I am a vinyl DJ that doesn't buy vinyl. And it's got nothing to do with P2P piracy. As for the feel of vinyl over CD, I really couldn't care less. I've never used a CD deck with a virtual platter. The only decks I've used are the + and - push button models with the pitch bar. As for Final Scratch, the buzz is usually related to the laptop. On my Mac, I don't get a buzz. I only get a buzz from vinyl if I hook it up to a Dell. That is effectively cancelled by plugging my Dell into a groundless adaptor when I use Final Scratch. Labels that may want to get people like myself back into
their market again would be wise to release tracks in compressed digital format. For everyone else who isn't a DJ, they're better off selling CDs. If they choose not to and notice a huge slump in sales, it's their damn fault.
course they do, if you sell 500 you make profit if you sell 1000 you make more of a profit. I dont see any bitching anywhere tbh. Try using cdj1000, its a good model like, but nowhere near as controllable and solid as a 1210. If you start pressing cds then thats cool, but how much bigger is your profit margin gonna be compared to vinyl, not much i suspect.
