Re: [xl7] Beat matching

2003-01-13 by Matt Duffy

I have two Cdj 1000s and a Pioneer Djm 600 mixier and they all match beats
pretty well. the CDJ beatkeepers are pretty acurate with the digital feed.  I
really need to learn more about the xl7. I have mainly been just working on my
mixing. I play the Didgeridoo too it can lay some pretty dope drone and bass
lines.

learn more about the xl7.
