So true...I love me some vinyl. The sound is thicker, those crackles and pops are so nice sounding, compared to cds and digital distortion. DJ Shadow made an appearance. He is one of my idols. I hope vinyl doesn't completely disappear. F*ckin kids and their fruity loops.



Music is Love

I think serato is actually the last line of defense against the loss of vinyl!

At least this way, people might still *own* turntables, and thus be able to play records!

I doubt vinyl will ever completely disappear. It's still the main thing man, lots of cats swear by real vinyl, and not just DJs and for their scratching.

Sure there's a bunch that's going digital now and that development is not going to stop anytime soon, but I doubt CDJ-like equipment will ever truly replace the feel and results of REAL vinyl.

Having said that, I have to plead guilty of not owning a (proper) turntable yet. But it's definitely on my list of yet to buy equipment. :oops:

And that even though part of my musical plans is not to rely that much on samples, but more on actual instruments played by myself. Of course those'll cost money as well, so... ;)

Case in point. The hip hop buyer at my local record shop has told me " He can't sell hip hop albums." Knowing that most of the local djs use Serato, I relate this lack of sales to Serato's use. New records need to be bought and sold in order for the current vinyl suppliers to stay in business. Otherwise they fold and then there will be less and less vinyl pressing establishments. In the past djs would buy vinyl, nowadays they just go to itunes or borrow it from their buddy. There is a whole generation of djs out there that have started on Serato and may very well stay there. While Serato does eliminate the chore of lugging records or protecting your holy grail from the drunkin dancer, it also is destroying the market for vinyl sellers. KEEP VINYL ALIVE!!

It's up to the true heads to amass as large a collection of records as possible and maintain their condition as best we can. And to press any of our personal projects on vinyl when cost allows for it. MP3 dj'ing is wick-wick-whack.
