I can't get over the vinyl
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 | |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 25.05.2011 | Why would you honestly want two start stop buttons? Where are you supposed to put the 45 adapter anyway? |

| Alisha Khemraj 24.05.2011 | 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. |

| Antoine Wasiewicz 24.05.2011 | Vinyl + midi. Hell yeah. (I miss my set-up. Moving house sucks). |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 24.05.2011 | How does the launchpad stay on like that? |

| Antoine Wasiewicz 24.05.2011 | OP - I'm with you, man. But you've gotta get a DVS system, mate!!! Traktor 2 looks awesome. FS was not great at all, but it was the first. You'll still miss the record shopping, but you get a whole new world of digital digging. Grab a drink, and hit the online record shops, blogs, artist pages, soundcloud, etc... You'll find LOADS of great tunes - free and paid. Now is SERIOUSLY a great time to be a DJ. DVS for us old timers is super exciting. We can do everything that we always loved doing (ie - standing in front of turntables and a mixer) as well as getting involved in all the new stuff (midi/cuepoints/effects, etc...) - lots of fun! |

| Thi Akehurst 24.05.2011 | POW! Vinyl... |
| Sherley Headden 24.05.2011 | I still enjoy spinning every now an then, but much prefer digital. I believe dvs is great for those who still like the hands on approach, but it doesn't really bother me. |
| Lora Vandewark 24.05.2011 | I only converted to the digital way of believeing at Christmas, and only then to DVS. And only then so I could play my mp3's, as vinyl is indeed getting rarer and pricier! But then I discovered DJTT and have since bought a Launchpad, MPK, midi mixer and much more! (Would have been cheaper to keep buying vinyl!), and I love it. But I'm never EVER selling my Technics. Ever. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 24.05.2011 | Real DJs have sloping shoulders, tinnitus and a wonky neck. I'm cool without that. |

But there's one major advantage of the digital route that is hardly getting mentioned: One man, no matter how strong, can only carry two or three full record bags One of my mates, DJing for many years, now in his mid 30s, actually slipped two discs by carrying vinyl all the time. Love those black discs, but I also love having a functional spine. |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 24.05.2011 | The denon dns3700 seems rather popular. |
| Doug Bieling 24.05.2011 | I never used final scratch but i have got traktor scratch with control vinyl and cds and am very very impressed with its natural feel. Using the control vinyl is amazing i believe if thats what your into. |
| Corey Tronchin 24.05.2011 | Technics had some, but they were hardly successful. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 24.05.2011 | CDJs with vinyl style rotating platters? |

I guess that only reason for switching to digital, was the fact that in those days vinyl became more and more rare. That is way I am on digital I believe I chose the wrong community for this kind of story, since here ofcourse, everything is digital Is there any nostalgic djs |
