Hi
After looking for some good new trance i've noticed that some if not most are only in mp3 format and can not be bought on vinyl.
Are dj's not selling tracks on vinyl anymore and only cd and mp3 format?
Thanks |

We all understand Vinyl sounds better than Mp3 and Wav as well. Anyone who denies that is a deaf idiot.
The problem is the cost and practicality. I don't particularly wish to buy every track on vinyl, nor do I have that much money to burn or space to stock everything.
It would be fantastic if I had the option of buying some of my recent favourites on vinyl though :( |

I think that's very presumptuous of you to say. It all depends on the bitrate of the mp3 or the quality of the wave. You do realize most producers are working with wav files in the first place. These are digital sounds converted to analogue. Ask the producers here when they submit their files to a label, what format it is in. probably and most definitely a wave. I think the highest bitrate for mp3s is 320. That is pretty much indistinguishable from CD quality. So it all depends on the original source and conversion process.
If you have an original analogue sound and you are converting to digital, you will probably lose some quality. Digital to analogue to digital again, same thing. So im pretty sure if you go from Digital to analogue you will probably lose some quality in the conversion process. So the best would be to remain digital in the raw form. (wav)
Opened a can of worms here so anyone is free to bash the hell out of my post. |

| I'm talking purely about "analog warmth" in older tracks. The process to get it to vinyl doesn't bother me at all, as I only care about the end product and what I hear. |

If you're talking about old tracks as in studio produced stuff with regards to bands playing live instruments then theres an argument to be made there. Otherwise dealing with electronic music, its all digital in the first place. Digital to analogue you have some sort of loss, digital to digital, you can retain 100% unless you want to compress.
Personally i love to spin vinyl. I like the feel of it and the idea of having something tangible large in size and (correct me if im wrong) having a longer shelf life. I use serato scratch as well knowing that the quality is definatley reduced (perhaps not audibly) but none the less reduced when im playing wav or mp3s to analogue (template discs) to audio out (mixer to speakers). |

Yeah, i sure love full frequency response, no surface noise, and no dirt/warp/skipping when my mp3's get old. |

Well then you can't say it sounds better, you can only say it sounds warmer. I agree with you, I too prefer the sound of analogue to digital, but by no means does that translate to it being inherently better. It just sounds different. |
