... to whole numbers, but they are more variable (i.e. 2.1%, 2.2%). They only go from -6 to +6% though, which can make it impossible to mix certain records together. After spinning for 3 months on these tables I can beatmatch pretty well. But, I find that when I DJ on technics tables, and especially lower end direct drive, its harder to get the beat just right.
