That I am.
Quick fix: throw them away and never DJ with CDs again.

Are the Vestax decks those ones that have an optional enormous down to tiny pitch range? Quite a neat feature.

Or go completely digital
And DJ using MP3s!

I appreciate
the practical benefits of such behaviour, having lugged two 30kg boxes of vinyl around Europe on occasion. Even more so when you use this frankly brilliant piece of kit:

That is one excellent piece of gear.

I haven't tried that
I use Traktor, with an entry-level (or Tomy's My First) Hercules console, which does the job for me and the infrequent DJing I do. I tried playing with Ableton Live, but lost patience with it pretty quickly.

Ableton DJs can't engage properly with the crowd, from what I've seen.
Not that I get crowds at my shows any more.

'Angry mobs', yes...

I'm waiting to see what Stanton say, cd's aren't my choice but its handy to have the option
The pitch is + / - 12.5 which you can change by a further 50% I think with a knob, these ones, much prefer them to SL12's

I like the straight tone-arms on Vestax decks.
