I know nobody cares but I just realized i went on a kind of downgrade route with the CDJs
I first touched and learnt to play on 1000s
then, a few weeks after that i got to play on a festival using 400s.
That was quite a shock jumping on them, they just seemed to small, compared to the 1000s
i remember that i was getting my next tune ready in the headphones, about to pull up the channel fader, but as i was doing final correction with the Jogwheel i managed to knock the pitch fader all the way off, man was i pissed off... looking back that set was kinda iffy as a whole. i made a pretty good mix and was about to spin back the outgoing tune only to realize the CDJ wasn't in the vinyl mode few secs later... however i managed to pull a decent crowed given the hour i was playing.
Next, i was on holiday in france and there's this store - fnac, they sell electronics. They had a pair of 350s on display.. I took my CD wallet the next day and asked the guy if i could trythem out. He said sure, but only issue is i didn't have any speakers on the master, so i was just mixing and using the cue/master split knob to cue.
Imagine me in the electronics store, no music playing, just me with the headphones, pulling bassfaces, headnodding fadercutting and other stuff... must have been fun for the shoppers
Then i played on 1000s few more times, and next i got to play a gig on 200s. I was a bit afraid i'll be missing the vinyl mode, but it wasn't that much of an issue in the end, i played a good set, crowd was vibin, system was sick.
Last stop are the 100s me and my mate copped few weeks ago, they feel somehow nicer to use than 200s (weird), and the great thing is i finally get to practice at home. Before, only place i got to play at were the gigs.. And i'm getting used to the player in general, not just one kind of it.
Still, the 1000 felt a bit clumsy after practicing on 100s, but that went away quickly.
So yeah this is my little TLDR story, I just wanted to share
