Hey... Here are my two cents about djing CDs vs. Vynil. I spin. I only spin CD's. For me, this is about MUSIC. I want to come out everytime I spin, and introduce my crowd to new sounds. I want them to experience somehing new somehing fresh something unheard or maybe even something that they have heard once or twice. For me, it is a waste to spend money on VYNIL. I don't have that many gigs. So if I bought a vynil, and by the time I come out to spin next may be a month or two, the song is already old or played out so you have to throw your vynil in the back of the pack... There goes your money. However, I've had numerous arguements from people who claim that I am not really a DJ because I use CD's. I tell them 'Well, I am not about showing off, I don't care what you think of me, I stand in front of you and play to you the music and you like it, so why do you complain?' My theory, and I may be wrong, but those dj's who ONLY use vynil and <talk $hit> about CDs, are only after the fame, because obviously I have to admit, one looks better behind a set of turntables than a pair of cdplayers. But for me, it's all about the music. Anyway, to whoever that said that cd's are easier than turntables, I could argue that... I don't think it's easier, beatmatching is the key to mixing, and its the same for vynil or cds. But if it's not, if CDS are truly easier to spin with, why wouldn't you want to do them? I mean, don't humans always look for 'easier' ways to do things? Why do you drive to a club?? That's easier than walking... Maybe you should walk there next time if you prefer to do things the 'hard' way. Also, reading an interview with Danny Tenaglia a lil while ago, he says 'CD's are a GODSEND to me'... This was in the DJ Times magazine. Also the following djs prefer CD's: Plasmic Honey Johnny Vicious Eddie Baez .... I know this because I personally stood behind them while they were spinning, and even though Johnny Vicious has a few vynils with him, 80% of all the tracks he plays are on CDs. Thats because most of these big (N.Y.) dj's get music directly from producers, and it's quicker for a producer to burn his song on a cd than have it pressed on a vynil. That's all for now. - DJ Arsen
