I'm not a "real" dj or anything, but I like Vinyl more... But, cds are more convenient. Especially if you gotta load/unload all your equipment and travel. You can put more songs on a cd, and cds are smaller, so it doesn't take up as much room (you don't really need crates).

I "WAS" a DJ but the cost of Vinyl's led me to the digital route.

 

[SHARKINFESTED]

yea the cost does add up, every week gotta buy new vinyl and shit. prices still never went down until this day.

On the reals though. $6.99 - $10.99 for some damn singles. Albums $18.99-$25.99!! Those were the prices when I was getting vinyl, I hated lugging around my coffin.

Mp3's made shit hella convenient.

isnt there some shit that lets you do it with mp3s now?

Yea... but back then there was so many people trying to make a come up with being a DJ I just gave up. I remember doing a party with 3 iPods and a mixer. Everyone was hella tripped out, like "WHAT?!".

After that I switched it up to doing software

And after that I laid my DJ dream to a rest :knockout:

all that digital bullshit u aint a real dj......juss my opinion

LOL wtf? With programs like serato you still hafta use records homeboy...It's just that the music itself is coming off of a hard drive...The records are time coded and sync with the computer. No difference between the two. Your "opinion" holds no water
