DJing Vinyl only Dj's

[kassios]

Had a discussion with a friend who uses cdj''s and ableton,,, no vinyl( good producer btw imo gettin there) and he told me that i should "throw" my decks cos they are useless (Technics) So i wantd to see how many of you guys still use the wheels of steel!!!!!! And see if it's worth throwing this legendary deck in the trash

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

just get serato and play off your decks. then you can play digital and vinyl on the same equipment, and have the advantage of being able to buy vinyl-only releases (though they are becoming less and less common).

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

I got me a pair of cdj's, but I did not throw out my wheels of steel! fuck no!. Keep them and upgrade to digital.

I still love vinyl and I collect those rarities.

I invested too much in vinyl, that I wont sell my decks or my collection. They mean too much for me to replace them with money... but a whore?.. hmmmmmm

That's wat i said fuck no!!!! Those babies are brand new!!!!! so i might as try and use the serato but how's the sound off serato ? recently saw Moshic using it (not sure if it was final scratch) .....Cdj maybe is the best upgrade ? but much more expensive though..

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

sound on serato is indistinguishable from cdjs. there is no difference.

Agreed. Thats what I did.

fuck no, don't get rid of your decks, you'll always wanna spin on them. They are just so nice and really do keep your mixing chops up, as it is harder to mix vinyl than cd's.

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

I don't get the opportunity to play that often anymore, but I still keep the decks in my closet. Just in case I get the urge to spin some of my classics. So my answer is no don't get rid of them!

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

same here. I still do all my mixes on vinyl, and even when I move on to other equipment in the future I will never just pitch my turntables.

i respectfully disagree with this.. for me after playing cd's i found it easier to play vinyl.

but as others have said.. do not toss them, whoever said they are useless is very wrong. there is A LOT of great music that still does and always will come out on vinyl.

question.. did this person ever play vinyl or has he always played digital format in some way shape or form?

Always been digital , no interest in vinyl at all..... I think mixing vinyl is harder but then everyone has a different opinion.... i used cdj's for 1hr and i was feeling very confortable with mixing....and tracks that weren't mine. Serato is on the way woooriiii!!!

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

Computers are ok, but I dont know if i will use these. I dont like that Sasha uses them even though he really doesnt need to prove that he can mix...
