[_cheef_]

Still buying and spinning records...coming up on the ten year anniversary of when I got my first decks!

Although I still love mixing, I don't spend nearly as much time w/it as back in the day! That being said, I don't care enough about the whole "dj'ing thing" to switch it up and start going cds/digital...I'm content to be left behind in the dust and just keep buying the odd few vinyls that are worth the purchase.

were hearing of lots of people ditching CD's to buy decks.

[cojoh240]

In my opinion vinyl puts a different level on music... it just feels + looks so good!!
wouldn't consider changing to CD, maybe due to not ever having used a good quality set of CDJs but just didn't enjoy mixing on them!

Good to hear

currently i'm still in love with buying records since i haven't been at it for that long, so i can't see myself switching to anything else at all in the future. it just gives me a different level of satisfaction by owning a 12" copy of a release as a opposed to a cd or mp3. i may grow out of that though

[Wolverine]

still buy records, only the excusive ones, like dmz.

use serato with 1210s though

[charliefoy]

I use wax. I think a lot of the Dj's that used to use vinyl have switched over to serato though. Mala still cuts acetates, so does coki, loefah uses digital and youngsta uses cd's for the new stuff. Whatever suits you really, i love the feel of vinyl and responsiveness and control of my technics, personally.

[Immune_system01]

ye, it's all about the vinyls cuz when u pull the tune back, the reload sounds sick!

long live vinyls

[AxeD]

mp3 + timecode vinyl.

[Sageon]

Still haven't got my second turntable but have accumulated just over 50 12"s in the past 5 months and have more I want to buy. Buying them is so addictive.

[shakedown]

Vinyl, still buying, still playing, still loving. Always have, always will.

[salese]

Buying them is so addictive.

Agreed completely.

[dubloke]

always used vinyl, spent fuck knows how much on it, thats why ill never change! as much as I would save money I just much prefer having a physical piece of music, and alos I'll be able to put them in my attic and then find them again when im old

for some vinyl only mixes: http://soundcloud.com/dubloke

Agreed completely.

I love the feeling of pulling a new vinyl out of its sleeve for the first time, it never feels the same after that first one

[badger]

the classic adage of a poor craftsman blames his tools definitely applies here

i'm fairly rubbish at mixing vinyl but i still wouldn't consider swapping to digi even though it would make things a hell of a lot easier. i've got serato but i barely use the thing. it just doesn't compare to vinyl. for me vinyl is a lot more than merely a format for listening to music. everything about it appeals to me, from the warmth of the sound, to having a physical thing to look at and pick up, to the obsessive collecting and archiving of it. the only downside is the sheer amount of space it takes up. my expedits from ikea are almost full (again) and i've not go the space to put more up in my room so i've got no idea what i'm going to do after that, not that it's going to stop me - buying a guy's collection of a few hundred records at the weekend

Buying them is so addictive.

Agreed completely.

i'm not even joking when i say that you should seriously consider the consequences of your impending vinyl addiction when you choose vinyl over another format

DO NOT start buying vinyl. You will never stop.

[arktrix45hz]

New years resolution is to cut as many dubs as possible. No fuck given if people appreciate it or not. I'm doing it because I respect the roots and history of our community and I believe that to cut to dub, you have to have a level of belief in your music that is more than just slapping a tune on a CD and having done with it.


That said, I may end up using CDJ's, but only alongside turntables too.

What this man said.

£100/150 or so every month for me. More addictive than crack!
