Vinyl only Dj's

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

^^^your so right. its totally saturated. I like djs who just play quality music new or old. it seems like so many people obsessed with just playing new relases.

That's so true....most of the dj's who started a couple of years ago that i know get very anal about new and "unreleased" tracks that sometimes those unreleased are already released on vinyl....it happened to me that a friend traded an "unreleased" track thru soulseek which was released on vinyl long before......

hahaha, just because it is "unreleased" doesnt make it good.. EVERYHING was unreleased at one point

It is always great to see Howells bust out some records
in his sets. There are just so many tracks available in comparison to even five years back which may cause a lot of imitation production wise but also offer an opportunity with some time and effort in finding those hidden gems, the others missed or those up and coming artists who blow up a year later.

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

Couldnt of said it better myself.

Serato is the way to go imo.....

You can use control vinyl or CD's to play all your digital tunes making you a more versatile DJ. I have around 700 vinyls and got Serato for Christmas this past year and have been ripping vinyls and downloading tracks like mad.

Plus Serato's functionality is great. Looping, cue points, track overviews and syncing w/ iTunes using your smart play lists make organizing your music way easy : )

Look at it like this.
2 CDJ 1000's $2k or so
or
1 laptop capable of running Serato 6 or 7 hundred
Serato $550

Thats 7 or 8 hundred less than CDJ's you could spend on music ; )

Def dont get rid of the Tech's. You'll regret it one day.

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

I think it takes too much out of the equation in terms of djing and quite simply I think it's lame. Using a program to dj which sorts tracks by key and then does the mixing for you...? Not my idea of a challenge.

I used techs when i started 20yrs ago...starting in 2000 I have keyed my music. I just used the wheel( if you have one you know what I mean)
but convienince has led me to go digital......and mixing on a computer is very nice, there are so many on the fly things you can do...when I play out its on cdj's and all my tracks are keyed. theres no preprograming just plain fun, even when I play w/ software its off the cuff....I can just loop and edit all at the touch of a button which makkes it more excitng to me....its all about what you do with what you use and where and when you doit.

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

Re: Vinyl only Dj's

keep the 12's. you could go through a divorce, bankruptcy, whatever...and you'll always have your Technics. Something about being with vinyl that is more real than 'mxing' on a computer.

It's the difference between fvcking a hot blonde babe, and a robot with a blonde wig.

Totally agree with that mate ... you just can't beat the "feel" of mixing with vinyl
