cdjs or serato/traktor scratch.

Re: Turntables or CDJ's?

there's room to evolve from whatever you get, but the straight vinyl dj seems now like something to graduate to, not from. it's expensive, it's bulky, and it takes a while digging through tracks to get a feel for your style i think so that's mad bank there.

the vinyl market, far as i can tell, is for the first run releases. the djs, i would hope, are playing the fresh grooves. sounds better on good monitors or club systems but unless you're playing there...

i went cdj so could burn, check stuff, and pitch at minimal cost after startup. hell, dj a while and you'll know people with turntables they're looking to get rid of. but don't debate long, dude, get some gear and you'll love jamming however...

Re: Turntables or CDJ's?

If I were starting out and had the cash I'd get a pair of technics and Traktor Scratch/Serato.

I would have said CDJs a couple months ago. However...vinyl, even time-code vinyl, is so much more fun.

Re: Turntables or CDJ's?

There will be people using vinyl for a long time(always?), and there will be people using some sort of digital format. It seems that it's broken into those two sides. The vinyl won't change, and it will be played on 1200s. Digital on the other hand, seems as if it will just go to the computer, using programs like serrato / traktor or whatever. In my opinion, the CDJ will become obsolete in the not so distant future.

Re: Turntables or CDJ's?

Take the shortcut and follow the industry's evolution:
Go straight to CDJs while they're still around coz most probably within few years even those ones will become "obsolete"...

Re: Turntables or CDJ's?

i prefer CDj's at this point. for a few reasons.

1. price
2. luggage is lighter
3. mixing. plain and simple it is easier to mix off CDJ's. not only is it easier, it garners better sounds and results as you can loop the tune and layer sounds at a level you cant handle on vinyl. the functions of the MKII and MKIII are wonderful. it is easier to adjust the mix as well in terms of touching the record. you can adjust in a more subtle manner. instead of mixing for say 1.5 minutes on a peice of vinyl, you can mix for a long time on CDJ's.
