Keeping the groove with CD

FM Former Member
I've owned three different ADJ cd decks, and although I've gotten many years of good use out of them, although I've found that the ps1 and ps2 didn't stand up well to road use.

Gripes aside, I'd like to know which adj cd decks "keep the groove" the best. I am a consumate CD beatmixer and a practitioner of the long eq fade, but every mix drifts and makes it hard to keep things tight. I am jelous of my vinyl counterparts becuase the have so much control over tempo.

Is there an adj CD deck that will hold the groove perfect?

Zeal.. when it comes to mixing.. you'll always have to keep up with the mix. I don't experience the PS2's not keeping up with the groove. Though i don't know your style of mixing, but even with turntables you'll always have to keep up with the groove, and make sure it flows well.. if you don't then it's not called Mixing.

I've seen my vinyl brethren keep a groove and lock it tight. Employing such tricks as a slight offset to add emphasis to a beat.

I've found that you just can't do things like that with CD.

The problem i've having is that I can't get my cd decks to lock a beat for more than 10-20 seconds. Even when matched as close as possible, they are always off just a little. Every once in a a while I'll find a couple of tracks that match perfect, but very rarely.
