox only works with CDJs that have USB-Ports like CDJ-350, CDJ-850, CDJ-900, CDJ-900NXS, CDJ-2000 and CDJ-2000NXS (does not work with CDJ-400). Rekordbox info can't be used through CDs. I find it very unikely that he didn't put a CD on a CDJ that just allows CDs. We need a rep system on this site. u get my internet for this one lol.
Vikki Falkenrath 27.12.2013	Originally Posted by AllDay Is recordbox not specifically for this situation? he said he just got the cdjs so i was assuming he hasn't even put in the cd yet to see if it shows the bpm.

Vikki Falkenrath 27.12.2013	Originally Posted by AllDay I understand ya. OP just probably didn't check and see if the bpm was there or not.. Cause the initial bpm will be there on any cdj. Actually I believe that the OP uses an organizing technique known by many DJs (who play with CDJs that only allow CDs as media) that is to have the BPM of each track writen somewhere on the CD or on some place related to the CD, so he can know the BPM of the tracks without having to insert the CD and play the tracks for a while waiting for the CDJ-1000 to give a BPM. Analogously, the same can be done with Key results from softwares like Mixed In Key. Originally Posted by MeetsMandy so I can make note?

Tera Baragan 27.12.2013	Originally Posted by Daniboy The OP obviously wants to know the BPM of the tracks before playing them, so I'm giving the options considering the precision of each one.

Vikki Falkenrath 27.12.2013	Originally Posted by AllDay Not sure what you are talking about lmao. Cdjs show the original bpm with cds. Did u even try this lol The OP obviously wants to know the BPM of the tracks before playing them, so I'm giving the options considering the precision of each one.

Tera Baragan 27.12.2013	Originally Posted by Daniboy Roughly, Mixed In Key will work fine. For better results, I don't know Serato, but Traktor will give you very precise values. For 100% precision you will need to use more complex softwares like Ableton. Not sure what you are talking about lmao. Cdjs show the original bpm with cds. Did u even try this lol

Hellen Mindrup 27.12.2013	Just set the pitch to the middle, 0, and it will be at the original BPM.
Brunilda Kora 27.12.2013	Yes.
