Then I'm sure there will be sites that sprout that offer rips in AIFF format or whatever that you can download the songs without even having the vinyls/CDs. Actually, that wouldn't be a half bad idea for labels...

Until broadband gets even faster, I don't see these huge AIFF and WAV files becoming the trading standard for music sharing... just me though.

How big could the files be? A couple hundred megs is not alot for broadband, sure it takes a little longer than your average MP3 but it's definitely possible.

Why bother downloading a 50-60 MB .wav file when you can get an mp3 file to like 12-13 MB?

Because they´re uncompresed... And sound they sound better in a club with good speakers.

haha...funny ass thread with lot of misguided posts.

From where I'm sitting, FS doesn't cost AS much as you guys think. If you can afford a pair of 1200s and a mixer you can afford FS. I was thinking of getting this, but than I would have to rip all my vinyl/cds onto WAV and keep it housed on my laptop...ugh such a pain, and have to agrree with Paul, mixing from MP3s is -- bleh -- low quality, but whatever just my taste in quality.

and the whole PvD german TECHNO dj --- yeaaaa nice magazine that's supposed to be knowledgeable in the EDM scene...morons.

I think FS is not bad as long as it is just an additional tool for djs. But replacing vinyl with mp3s is way too much for me. I cant bear watching a dj looking his laptops screen and browsing mp3s for 2 hours. A couple of traxx played by FS r ok but not more

I’m all for using new advances in technology, but there is no need to use new technology for the sake of using new technology.

And as for all this “MP3 sounds crap in clubs, thus won’t be spun”, that’s a terrible argument. Granted, the top flight DJ’s wont be playing MP3’s but the little w*****s who play at the local clubs, the sort of places the rest of us mortals will be trying to play at, won’t give a crap.

Vinyl is an inseparable part of the culture of Dance music. It’s just not the same without.

Most people would be unable to tell the difference of a hi bit rate mp3 compared to a wav, viny etc..

A club system even a good one will have will not have the frequency range and all have a bias to the lows (bass) that over powers the highs and mids anyway and provided the dj has the levels on both tracks the same it would be hard to tell the difference...

Do you really think that's the reason why people use Final Scratch? If so, get your head checked.

That's not the point. Of course mp3s will be played in clubs (it is now even without Final Scratch), but my point was that since most DJs look down upon DJs who play mp3s out, the chance of it damaging the scene significantly is very small, even with Final Scratch in place.

Originally posted by trancinchink damn... zabiela scratches when he spins his music. i thought i would be original and do that... lol. how many other EDM dj's scratch when they spin? i'm just curious.

i know Donald Glaude does, and he probably owns Zabiela. But, i like Zabiela non the less, lots of skills and he'll be better in a couple of years.

Eddie Halliwell scratches, and always has.


However, I think it sounds like shit with trance/house.



Drum n bass is a different story.
