get out more :roll:
:shock:
read the techno arguments thread :doh:
NEWBIE ALERT NEWBIE ALERT
oh for the love of christ
hey man don't listen to them they're just sour old men!
firstly ....
hello and welcome to the board
i hope you enjoy your time here
secondly...
sorry but we have been discussing this very topic for what seems like an eternity now , so i'm afraid your question is a real forum cliche.
so maybe read back through some of the old posts and get a feel for what has been discussed already , and if you feel you have something new to add then go ahead and add it.
id of said something similiar to Henry, but the very words "vinyl vs mp3" just sent me a bit odd
yeah i know what you mean , it kind of starts with a small twitch and works its way into a scream.....Quote:

Hello mate, and welcome to the forum.
Yeh, this old chestnut has been chewed on so much it`s flavour has long gone.
Do a search and you`ll find peoples feelings on the matter.
can i open my eyes yet
its all about the vinyl :rambo: :rambo: :twisted: :twisted: :lol:
what i was gonna say...Quote:

oh come on guys, there's no need to have a go at networker for this.
mp3? vinyl? well let's go - round two thousand and five.
immediately i'd say vinyl..
but after probs with needle skipping and such a lack of good vinyl and great d/l's i have to say i'm worried.
:(
well i'd just like to say at this point, that unless everyone continues to support their local independant record shop, aswell as the artist and labels that you all enjoy, that create the scene that you are all a part of, you can all kiss techno bye bye. then you'll all have something to bitch about and you will have done it to yourselves.
every time you download underground music for free, you are kickin the people that you are into in the f***in nuts.
wakey wakey!!!!
its happening right now and you dont even f***in know it.
this was never intended to be a thread about which is better, or trying to bring back your age old threads for another lap around the block. it's a wake up call to all you drongos that are killing underground music. the major labels may be able to lose out on a few million quid here and there. thats a minor dent for the big boys, but the underground cannot sustain it indefinately.
go and buy some f***in tunes and keep techno alive!!!!!
Erm, I don`t think you need to lecture anyone here.Quote:

So you are right, but maybe you should have done some homework and gone through some back posts to see everyones attitude in regards to this. Lecture not needed.
And MP3 is here to stay, time to embrace it, and get on top of it, before it gets on top of us.

if your spinnin your new traxx on the dance floor from a CD before you get them cut and pressed, you've got a licence to rock.
if your sellin your 1210's for CD decks and "free" tunes for the rest of your life, you need hunting down and shooting for what can only be described as f***in treason
i dont think your going the right way about things here, Jonny's comment was obviously tongue in cheek, a jokeQuote:

That's the spirit :clap: :rambo:Quote:

yo dan,
even though you might have a ton of vinyl waitin to commit suicide, i didnt actually say it was illegal, but at the end of the day it could look like your pissin on your own bonfire if you are indeed spendin all your time downloadin joints off the net :shock:
the only way forward is to steal a copy of Reason off t'internet and jam live. absolute minimum cost, maximum revenue.
wikka wikka
wtf are you on about, ive never downloaded any techno mp3's illegally, like you so rightly pointed out, we need to support the scene to keep i alive, so i dont take kindly to people accusing me of stealing musicQuote:

na - new version of reason is phat. way good enough to bang out some tekkers on.

DO THAT WITH AN MP3 you SUKA'Z
MP3 and here is why.
1.) Vinyl snobs, particularly when they are techno heads listening to music that is often made with digital instruments, are annoying. Suggesting that one would even think about DJing with a CD could actually give such a person a stroke under the right circumstances. Thus, just to give the anal little fukcs something to bitch about, I will always side with MP3 until MP3 snobs begin to exist and outnumber the vinyl snobs.
2.) MP3 has made piracy easy. Piracy has given the industry, and numerous piss poor artists, an immeasurable excuse that sales are hurting because of pirated MP3s, and not a crappy selection of boring and predictable music. I love the techno has-beens of the past too much to let them know that a good reason why a number of their albums don't sell as hot is because they don't sound any different than they did 10 years ago. But, that's only the reason when they don't suck because they sound different than they did 10 years ago. Either way, yeah, it's MP3's fault and, therefore, saves some egos.
3.) Expanding on number 2, I can burn MP3s to CD, or use some digital DJ format, to play music at clubs. I enjoy doing this because it's amusing to see the artists bitch about people playing pirated versions of their songs which they spent days working on and properly EQing all the uncleared samples within the songs themselves. Pimpin' aint easy.
;)
Tocsin you beauty!
:clap: :clap: :clap:
Pimpin' aint easy. ;)[/quote]
shit yeah m8, lets back the underdogs until they become the favourites, then when all the independant stores go under we can all bitch about the good old daze as usual. that's gotta be true to form eh bro? i can see the threads appearin already. tee hee
pimpin' made easier

are you serious, even if the whole techno scene went to legal downloadable mp3's instead of vinyl, you'd still get people stealing music for free, just because they can.Quote:

but theres also alot of people stealing music they love, just because its so easy and cheaper for them.
so you will still get this no matter what you do
What do you think?Quote:
are you serious
Hint: Answer is both "yes" and "no." ;)
