i get a buzz out of working the vinyl to get it in time - i really enjoy it. however i can see that it can consume time spent working on other areas of your dj set. from my point of view i'd rather mix vinyl when i'm djing and have to beatmix; if i want to play the kind of set where i'm thinking about other stuff i'd rather do a live set.

That said it doesn't matter much to me what people are doing when i'm dancing as long as the tunes are good and the order they go in gives the set the right flow. In fact i love going to nights where there are some people mixing with vinyl, others using ableton, doing live sets etc. Variety is the spice of life eh? :cheese:
