As a dj for nearly 12 years I was one of those who for a long time refused to accecpt the use of cds, mp3s and other technology, I was the vinyl junkie purist.. But I must say that in the last year or so, my eyes have been opened to these new approaches to djing. Some of the new digital turntables that have come out are extremely versatile and exciting to use and tools like final scratch, traktor etc... can be really fun as well.. As mentioned above, when they are incorporated into a traditional setup, the possibilities of creativeness are endless. I spent a few hours playing with the new Technics Digital tables last weekend and I was blown away. It was the first device that really came close to the hands on feel of an actual turntable. Now I just hope they come down in price from the current 1,000 tag they hold. I dont see myself completely tossing vinyl to the side anytime soon, but I am now willing to utilize the other options we have available.
