Dj help,Using a duel cd turntable Citronic cd-1x

0:00 G'day folks, in this video we're going to be looking at the Citronic C

G'day folks, in this video we're going to be looking at the Citronic CD1X. A very cheap and cheerful CD player but it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's two units where my hand is which is the control unit and then underneath that the bass unit which basically where you put the CDs I suppose. Where my hand is now, you have this thing called a jog wheel. Now what that does, it's very, well in fact it's exactly the same to a DJ putting a record on a turntable and using the pitch, which of course is here, but then let's say all of a sudden they want to start touching the platter to slow it down or moving the record to speed it up. Well what the people who started making dual CD players thought, they thought well why don't we incorporate something on a CD player

1:15 ...clockwise and you will hear it, the speed increase

So the actual DJ can do that on the CD player, and that's what this guy here is for. It's known as the jog wheel. Now then, if we play the track, the track you're listening to is from Head Candy. It's Disco Candy Volume 3, and it's track 1 on CD1, First Choice, The Player. It's Moose T and Boris DeGloosh Classic 12-inch mix. Now if you listen here, what I'm going to do is I'm going to slowly move the jog wheel. ...clockwise and you will hear it, the speed increase. The actual faster I move that jog wheel, the more the speed will increase. Now that's exactly the same as a DJ putting their finger on the middle of the record and moving the record forward with the pitch being in the same place. If I do the opposite, the opposite will happen, it'll slow down. So if you think about it now, if you're in the mix...

1:54 You have what's known as a BPM tap

And you've got just about in the right place. What you can do is you can use this, if you listen, to fine tune your mix. Also, right next to the pitch control here, you have what's known as pitch bend, which does near enough exactly the same thing, minus and plus. So if you have a listen. And plus. Also on this unit, which I like, one of the reasons I bought it, which is quite handy, if you have it on just normal speed. You have what's known as a BPM tap. As I tap to the beat, it shows me the beats per minute, which on this one is roughly about 119-120 BPM. So here you go, it's a relatively inexpensive dual CD player. What we'll do hopefully soon with the next couple of videos is we'll do a few more mixes using this particular CD player and also incorporating using the jog wheel, the pitch bend and the tap.

BPM tap counter. Okay, speak to you soon. Bye-dee-bye.
