How much longer is vinyl going to live? (pg. 5)

I have SSL, and first used it with the vinyl, now I have cdjs. I like it better with the cdj's. The accuracy is amazing.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. look at all the different formats that vinyl has survived. vinyl will probably never truly die. records will be here with 4 cockroaches after the apocalypse.

As far as CDJ goes i dont see it dying anytime soon. Will all this new digital CD space technology coming out with normal CD-R's getting over a gig of space it'll be more convenient fitting music on a cd platform.

every single product has its life cycle, and as the market reaches its maturity stage, its bound to hit the sales decline stage hence the product reaches its final and last stage that’s when most of the manufactures decide to drop the product simply because they don't find it profitable

its inevitable, now the question is when

Personally I see this totally as a matter of personal choice. I absolutely love vinyl and have done for many years, I started collecting it at 13 years old when I started getting my own money. It's the best thing ever to enjoy mixing with. But it's so damn expensive now..as a student I can maybe afford to get a new package of vinyl every 4-5 months, 12 records sets me back about £80-100/$150USDish.

Mp3s make it so I can buy enough tunes to do a few mixes every month and I don't have to waste another $20 on S&H. Every batch of records that I buy always seems to have at least one defect that skips on the deck everytime in the same place...renders that track useless, very disappointing if it's the one I really wanted! But this is the nature of the beast.

At the end of the day, if you're having a great time listening to or mixing with a particular style of music that you really enjoy, who cares about the medium honestly?

Sadly the last remaining record store here in Boston is closing it's doors. They are hoping to move to a new space, but there are no promises :(

Kind of sad. I'm thinking of picking up something like Serato or the new M-audio Torq thing just to get more use out of my 1200's (even though I have cdj-1000's).

if I wouldn't play with vinyl my collection would be completely different and would be a lot more commercial, in the underground scene vinyl will never die

i don't think the labels are going to ask you for permission if they decide to stop producing vinyl :haha: as soon as they realise that form of medium isn't profitable for them
