I had an argue with a friend cos he was claiming that vinyl was so big in this genre and culture onloy cos it's so expensive with CD mixers.
I told him that there's much more than just the mixing, trance cinyls comes with a way of living...

So I need your help now with some good points and facts about why winyl is better, could be anything from technical stuff to emotional!

Thanx in advance for the help

Higher Frequency response. CD's for from whatever to 44KHz. Vinyl's go higher.. like 48 i believe. So i think that's why they sound better.

The believe is that Vinyl - because it works as analog - hold musch more than just sound but a certain vibe that you cant get on a CD.

most ppl wont hear the diffrence but at a huge club with a huge sound system im sure it has some sort of infulence.

Actually, CDs are capable of holding much higher frequencies than vinyl. The problem with the CDs is the way they are mastered by recording companies -- they are normalizing them by cutting the highs so that their records will sound good on cheap systems used by the most of their consumers.

Vinyl has no frequency caps. That's why many people say that vinyl gives a much richer sound.

Can you explain frequency range? I dunno what it is...

where i was on this arguw with my self...vinyl or cd...and when u want to become a "prof. dj" u have to think about it very much..well i handle cdz more and less vinyls,cause im still a student with no work and not many money from parents sto cdz are just fine for me..but with vinyl there is the other thing..u search for them..u find them..u take them..u hold them in ur hands...u really love them..!

ok peeps i saw some pics of the winter fest that just finnished and i saw a pic of john digweed spinning with cd's..

peace!

the new pioneer cd players can allegedy replicate vinyl frequencies..

and alot of djs do use cds.. for brand spankin new tracks, but if you were to ask them, i'm sure they'd prefer the feel of vinyl over cds..

IMHO, vinyl is just cooler. LOL. Its more about the feel of records as opposed to CDs. Thats why I dig vinyl. I don't really know about the frequency resonse stuff tho

Hi

This is pretty simple actually, I'll try to cut it short:

When you hear a vinyl you here the small gaps made on it when it was cut by a needle. Some say this is like hearing the "Actual" sound recorded... When you here a CD, it doesn't work like that... When the CD is recorded, the sounds from the PC are taken and each very small duration of time, the recording machine or burener or whatever takes a samll part of the sound, and "Translates" it into computer language, which basically means each of these small portions is stored on the CD as "10000100010011101" or something
Then, when you hear the CD, you hear these small portions rapidly played one after the other... Humans can't really hear when one ends and one begins but the result (As some say and some deny) is that because the sounds are cut between them, the sound is clearer whilst at vinyl, it is warmer....
The speed of "cutting" the pieces of sound is measured by Heartz (HRz) in the way that @ 44100 Heartz (=44.1 KHz), the standard way of recording CDs, each 1/44,100 of a second the machine takes that piece of sound and stores it on the CD...
