Originally posted by her throat cut yes? well how come Tiesto is number 1 for two years on the row? he is like the lamest dj i know, but just because he spins trance(which many people dig) and makes show, people will like him. i actually think some of the best djs were way behind. so, its all about the show as it seems and knowing what people like in this business. not how much work you put on the turntables.

hes number one because DJ mag Top 100 is a popularity contest. And what does that have to do with the thread.

And that second sentence makes no sense

"Dave Clarke is giving up on vinyl now because CDs simply have a better sound quality."


Tahts bollocks!!

You know, I find it odd that everyone still goes on and on about the convenience of carrying a CD wallet instead of a box of records, while completely missing the REAL advantavges of the CD/digital format.

Just look at what James Zabiela does - there's simply so much more creative potential with CD's than there is with vinyl. This is definately its biggest advantage. Why don't people realize this?

The other big advantage is that new, unreleased tracks are dirt cheap to produce and put in the DJ's hands. Five years ago, some kid in his bedroom with the next big track would have to first promote himself to a swarm of record labels, get signed, and wait for the first promo records to be pressed. Today, he can burn a million copies himself and send them off to anyone and everyone. If he's a DJ, he can finish his track that afternoon and be spinning it that evening.

Don't get me wrong, vinyl is great. The sound is still better, technics are still rugged and dependable. But refusing to accept CD's simply for nostalgia's sake is ignorant. Both have their advantages and theres zero reason why both records and CD's can't coexist in our record bins.

We were supposed to run out of oil long ago, according to past predictions. But we keep finding more and developing new technology to extract it. Not that it's an infinate resource - not by any means. But we aren't just going to look down all our wells one day and say "oh shit, we're out." As reserves get low the price of oil will go up, until eventually people realize their SUV's are just too expensive to keep driving and will use alternatives.

Besides, unless I'm mistaken, vinyl is made of wax.

that website is funny because they said this "Fellow Brit Dave Clarke is giving up on vinyl now because CDs simply have a better sound quality"

we all know that isnt true. i dont know what the link is, but there is a massive flame ware someplace on these forums about quality and you can see for yourself that thats is just not true.



My biggest issue with all this switching to CD and laptops is not so much with CDs but with laptops. talk about taking the easy way out. can you say lazy. i dont care if the best DJ in the world plays the greatest set at the most amazing location. if im there and i see him/her mixing on a laptop i will BOO my ass off. i love technology but thats just r'diculous... if you dont really know what im talking about lemme explain.

back in my earlier and more naive years, before i was really into EDM or DJing/Producing, i was thinking to myself, hmm i wonder what it would be like to mix. now since i was young i didnt even know that DJs used turntables and mixers to mix. i just figured it was all done on computers. i was searching for programs to use and i stumbled upon on such program that was supposed to be so amazing. it was really expensive too. i cant think of the name but if i remember i will post it up. now i downloaded a trial version of this "oh so amazing" program and loaded up two mp3s and i tried to mix. now i found it rather difficult, but then i realized i was only in the advanced mode. i switched to basic mode and i found a button that was called automixer or soemthing. i clicked it, and it matched the beats, messed with the midtones, and mixed the two tracks perfectly.

now if all these big namers started using laptops, chances are they could afford to buy a program similar and CHEAT THEIR WAY THROUGH THE FUCKING SET!!!

thats why the whole idea of mixing with a laptop makes me want to kill. its just cheating and stupid. stick with whats natural. vinyl cant be topped, and nothing will change my opinion.

agree with you 100%
laptops rip out the heart and soul out of DJing

hey, i've mixed with my comp for about 1.5 years now, using traktor mainly and ableton live, i don't do any gigs and i can't afford to buy tt's, but i love playing with it and i find it a great stress reliever, as well as a great creative outlet.

i've spun vinyl, but not for any length of time or very seriously, so i can't really say yay or nay to vinyl. however, without mp3's, i would have NEVER gotten into electronic music as much as i have, nor would i have been able to listen to some amazing sets or find some of those rare tracks that are unavailable on vinyl where i live (or are sold out on the net).

i feel grateful to have been able to experience EDM through digital media, and i may be criticized for not being 'true' to the music, but i think music is all about how you get your 'high' on it, and how it affects you personally.


btw, i may actually be getting a gig at a lounge here in indy, and i will be using a laptop with traktor and ableton if i do!



peaceness

MP3 mixing programs are helpful, though some will disagree with me.

It can teach you how to make songs flow better, and how to build-up a set. I have nothing against them being used for that purpose, I think it's a great and easy way to learn those two methods of DJ'ing.
