i hope vinyl never dies..

in all honesty though, being a poor kid in the USA with a limited vinyl selection and limited funds, digital has been sounding better and better.. i am thinking of going 80% cd now (which would have been blasphemy to me 2 years ago)


but, when i do play out, i love going with my record case, 50% vinyl 50% cd. (i can never get used to this laptop business- as cool as it is, it feels too fake).


*sigh* who knows. just take it one step at a time, there is no definitive future, remember?

unfortunately the bigger labels are making more money from online/cd releases as the production cost is minimal compared to pressing 1,000 records.

vinyl definitely wont die. in a few years i bet some 'trendy' producer will release exclusively on vinyl to show how he remains true to the culture.

hell if i was a famous producer i'd do that now. (c) razzi 2006

Not long

I have been a vinyl junkie since i first stood behind a pair of decks, but now that I might be getting a roomate who has CD decks, ive taken the plunge and started purchasing mp3s. if anything, its so much more economical, although let me be the first to admit that I love how vinyl feels and I love the genuine feeling of spinning rekkids so I dont think Ill ever stop, just slow down.

unfortuneately, us EDM people just arent as skilled when it comes to those hip hop guys when it comes to mixing, or playing a 4 or even 8 beat loop while some guy talks over it...

damn those 4 beat loops, shit is so complicated, God Forbid we had to play an 8 beat loop or even worse, a track thats constantly changing with different elements and sounds of it being added in or removed.



LOL'z

"Especially you" I said.
"You are virtually the ring leader, the way I see it."
Then, I blew out the candle.

Yeah, because mixing two tracks with an identical beat is really fucking hard, right?

Dunce.

I'm sure vinyl will be around for a long time to come. Just look at the setup pictures thread. Plenty of people still with turntables still buying vinyl.

I love vinyl and buy it whenever I get the chance. Digital purchases are good in terms of not having to worry about the hole it leaves in your wallet or the other few problems vinyl may bring (stylus wear, skipping) but who doesnt love throwing on a nice 12" and watching it spin as the beat is just pumping away.

most of the promos nowadays are coming out on mp3s, a lot of producers release the stuff via the web, mp3s are becoming more and more fashionable, simply because there is not need to pay for production of the vinyl, you don't have to cut out a lacquer master, or pressing the record, and most producers don't have to pay the s&h charges. however mp3s will never be the same quality as vinyl, a lot of djs are jumping on the new bandwagon by switching to either 100% cd or a mix of both cds and ssl or fs2, personally i've tried ssl and i got to admit its a really amazing peace of software you can do pretty much anything on ssl as you would on vinyl including mixing, scratching, beat juggling. last time i've seen tiesto spin in toronto he played on thing but cdjs so did markus shultz, johan gielen, and christopher lawrence. as for vinyl going out of style, it will probably happen eventually every single product has its life cycle, and as the market reaches its maturity stage, its bound to hit the sales decline stage hence the product reaches its final and last stage that’s when most of the manufactures decide to drop the product simply because they don't find it profitable
