Vinyl vs Digital - Which do you buy?

[djshiva]

i still buy both, but the overwhelming majority these days is digital. with the economy in the toilet, and promoters loathe to actually pay djs worth a shit, i just can't be arsed to spend hundreds a week on tunes when i can spend a small percentage of that and have just as many great tunes.

i use vinyl when i feel like it, serato when it's available, cds if i am not wanting to cart my shit around or i know the setup will be wobbly, and ableton when i play dubstep (because the tunes are not always dj friendly for a techno-minded girl and i like to do my own instant edits). my next step in the evolution is to mix ableton WITH turntables. still working on that, but it will happen soon. my boy gizzmo and i are also getting geared up for a turntables vs. ableton set (as me and adam jay have done before, to great effect).

so basically, the plethora of choices has just made djing that much more fun for me because i can do whatever i want, whenever i want. i have no complaints whatsoever.

oh and p.s. if some wanker wants to give me shit for using anything other than vinyl, i tell the ****ers if they wanna shell out hundreds for my tunes, then they can actually have a say in what medium i play. until then, they can go frak themselves.
