Seems like a lot of you dj for the wrong reasons...like you have someone to impress or something


LOL, isn't that the truth!

You can do 95% of what you can do on a turntable with the CDJ-1000 plus so much more you can't do on a TT.

Also, Promos are so much easier and faster to be burned onto CDs.

People are just too resistant to new technology.

Spinning Vinyls for me feels more natural than spinning with CDs BUT that's just my own personal taste due to what I've been used to. I recently bought a CD DJ player to mix in tracks that I can't get on vinyl (yes there ARE tracks that never gets put on vinyl -- and I'm not talking trance tracks). Especially nowadays when most, if not all music produced is done digitally, there realy isn't any difference in sound to a Vinyl (warmer?!?!..wtf) and CD except when a person LOOKS at what is being played and becomes BIASED.

Yes it's cheaper to put things onto CD (talking about Record Companies and not the home studio mp3 junkie burning shit)...personally would LOVE to see rec comapnies releasing stuff on both Vinyl AND CD, charging $10 for vinyl and $5 for CD (make the same amount of profit, if not more on a sale of a CD). Selling things on CD would also market the sale to people that own a CD player (not just a CD DJ Player). BAH!

CD DJ is here to stay and to the person that stated why CD Turntable seem to want to imitate a vinyl turntable, well, can you think of any other ways to DJ? a CD Turntable adds tons of other things that a conventional turntable CAN'T. In the end the CD Turntable still has to do the basic function of...well...playing to mix. It's not about following, but rather maintaining it's real function and adding extras onto it.

Just my $0.02.

People might feel cool spinning vinyl but I guarantee that they won't feel so cool after their vinyls have gotten stolen.

CDRs are a great way to protect your investment.



Also, this whole conversation about VINYL sounding warmer, thats some nice bullshit.

It's not bullshit but obviously in a club environment, you're not going to notice the difference.


btw: For those who say "I hate CDDJs", I guess you probably have the "I hate Germans because they are all nazis" mentality. You may not like what *some* CDDJs do but that is no reason to assume they are all bad. It's kind of like saying that everyone who has mp3s are music pirates : ). Don't be so fucking closed-minded and prejudice.

Originally posted by Philby if u saw someone using vinyl and they couldnt mix for shit, couldnt beatmatch, couldnt scratch, wouldn't u slap him? "hes shit but hey he uses vinyl so ill let it go" wtf are you talking about.

Not so much that philb, just seems with vinyls being more expensive, and unburnable that DJing wont become a giant bandwagon. I dunno i was ranting that day lolz. I am just in favor of tradition, CDJs seem like a big fat freeway to more piracy. I know the big DJs who use em purchased there music legitamitely but it seems like more ameteurs would be spinning there mp3 collections everywhere.

And if i saw a guy doing that on vinyls id slap him to lmao, he shouldnt be performing if he cant mix for shit, he should be in his bedroom lmao.

Originally posted by liquidxxd i agree withs upporting the artists, but you cant buy ayu m anymore, you can buy it on ebay (but the artist already got their cut), but it costs like over 150 to buy it, to me that is a big waste of money,

Same in my case, but i dont think its a big waste.... I love old tunes like Systematic Parts - Deja Vu and stuff like that. I have them on cds, illegaly downloaded from the internet. Why i did this? I simply dont have enough money to buy that old vinyls even turntables. (But I buy new cd that are coming out...). But becouse i love trance music sooo much, i spin in small clubs most of the time for free, for my pleasure...am i doing it wrong?

If i won the lotery, then i'd buy myself tt's and vinyls, but until then, i simply can't...
