Hi guys. It started absolutely pouring here in Chicago today and, stuck at home with nothing to do, I decided to do something I haven't done in awhile: record an all vinyl mix with no edits and no planning. Some of you might know this is quite a departure from the norm for me as I'm usually perfecting everything in Ableton nowadays but it felt good to get back to the old school on this one.
So go ahead and enjoy...the 12 inches of pleasure =)
01. Ame - Sarari [SONAR KOLLEKTIV]
02. Vince Watson - Bubbles (Loudeast Remix) [ALOLA]
03. Oliver Klein & Martin Eyerer - 5 Null Klatsche [SESSION DELUXE]
04. Franck Roger - Flashback [EARTHSTRUMENTAL]
05. Justin Martin - Angels & Demons (Dub 1) [BUZZIN FLY]
06. Cardboard - A Song About You (U&K Remix) [CUBA]
07. BarBQ - Music From The Great Plains [BUZZIN FLY]
08. Jeep Grrlz - It Takes Me High [EL CHOCOLATES]
10. Samuel L Session - Velvet (See-Know Remix) [ELP GERMANY]
11. Layo & Bushwacka - Ride The Train (Bushwacka Remix) [OLMETO]
12. Tokyo Black Star - Blade Dancer (Dixon Edit) [INNERVISIONS]

And if you're wondering why the sound quality is so good, its not just cuz its 100% vinyl, this mix was also mastered on my awesome new Xone:V6 rotary valve tube mixer. Tubes...yummy =)
Thanks for looking! |

looks sick, i'm in
i always respect a vinyl dj 10 times more than a cd dj or ableton dj, anyone who spins knows it takes more talent to play vinyl well. |

Omega, I've gotta say I can understand both sides, and realize this debate will probably never end. Personally I think ableton djs are given a ty name by hipsters with hard drives full of pirated electro that can't beatmatch, or even warp a track properly to save their lives. I think this discredits a lot of djs, like me, who do cool and unique things with ableton. It bugs me when I tell a promoter or someone whos been in the scene for awhile that I frequently dj with ableton and they give me this weird look. I usually then have to tell them that I've been buying and playing vinyl for 7 years before they'll even look at me again. Most people just assume if you're using ableton to dj you've got no talent, which just isn't true. While I do appreciate the extra brainpower you get from not having to beatmatch, vinyl does have this amazing sound and physicality to it that I just can't seem to leave behind. I guess I'll just have to do both!
MissNick, I've ordered vinyl from you guys through discogs and got a lovevinylrecords.com sticker, which is now on the front of my 1200!
enjoy the tunes!! :) |

see that's where i think people get confused with the vinyl vs. cdj vs. blah blah blah debate, they immediately assume that ableton =/ skill. people who use DAWs as a crutch for bad fundamentals is obviously a bad thing, but those who use it creatively are fine with me
however what i'm talking about is strictly cd vs vinyl mixing. i guarantee a guy who has 0 experience with mixing vinyls, but can spin cd's all day, won't be able to spin vinyl for . the whole digital pitch, pitch readout, pitch bending, never having to worry about wow and flutter, and all those other bells and whistles you can't get with a tech12 makes a big difference.. so much respect.
edit: and also imo, i think vinyl sounds like and i never understand why people think it sounds better, and 99% of the time its either a vinyl purist who refuses to think otherwise or some sort of hippie-pothead that's smoked too many drugs and likes the idea/romanticism (if you wanna call it that) behind vinyl, not so much the sound. digital is as clean as it gets, if the artist wanted clicks and pops or this so-called "warm sound" in his track he would add it during the mixdown himself. |

yeah I hear ya, I'm definitely guilty of the vinyl romanticism which I really shouldn't be cuz I really can't afford the stuff. to each their own, but if I had to pick the laptop or the records it would definitely be the lappy
ms myra how was work? did your red balls push you through? glad you dug the funky vibes, that was a fun night, minus the whole searching aimlessly for the car thing. |

cmon now, seriously!?
I have weighed this battle out so many times in the past - this is the Main reason I still play strictly vinyl - sound quality. I used to dabble with digital stuff (I was in the Balance Record Pool for 1.5 years), but when going between the two (vinyl and digital) the digital tracks sounded empty and I had to work the EQs harder to make it sound (close to) as full as the vinyl did. the high end is way to sharp and hurts the ears, and the low end sounds lacking and almost fake. In the end, I ditched digital and went back to strictly wax - the sound is for real bro. check your ears, it's not some fantasy that has kept audiophiles stuck to the vinyl format for so long.
It seems to me that maybe you have spent to much time with your face planted in a speaker damaging your ears to the point that you can't hear the difference. It's pretty much a fact that digital cannot live up to vinyl/analog sound.
kudos to the poster for still rocking wax, the true format, not an imitation like everything else these days. I will always hold a vinyl DJ with higher regard than digital - takes a lot more skill to keep things clean in the mix - and you can't watch a waveform to beat match. |
