I use M Audio Conectiv & Torq. Basically M Audio's version of Serato. I love it to death.

I do a 2 hour weekly radio show and use CDs. Used my laptop before but mixing with CDs is far more satisfying and the sound quality is much better.

I like Vinyl, but just recently am transferring my vinyl collection to CD. I am looking into serato because I don't want to go into a club and not know how to use it.

VINYL ALL THE WAY!!! Cheesy Grin

Anything else is non-sense.But then again I don't play the "hits" you hear on the radio. I spin Classic Hip Hop,80's,Electro,Freestyle,Acapellas & breaks all mixed into something funky. You really get to display your skills when you're spinnin songs people already know. It educates the audience more into what REAL Djing is. Digital djing is too artifical for me.

I have used vinyl and 1200's for 20 years. After Serato, I converted all of my old vinyl crates I have not even touched them. The best thing about not having a cd player is when somebody comes up and say can you play my cd I have an easy way to avoid requests.

i used to use vinyl but now i just use cdj's as there easier to carry faster for mixing, have much better sound quality and any work u do u can take along to a club and try your new track out.

unless the tracks are "compessed" to around 1441kbps the sound quality isn't better and if you looked at the waveform of a track from a vinyl record and compared it to the same track but from a CD, the amount of (audio) compression there is on the CD version is unreal.

even at 320kbps the sound quality of a "compressed" track doesn't compare to its vinyl counterpart.

serato for the win. best of both worlds. all the tracks you'd need a cd player to play and the sensitivity of vinyl.

Vinyl all the way. I do have a DVS system which I occasionally use for playing certain tracks during studio mixes (however I'm mainly just using it as an exernal soundcardfor my laptop lol)

When I play out though, I never use anything but vinyl.

100% vinyl.
where ever i had to play. from warehouses to desert parties.
i always brought vinyl.

the only times i wish i was on cdj's, is when the crowd shakes the stage. and the needle skips.
besides that, i love the feel of vinyl. ill spin it until they stop pressing it.
