who here still plays vinyl?

[LabRat]

im sure this topic has come up before but as we have entered a new wave of digital blah blah, im curious to know if anyone plays vinyl... or even for that matter, CD's?

timecoded vinyl / cd's dont count lol

i for one play both cd and vinyl.

[dapimp]

CDs only. turntables take too much space

[Cupe]

[ChevChelios]

I have a small vinyl collection with nothing decent to play them on

One day...................

[Skank]

i play cds i got a small vinyl collection but to be active i gotta have my ish on cds

[djarmed]

CD's and now with the new cdj's i use the USB drive alot more.

Use to have stacks of vinyl.......sold it all and replaced every track digitally............that was the biggest pain in the ass.

i dont think vinyl will ever die out completely...well i hope not.

[wazza]

I went from vinly at the start off the 90's to C.d's at about 2000 ( denon dns 3000's & cdj 1000's ) to laptop djing with MIDI controllers at about 2005 to DVS set up on turntables & midi

So lucky I keeped all my VINLY

[SourceRaver]

Vinyl (and MP3 via DVS) and have recently bought some CDj's. Still getting the hang of them but dont think I'll ever be as acurate as when using vinyl.

Got about 5 crates of vinyl and will hold onto them for nostalga reasons. Only buying MP3's at the moment.

still play vinyl at home, though not buying new slabs of wax. Pick up bundles every now and them when people off load collections tho

[Ivan_Pageot]

I still play vinyl but do I buy it any more?... not as often as I would like to simply because of the prices they are going for.

how are these different from using USB on cdj's?

anywho, yeah i got a stack of vinyl collected between 85-91 plus the entire beatles collection i inherited (ran off with ) from my old man. but since going dvs the only vinyl i have bought are battle records.

First started with CD's, then added vinyl into the mix and couldn't be happier

same same... actually, using USB on CDJ's is the stupidest idea in the first place. why spend all that money on buying (essentially) a CD PLAYER just to plug in a HD or USB?? isnt that what MIDI controllers where made for anyway?

I wouldn't call it the stupidest idea. Why do car audio head units support cd's, dvd's, bluetooth and usb devices? Its useful to have the flexibility to use whatever medium suits the circumstance.

i think having usb option on my cdj is awsome for example

for house partys i load my ipods up with a shit load of music i wouldnt waste my time burning to cds eg 80s, pop, rock etc this saves me money on cds and allows me to say yes when the drunk punter comes up and asks for the song no ones heard in a decade

I still play wax - along with CD-R, mp3s & dictaphone.

Heh-heh... just one of these old babies:

I used to use this for interviews with people over a decade ago, so I have lots of tapes of interesting music bods that I sample and rewind amidst sets.

Keeps me amused, anyway.

[Cupe]

i got one of those i found in a draw.

where do i get the tapes from?

[Teezdalien]

I started with vinyl. Played out a bit on CDJs but never felt that I needed to have my own. Last few years I've dabbled with Traktor and currently use ableton live but using that more for production stuff at the moment.

I'm finding that I'm really going back to vinyl for DJing even now mainly because of rampart piracy and the amount of mediocre tunes being released now days, which also has a lot to do with piracy imo. But I also just feel that vinyl is a lot more fun.

[callmeyo]

control vinyl.. thankyou serato!
