| i firmly believe that "everything varies" applies to everything in life, and this is no exception.
it all depends on what you wish to do.
i personally do not like all the digital dj mediums (cd, mp3, finalscratch). it is much easier for clueless wannabes to pick up a couple cdj units and download pirated music and call themselves dj's (i dont aim to offend anyone on this board, actually, if you do this, i hope i offend you so, suck my left nut) whereas there would be much less of these wannabe's if digital wasn't arround because they would be less motivated to purchase vinyl which is a relatively expensive routine.
In some cases (i.e.: my friend dj Clown on Neurophoric) has purchases every single cd in his vast collection and that is something i support wholeheartedly.
In my case, i prefer the hands on feel of vinyl as well as this "warmth" and also the tradition behind vinyl. |

| I doubt most of the people here can tell the difference, I can tell when a dj spins a worn vinyl though because you hear the high frequencies get all grainy and ugly. |

| What does that have to do with anything? |
|

| what does it not have to do with anything? Vinyl wears out and starts to sound bad after a while.
Vinyl sounds better because the tracks have to be engineered better before the track can be pressed. It's not a very forgiving format, for example if you have a phase problem on low bass it will fuck up the whole record when you try and press it.
Also the fact that it costs so much to press vinyl filters out a lot of artists who either aren't good/not known. |

| "there would be much less of these wannabe's if digital wasn't arround because they would be less motivated to purchase vinyl which is a relatively expensive routine."
that point is completely void.
someone can just as easily purchase 40 records and claim to be a DJ.. |

| I think these arguments are good actually, as long as they don't end up being personal. |

| and paul it has everything to do with this.
if something is produced comepletely analog, then is recorded digitally, any of that 'nice' analog sound is lost to the evil digital world..
why don't people wake up to the fact that if a track is produced digitally, then moved to an analog format sound quality is lost.. no matter what the analog format is, vinyl included. |

| actually that's not true, if you transfered a digital track to reel tape, then recorded the output of the tape, you could get the warmer analog sound. Engineers do it all the time, reel tape is a good way to make drums sound better because it tends to "squish" the sounds the way a compressor would. |

| heh, that just shows that the signal is distorted when it goes analog.. |
|
Coolness: 201235
| analog distortion sounds good though, that is why the amp that spooky and I are selling is worth so goddamn much... because it gives a really nice tube distortion sound. |
|
Coolness: 339675
| i wouldn;t say that ALL analog distortion is good.
since every analog sound is different.. |
