my opinion, is it's a personality issue...if you're a DJ that needs contstant change all the time...serano is for you...if you like to sit back and get into a groove and mix, mix, mix, i think cd's and vinyl is what we'll prob find you using as a medium at your club.
i really believe that the 'digital' world only came about because there were some dj's that were bored up there and wanted more action to feed to the audience. Nothing wrong with either medium just different metabolisms of dj's in the booth.
next thing to come out? an expensive laptop with a built-in hardware dj mixer and video mixer...that's my guess.  |

ive been using vinyl now for a while and its siik fun! so much easier to cue your tunes. i still use cds but i think vinyls are the way to go. im only using cds for when i got parties that involve hip hop n all that stuff... just makes it easier with the music thats avaliable

| Ye.. I've had similar discussion with other Hip Hop heads. Time are changing.. & technology is the way of the future. Most of the time it's either adapt or get left behind. Although I'm sure the there will always be some old school heads that stick with vinyl as their 1st weapon of choice regardless of what everyone else is doing. |

| I was forced into using CDs as my Vinyl Collection got wrecked but these days i am mostly using Traktor Scratch and mp3, I wonder how long it will be before DJs ditch the CDs also |

i dont think that will be very long. your still gonna have your djs who spin the ol' 12" but most acts nowdays are using mp3. sasha for example is useing abelton. saw a video interview about it. he built his own controller n everything for it. so djs are going to look at him and think, "well its not too bad if sasha mixes with mp3" then the trend will start and vinyls shall slowly become something less

Yep, I totally agree, also James Jabiela is using software and MJ Cole uses Ableton Live.. things are moving so fast...personally i love using traktor scratch, and the amount of tunes you can fit on a laptop saves my tired old back haha

the way i see it... If I was a carpenter, would i still be using a handsaw and a chissell instead of an electric saw and router?? well maybe, but no one would employ me to do work on their house! If that means I'm not a real DJ so be it but i'm doing ok, maybe we need a new name lol

thats a valid point you have there. having said that, a cuboard made with hand tools will always be better then a cuboard made with power tools. simply because there is more heart and care into the project. same with vinyl, you have more feel then to digital stuff

I have both fomats in my studio but the future is digital and thats why i splashed out on the goods from Mr Pioneer. When i play out i will be CDJ based first & formost. I can do a bootleg / mash up/new track in the studio and play it out that night, plus i have several hundred tracks in a handy wee wallet Sadly vinyl doesnt offer that
However, i do love taking a record out the sleeve, put it on the technic and hear the crackles at the start before the tune plays.
The future is Digital
The future is Pioneer!
IMO

I also have both, but with cds you get much more music, and promos way more ahead in time before they get released.
And also cd decks like cdj1000 they work a lot like the vinyl. I know it's not exactly the same feeling but...
Also with cds you can get more tracks on the same cd, and have more music in less space. And they are cheaper to buy and also to manufacture.
I'll miss the 12"s  |

There are a number of labels that have gone exclusively digital recentlly, it looks very much the way of the future, commercially and logistically it makes sense, unfortunately there will be many DJ's that will hang up their headphones as vinyl is phased out. there's some cracking bits of software out there that allows you to mix mp 3's live, I can't even get on with CD's so I've no chance with mp3's.
I mainly collect tunes so it won't be a big deal for me apart from it will also be the end of my collecting, I'm not keen on the sound of mp3's , I'm told there of CD quality now a days, but it doesn't give you that warm feeling of vinyl.
I'm Vinyl til I die!

Well said... what's the future gonna be like? turn up with a memory stick of a mix you've been making all week on your PC? where's the talent in that? CD mixing is a part of this progression & get's no respect from me. Apart from arrangement, everything else is pretty much simple & involves little talent.
We have to be careful here everyone, some are making it sound like we don't have a choice but to convert to CD/digital, but we do! I don't buy CD's, if you buy CD's, then they will phase out vinyl. Why would anyone buy CD releases when they can convert vinyl to CD if they really need to anyway? and digital releases? are you f*cking serious!?
A real DJ with talent uses vinyl. Think about this then: if everything goes digital, what with the advancements of technology/dj equipment, dj'ing will be simple & so everyone/anyone will be able to do it. People will not respect the dj anymore as it will be just another someone standing there playing a mixed mp3. Dj's will fall to their own lazyness.
BUY VINYL, KEEP DJ'S & DJ TALENT ALIVE!
