Vinyl is art...

[the_psychologist]

I think part of the reason this debate still rages is thus:

"Oldschool" DJs may be scared of updating to modern technology, and with this argument they can make the debate over which format is "art" or "warm" or whatever into the focus, and not have to ever face the fact that vinyl as a medium is limiting as **** in this era of digital solutions.

OK - I can mix two tracks together, cut between them, and maybe the mixer will have some delay I can use. WOW.

Or I can spend some months learning how Live works and then coming to terms with the fact that ALL BOUNDARIES ARE GONE.

I think the fear of suddenly having a massive pond to swim in is what motivates a lot of these tosspot articles. Proponents of the future of dance music technology can be written off as "anti-art" or "uninformed", even when they know full well where the future is headed.
