so I was having a conversation with my brother regarding mixing with equipment and he comes up with an idea that the equipment (mixers, turntables) improve sound quality. the argument pissed me off because he wouldn't acknowledge what I was trying to tell him and kept insisting his point.
He says that his idea is supported by the fact that why a person would get a pioneer DVJ-1000 over a numark NDX 800 is because he could rock the crowd with "better sound quality" and by sound quality he meant the crisp range of audible sound from a file. He says that there is something about the equipment that creates that awesome sound quality and that the soundcard is just an interface.
so i told his dumbass that it is the soundcard (NI audio 10 DJ) that improves sound quality supported the fact that there are settings on the card let me set the sampling rate and buffer size of the sound output... so based on that I tell him a person would pick awesome equipment over lesser equipment is because of the features. its obvious that a DVJ-1000 has more features to fuck with the track than the cheaper ones. obviously those do NOT improve sound quality in the sense of audible range but more on manipulation.
my brother is a fucking idiot and just wants to believe what he wants to believe. please help me tell him that equipment is just for features and manipulation and that it is the soundcard and the music files that set the sound quality.
can you guys please shed some light because you guys know what your talking about. and if im wrong then I deserve to be flamed.
inb4 pissed off.
