Why do DJ's still use Vinyl? Why not move to the digital age? Is it better or is it just "the thing" everyone does?

Hi Sip,

As a vinyl purist, I will say this:
vinyl sounds WAY better than CDR's. The sound is much more warmer/thicker.

Of course, to a layman, there won't be much difference in sound. But (most) DJ's who have been doing this as long as I (over 10 years), can easily diffrentiate between cd and vinyl. Put me in a dark room, and i can easily tell the difference between vinyl and CDR.

It is also easier to manipulate a record with your hand/fingers while you are in the mix. This is crucial for house dj's like myself who sometimes play two or even 3 records at the same time for several minutes at a time...(also important for hip hop dj's who scratch and cut in and out of songs quickly). With CD's, you can't touch the media...instead you have to rely on buttons and/or jog dials (on the actual CD player itself). Then you gotta wait for the damn cd to come out of the machine, which can take 4 seconds (every second counts for a dj!!!)

The advantage to CD-R's:
-much less heavier to lug around (for example, last night I had to transport 400 records!!! Let me tell you it wasn't easy)
-much easier to carry 400 cd's rather than 400 records if you have to travel by airplane for example
-costs less
-if you lose your cd's, you always have it backed up in your computer (unless you're a doorknob!!LOL)


All that said, I still love vinyl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to come and watch sometime.

What's Vinyl? /me is ignorant.

The big old records from the 70's

djsinister, thanks for the info. I personally haven't heard them side by side and of course am morely a "layman". So CDs at 44Khz and 16 bit sampling are not good enough ... but what about higher rates? I see a few sounds cards popping up with true 96Khz 24bit audio channels ... would they be able to compare to vinyl?

I also hear you on the "hands on" thing with the records and agree that a cd player just won't cut it. But what about a true digital solution ... as in digitized files on a hard disk or any other sort of digital media. All you'd need is a some PC hardware (laptop, portable, small PC) with a good audio card hooked up to the right kind of amp and there you go. My guess is with the right software you could do much more complicated and fancy mixing and effects but again, speaking purely from a layman point of view

But yah, I've always been curious to know why vinyl is still around but I guess it's cheap, easy, and works so why bother

[djsinister]

actually vinyl is way more expensive than cd's.....................
A 12" costs $14 tax included here in Montreal, Canada

Why don't you just come and dance, bruh!!!??!!!

Ain't no wallflowers up in this piece.
