Originally posted by DJ Mikey Mike I think Armin played about 10 CDR's in his last set and the rest was all vinyl. So when you come to record your first set, you must also use exactly 10 CDR's, and no more. I don't think Armin is using Final Scratch though, so you should probably steer away from that until he starts using it too.

i'm sorry but you make me f-ing sick. the first mixing i did was on a portable cd player and my parents 30 year old turntable with a knob pitch control. yes i could only do one transition at a time. does that make me a proper dj?

o.k. don't cry its only an opinion, a dj is called a "disc jockey" if you use cd decks you're not jockeying the record like you are with vinyl. Also you can't get better sound quality than vinyl, so therefore its the best. imo.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have here the single most stupid post in the history of the internet.

Wow. Just.... wow.

The level of idiocy permeating this thread has reached record highs.

I don't know about that. There's been a fucking LOT of stupid on the World Wide Wank.


PS: I first learned to DJ on two tape decks. Seriously!

CD vs Vinyl is an question that can not be answered by God himself...

anyways if you're serious about it why not try both? Infact try digital as well and see which ones work for you. Hell you can mix them all at the same time.

I would like to thank the parties involved in this thread for making my first visit to TA music section in a few weeks a worthwhile one. lol. By the way I would also like to add that even if you use vinyl you're not a REAL disc jockey.. because you don't ride the record around like a horse jockey does. Bunch of fucking fakers.

To point out the obvious though:

EDM tracks are delivered as digital files to the manufacturer. So if you take that bit of breaking news you can realize the closest you are going to get to an exact replica is a digital wav file. Records at their very best are as close to a perfect copy of that digital file as a vinyl press allows.. but obviously not every record put out is a perfect pressing.

You will limit yourself with this attitude. So many of the new tunes are released on promo CD to DJ's for the simple reason that the producer can knock out 100 promo CD's for around �20. 100 promo vinyls are around �350.


Get yourself a mixer with more than 3 channels and an SD card input (or equivalent) then you can upgrade from two vinyl decks, add some CD decks and mix off the SD card. Such a set up will allow you to mix from any format.

As for being a 'proper DJ'. I have no idea how to define that but it definately isn't someone who limits themself to one format of recorded media I.E. Vinyl only.

Ooops I didn't spot this before my first reply!

You think vinyl is the highest sound quality available?

Why then in the early 80's were CD's such a success and a technological improvement? It wasn't to do with size...........

Vinyl became the DJ's tool of choice because the pitch was easily manipulated allowing the pioneers to develop beat matching.

Now with modern technology pitch manipulation can be achieved across a range of digital media.

Do some research, get your set up right. Good luck.

Not only that, it is laughable

Only thing Vinyl boasts that cd dosnt is that it has a warm tone to it.

And good to melt down to make ashtrays out of.





(Not that i smoke)

The only thing good about Vinyls is that when you mixing it you feel like you're taking up part of craft that's been omipresent since the 1960s. Other than that, well you're just mixing vinyl. Vinyl is expensive and difficult to transport, but what ever.

1. What does 'CD' stand for again?
2. You have obviously never used a CD deck.

Yeh and im still a vinyl addict, must have over 700 of them, and i still mix vinyl only
But im incorporating cds into my mixes, cos ive got some cdjs, but i will be using both formats. So im not going to be ditching the vinyl cos i love to mix with it.

Hair gel will make you a better dj... and teeth whiteners. Don't forget the Tiesto sneakers.. coz without them you'd be a barfoot faker... and we know thats just not on...

Also skills like getting blown while mixing are invaluable, if you want to be counted amongst the best in the world...

I don't think that while I'm mixing at all.

brilliant! absolutely golden!

lol.. that picture is mint!!
anyone responsible for ever thinking that an analogue manufactured copy of a digital file is a better copy than a digital copy of a digital file should give themselves a smack and think for a minute about what that's suggesting.
