Which to you prefer, a cd mixed digitally(using a sequencer such as pro tools) or a cd mixed live on decks?

I prefer digital.

(i would of made this a poll but i dont know how)

I don't think you ppl understood the question.............
this is not another "what would you rather mix? CD's or Vinyl?" question..........
the question is: when you buy a CD like "Sensation" or "Magik" where the tracks are mixed in it, then would you prefer it mixed by a DJ (on decks, live recording)? or mixed by a studio crew (by computer)?


anyway, if the DJ is good, then I, personaly, see no difference.......

I must say that i preferr it live live live.....there's nothing that can beat the sound of the crowd screaming and claping to the music......makes my spine go icey all the time

I defintely prefer a digital cd recorded by studio or computer. For three main reasons:
1. Sound quality is much better the standard live recordings.
2. I hate noise interference by the crowd, I dont care for it, especially when it includes annoying MCs.
3. Mixing is usually more precise.

people don't forget that many cd commercially released were edited post mix


and mixing , no doubt about it, VINYL,

I can't believe people pop out this debate every other day , you are lame, that's what you are, and yeah I'm starting a flame war with every single person that mixes digital, and I will back it up if you wanna hustle.

DON'T EVER TELL ME: cd mixing rocks over vinyl or I will punch you in the face for being a wanker.

i like em both. Vinyl is more fun tho. but really. lets face it they both have there advantages!

amen bruvva! nothing like vinyl under your fingertips

Most mixed cd's are edited, and the sets by huge dj's are filtered and edited many times ( I read 40 somewhere lately); not to mention the retrys they all have, if you think pvd made his politics of dancing cd in one go, your damn wrong, I dont' know for sure, but he probably did some of the harder mixes many times.

I prefer vinyl still, to me its the principle of the relationship that the dj and record have, its much more personal, and sometimes I think it can make a huge difference in the vibe etc....
