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.
