Okay, I will be the first to admit it. I've never done this before and I must say the response and sound quality is much better than before.

DJ ALLEYCAT210 12:10 AM - 29 September, 2012

Jim Kelly 6:20 AM - 29 September, 2012
Yep, I ALWAYS do that....super important if you want to have precise vinyl control in loud environments.
DJ Curtis4real 12:07 PM - 29 September, 2012
Yes Eduardo you should do it. I use Denon 3700, and it works as advertised.

I Have To Say My Recording Sounds 10x Better ... Thanks

This is really important, especially for scratching.
Do not skip this step if you want precision when moving your record!

@ DJ Curtis4Real - I tried to do the calibration last night at the club and I did not get any scopes on the setup screen. Any Ideas? I am using CDJ-900 players and not turntables. What could be wrong that was not detecting the input signal>]? Please advice.

Hi Eduardo Serrano,

You could not be seeing the scope because the signal is too hot, try adjusting the magnification.
Alternatively, i'd suggest you open a help thread on our forum and we can help you there.

After setting everything by this guide the control record's speed played at 0% - and tried on several different MKII Technics decks and also on MAC & PC as well - is still fluctuating between -0.2-0.3% and +0.2-0.3%
Ever-since the 2.0 update came out (long ago)..
Why is that?
With CDJs this problem doesn't occur.

I use the latest version of serato software.
DJSyncere 12:10 PM - 1 October, 2012
Will this help the signal when there's a lot of vibration traveling through the decks from the club speakers. Or do I need a more sturdier table, better needles, better cases?

Do I need To Calibration The Pioneer cdj 350
ankit 10:30 PM - 9 October, 2012
Hi.. I use Internal Mode for playing my music on scratch live. mapped with a midi. Do i need to calibrate ??
Dj Khris 6:19 PM - 17 October, 2012
im guessing this will give the best results to people who use vinyl.... i never knew outside noise affected it... thanks!
deejdave 5:42 PM - 28 October, 2012
@ Eduardo the reason you are not seeing this is because the Pioneer CDJ-900's are native controllers using midi signal. You do not have to calibrate and luckily for you will have more precise control than anyone who does have to. Same goes for ankit NO you do NOT have to calibrate. Same goes for willie.............. are we catching the variable here?
Eduardo Serrano 2:11 AM - 15 November, 2012
Thank you very much deejdave
