Beatmatching goes out of sync everytime

Well 1200's (except the M5G) use analog pitch sliders, so there's no real "increment". But there are a lot of things that affect the pitch... the platter wow/flutter, the needles, the records, etc.

With a CDJ, since it's all digital, there is no waver whatsover. I calculated it out once, if you get a track to within +/- .02% of the speed of the other record, it won't drift for several minutes.

The other thing with a CDJ-1000 is that even if it does drift (which it will, we aren't perfect), you can grab the platter and reliably correct the mix. Make a little pitch adjustment, etc.

With 1200's, obviously you can touch the record or spin the spindle, but it's easier to overcorrect.

no dj can correct 0.02% acurate

That was kinda my point... anything under .05% and you're good. Don't worry 'bout it :)

Yup. I rented a pair of CDJ 800's (rent to buy, technically) and the first thing I did was put some tape over the BPM counter.

You can just turn it off lol.
