Why be so scared to embrace technology people??

This great technology allows us create a truely unique sound.
I can wip up my own remix of a new tune and play it in a club that night. Play extremely rare tunes unrealeased on vinyl or a friends great production. Djing is now becoming more and more about having your own unique sound.

Vinyl vs Cd Who cares

Use what ever you can to make your Dj sets truely original I say.
Seems stupid not to use this available technology though

Great attitude!

vinyl vs cd
cd vs vinyl

vinyl will sound better if its brand new and probably will be a little more upfront.
cd will be cheaper and will have alonger life.

heres my advise:

USE ANY MUSIC YOU CAN FIND (EVEN IF ITS ILLEGAL - BREAK THE "LAW"

MAKE SOME MONEY AT YOUR OWN RISK BY SPINNING THEM IN CLUBS

INVEST THEM INTO PROMMOTING YOUR SELF AND GETTING SOME STUDIO TIME

AND ONCE YOU ARE UP THERE ( IF YOUR MUSIC WAS WORTH A FUCK TO BEGIN WITH)

USE VINYL ,+ CD / DVD BECAUSE LABELS WILL SENT THEM TO YOU .

CRACKS /POPS /NOISE CAN FUCK UP EVEN THE BEST BREAKDOWN.
SO IF YOU HAVE ACCSESS TO A DIGITAL VERSION OF THE "PLAYED ONE TO MANY TIMES"
TRACK IT WOULD BE STUPID OF YOU NOT TO CONSIDER IT''



ROGER SANS. ( THE KING OF CHEESY RADIO HOUSE) GOT PAYED A SHIT LOAD OF MONEY FROM PIONEER
TO SUPPORT THEM
SO DID EDDIE, SO DID ZABIELLA.
SO YOU 12 YEAR OLD STUPID BEDROOM DJS WOULD SELL YOU WAX ON EBAY FOR A 1$ A PIECE
BECAUSE IT ISNT "IN" ANYMORE.THE "FUTURE" IS DIGITAL.

EVEN WORSE SOME OF YOU WILL GIVE 60$ FOR RECORD YOU ALREADY OWN
IN ANOTHER FORMAT. WELL UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY TO BURN
THAT WAS A PRETTY STUPID BUY NOW WASNT IT?


BOTTOM LINE WHAREVER YOU USE MAKE SURE ITS GOOD MUSIC.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THATS WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO REMEMBER

I love this thread, it cracks me up sometimes

Wow, alot of anger we have, dont we? I bet you will get far with that attitude.

i think what its important is the music the means how you make it nobody cares the vinyls has advantages like they give you "porte" but the equipment like turn tables and records are very expensive and they are not easy to transport because of that i prefer digital mixing because its more easy to transport and emule all the features of the vinyls

dear 123

please accept my deep appologies .
I gave you the impresion I was angry or impatient when posting on a brand new thread on a very important debate such as the " vinyl vs cd " which I inexcusably dismised as "pointless".
I will from now on write in a polite and friendly style you approve of.

Please allow me to make it up :

When someone wants to choose whether he is going to use digital or vinyl
there are many important factors one should consider:

-The equipment he/she currently has access to.
if one has cdj i would recomend he uses cds ,if one has turntables cds will not be accessable via the use of a turntable so in that case I would recomend vinyl.
If one is so lucky that he happens to own both well will have the immediate advantage over the rest to deside.

.The music he/she currently owns

Very very important. If one happens to own a lot of records selling them for a fraction of their cost and building a collection from scratch again on cds is ... well... not very wise.

.The budget he/she is on.
if its just 150-200 $ djing software and a audio interface should be enough to get you started.

.The space he/she has available for the gear .

If is just a nightstand I would personaly recomend a dual cdj and the reason for that is that any attempt to fit 2decks such as the sl-1200 on a nightstand
would inevitably fail due to the lack of space.

.What format he / she feels comfortable djing with.
After all we are creatures of habit arent
we?

.What format his / her favorite dj idols use when djing.

If one is into ,friendly/party house that slightly leans towards the mainstream side and gets exposure through very important radio shows such as the essential selection,
well known and established djs such as roger san., (who is leading the format) '
& erick morillo have already desided what format they will be using
so the best way to get into the limelight next to them
is to simply forget your individual preferences and
immitate their every move so that you can get "far" like they did.

Don't worry man, I think that people just got confused as you wrote most of our post in CAPS people assumed you were shouting. Maybe you were, but people also have a tendancy to read negative tone of voice into a post before a positive one.

At the end of the day, this thread is purely for fun as the ultimate outcome of this debate (if indeed there is a debate still to be had) is to be decided on the dancefloors.

Cheers

After all as I said on my original post its the MUSIC that matters.
I couldnt live without my final scratch 2 though :-)
It blurs the line.

has anyone sold their turntables after buying cdjs? i am wondering if i should beucase i need money. i cant afford vinyl anymore, nor can i fathom paying so much for music now especially when i am no pro and i am not making any money from this [expencive] hobby

Well, a few days ago I went down to my local music store and tried out some of the top of the line CDJ's out there and I must say its just not as fun as vinyl, thats for sure.

But the reality is digital is the future, and digital tracks are far cheaper than vinyl.

Yet after thinking about it for a long, long, long time I came to the realization that the reason I am djing is for fun, and if I buy cdj's I wont be having as much fun. Therefore the best decision for me is vinyl... I'll buy tracks whenever I can, and slowly work from there. And god willing, I'll be able to buy cdj's or Final Scratch one day.

In the end it comes down to the fact that both formats are here to say, and its merely a matter of preference. So if you're unsure, go out there and try different CDJs and TTs and make the decision thats best for you.

Cheers,

cdjs may not be much fun for what you do... but i can guarantee that it will open some doors and allow you to do things that youve never done before. i felt the same way until i saw zabiela... theres a video of him floating around i suggest you take a look and see what other things can be done so that you can have more fun.
