Iv got two techs + laptop with two outputs. This givs the best of both worlds. Only problem is that my budget is going towards buying more digital tracks instead of vinyl. I just love both, vinyl i find is more fun for me but in a way digital formats are aswell because of the extra control you have (looping etc)

Cds are the easy way out.

less and less comes out on vinyl these days..

all a cd player does is make it possible to play more upfront and new stuff.. and soon the only new stuff will be released on mp3.

i wish it wasnt true but it is..

its more fun on cdjs cos you can play your own stuff. + they hold their speed so you can concentrate on mixing perfectly.

i will draw the line at ableton live for beatmixing in clubs... nonsense! but a cdj 1000 looks just as cool as a 1210 when a dj uses it.. imo

exactly. that's why i'll be picking up some cdjs soon. new tunes i've been getting from beatport (cheaper than vinyl) but when beatport gives me territory restrictions...or they don't have the track i'm looking for, i order it on vinyl. i really like the flexibility. plus some of my old really rare rekkids will never see a digital re-release (although some unforunately have ).

i also think it's important to know how to play on both vinyl and cd. you never know what sort of situation you'll find yourself in. can only make you a better dj

ehh... this is the never-ending debate...

being a record collector and having invested $1,000s (more than i'd like to admit) in records i am all for vinyl... there are some pros to it... the feel, the hunt for the song, the sound, etc. but those pros can also be cons... can take you YEARS to find a particular track (and when you do it can cost you a small fortune), the crackles and pops can get pretty annoying (especially on the ambient tracks), etc.

digital (CD/WAV/MP3/whatever) is great because you can get a clean/crisp version of the song, can get it pretty immediately, and can get it fairly cheap. that being said, it takes part of the "fun" out of it... it's kind of boring to just go to a website every friday and download the latest tracks just like every other guy out there... it's kind of cool to have an awesome song and know that only 200 of them are out there and i'm one of the 200 people that can play it out (well sorta... there are digital rips now, but you know what i mean).

like chris said, it's good to know all different mediums because you never know what situation you'll be in, but i'm not all for one medium over the other... each has their benefits and you just need to harness them.

I wish I could download vinyl for the same price.

the second your computer lets you download vinyl you let me know!
