CD's vs Vinyl and Why!

Re: CD's vs Vinyl and Why!

yeah that guy must have spent a while learning those decks. As you can see him hitting some kind of switches on the R2R's. I bet it took him a couple months to get that routine down.

Re: CD's vs Vinyl and Why!

Not to mention gathering all the samples and tracks. That is just tight!

[jeffrey collins]

Re: CD's vs Vinyl and Why!

I forgot about that part. Then you gotta put it all in the correct sequence. I'm imagining the guy MUST have done that same routine on decks first then recorded all the samples in the right way.

Re: CD's vs Vinyl and Why!

Sorry for my French but it basically comes down to analog vs digital recording....analog better sounding.....digital easier to get...now that all is said and done....

for those who want to learn more.... digital wave are a series of steps....(like stares)...analog get the best sound quality because the needle actually feeds from the groove of the vinyl....get it..... groove....

if a reply has been post like this im sorry for wasting your time....if not listen and learn....timing....crowd control....and sound quality...are the speciality of all djs....PS no clashing of waves.... BTW I hate forum like this.

Not sure where you were going with this, but the question was do "You dj with cd's or vinyl and why". We're not a bunch of dummies and can grasp the analog/digital difference!

post of the year imo. should have its own permanent sticky thread.

First of all, on behalf of [ms], let me state that we are, in fact, more than happy to pardon your French. We know you hate having to stoop down to our level on forum like this to explain all this difficult stuff, but we thank you for taking the time to do so.

Dispensing pearls of wisdom like these, it's clear to all who read this thread that you're clearly nothing short of a visionary genius well ahead of his time.

Digital = a series of steps?? Wow! Why didn't we think of that? We could just kick ourselves!
And the part about AVOIDING the clashing of waves...I mean, things make SO much more sense now!

We are most eager to learn more. We hope you come back and can help us with such tricky issues as:

1. We've heard that it might be a good idea to plug in the equipment and turn on the electricity BEFORE attempting to DJ a set. What do you think? Big mistake, or bad idea? We'd try it but we're scared of pissing off the Electricity Gods (as they are very powerful).

2. Also, is it a good idea to try to mix with one's thumb up one's own ass? I keep claiming it's not, but Jibby and some others around here claim that it leads to some great results. Any personal experience you could provide here would be most helpful.

Thank you in advance!

Well put Miroslav! Thank you, I had a few other choice words but you hit that one on the head, I couldn't have put it better myself.

I'm still waiting for the comeback

Re: CD's vs Vinyl and Why!

I play both, but don't have much new vinyl at all. I bought Torq (Serato like SW) to get more use out of the 1200's, and it's fun.

Look, the working DJ's need to be on top of their musical selection... and with vinyl taking a long time to get pressed (not to mention the cost), and any bedroom DJ having access to sites like beatport... the only way they can keep their selection fresh is to get tracks sent to them directly from their producer friends. The process of releasing a record takes just far too much time.

And the only way to do this is of course by using digital formats.

Also, have you looked at the 1200's in many clubs these days? They are certainly not in the best condition. And mixing with CDJ-1000's is super tight, you can get the pitch to within .02%, and never have to ride it at all during a mix. With everyone cranking out perfect mixes, is a big name DJ going to risk less-than-perfect vinyl mixes?

Re: CD's vs Vinyl and Why!

Shit gets way out of wack on the forum these days, but when I read "5 across the face" it was pretty funny!

Oh, I love vinyl but its too damn expensive for me right now......Serato(mp3) has been doing the trick lately.

Re: CD's vs Vinyl and Why!

vinyl is wonderful. but the problem with it is the same problem with cd's. They cost too much and you never listen to all the songs on it. If only it were cost feasable to have a vinyl cutting machine in your home to make your own 12's to play out so that you always had tracks YOU wanted.

You hit the nail on the head with this one
