Reply To: Is It Worth Starting Now

It really depends what you will be doing mostly, the times are changing, and for the club/mobile DJ, it really doesn’t make much sense anymore to lug around crates of vinyl, when all you really need now, are CD’s…or your laptop ( Serrato )

Now, if you are going to be getting into turntablism, there is no substitution, in my mind, for the feel of vinyl. The way you can manipulate vinyl with your hands, is much better than what you can do on a 5 inch plastic deck, where you are very limited.

Although, the technology brought forth by CD decks is pretty amazing, so I wouldn’t count them out completely, even in the turntablist realm, its just that most of the diehards, myself included, feel like a lot of the technology is taking away from the art of things, in the sense that now, you can get the machine to do things you would normally have to do yourself.

Just my .02 cents.
