Vinyl anyone?

[DJ GloX]

I noticed that most Mobiles these days are going with CDs. Are there still any mobiles that spin vinyl?

[tylerhollyfield]

meee

[Kullz]

they're a dying breed :(

[DJ Pyro]

oh there are still some out there... have to admit though CDs are a
lot easier to transport from gig to gig

[DJSAL]

In my 5 years of being in the business, and coming accross hundreds of different DJs and MCs, I have met only one DJ who liked vinyl so much as to transport heavy turntables, and records to each mobile gig.

I'm a another one that love my turntables and records, you can't beat the feel that records has. :dj:

[DJ GloX]

Alright Cool :) Just wanted to see if there were others out there that <3 vinyl as much as I do. :D

[DJL]

After years of luggn my 1200's and numerous bags, crates and boxes of records all over the state.. I have only recently lost the fight and am only taking my cdj800s from now on...
But there is still hope, my weekly residency will always see me spinning 12s
I love vinyl, but just not enough for my mobile stuf..

[Dj Rizzle]

VINYL!! gotta keep the original vibe alive, i cant believe you guys would let your roots die that easy, comon show some backbone lol vinyl is why you are djing, and you should share the vinyl experince with the rest of you audience. My saying is, for every gig you do, you inspired atleast 5 people at the party, and they will become dj's depending on the age ofcourse lol... keep the vinyl alive, atleast mix at home with vinyl like DJL lol peace

[YinYangDragon]

Uhh I didn't spend over a grand on vinyl so I could sleep better at night :sleep: ! Of course I rock the vinyl! Teh rekkidz rulez all.

Besides, they make great fans when it gets hot! :spank:

[djscrizzle]

i do tooo - for the roots and i do too like the feel of vinyl...

[Ray403]

Most mobile DJs these days are juke boxes. I work for a mobile dj company in town, and I sometimes bring my turntables along with the company gear.

[cris.rodrigo]

i think the best set up is a little of each. 1 table/ 2 cdjs, 2 tables/ 1cdj. Best of both worlds. Some releases on vinyl that are not found on cds, etc. I suppose you could just burn the shit, but I still (heart) the analog sound. Peace.

[Dj Rizzle]

Yeah i do support the use of maybe one cdj, hell, id like to get one soon. And yeh they do make SUPER good fans when it gets hot lol!

[DJ GloX]

Same here, I need to get a tabletop to do party requests

[DJ Georgeo]

Cd's are sort of must haves for mobile discos, you need the compilations such as childrens party which have stuff like music man on, and you can always download the latest songs of i tunes and burn them to disk (legally) quicker than nipping down the record store! I think vinyl is much better personally just not in this situation

But wait there is hope for all you vinyl lovers (like myself).....

A few months back I saw Mix Master Mike rock a club set in Austin, TX. Dude was using 2 - technics 1200's a pioneer mixer, a laptop, and Rane's Sareto Scaratch (http://www.serato.com/products/scratchlive/setup/). For thsoe of you not familiar with the setup...You use your conventional turntbales and mixer along with a conversion box hooked to a laptop. The laptop stores all of your music files (mp3) and then you place speacially time coded vinyl to play back your mp3 files with your tunrtables. From what he was able to do that night there was no apparent diffence between what you could do with a record and what you could do with this system. Everything was on time and perfect. He was even able to be more creative than a traditional record setup because he was able to change songs just by a mouse click never once having to change the record. Also you instantly have doubles of everything in your library! Saves a ton of money. Plus you could even sample your self and sratch on it. Awesome technology. The price is like around 500 so thats not that bad really.

Serato fuckin rocks - i highly recommend it! Spin those mp3's and vinyl.

Nothing like a crate of 2000 songs stored in a laptop.

[nautical]

i use final scratch, but bring some vinyl w/ me incase something happens w/ the computer.

[Dj Rizzle]

Yeah Sareto live looks fucking amazing. that technology is well put.

[Super_Bleu]

i use seratoe for the most part but just like nautical I still usually bring some vinyl with me just in case my laptop starts fuggin up. It's never actually happened, but still just in case I still haul around some vinyl

[sleeper gm]

As said above alot of DJ's are using Final Scratch ... actually I see about 60% use it when I go out. It is quickly becoming the standard.

[DJ Knowledge]

I have a pair of CD players but I mostly use my records (95%) during mobile gigs.

[Lefty]

i use serator with my 1200s, i love the feel of vinyl. and to me, CDJs are just way too weird.
