Agreed, he does. But its just the way things are going. I don't think vinyl will completely die. I just think we may go through a recession (spelling?).

Digital for the masses. Short vinyl run for the enthusiasts. Job done.

Half of the reason I posted the link was to show my new signature. I am definitely trying to keep the vinyl thing alive...

It actualy quite good ...
Its not like he just goes on a random rant about "the death of vinyl"
for the full interveiw...
Some of the things he says make perfect sense.

I think he's just trying to justify moving to laptop only.
We've got vinyl pressed this year, probably a few to many copies for our own good, but meh.
Vinyl will always beat digital hands down for these reasons and probably more;
* It's far more hands on, if the DJ wants to do any crazyness like offset timing, pitch bending leadlines or reverse.
* It doesn't crash.
* It actually takes some skill to beat match tracks together.
* Cutting, scratching, part drop or sample drop has no latency.
* Pitching is analog, rather than a sample-hold algorithm with dodgey filtering.
* Frequency response is far superior than the ****ing awful audio chipsets they put onboard laptops.
* Electronic noise floor is near nothing.
Obvious disadvantages are the needle bouncing/skating from a lively crowd and twats coming up to you and requesting Wigfield - Saturday Night. But still more amusing that looking like a lemon with a rebooting laptop.
Just my honest opinion :)
Now I need to get my decks fixed, anyone know where I can buy a cheap Technics armature?Last edited by qUE; 03-09-2010 at 10:40 AM. Reason: Speeling

Roughly as many times as somebody decides to interview someone about it. I personally couldn't care less what anyone says about it anymore, but here I am commenting anyway. Probably just cause I want to see another 20 page vinyl debate just for the sake of it... Originally Posted by Martin Dust
