Unlike mp3s, you can sell your vinyl. About half of the tunes I've got on vinyl came from raking through 2nd hand shops and finding hidden gems for 50p. I found a limited edition (500 pressings) of flutlicht icarus for £1 last week. Just one reason why vinyl is so much more fun than downloading (well, if you're a trainspotter like me hehe).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against digital mixing - just saying that each has its place. |
True, but I wouldn't want to sell my vinyl (too many keepers). But yeah i'll prolly sell the stuff that sucks. There are shops around where I live, but NONE of them sell good trance or progressive, it's all rap, club-pop music, house, and of course techno, esp detroit techno, which I'm not a huge fan of. True it is pretty fun finding a record you like, but I got tired of waiting forever for stuff to be available at DanceRecords, because that was the cheapest record store that sold the stuff I liked, and I trusted the place. I would always fear though, that I would get a warped or damaged record in the mail.
It didn't happen much, but I never have to worry about any of that stuff.
I can get the tunes when I want, and if I don't like the tune, it's not as much of a waste of $$ as it would be spending all that money with records, that you wouldn't exactly throw away or delete from your hard drive if you hated it. This is just the way I see it with me personally, but I still feel that digital is the way of the future, and all those who are beginning DJs in the 21st century should go with CDJs, and i've seen more and more beginners starting with CDJ 200s (I went all the way for the 1000 MK2s because I knew I never would have to upgrade with them and I had the money for it saved up, and a little money from selling my TTs). Besides you wont waste all the money I did buying records, but I guess at the time when I got TTs (in 2003) there weren't as many digital download shops as there are now.

to me, it's part of what being a "dj" is all about
