You don't need either of those.
Spend the money on drugs a bag of dicks. |

You should get a laptop because you're probably a ty DJ anyway and turntables would really expose that. |
:stongue: ive been told i have rhythm, so i think im alright.
i decided to go with the laptop because, even though i really wanted the turntables, if i bought them i would be left with the tables and a mixer, but no money left to buy vinyl that cost up to 20 bucks for one here. |

Smart choice. Now you can get Traktor and when you feel like showing off to some euro-hipsters, you can still mix on turntables. |

laptops = easy to steal
also mixing on laptops is for people who cant dj |
Dont be silly, I was a technics 1210 dj for years and played out etc then when cdj's came in I had some mk2's of those. Anyway now I have a laptop and some vestax VCI-300 mp3 turntables to go with it with serrato itch and I can mix just fine.
Turntables are more fun, but mp3 djing is not for people who cant mix. For example I refuse to use the auto bpm funcion on mine as I think that is for people who cant mix.
Mp3 mixing is pretty cool too because I can load in my own tracks or do a remix based on loops on the fly and both laptop[ and decks fit into a laptop bag and all of my tracks. No more paying £350 quid to take my vinyl to ibiza like I did one summer. |

Don't be a nerd. Get them decks, bro. Let me tell you something about digital. When you download your music off iTunes or whatever capitalist market consumes your interest, you're buying a license. That's all. You're buying a license to a song from an artist, granting you, the purchaser, the right to unlimited playback
and bla bla bla bla bla all that legal bull that was conjured by some lawyer who couldn't give half a of 2 s about Hybrid's latest album Disappear Here(You can check out the new video for the single Break my Soul on their Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xptIEkCHTZ4)
Epic soundscape-breaks legends HYBRID drop their new album, Disappear Here, on 29th March on Distinct’ive Records.
Lloyd S Pointdexter, some guy in a grey suit and parted hair, whose well being and salary come from typing up documents which legally entitle a person's right to envelope their conscience with music, doesn't care about music, the music, your music. You may feel you are supporting Hybrid by purchasing their latest album, Disappear Here(You can check out the new video for the single Break my Soul on their Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xptIEkCHTZ4)

And you are, they give $3 from your iTunes purchase. But so does iTunes, so does the lawyer, so does the government and the lifestyle of the consumerist market and impulse buying without passion.
the passion. Don't you feel it anymore for the music? the artist, the label, the .com, compression and 5 megabit downloads and "1 click purchase." Don't you feel empty? Don't you feel empty with your 912 megabyte FLAC, MP3 or WAV. Even with all the progress that's been made to make sound engineering tools available to the average consumer, do you really think they'll ever be able to find a way to attach your mind, your heart, your soul, your happiness and memory to a file?
No, that's pathetic.
can you look in the mirror in 20 years and really not point the finger at yourself at the demise of noise, of sound, of music? Why wait until then? Why not now? Digital, get the outta here.
And just one more thing. Vinyls degenerate over time. This is all dependene on your setup, your playback habits among other things. Yes, over time, it will start sounding worse and worse. But that's your copy. Your special copy. Your very own copy.
Don't you ing people understand this? Vinyls attach themselves to YOU. TO YOU. Your turntables, your vinyl, your soul. It's yours. Nobody has one just like yours. Gah, off.
I'm tired of all you s with your JamesHoldenDigitalDownloadExclusive bull.

| Vinyl is overrated. I learned this after buying over a thousand. Learn from my mistakes. Buy vinyl for classics or have emotional value but don't buy a vinyl if you're gonna play it for only a month. |
