i think i've always spent more money on tunes than on gear. i think i had over 500 cds before i even got my cdjs and mixer in the first place. lately i've not been buying that much new music though as it's been harder and harder to find stuff that i like. and now i've been upgrading my gear. xone:92 rotary wasn't cheap. i also bought a redsound soundbite xl, new sound card, quality balanced wires, etc. :p
i've spent a load of money on gear but i still think that i've spent more on music overall. :eek:
anyway, music that matters more than gear. :cool: |

| It really isn't that much and normal to spend more on music than the decks. The decks are only a tool whilst they are useless without the medium (message) aka the music. That being said its a hell of alot of money to spend to sound like absolutely everyone else. you beatport and juno. <3 secret german places. Seriously everyone downloads the same . CDR and Record Delivery > that. |

...more money on music than my decks cost. I've just surpassed 2500$ spent on beatport, starting a record collection from scratch over the past 2.5 years. I can't wait till double that time when I'll have twice as much music :D Collecting tunes is so fun... :crazy: |
What record collection???
You have a collection of 0's& 1's in not particuarly great quality, on a hard drive which will crash at some point.
Something great to pull out and show the kids/grandkids...
'look kids heres daddys/grandads old music collection . Of course i cant play you any of it, as its incompatible with current formats... but take my word for it, its awesome. I can hum it for you if you like...' |

Nearly as hard as I laugh when I hear people talking about music as a "message"
It's just the next level down from talking about a mix "taking you on a journey" or "telling a story"
It's just a bunch of noises that sound cool - deal with it. |

Best quote I've heard around here in a long time. Priceless. :haha: |

I wasn't talking about it in that sense, have you heard of Marshall Macluhan? All media is a message of some sort and is not just restricted to music. Then again i'm sure some DJ knows more than a scholar who helped change the way people viewed all forms of media. Chav like, neat.
as far as story mode, it is not a story per say..but will you argue just dropping tracks vs finding relevant music that fits? I really enjoyed your last mix, but if you just want to drop tracks that have no bearing with the stuff you are playing...i am sorry you are . |

Lol ok, I'll let you off - I read it as someone trying to be a bit too deep but fair enough, I know what you mean.
Of course you've got to play stuff that fits, my comment wasn't about that but people using over-emotional words to describe these things - it wasn't really intended as a hack at you, I just thought I'd throw it in to show my amusement at the many people on here who tend to get a bit too deep from time to time... but that was all based on my misunderstanding of your previous comment so it makes it all completely irrelevant.
Ah well :) |
