Denon SC2900 Stop Time and Hot Cue Demonstration BY the DJ Tutor

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to show you a few of the features now of the Denon SC2900 tabletop CD player. CD player as well as USB, it's also MIDI compatible and will work with quite a few PC programs out there, just so long as you map it correctly. Okay, in this video what we're going to look at is the stop time and the start time. Two dials directly above the pitch control, in between the pitch and the vinyl button. Press the vinyl button when it's highlighted in blue, that means it's enabled. The platter now will work exactly like a vinyl turntable. I'll give you a demo. Press the vinyl button again, you can see now that it's not highlighted with the blue LED. And now the platter now is...

A complete jog wheel. So the whole platter will work as a jog wheel, that will let the user speed up the track or slow the track down while you are moving the jog wheel. As soon as you take your fingers off the jog wheel, or stop moving it should I say, the track will go to the original speed where the pitch is set to. Very important. Okay, so I'm going to go back into vinyl mode, I'm going to turn the stop time now to 12 o'clock. I've set a hot cue. Then... there. Now let's have a listen and see what sort of great effect we can get using the hot cue and the stop time set at 12 o'clock, have a listen. It's a great way of adding another facet to your mix. The only point, very important point is you need to always make sure that when you hit the hot cue you are in time with the original track.

Even though the track itself is coming to a slow speed. Even though the track itself is coming to a slow stop. You need to make sure you hit the hot cue in time with the original BPM of the track, therefore you're keeping up the same BPM. That's the most important part of this demonstration. Alright? Hope that's been a help. Practice and enjoy. Once again we are using the Denon SC2900 tabletop CD player. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
