Question for Final Scratch and Rane Serano users:

[Harm Rhebergen]

Do you buy the records you play and then record them to your computer? Or do you just download stuff?

Just curious..

[brianc]

I do both. If I can buy the record, I do and then record it. I like to have the option of playing it if there's no Final Scratch setup available. There are two problems:

* It's a real pain in the ass to record and clean up if you buy a lot of records at once
* Records are more expensive than buying the mp3s

The benefit of buying mp3s is that they're usually very nice quality. I got Troy Pierce's Run from Beatport the other day and am damn pleased with it. I think I might still buy the record though

Either way, I'm still happy to have the option of playing the records if I have to.

[Harm Rhebergen]

Okay, I see another option here: buying the mp3

My question is if the dj supports the artist by buying it.... Your answer in this case is "yes"...

[brianc]

Ahhhhh, I gotcha. Yeah, I'm more than happy to support the artists. I have, though, gotten curious in the past and tried to find things online, but I've never had much luck finding 99% of the tracks I was looking for, especially new ones. Maybe people have better luck with soulseek, but I haven't tried that out.
