i hopped onto cdj's without any knowledge and it took a minute but eventually i got mixing on them. obviously using the pitch is the same. the thing i could never figure out was how to change the cue point so i had to live with whatever it was cued at which was sometimes way wrong and a lot of time i resorted to using the turnie thing like turntable platters to find my cue and i didnt get all that good at the whole nudging thing. so i do suggest get someone to have a rundown with you how to set cues, how to load tracks (as i think they may be all different), and then from there its the same old same old.
