Clownstyle Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I made a journey to HTFR the other day which luckily is not too far from where i live. ANYWAAYS I went upstairs just to take a look around and i see someone playing with the technics cd deck....Saying he MUST have one. I normally like to keep my views to myself but i really couldnt help myself on this occasion. I just had to go up to him and say dont bother!!! I then took him over to the cdx and told him to get that instead. They linked it up for me in the shop even tho i had to use a shitty numark mixer the table was dope. There was a battle record (hee haw) burned to cd i was using....some faderless cuts and some drumming and i was surrounded by people wanting to see... Pfff I should charge them for advertising!!! The moral of the story is....Get a CDX!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djscrizzle Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 The instant I have 2000 USD, I'm getting two. I like the no needle to f-ckup or no going to Denver to get records. the 300 extra is going to get a TASCAM X-15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiqbaq Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 the record on this cdx is it like stuck on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownstyle Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 Its not "stuck on there" I would like it if they made a lighter record for the cdx. Like as light as hee haw breaks or superseal would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiqbaq Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 i meant is it removeable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownstyle Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 i meant is it removeable?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think its replaceable yes. I shouldnt thinkk you could put an ordinary record on there though....I think they are timecoded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I was reading about this on Skratchworx. The vinyl has three holes in it and three little prongs poke up from the CDX and stick in them. This is what controls the sound - the vinyl isn't time encoded. Someone on Skratchworx posted a pic of their own CDX and they had replaced the vinyl with a silver laser disc. It looked cool but I don't think you'd get much grip. As long as you put the holes in the right place you can use any record you want.

2ndhand Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 so long as the record is attached to the jog wheel you are ok you even attach a pair of cowhorns (massive bike handlebars) to it. now that would be next level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Okay so the CDX has a couple serious problems. First, Numark still hasn't managed to work out all of their motor/heatsink problems. One guy I saw at Guitar Center had brought his CDX in which he had bought, and the motor was completely absurd and the braking mechanism was broken. Whenever you would turn it on, it would start spinning faster and faster...up to about 400 rpm, and wouldn't brake at all. There was no adjustment that any of us could make to it to get it to act normal-- so it was sent back to the company. Also, the CDX that guitar center had on display was stuck in "chop" mode. The chop light wasn't lit, and even after resetting it and everything, there was nothing that could be done to get it out of chop mode. I don't think that it's a bad machine overall, but there are a couple strange querks that need to be worked out and we ought to be wary of.

Chee Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Yeah...I'd wait until they sort the motor out. Maybe get one next year or something. My TTX is one of those early models. And where is it now? Back at the Numark repair shop. For the second time. For the same problem - fucking dead motor. CDX & TTX - good ideas, poor execution. Shame, really.
