Amen, brother.

Yeah I guess DJs are now using the aesthetics and skills appeal of Vinyl to get ahead and develop a name, instead of relying on technology to induce creativity by making the mundane things simple.

DJ's do and will always still use vinyl at some points in time. It was the way a lot of DJs were brought up. Not all DJs turned there back on the feel of traditional mixing. That isint to say there scared of the technology either.. Personally i use all 3 (Cdjs, Ableton, And Turntables).

Theres still so many things you can do authenticly on Turntables, Theres still rare records avaliable only on Vinyl, Still the feeling you get from walking from the train station all the way into the other side of town - Purely to get that 'One record' like a commited DJ should. And not everybody can find it in them to boogy down to a DJ sitting there with a laptop in his hands.

Vinyl has taken the backseat yes, But dead? I disagree.

/Rant off

Perhaps not dead but dying. More and more I see no turntables at venues or the turntables being used to set a CD wallet or laptop on. It wasn't like that just a few years ago.

Aslong as DJs are around, So will turntables. I whole heartedly agree that they're definately taking a backseat. Why shouldnt they? With a laptop or CDJs you can express yourself musically SO much more than ever before. We need that in the DJ world..

But vinyls not dead nor dying. It's only taking a backseat.. I think its great that we're now having more ways to express our music. Ableton makes so many things easier.

And for the sake of the thread - In all those photos, Techs are being used. But i still stand by earlier claims that Stanton make qaulity decks.. Stanton is my choice.

And some people choose Techs.. Who cares?
