Everything made in the past 10 years has been digital. Even the 2" tape is gone. So honestly, vinyl is no longer the native format. CD's & high quality MP3's is where it's at. If this was the case back in the 90's, where you could carry your whole collection on a hard drive, I never would have stopped being a DJ.
Stop bitching about digital vs. vinyl gramps. Vinyl lost the battle. ;)

yeah, i'm an old dinosaur. vinyl died a aggravating death. thats why i succumbed. well, one of the reasons.
i am making digital music and the keyboard i am buying(korg triton pro x) is digital. i'm not against it. i think what pisses me off is now instead of real djs who actually had to invest more in the music and 12 bucks a record for years, you have some asshole promoter or friend of the club owner that sucks ass as a dj taking that spot cuz he jacks mp3s from the web and bought himself a final scratch. its really bad in san diego. even in l.a. i saw some djs that couldn't mix two songs together if someone else did it for them. as bad as the whole dancefloor stopping and looking at him a couple times like WTF?
LOL.
i ain't all that mad really that vinyl isn't around anymore, but more at the fact that everyone thinks their a DJ now.
oh well, not my repsonsibility anymore.
