| So I'm going to start to DJ and mix, and when I say start I mean I have never even touched a turntable or mixing thing, all I have done is listened to and own an enormous about of records and CD's/tracks. I'm buying some equipment soon, and I was wondering if you guys think it would be best to start with vinyl or CDs. I have heard vinyl because It helps you find the beats and match them yourselves, rather then having a display tell you the BPM and whatnot. |

It honestly depends on what you want to do. (I started out on Pioneer CDJ-100s and after about 2 years on them, im moving over to Vinal and CD's. Also im moving into the Scratch Live side of things. I personally dont like bringing all these CDs with me when i can just bring a laptop and a hardrive. Nuff bout me back to busniess)
Nothing compares to the feel and sound of vinal. But the CD turntables today have so many features and things you can do to manipulate the music its getting harder and harder to look past CD tables anymore. I know Tiesto does not use Vinal anymore its all CD and DVD tables for him.
The line is drawing thinner and thinner, and its honestly up to what you want to do. You can also look into Rane's Serato Scratch Live or Final Scratch 2 and use either Vinal or CD and manipulate your MP3s with your tables. So in that you get a both worlds kind of thing (IMO).
Best advice i can give is go to your local music shops (like Guitar Center) or your local record store and ask around. At the music shop, see if they have the turntables your interested in and ask if you can play around on them and see what you like. Same goes for mixers. Nothing beats hands on experiance before you purchase.
Whatever route you choose weither it be Vinal, CD, or Computer dont let anyone discreit you for your choice. Take pride in doing your best on whatever medium you choose and my last tidbit i can offer is this. HAVE FUN WITH IT. |
