-- vinyls are lame.......
Pages (6): « 1 2 3 4 5 [6]

this subject as been damned to hell so many times but just so everyone can see. especially all the "noobier" people

Vinyl vs CD

i know its 8 pgs long but check out the latter pages and there are some long posts. oh, and vinyls are better. i just bought my first vinyls and i think using CDs is kinda weak. oh and if you use a laptop for everything, you should be shot

I rather see a deejay spinning vinyls myself but most deejays use both these days. Dave Clarke always seems to be on a different wavelength than the rest of the world anyway. Sasha will try anything, he's Sasha, people will see him because he is Sasha. I can understand losing the vinyl cases is a pain. I like CDs more than Vinyl these days because I don't deejay and they take up less space but I have a decent collection of vinyl and I see the addiction with them. I say if the right song is played in the club, if it is on vinyl or CD, does it matter?. The big deejays are like that because they play the tracks that everyone does not have yet wants to hear and they have the deck skills. Vinyl won't die anytime soon I reckon, it's an addiction for many.

Okay lets bring something up that most people haven't. Vinyl was first, the sound quality was good and the average person still wasn't satisfied so they brought in the eight track tapes, then the cassette tapes (sure no one dj'd with them but that is not the point!) and finally cd's. So what is the point? Technology will always be improving, it's how companies make more money. There will be, in the future, something better than a CD or a mini disk or even a computer chip. I think Vinyl will be around forever though. It's survived this long when nothing else has and the sound is still great. As long as there is a market for Vinyl they will be there.

Also, there is simply no point in a discussion over what is better. People should just let things be as they are. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Personally, I like them both.

Re: vinyls are lame.......

you're lame.

comparing the vinyl that is produced today to the vinyl in the 70's and 80's is futile, the manufacturing process is alot different as is the design of the cart's for the decks. sound quality alone its prooven that vinyl is better since it does not rely on a sampling rate. i htink the debate now is over personal preffernce which is fine.

First of all, tapes, eight tracks and cd's do not have better sound quality than vinyl, they are just smaller and easier to transport. Secondly, any asshole can go and download a song. There is something to having a rare track on record that adds validity. And if one downloads the tracks and burns them to cd, you are changing mediums and, more than likely, losing sound quality there too. I haven't used the cd mixers much, but I know most of the pioneers don't have the torque of a turntable. It is a completely different feel. But, mostly, I don't wanna spin just cd's cause I think it's sorry. It is the cheap and easy way out. If you wanna spin cd's go ahead, I won't blame you. Myself, on the other hand, might use a cd track here and there, when it isn't released, and that's gonna be it.

"Radio 1 colleague Tim Westwood is remaining faithful to vinyl, however: �There�s nothing like walking into a club with four big creates of records. That�s a strong look.�


lmfao what a cock, he really does need to die.



anyway i prefer mixing with CD, its easier to move about and i feel it nicer to mix with.
