| how much does final scratch go for |
|
|
| ZinG |
yes ofcourse
thought u can visually see the start/ending of a track plus the break downs as it analyzes the frequencies. A bit more detailed than a vinyl, you can see with vinyl the breakdowns of a track |

its the EXACT same thing as vynil.
just that i heard that fs sux cuz its not stable (software wise)
rane/serato came out wit scratch live. wich is sed to be more stable |

Final Scratch uses Tracktor DJ now, which is more stable than the old interface they were using.
So far all the djs using final scratch are having 99.9% error free sets |

why do i use cdj's?
my responsibility to the dancefloor comes first...if sander sends me a track six hours before i play i think its selfish to say i would not play it that night to paying customers just because i want to wait for the vinyl, although for some the value of playing vinyl is above that of their desire to play new songs they know will rock their dancefloor, again this is a matter of choice, for me its new music now and that means cd's
the other reason i play cd's is i can do my own edits of stuff, both at home and on the fly, last week i used the cdj' loop function and dragged out the breakdown of chiapet for a ridiculous time, toying with the crowd by hovering my finger above the "loop exit" button till they were dying. then after i push it the drum roll kicks in.
i love vinyl, i just feel with the technology and the advantages its now time for me to be comfortable with cd's and the wonderful cdj. ive just aquired a dvj which allows each dj to attach his own personal visuals to his cd collection...(imagine having a visuals show that matches the songs to a T, a major colour change in the room during a major key change in a breakdown)...this is moving forward.
ilove both mediums and every club has both cdj's and sl1200's (either on permanent install or rented for the night as per our riders)
i don't think ill ever be able to enjoy the feel of a cd player the way i do vinyl but the advatages of the cdj over carrying records with you now makes it so. i still buy, collect and love vinyl. most of my cd's began as vinyl...
im not saying its for everyone, but i can tell you im close to the last of my peers to make the switch.
this ended up a lot longer than i though but hey...

p.s. the commercial argument has no weight, there is no money in dance vinyl these days...downloading direct from the label makes far more sense in so many way's |

@zing: they have been using traktor since the begining of fs... and yes there has been stability issues. i dont kno about fs 2 as they have changed the interface (hardware)
@max graham: god bless the loop function |

| whatever happend in the future i will never sell my fav records... but as maxgraham said we have no other choice than playing cds with the quality of the equipments... i just dont feel the same playing a cd... it's so impersonal ...:confused: |
