Should i sell my decks/vinyls and get cdjs?
View this Thread in Original format
Toufas
i have a pair of technics and over of 250 vinyls (www.discogs.com/~toufas ,the list is missing some rls that arent listed on discosgs)
i really like the things that the modern days cdjs can do and i can see the rise of labels offering digital content.
Should i sell my decks and get a pair of cdj 1000 or the new denon? do u think that i will be able to sell lots of vinyls in order to lower the cost?

Listen my man toufas...

selling them wont make u change ur style or the way ur mixing... so i would rather say keep them and keep playing with that .. is abou the same thing

Wouldn't it make more sense to keep the Technics and the vinyl and just add a CDJ to your setup? :conf:

at this moment 99.99 % of the stuff that gets released is vinyl only. so you still need to keep a turntable to digitize all your vinyl for cd use. (this can be a SL or a old thorens table)

so if you don't really care about cue-points, wave-data and all the other functions cd players have these days, you'd be better off by keeping your turntables.

This is true. Just add a CDJ to your setup. Both vinyl and CDJ alone have their little problems and advantages, but together they are golden.

no actaully about 60% of stuff but if your half smart you could get another 40% by making contacts in the buisness easily...althought I wouldnt be selling the decks just yet...

i concur that you should keep the technica and just pick up cd djs.

I would not sell your turntables.
Turntables will be a staple in every venue for quite some time. CDjs - not as much.

Plus if you are used to playing on 3 decks, it is rare that you will come across a 3 CD deck set up.

Would you rather you press buttons and have a 500 dollar processor do the job for you or stick with doing the job manually?
