| Brick ITM Contributor | if I may drag the topic away from simple minds for a second... I think that numark cdj in the adove pic is absolutley ridiculous... the fact that they had to make one basically identical to a turntable shows the unwillingness of djs to accept and adapt to new technology... if you need a turntable like that to play cds why not just stick to vinyl. |

You do realise NZ and Aus have the same decendents, right? Essentially we are the same race unless you're from Italian, Greek etc decent.  New Zealander isn't a race...it's a nationality, twat features... All this is totally beside the point anyways, you're just a childish dog refusing to let go of a bone...

All your other guff...we were ust pissing about. Sheesh, get a grip. RE: the above...there is just as much technical skill involved in creating a good DJ set on CDJs as there is turntables. CDJs don't auto-beat match you know? You still have to do that manually...which is about 10-15% of what makes up a good set in my mind...the rest of the skill is in programming and reading/leading the crowd. Whether you're playing live or of vinyl or laptop or CDs, this is still the hardest part of DJing and the format the music is in is totally irrelivant to this. Would you rather hear an amazingly programmed set of CDJs or a piss-poor programmed one on vinyl (lets assume the mixing/beat matching was flawless)? I know which I'd choose. Seems you've missed the point of this debate...format don't mean shit...just coz you only play vinyl doesn't make you a great set constructionist...and if you do only play vinyl, you're actually just limiting the possibilties of where you can take a set...

image not archived: l_e17793a721d03f5a2b387db4b1aa3fa5.jpg Sweet mother of God you have to be kidding?!?! Those are the worst CDJs on the market, spinning platter or not! And "feels like vinyl"? Yeah fucking right! The platter on that is so shit it's not funny. The torque/motor is so piss poor weak it's laughable...it feels NOTHING at all like a turntable unless you're talking a $150 belt drive piece of shit turnie. After taking so long to get into the CDJ market, Technics missed the mark by a country mile with that jobbie. The Numark one shits all over it for a CDJ "which feels like a turntable"...it's motor is actually stronger than a technics 1200 turnable. My mixes to stream/download: HERE! |

I wouldn't call myself a techno fan, no. I really like some of the new stuff by Redshape, Shed and Add Noise. But nothing glitchy or banging. |

Are you serious? Did it ever occur to you that it only sounds muffled (ie. no highs) simply cause YOU slammed the the mids and lows up on it? I think you need to hear a CDJ again, this time and with the EQ set to flat, and preferably playing something other than a shoddy-encoded mp3.

yeah but you did make comments about losing respect for djs you like that use cds... i cant see how if a dj has used vinyl for years, hence demonstrating that he has some sort of talent, and then switches to cd because something about it appeals to him, how that should affect your thinking. You gave qbert as an example, lets say he did switch to cd, now if someone like him with his immense talent, saw nothing wrong with it then why should anyone else? dess-us' main argument that using cdjs was really only easier because of the pitch lock, now to me that's a pretty weak argument for writing off a medium. What if technics started putting them on their vinyl turntables (if they havent already)? |
