i just take my records out. the only time my records get scratched is when someone else touches them.::BLM:: wrote:Who here has gone back to vinyl?
I buy a lot of vinyl, but I never end up taking them out with me when I DJ. I end up buying the wavs and then using cdj's when I play out. I used to take my records out all the time, but they ended up getting scratched so now I leave them at home. I hate having to buy records a second time, especially since some of them cost me loads of money in the first place.
Does anybody else do this really stupid thing to preserve their records?
Advice really appreciated - getting decks for my 11 yr old

(And I still do, until I have digitalized them.)

Not that I want to turn this into a vinyl vs anything else thread.jackbrazzo wrote:I;ve tried all formats - you cant beat vinyl. Sure CD's and traktor are better, but it bores me. Completely lost interest in a lot of facets of DJing as a result.
But I've also tried all formats, and it really doesn't matter that much to me.
I like playing good music to good crowds, and for me Traktor (with cd/vinyl control) gives me that tiny bit extra that I like when I play.

I just use traktor with vinyl because it allows me to play the way I've always played (with vinyl feel) and I can bring everything along instead of having to carry two bags down stairs and up stages, and having to be pissed anyway that the record I wanted to play is still at home.
Don't like CDJ's, just because I don't like burning cd's and writing down all the titles etc. Too much hassle. And I just like the worlkflow of vinyl (or traktor vinyl): the only difference is that you turn to your laptop to search a track instead of turning to your bag to search the nexxt tune. All the rest is just snobby stuff.
Just received our new vinyls (tom dazing & gols & los updates) but if this also doesn't sell, I'll also just concentrate on digital. I can use the money for lots better things and the music stays the same.
