[DJ Becka]

Call me cynical but..

Neither.

Great response.....thanks for playing.

Disclaimer..... I'm not taking the piss with anyone...

In my post i spoke about my preference. I agree with what's been said above and the possibilities offered by digital are great and will only get better. but in response to the above "When I played vinyl, the mix was in within 10-15 seconds." it would seem that you're not getting the most out of vinyl.

Obviously this is a discussion about personal pref and mine is with vinyl, firstly because it is what i know, and secondly because with three decks and effects there is a massive potential each set to create new sounds and cuts. This is not to say it's better than digital, but for me...having 3 decks and a box of records and no plan provides me with the greatest pleasure when playing and when i'm watching a dj i also like to see fast working creativity on the decks al la the 'Wizard'.

If what I like is better for the average punter i have no idea but for me it's best.

Actually, this wasnt intended to be a discussion over what people's personal preference was, but it seems to have derailed and is going that route.

I really posted the poll because I just wanted to know whether people were buying vinyl, digital, or both.....

It's a simple question really.....and I have my reasons for asking.....which I will be sure to disclose at some point in the future.....for now, anyone who has not answered the poll, please do so....this is actually interesting because there seems to be an even split between those whoe buy soley vinyl and those who buy both......

my guess is you're thinking of setting up a label but want to gain an idea of what medium people are wanting to buy, or am i wrong?

he's not setting up a fruit shop?

No, actually, I already have a label....surprise surprise.....I'm asking the questions for other reasons - partly to satify my own curiousity though.....

And as for the rest of you people who want to continue debating over what medium is better, what method of playing is better blah blah blah.....go stuff it....

I came on here to ask one simple question and yet you want to start some pissing match with me and I'm not havin it.....

This is actually the main reason why I dont even bother posting on this board.....

I'll reserve the choice words I have for some of the people on here though, out of respect to Mark and the other peeps who regulate around here.....

it's no surprise though, everytime this question is asked it reults in this situation, which is just human nature really, i doubt any forum anywhere else would be any different.


anyways, sorry for not realising you already had a label:ohdear: i must learn to look at peoples sigs:ohdear:

Steady now...

You can't come onto an internet forum asking questions like "who buys vinyl and who buys digital", throwing around massively crass generalisations like "DJing off a laptop is boring" and expect everybody else to keep their opinions to themselves.
