hmm... It made me think about something... When I buy a record of a particular song. And, the same night, I download the MP3 for own use, is that piracy? MY guess was no, 'cuz when I bought the record, I also bought the rights on that track for myself...

Me thinks "4-track", should be in there somewhere. There's probably not too many users in the forum that remember them, or even *heard* of 'em.

-totally agreed.

The arguement wasn't which is better for spinning, it was which is a better medium for music--at least it started out that way

This is a good question and an argumentable one!

This is my opinion and review on the subject and everyone is intitled to there own.

First of all most people like to see vinyl being playing rather than CD's, for the show. However there is a misconception towards the DJ that spin CD's. It takes the same talent to mix CD's that it takes for vinyl. If you are a Dj that can use both types of media then you really have an edge over the DJ that spins vinyl exclusively.

OK I play both vinyl and CD's and enjoy both of them equally. Vinyl has something that CD's lack and that is the warmth of analog. However vinyl does have it's downfalls. First of all, everytime you play a piece of vinyl, you are literally destroying that piece of music. I have a lot of 80's retro on vinyl that were played night after night in club and you can tell that they are badly damaged. I recommend burning a copy of any song you really like directly to CD when you first buy it for backup. Also there is the problem of static and pops with vinyl. CD's are digitally master and don't usually have that problem. Although CD's lack the warmth of analog, the digital sound from CD's is usually better and you are not harming the song each time you play it. Another advantage CD's have is that they compact and weigh very little. If you have ever toted crates of vinyl around you know what I mean. I had a gig one time with some other DJ's that played vinyl exclusively and they had some requests for some older songs that they couldn't fullfill because they had only enough room in the vinyl case for there most current pieces. In a case the size of a very small suitcase I have enough CD's to go back several years or further and can in most cases fullfill all requests. So there is really not a good answer to the question of which is better, but as far as convience and space consumption go, CD's are the better choice. One other thing I really like about mixing with CD's is that once you find your cue point and cue it, it is ready when you need to start your mix. Vinyl on the other hand can from time to time skip off the groove right when you are getting ready to start your mix and really mess things up for a DJ that needs to start a mix on a particular break. OK well enough said about all this, just remember all you DJ's out there don't let anyone rag you about mixing with CD's because it's not the media you choose but the talent it takes to beat mix it into a smooth transition from one song to the next.

See, I dunno.

I'd like to learn to make my own Trance music. How do I do that?

I'm getting a Synthesizer and 2 Turntables. Is that all I need? Or should I get a CD system too?

OK..let's say I already created the music.

I don't know how to make my own vinyl, so how would I play it back via Turntables?

I *could* burn the tracks onto CD's, but I have another option..

What about MD? 2 MD Decks and a Mixer? MD's are high-quality and ATRAC3-encoded, so I can make it sound really good.

2tt or 2 cdjs or 2 MD and a mixer are for dj-ing. For mixing tunes in a club.

If you want to make your own music you will need a (fast) computer, a program (like nero), a sinths or a sampler as said before. You don't need tt or a mixer to make music, even more they are useless because they will only play vinyl. Wich I assume will not be your medium of your made songs.

Do you want to dj aswell? Because if you don't then you don't need tt or mixer, you can just burn your song on a cd and play it in a normal cd-player.
