| actually the best reason to go analog is that vinyl can replay a bigger frequency range than CDs or MP3s. The utlra low frequencies that only your body can feel can only be replayed in analog format, so if u are using mp3s or cd then ur sound will be "lighter". |

Vinyls are cool to have, theres nothing more impressive then a huge collection of vinyl. I have seen some huge cd collections... not even close to cool(and you are bound to find far to much country and rap and dj sammy and britney spears)
Another plus for vinyl... you can't hang a vinyl from your rear view mirror(maybe a 7") like with cds (Why the hell do people do it?)
With cd's you are always bound to have more songs that you don't want, than with vinyl, after a while your cd collection will contain FAR more songs than good ones, so you end up with a collection in anycase and the more cd's you buy the worse your collection becomes. |

A good point, but I think you'll find that most cd djs are going with digital downloads for their tracks these days. I tried to find good trance on 'purchased' cds and it just aint out there, not the full length versions anyway... |

Thanks for the link =) Good to see a big label like Bonzai supporting CD releases. Its about time and hopefully more labels will follow suit. I think after they see their competitors sales going through the roof with digital releases they might do the same. |

Without a doubt VINYL ROCKS!! Not only are you expressing musiclly but, vinyl is poetry in motion! Art, skills, personal style,and dont forget that warm fuzzy feeling you get all over when you finally find that one piece of wax you've been searching for for months and its finally sitting in your hands(whata RUSH MAN!!). CDs to me if anything used as a tool but never as a frontman. CDs are for karaoke, and will have everyone going out and buying (CD) mixers. And finally, If it were easy everyone will be doing it..err you CD mixer worshiper you.LOL I have friends that swear by them butI feel they lack the skills to really appreciate the Art..TY and have a nice day.

If anything, CDs are harder to mix on. You can't see the buildups of the track like you can in Vinyl so you need to know the track better. The pitch shifters are less tactile that touching the edge of the platter or twisting the spindle like you do on Vinyl, hence take more getting used to.
Plus if you want to take advantge or loops, samples and reverse play it means you can take your techniques to a much higher level which in turn makes mixing that much harder.
Saying someone lacks the 'skills' because they mix on CDs is just showing your complete ignorance of new technology. Infact I feel sorry for you, since your obviously going to be left behind when more forward thinking DJs embrace the digital format.
Fair enough, if its all about collecting hard to find tracks for you, then Vinyl certainly has it. Your not going to find that kind of nostalgia in the digital realm. But if you mix because you love expressing yourself and creating technical mixes that push forward the genre, then baby... CDs have got it! |

Love the user text Nou.. hehe.
I use vinyl because i am old.. Actually i just like the feel of wax and of any analog gear. I'd rather spin vinyl and play on a Waldorf, than have some digital software program replicate it. You can try all you want, but digital will never copy that warm, real sound of analog gear. |

I dont want to start another war but you can realy say NEVER because it will be just as good one day, probly even better. They can land a man on the moon but they cant make a cd sound as good as a vinyl record? |
