smgarret Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 i wonder if that was picotto?but what if you download your choons from beatport or sumthing of that sort? how can u prove that u did in fact pay for the music? im not carrying around a fucking receipt for every single piece of music i own....fuck that...Wasn't Picotto, was one of the djs from the group blu. Who knows how they figure that shit out but from what I've been told the guy had like 3-4000 mp3s on his laptop and he couldn't prove that he'd bought/been given a single tune. Guess what I'm trying to say is just be careful when you download tunes and play them out, ya never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepspell Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 be careful when you download tunes and play them out, ya never know werd...def. truebut italy has some law that u cant play a song out in public if u cant proove that you paid for it....with the way the gov. is acting lately (the fcc), this will soon happen here too....good for the artist tho, they will be able to make more money, which is a good thing for the whole industry bad thing for those gweepers out there on soulseek and direct connect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudeboyyouth Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 I've been spinning as a hobby for well over 7 years now, and I've always favored vinyl. As of the last year and a half, however, I've been using cds. As was mentioned many times in this thread, both cds and records have their advantages and disadvantages. I still stick mostly to vinyl, since I'm able to find more of the rare house music I want on vinyl, but I never rule out buying and /or burning tracks on cd whenever I can. I use pretty simple, basic equipment - two technics 1210Mk2's, two Denon DN-S5000's (which have some incredible options, including alpha mixing), and a simple Gemini PS-01 3 channel mixer. I need to get a newer, better mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobeedoo01 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 starting playing vinyl and moved on to both cd and vinyl with the new technic cd player.. its definitely hot,, but nothing is worse then a cd just freaking out mid track with nothing else cued up and making some wierd electronic shrieking sound.. I'll stick to vinyl.mp3's are already on there way out being replace by mp4's everyones gonna need new technology to play new cd's not turntablists records will always play.. in my opinion when they create an ipod with a cue button and a pitch control everyone will move to that.. i know final skratch and all but you need to bring your laptop and its hard to do a guest spot with when you have to rearrange there sound system..

technicfreek Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 out of those who replied, are you djing for entertainment value or trying to make a career? I believe it always starts as entertainment and then grows as a challenge.. i think anyone who has been spinnin for a while that has the hang of it and is confident in themselves dreams that they could make a career out of djing.. there is nothing like being in front of a crowd making them jump up and down and feelin like ur in total control with every tune u drop.. so to answer the question yes and yes if possible.. if a career could blossom from a bedroom dj who is really into his music then that would be the most amazing thing..
