Vinyl Most Desirable Format

[RDR]

In my mind its all about the method of playback. Thats what DJing fully depends on. Without the ability to manipulate it fully I just dont want to know.

On a personal level I HATE playing with traktor or ableton, Its not my method - Final scratch and Serato are more my thing.

But all of that is the USER end experience of playback, and although closely tied in with the purchase of the material it is still disconnected from the delivery, distribution and creation.

Like i've said before actually getting a record to the point it could be sold was (and still is if im honest) a minefield. The process of creating vinyl is (when managed without skank merchants at every turn) a beautiful thing indeed. However its also extremely expensive.

This may be a boring read to some of you, but it really does have relevance in this argument.

The production of music and the way its finds itself onto the dancefloor/ipod/listener does not depend on the handful of cutting houses/rip off merchants..oops, sorry distros../grumpy record shop owners that it did before.

There are so many amazing musicians out there that never had the chance to get their music to a wider audience, from all over the world.
