vinyl records vs cds
what's better (DJwise that is....)?
best : vinyl
cheapest : cd
you could go into more details , pros and cons etc
but it really comes down to those two facts.
now it all depends how much you are willing to spend, on the equipment, and on the *media* ( cd or vinyl )
different factors, different choices
different people, different strokes.
to each his own.
for me Vinyls all the way even though it cost a hell lots of $$$$ but its more original (DJing started with Turntables anyways and I think thats how it should be). I want to feel what im mixing
WEll, with CD u can hold a lot songs and its more compact but still VINYL is the way to go (for me anyways).
sorry, but this topic has been beaten to death and flame wars have erupted
just do a search and you'll find the answers you seek
but basically, it does come down to personal preferance
you really can't compare though, it's like apples and oranges
vinyl are better, cds are cheaper and u cant spin in a club with illegal cds
I don't respect DJ's that play cds. Now,,, it's one thing if you're playing your own tracks and what not,,, and also if you just play one or two songs on cd. But when I see DJ's playing only cds it really pisses me off because of how much time,,, money and effort goes into finding rare vinyl.
there is no comparison, vinyl rules and cd's are cack. nuff said. theres many arguments both ways. and as for cd's being cheaper... i wouldn't say so. Initially the hardware is going to cost you a LOT compared to normal turntables. The new pioneer cdj series are like twice as much if not more than a decentish turntable.
then you've got the cd's to buy. if your buying singles on cd, its gonna cost like £3.99 - the same price as a commercially released vinyl. there is however a more vast array of releases, including white labels and the like. You can download white label rips off the net and burn them to cd, but your risking loss of quality, and also burning mp3 to cd and using it in a club is illegal is it not?
I am forever vinyl 
VINYL . END OF STORY !
Only immature children "have no respect" for people using cds. The skills required by either a vinyl dj or a cd dj are THE SAME. If it really makes you feel like the absolute shit because you have to search for months to find that *one* special record, then seriously.. be my guest fool 
I *like* my cdj1000's. I also like my Denon 151 turntable. But can anyone here really say that they'd rather listen to a mediocre vinyl jock over a kickass dj who used cds? The media does NOT equal talent kids. 
^^^ i'd rather listen to a shit dj playing vinyl than good dj playing cdrs... why? because of respect... respect for the producer that did all the work and put their heart and soul into developing all those kick ass tracks... don't you think they should be rewarded?
i think so...
i like to use both when i play
if there's a cdj there for the djs to use at a party, i'm going to use it
i think the best djs are the ones who can incorporate anything and everything into their sets
i'm actually going to start looking for a good effects unit and a nice sampler to make my sets that better
Thats part of the problem with cd DJs. They get to carried away with effects and sampeling, and get distracted from the mix. For me, the mix is the fun part. I have cd decks, and turntables. There is just nothing like the feel on vinyl under your fingers.

| Originally posted by Dj Flesch So how does your respect for the producer change when the same exact track is on a record versus a cd? They are rewarded when you BUY the cd or the record. You can go listen to all the shitty djs with shitty music all you want, that won't stop everyone else from listening to good music--whichever format. Your respect for that person won't matter at all when the club he spun at doesn't ask him to return because the crowd hated him. I'm so fucking sick of these threads that imply that because you use CDs that you have no talent and that the ONLY way CDDJs obtain their music is through piracy. No one ever offers a worth-while and objective piece of advice. I've tried many times before to explain why CD is a better MEDIUM for music than vinyl. You can search for them. One thread topic was named the future of vinyl. But please, please, stop these threads from continuing. They are all worthless and very few people actually learn anything from them. |
and this is why these threads should be stopped
because once again, it's turning into an argument
one is not better than the other
once again, it's like comparing apples to oranges
each has it's pros and cons
it's up to personal preference
let's just leave it at that
and as for the people starting these threads,
use that thing attached to your neck... your head
ultimately the decision to spin either cds or vinyl is up to you
no one can make that for you
research (i.e. use that search button people seem to ignore) and make a decision based on what you see
there is a whole internet out there, with loads of information
you can start with a good search engine and go from there
VINYL > * > cassette > 8-Track > CDs
FLAME FEST!!!

| Originally posted by TranceGeek first of all, did i say anything about talent? so don't give me shit until you learn to read... ugh! second of all, about respect... please don't sit there and tell me that you would pay for CDs you play on your CD decks... especially when CD singles are soooooooooooo hard to find... you would do the most logical sickenin thing and download mp3s and burn them onto CDr's and play them, wouldnt you? YES YOU WOULD... if you don't respect and reward the producer that developed the track for you to play, you should be shot... third of all, did you just say that CD's have better audio quality than vinyl? *holds back laughter* |
This topic has indeed been covered a lot of times, and I don't want to enter any flame wars, BUT, I want to say this:
A lot of people who prefer vinyl say that they enjoy "feeling" what they're spinning. And yet, whenever it comes to actual DJ-ing, it turns out that almost all of you think that DJ's should beatmatch by pitch only, without touching the vinyl. Then how is it different from mixing CD's? You're using buttons and controls, without touching anything...

| Originally posted by Dj Flesch You DID say something about talent when you said "i'd rather listen to a shit dj playing vinyl than good dj playing cdrs" You imply that that you would rather listen to a dj with no TALENT that spins vinyl than a dj WITH TALENT that spins CDs. And Yes, I AM telling you that I DO pay for CDs, and being hard to find? Maybe I'm not looking for the same music that you are. Maybe I have better ability to find the music tha I'm looking for than you do, and just maybe you should shut the fuck when you imply that ALL djs that use cds steal their music! I am VERY against this! I actually own a small collection of vinyl and I can burn it to cd via the turntable that I OWN. This way I can burn it directly onto cd via my computer and still have the rights to spin music that I can't find on cd. |
Buy cds or buy vinyls, we don't give a fuck. You mix with both, you can make the same transitions with either type. After all, mp3s are mostly for promotial use in trance music, as i think so. Now, if some people burn them on cds and start spinning, then i don't give a shit. Is it really illegal playng in a club with your cd-rs? Is it illegal spinning with your own compilations? What the fuck, who does know if the cd-rs you have burned mp3 tracks? NO ONE. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE. So, spin whatever you feel comfortable with. I think that vinyl needs more ballz for mixing and cds can help you be better at transitions or shit. That's all. 
I hate it when people make a thread in this forum turn into a personal matter/argument! Knock it off dudes!
^^^ it is ilegal to play CDRs with mp3s... why? because when you pay for a vinyl record, you pay for a right to play that track, with mp3s you don't? GET IT? and I think you just proved my point with, "What the fuck, who does know if the cd-rs you have burned mp3 tracks? NO ONE. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE."
