Which to you prefer, a cd mixed digitally(using a sequencer such as pro tools) or a cd mixed live on decks?

I prefer digital.

(i would of made this a poll but i dont know how)

sequencers are just lame, vinyl decks are the past, the present, and the future

I don't think you ppl understood the question.............
this is not another "what would you rather mix? CD's or Vinyl?" question..........
the question is: when you buy a CD like "Sensation" or "Magik" where the tracks are mixed in it, then would you prefer it mixed by a DJ (on decks, live recording)? or mixed by a studio crew (by computer)?

anyway, if the DJ is good, then I, personaly, see no difference.......

I must say that i preferr it live live live.....there's nothing that can beat the sound of the crowd screaming and claping to the music......makes my spine go icey all the time

I defintely prefer a digital cd recorded by studio or computer. For three main reasons:
1. Sound quality is much better the standard live recordings.
2. I hate noise interference by the crowd, I dont care for it, especially when it includes annoying MCs.
3. Mixing is usually more precise.

people don't forget that many cd commercially released were edited post mix

and mixing , no doubt about it, VINYL,

I can't believe people pop out this debate every other day , you are lame, that's what you are, and yeah I'm starting a flame war with every single person that mixes digital, and I will back it up if you wanna hustle.

DON'T EVER TELL ME: cd mixing rocks over vinyl or I will punch you in the face for being a wanker.

Most mixed cd's are edited, and the sets by huge dj's are filtered and edited many times ( I read 40 somewhere lately); not to mention the retrys they all have, if you think pvd made his politics of dancing cd in one go, your damn wrong, I dont' know for sure, but he probably did some of the harder mixes many times.

I prefer vinyl still, to me its the principle of the relationship that the dj and record have, its much more personal, and sometimes I think it can make a huge difference in the vibe etc....
