Don't get me wrong, I'm not against digital mixing - just saying that each has its place. |
True, but I wouldn't want to sell my vinyl (too many keepers). But yeah i'll prolly sell the stuff that sucks. There are shops around where I live, but NONE of them sell good trance or progressive, it's all rap, club-pop music, house, and of course techno, esp detroit techno, which I'm not a huge fan of. True it is pretty fun finding a record you like, but I got tired of waiting forever for stuff to be available at DanceRecords, because that was the cheapest record store that sold the stuff I liked, and I trusted the place. I would always fear though, that I would get a warped or damaged record in the mail.
It didn't happen much, but I never have to worry about any of that stuff.
I can get the tunes when I want, and if I don't like the tune, it's not as much of a waste of $$ as it would be spending all that money with records, that you wouldn't exactly throw away or delete from your hard drive if you hated it. This is just the way I see it with me personally, but I still feel that digital is the way of the future, and all those who are beginning DJs in the 21st century should go with CDJs, and i've seen more and more beginners starting with CDJ 200s (I went all the way for the 1000 MK2s because I knew I never would have to upgrade with them and I had the money for it saved up, and a little money from selling my TTs). Besides you wont waste all the money I did buying records, but I guess at the time when I got TTs (in 2003) there weren't as many digital download shops as there are now. |

Awesome, see you guys have great record shops. Where I live (in Detroit, MI area) they don't sell these kinds of records, so your left to get them online, where u take chances. |

 What version of that did you get?
Just in my last visit alone, I got...
Flutlicht: Icarus (limited edition)
Bleachin: Bleachin
Blackbox: Ride on time
Assension: for a lifetime
Oceanlab: clearblue water
ressurection: follow us to the cocaine bar
A Tsumani promo with 2 unnamed tunes on it
Pachelbel's Canon
ALL for under £15 - freakin gold mine! I've had many more from there too over the past few months. I love raking too - damned sight more fun than typing in to isohunt, that's for sure! |

| im kind of sad that i missed out on the vinyl ara. Im just now getting into djing and I preordered 2 cdj 800mk2s, i think that vinyl is starting to fade out and i have no record stores anywhere i live. So i kinda have to go with cdjs or I really wouldnt have a large selection of music to play. Im thinking maybe in the near furture ill buy some turntables but for now digital seems like the right path to go with for me. |

Sure, you can always add at least one 1200 to your setup. You'll be better DJ for it, learning to ride the pitch and compensate with vinyl will improve your skills overall.
And don't forget to look online for vinyl. I only shop in my local vinyl store (walking distance for me) maybe once a month or so (it's expensive and the selection isn't always great, or what they do have I can just download for much cheaper). The vast majority of music I get is in digital form.

even if there are no records stores where you live, there are still a bunch of great shops online. anyways, the best part of vinyl for me is going to the record store and digging through crates for hours on end and finding hidden gems in there :) to me, it's part of what being a "dj" is all about |
