CD vs Vinyl

i started uot as a pure vinyl hip hop dj. but now i’ve come to like my numark CDX turntable better, because it sounds & feels like a turntable, but there are more possibilities with it than vinyl, esp. if you are remixing, becuase you can use the pitch-lock function to change the speed of acapellas to match to a beat, while still maintaining the original quality of the voice (sounds pretty good if you dont change the speed too drastically). also, u can download acapellas etc to use on your cd turntable that you might not be able to find on vinyl…plus vinyl is heavy and takes up a TON of room, while cd’s are way more compact…..plus you can use your existing collection of music on it. in the long run, cd turntables r cheaper.

[quote quote="teknoboy420":ux7pqu9e]I’ve been into electronic music and remixing for while now, but never got into djing. What are the differences between cd and vinyl turntables, and what are the pros and cons of both?

Just wondering because I was thinking about buy a set and don’t know which one to go with.[/quote:ux7pqu9e]

I was till recently a vinyl purest, not only for the fact that the sound feels more "warm" than digitally reproduced music, but because a lot of my old records are on beloved vinyl.

Now, this was till I got my Technics SLDZ1200 CD deck. Well, this has totally changed my standpoint. Not only can I burn all my precious and rare vinyl to disk, cleaning it up in the process, but I can if I like sell all my old and un-needed vinyl.

Digital files are easier for the home producer too, it takes the hassle out of getting acetates pressed. You can make a track, burn it to disc and play it in a set far quicker and easier than in the days of old. Plus, have you ever tried to carry a record box with a full sets worth of music in??!!!

I hate to say it, but digital is well the way its gonna be. BUT I WILL NEVER SELL MY OLD SKOOL RECORDS! EVER!!!

serato is the way to go

If you want my advice and it’s a straight choice between vinyl and Cd i’d say Cd everytime. Cd’s are much easier to handle and a take a lot less space to store. Plus if you remix you can burn your own remixes to Cd and play em.

Dubplates and vinyl…..all day long.

see…now that is just plain wrong and stupid[/quote:3oq9d9uf]

Ive been reggae vinyl and paying for dubplates for over 15 years just doing what everyone else does mp3 to cd what ya think people other than diehards go out and buy tune cho

Cd’s are the current thing right now. The reason most professionals still use vinyls probably is coz that’s what they started out with or they have songs that u won’t find on cd.

i use cd’s got meself two cdj 1000’s there the best

For me, it will be CD:

– less cumbersome
– Easy to find
– Not very expensive
– More than 20 musics by Cd in cda

…..this horse has been flogged beyond death…is there really any point in this thread being alive??? most peeps who re[ly are just boosting their post count. (obviously there have been some very valuable/insightful opinions but all bases have been well and truly covered)

I have got Technics decks & pioneer 200 CDJ’s and I’m slowly bying less & less records. Mainly because I can get most stuff of the internet. The only times I by vinyl is when you find those cheeky tunes that you know full well you aint gonna find on the net.
Ive got lots of vinyl and thinking of selling some of them on soon.

I spin Drum n Bass and play MP3’s and use records.
I love using MP3’s because I can buy a new Mp3 immediatly and some tunes just arent available on viynl

CDJ’s are awesome.

I play CDs and audio CDs not mp3, so i can play on CDJ1000mk2 😉
