And i just got a thinking, it realy dont matter what you use so long as you get your feeling acrose to the people. I personaly use both cd/vinil/a laptop but i use em all for different things, i dont think any of em's better then the other their all tools to help me get my music acrose,

You should really look into getting a spell check. Handy piece of equipment that helps get your feeling across. Just messing with you.

i was @ club the other night where the dj was play'n off a labtop......there is a difference.... the mixing was very dry and mechanical.......IMO that steals from the whole thing of have a live dj......i personally like hearing beats come in hard and mixes running long.......i'm not sure how it works on labtops but it seems to steal what having the a person up there is about.....might as well throw on a premixed cd


on the other hand when people wanna submit guest mixes to my site i have no problem how they made it .....if the mix is tight its tight......i just don't like comps in a live enviornment

Mixing on a laptop/software is no different from cd/vinyl mixing unless you're doing a pre-recorded set or using programs that beatmatch automatically etc...

I'm pretty sure there are some programs out there that do. I agree with you completely on live performances. I think mixing on a computer is pretty lame in a live setting -- especially when the focus is on the DJ.

Sasha is dropping the vinyl and going computer. What this means is I won't be going to any of his shows. Yes there are creative things you can do with a computer. Yes, I consider computer mixing real mixing just like anything else. No, I do not think it is cool to watch.

I think it always comes down to people just bitching about one being better than the other because they only have turntables, or only have cd-decks. I turntable mix, but if I had the dough, I would certainly buy come CDJ's.

I'd have to agree on that one.

How you use equipment can make a difference. I regretably saw PVD last year, and his whole set was uninspiring and pre-programed. He didn't even interact w/ the crowd. Throughout his entire set, he just stood there behind his i-book. I know final scratch wasn't designed to replace turntables, but i have to admit, it's really bad just to have a dj that's not paying attention to the audience b/c he's spending more time messing around w/ gear and doing god knows what behind that notebook. Screw paul van dyk and paul oakenfold, Give me a dj that actually gives a damn about digging for records and performing. Give me DJ shadow, frankie bones, carl cox, and a whole list of others that are working their asses off and not necessary on the top 100 dj list.
