This now means I have to balance out my digital purchases with buying vinyl, which is not neccesarily a bad thing...I've been mixing for the last 10 years using vinyl and can still mix better using it. However the main advantages the CDJ brings me is being able to play some of the classics at a much cheaper price and picking up some of the rarer releases where I cannot find the vinyl for love or money. The best of both worlds!
yeah man, get ya 100%...u obv same boat as me...i just paid for instance 45 notes for jack me/ww acid on suf...i actually enjoy/love and feeel more like ''ive done a mix'' on the 1210's


but the cdj or serato is on the way summa these days purely cos like u said A cant ger the ****ers on wax/havta pay sillly money and obv lotta shit aint vinyl'd now


see the point


as soon as i can afford im goin dig....but with the preferentiation of me vinyl

i dont actually mind payin big (ish) dolla for some tunes, but the thing is for me ive 5-6k wax and i just love the loook/filing into labels/styles etc


any tunemonster will no wot im sayin but times HAVE changed and im quite sure within a yr or so there will b no vinyl releases

and i aint gonna b missin out


at the end of the day, a tunes a tune, but u doin the one cdj thing...which limits u m ixwise (or wotever u have on wax-cd) just get serato tehn u can do the lot cos ur still ''on vinyl''


i still say **** technology but im in full understanding that theres no way that i can keep up with the current releases (and if i like a tune, i have to have it, whether i pay me rent late/starve for it lol) so its the way ''forward...


wax obv costs £ to make but producers just make a tune now, save the ****er and sell it for 1.50


cant blame them...


acid techno all the ****in way man



but i will still buy vinyl classsics haha

33 yr old cunt that i am
