CD vs. Vinyl - Round 1

**Yoshimixsu** · 06-15-2001

what do you prefer to mix/skratch with? "both" is not an option here, if you had to choose one, CD or vinyl, what would it be?

CRAP!

i've got both...Cd's to play in the car/house when i'm chilling. a lot of Dj's use Cd's and there seems to be a lot equipment coming out that is geared 2wards that....so what i'm trying to say is that you can mix with Cd's....no problem....but you cannot skratch with them...it's just "special effects"..kutting/skratching/beat juggling is strictly for the vinyl heads.

peace.

P.s but ya know what??...it's just a matter of preference.

you can't really scratch with cd's ... even with the CDJ-1000's, the feeling just isn't the same
i use both
cd's: cheaper, easier to get music, ...
vinyl: easier, more fun, better music

i wouldn't hesitate a second when i got the oppurtunity to transform all my songs i have on cd to vinyl though

Why do ppl get into arguements bout this?
CD's are not a DJ's tool,
DJ'S USE DECKS!
what would you say if u went into a club and saw some1 using CD decks, u would laugh!
So if u want to be called a DJ in the proper sence then get decks

PS u cannot scratch on CD's just make wierd sounds

so i guess Danny Tenaglia is not a real DJ....

**flareward** · 06-16-2001

i guess that he is a Dj....but i don't respect the ones that use Cd's in the klub..period!!!
It go's against the essence of being what you call a DJ...you can't call yaself a Dj and use Cd's....but like i said b4 "matter of preference"....

how come? isn't it all about the music and performance?
and u don't respect Danny Tenaglia?

piff! don't let Alex TC hear ya....

**flareward** · 06-16-2001

it is all about the music..no doubt!!!...Danny is doing his thing so i have to respect what he has done....BUT!!!!
if i went to a klub and saw someone behind a Cd playa...it just wouldn't be the same...it's like an unwritten rule "code of ethics".
if ya call yaself a Dj...show ya skills on the decks..those "other" Dj's could be putting in a mix Cd for all i know and just going through the motions

peace.
