you mentioned cost, i was just stating a point in regards to that. Many dj's play multiple cuts off of the same release.

It would be stupid though to say you don't save quite a bit by buying digital instead of vinyl. Everyone I know went from spending a few hundred a month on vinyl to maybe $50 on digital downloads.

Originally posted by RJT That video is fucking awesome. Edit: OK, not only is it awesome to see how Hawtin goes about doing what he does with Traktor, but to see someone who's literally seen it and done it all still be so fucking excited about DJ'ing is even more mega. Just absolutely inspiring.

Seriously, that video was epic.

Right, but Clovis mentioned techno DJ's in particular, and I was wondering as to why the aesthetics of wax and convenience of digital files were somehow more of priority with those playing techno than other genres.

Anyway, Chris Fortier is one of the major jocks still running with an almost entirely vinyl set-up.

Because the other genres embraced digital a LONG time ago. Techno DJs held out a bit longer.

i was referring more to delivery costs. most big djs used to get promos that had a few tracks or one track with a few remixes per cut.

now-a-days it's so much cheaper to fileshare .wavs or mail CDrs then to mail out vinyl. that's where i was going.

not really, i spend more now with digital downloads and vinyls then before.

i like buying full releases, and believe it or not many others do.

not every vinyl you need to buy has to be shipped from europe, but then again it also depends on if you live in a metropolitan area with a market for dance music vs the middle of nowhere with none. I have even managed to find records for cheaper than beatport (WAV).

what would be pretty stupid is making baseless assumptions even if they seem right.

I believe it just saying that for most of us digital has been much cheaper. Most people don't live in a mmetropolitan area with large market for dance music. I live in a large metropolitan area but there is a large market for rap/reggaeton/r&B/metal.

i agree with the most people part completely.

when you start buying wav and such the pricing is still pretty competitive.

i am not talking about mp3's.

Over the past 5 years I've collected 1,100 vinyl, 200+ CDs, and 4,800+ legal MP3s. Digital has been much cheaper.

how many wav's?

Oh I agree with you there. If I was going to buy all wavs then you really aren't saving anything over vinyl.
