I can't get over the vinyl

Home :: General Discussion :: I can't get over the vinylReply

I can't get over the vinyl Posted on: 24.05.2011 by Danyel Murante I can't get over the vinyl! I am dj since 98-99, I grew up with vinyl, I went to record stores... I played 30 records in one hour. I loved to browse my vinyl case. I have two releases on vinyl. Tese days, record stores are closed, music is changed, no more vinyl releases... Now I am a digital dj, I keep pushing buttons, I am good in that too, but i cant get used to digital stuff. Its like, soulless, plastic, unnatural for me. I can't get over the vinyl! Heeelp

The more mainstream EDM is pretty much all digital but many of the fringe elements are still 100% vinyl. I use a DVS (Traktor) but all of my music is either vinyl rips or tracks from artists via Soundcloud (or private). These stores aren't exactly near you but they are much nearer to you than me. All are 100% vinyl, maybe you will find some music you like. I've ordered from most of them. http://www.toolboxrecords.com/ http://www.mackitekrecords.com/ http://www.toonzshop.com/en http://www.musicamrecords.com/ http://astrofonik.com http://www.rec-order.nl/index.php http://www.tekenligne.fr/ http://www.omnicron-records.net/ http://www.dosisdb.nl/
Nu Spicknall 31.07.2012	Originally Posted by Luconia Yeah been rocking this way for the last 2 years....but for me it feels weird. i dont know, it's just i dont feel at best mixing offshore merchant account 2 mediums together...the control is just different, the sound is another subject. i love to have 2 CDJ & 2 TT setup, but wont mixmatch those two at any given time... I'm with you, I love the vinyl but it is so hard to find good vinyl these days and it just doesn't feel right mixing mediums...to me that is like an artist using charcoal and oil paints at the same time; it just doesn't mix well to me. I believe us old school DJs are in the minority, and always will be, but in order to compete we have to adjust; which is to answer all the "why switch?" questions posted in this thread. We make do with what we HAVE to in order to survive...survival of the fittest and adaptation apply to DJs as well as the animal kingdom

Heeelp Have you tryed a combined setup? 2 cdjs + 1 or 2 TTs? All the music you cant get on vinyl you can burn it on cds. Which obviously is not the same as vinyl, but still you need to do almost the same rutine as on vinyl. There are many djs which are know as "vinyl" only and their solution to the problem of not having availability of tracks is normally resolved this way... Still you can get the really cool releases on vinyl online and the rest on cds... After trying many softwares controllers and interfaces I am happy to just play this way without a laptop, personally it gives me a huge gratification to play this way.

Margie Pavell 26.05.2011	Originally Posted by timgkelly I haven't downloaded any mp3's in about 3 months....I bought about 25 records in that timeframe though. I'm done with mp3's. I still use them a bit, with TSP. But only early in the evening . once the place fills up, its back to vinyl. Since I'm spending 10-15 dollars for a record, it's definatly going to be good, but paying 99 cents for an mp3 it is more likely garbage. And, beatport sucks...so does stompy(albiet, a bit better). How many tunes has anyone downloaded from those sites and never play them? Sometimes, its a terrible tune, and sonically, it may sound like garbage too. as a converted vinyl -> CDJ -> midi person: just because the songs are cheaper doesnt make me buy more... way to rage against the light... but you'll be back...

Emely Metz 31.07.2012	^ LOL animal kingdom...well it's all about business nowadays :P I'm enjoying my 'rare species' category though, since i dont actually play for a crowd but myself in the bedroom (and my music choices is outdated at best, people wouldn't know it & probably hated it)...being old-fashioned, i dont believe i'll have the need to outdo anyone...of course some odd parties are welcomed (even though tracklist is another problem when normal people refuses to listen to anything but pop music)...oh well

dan samo 26.12.2011	i'm in the process of getting 2x 1210m3d's set-up with my kontrol s4. best of both worlds, imo: the best controller/midi with 2 of the nicest turntables if anything and i was to ever change this set-up... i'd drop the s4 for an analogue mixer w/ audio 6 sound-card. i started on digital but share your feeling that clicking mp3 tracks from a library all day really loses the 'feeling' of mixing in a new track! plus i'm a total fetishist for the records themselves... can't beat a nicely designed sleeve and a wellcut record
Yong Aptekar 27.12.2011	those orange records look fly! oh and that "s" you guys are talkin about is sink yeah? hahha i like buying vinyl over mp3s, but i love spinning timecode. im on the proverbial fence i guess.

Thi Akehurst 25.05.2011	S arm with the 23 angle would be considered straight arm, right? I do tons of scratchin, i just got and S arm so I can kinda mimic the feel of some 1200s
Dorcas Bassignani 25.05.2011	real djs use; dvs no midi 1 cdj 1 s tone arm carry 2 record bags with shoulder straps, no wheels one mp3 cd of tunes ipod and have pineapple on their pizza
Rolanda Clodfelder 25.05.2011	Since I'm spending 10-15 dollars for a record, it's definatly going to be good I know plenty of jocks who buy shite on vinyl
Kiyoko Wellisch 25.05.2011	Real DJs use CDJs because all this new technology is cheating. Original style.
Leeanna Ayla 25.05.2011	Real DJ's only use S and midi, or was that straight and no midi. I'm so confused. I believe we should start a rule that says real DJ's only eat sandwiches with mustard, makes about as much sense.
Kiyoko Wellisch 25.05.2011	Sigh. I don't understand people on the interbutts.
Dorcas Bassignani 25.05.2011	talk to frank... i believe once again you failed to see i was winding you up, and kept on biting...
Kiyoko Wellisch 25.05.2011	I've stopped understanding what we are talking about.
Dorcas Bassignani 25.05.2011	i know... ffs
Kiyoko Wellisch 25.05.2011	Because the S reduces record wear and the straight improves tracking so they are suited to different things and most people don't scratch?
Dorcas Bassignani 25.05.2011	Originally Posted by MrPopinjay You believe the straight came after the S? Oh you! :P no... but S is so common that obviously straight has to be better. why else would be on hardly any tt's?
Kiyoko Wellisch 25.05.2011	You believe the straight came after the S? Oh you! :P
Dorcas Bassignani 25.05.2011	fuck the S, embrace new technology...
Kiyoko Wellisch 25.05.2011	Keep the S! And no one has ever had that much of an issue reaching over and hitting the button :P
Dorcas Bassignani 25.05.2011	Originally Posted by MrPopinjay Why would you honestly want two start stop buttons? Where are you supposed to put the 45 adapter anyway? battle or mix layout, bloody kids... Originally Posted by Daniel956 I'm about to, I needed to throw down a couple of mixes down before I send the STR8 arm back. you mean the S surely? keep the STR8!!
