Re: All Vinyl Dj Sets

I agree with this as I think it applies in almost all cases.

However, for me personally I'd like to know if the set is all vinyl as from a technical perspective I'd have a better appreciation of the mix.

Ultimately it's all about the music though.

true that. but a challenger appears. "aye yo check it. listen real closely to how i break this slang shit down..."



take your raw vinyl cut, stick that shit in abletonz live 3 (winrar ensues), then, tediously tinker SHIT EVERYWHERE in cubase; after that...delete the file and system 32. you've just won the game @_@

but dude, why the fuck not say it's an all vinyl set? i welcome vinyl snobs; they preserve a forsaken steelo. and you know that shit's forsaken brah. and they should stop the war on it o.O

Re: All Vinyl Dj Sets

In February the local FM radio station around here is doing an all vinyl month, I think it's going to be cool because there are a lot of talented dj's around here with very different styles and definitely will have interesting music tastes and selection.
myself and one of my label mates, Andy Mara, will playing in a couple of weeks, so I'm really looking forward to pulling out some gems I don't get to play very often.

having said that, some of the nights around that are labeled as "Vinyl Only" are clearly just using it as a gimmick, so I see both sides of the argument.
The radio show is an ongoing thing for a month. If it were just a night I was promoting, I wouldn't list what format, same as seeing "Digital Set" on a flier.. who cares, just play good music

Sorry to hear that, man... things are ok here, steady... I just recently resurfaced around here after an absence of years, I think. Somehow I just fell out of the habit, and one day I realized I missed it. But I never stopped listening to the beats.

Re: All Vinyl Dj Sets

i wouldnt care about an all set vinyl, but id like to see a dj use em sometime during his mix,,,it def has a nice feel to see a vinyl being pulled out and waved to the crowd and then played

I agree

At the other hand vinyl dj's are sometimes overrated. I don't play that often, but when I play live I use Traktor. People like the music, but I don't get the same honor in comparison with a vinyl dj. Sometimes I hear people scream: "yeah that's a real dj, he's playing vinyl !!!" but overal he might be playing vinyl but his set sounds awfull.Sometimes it's not only the crowd but also the too much selfrespected dj. When they come up they look at your midi gear like: "fuck off with that crap, now the real dj comes in".

But after all I don't care about those guys. I had a great night and I know that the set was pretty nice and without trainwrecking, fucked up crossovers and tripping needles . At home I use vinyl timecode btw. It's really nice to play with, but I don't see that much + points of doing the same thing live.

Was going to say... Traktor + timecode vinyl is the solution for what you describe - if that's what you care about. Also, people with fully synced Traktor setups have the freedom to do other things with their music that the traditional DJ can't...do that well and there should be respect.

lettuce be tomato, if it's an all vinyl set, that PRACTICALLY guarantees there will be no swedish douche mafia, douchemau5, douchid guetta to be heard.

that can't be a bad thing imo.

Re: All Vinyl Dj Sets

As a long-time fan of vinyl, I can sometimes see value in listing a mix as "all vinyl" - not from a standpoint of superiority but rather for clarity of the methodology used for people who find some personal nostalgic value in records. People also sometimes describe their sets as live PA vs Mix and as all-original compositions vs. 5 things layered simultaneously, etc. Of course the sound coming out is of ultimate importance; if the methodology or approach to the mix is considered unimportant, then the listener can always ignore that
information.

amen....and well put

Re: All Vinyl Dj Sets

I love vinyl! but I aint no vinyl snob or anything. I remember posting some "Classic Prog" sets from early 2000 here and they were all done with vinyl but I did not make that a requirement or statement. The point was playing classic progressive music and it just happened that all of it was on vinyl.

Recently I've been on a vinyl binge!, don't know why really. Been playing a lot of disco recently and I actually went to Amoeba records in Hollywood to get me some more stuff. Was there for 3 hours.

I love it there's nothing like it, the feel, the look and the smell. But I love my mp3's as well.

Like most people said, its really about the music. If it sounds good and moves you, it don't matter if its coming from a cell phone next to a mic!

Re: All Vinyl Dj Sets

^ i would probably not go clubbing anymore if it got to the point that the music blasting from the speakers was coming from a dj who was mixing music on his blackberry phone from which it was transmitted via infrared to a nearby amp/reciever
