dj's using final scrach in clubs

what your take on dj's using final scrach in clubs.. I saw a dj opening up for Seb Fontaine last night he was using final scrach...

PVD uses it all the time, on Ausralian radio he said that it might take over vinyl soon.

yes i know it's done on vinyl but he means that you won't have to buy vinyl anymore, just use Final Scratch...

This would seriously bankrupt the market IMO.

A couple of weeks ago I saw PvD in Stockholm, he used final scrach.. sounds great, but feels a little weird to me.

i heard pvd use final scratch when i saw him at columbiahalle this year for the love from above..

i couldnt believe the quality of the sound... it blew me away!! id love to use it if i had the money.

Doesn't really bother me either way, as long as the mixing and the tunes are good

Posted by Biohazard on Oct-19-2003 12:44:

Kevin Saunderson, Chris Liebing, Michel de Hey and Richie Hawtin also use it

You do need to buy the vinyl to rip it

Watched 2 guys spin drum and bass on it last weekend.. Couldn't really notice much of a difference from vinyl/cd. I was talking to the one guy and he said that it can sometimes skip if there is any heavy scratching going on... They were running off a Mac.

How many peopel do you actually think would buy the vinyl after they get Final Scratch

and whats the point in having Final Scracth if your buying the vinyl??? it loses the whole purpose in the first place.

The purpose of Final Scratch is so you don't have to carry your whole vinyl collection with you everywhere you go, thus enabling DJs like PvD to a) bring more music with them and b) not have to worry about transporting hundreds of records. If you played mp3s you downloaded on FS it would sound awful, just as it would if you played them off a burned CD.

ok cool....yeh carrying alot of vinyl is too much IMO...make lighter vinyl

Posted by Floorfiller on Oct-19-2003 14:57:

thats interesting. personally i like the vinyl, but it would be nice to keep them in good shape hehehe. i'd definitely use it if the sound quality is the same...thats great...

Posted by teo on Oct-19-2003 15:59:

sounds gr8 (...for gr8 djs also...) any1 know a site for more info on this ?

Posted by chesco on Oct-19-2003 16:22:

the only time i've seen somebody use final scratch was the filterheadz and they were shite. don't get me wrong the tunes were good but they just stood, there wasn't an awful lot of action going on.

however people like richie hawtin are apparently really good with the final scratch shit and have good crowd interaction as well.

I feel it kind a take a way what makes the dj. is his records & his mixing. any one can download mp3 but try to find that track on vinyl.

Posted by j_spot on Oct-19-2003 16:52:

I think its great.
it makes originality a thing of the present.

How does being able to look through a record crate make you a good DJ??? If I have the same songs just on final scratch or cd, it is the ability of the dj.... not how much time I spent looking through a record crate. If you're using final scratch in public, you would still have to own all those songs on record or cd, so they would have done the same crate digging.

WHat OS's does it support? +Price?

Posted by Nadi on Oct-19-2003 18:49:

I don't care either way. If I was at a club I probably wouldnt even notice I would be there for the music not to see how a dj puts out his music.

Posted by pumavisor808 on Oct-19-2003 19:51:

Mac and Liniux... no windows support yet...

Posted by euphoric dream on Oct-19-2003 22:51:

Final scratch makes it a whole lot easier to bring alot more music to a club, i mean the club i play at now i bring a bag of records and because i cant drive yet i have to use public tranport leaving me with a sore back when i get home

and yer final scratch runs on its own stripped down distro of debian. i doubt they will bring out a version for windows cause windows wouldnt be able to handle it really and the system would be locking up all the time.

if anyone knows how i can port fs to a non stripped down version of debian or even just mandrake gimme a pm.

Posted by punchline on Oct-19-2003 23:52:

I was kind of avoiding final scratch because I'm a little wary of relying on a computer in a live setting. Too many things could go wrong. But if Richie Hawtin uses it, thats enough to sell it to me.

final scratch

PVD used a lot in Toronto when we saw him. It sounds great to me but its kind of strange... a dj without vinyl. I have never used it so maybe I would like it if I had. I still like vinyl (just my opinion)

do you even know how final scratch works coz it sure as hell looks like you don't have a clue.

Personally i don't have any problem with it at all. Infact I am well for it. Those who i've seen in various other threads claiming that the sound quality is worse are speaking out of their arse. In the last month i've seen Paul van Dyk 3 times, and the sound quality of every one of his sets has been identical to the DJ's who have played before and after him.

Some advantages:

1. Instead of searching through numerous crates for a record, you get to scroll down a playlist on you mac laptop. This is obviously 10x more convinient.

2. You don't need to lug around with you 100's of records and CDR's. Plus, you can bring more music with you than you normally would just incase.

3. The 2 template records are going to be perfect everytime. What i mean by this, is that you never again have to put up with a warped record. You get a perfect feel for the vinyl every time.

4. No wear and tear on your records. Especially your more precious and rare ones.

5. It's linux based. Those who would worry about it all going wrong on the night should fear not This isn't shitty windows were dealing with here, this is linux and it is the daddy of operating systems; stable as fuck

So what's not to like?
