I know this is djtech so there are a lot of digital djs and people who never touched a record in their life, but you gotta appreciate the feel of vinyl. There's really nothing else like it, the album art, the thickness and weight of it, the analog sound, it's irreplaceable and even though I rarely use vinyl when I play out (besides timecodes) I like to collect it and use it at home. It's also the absolute best for personal listening. So I hope you enjoyed my recent additions.

Any other vinyl lovers? How many of you MIDI DJs have never mixed two records before in your life or even owned a piece of vinyl? Be honest. As digital DJs you owe it yourself to experience the roots of DJing and mix two vinyl records on real turntables. Make it a goal, good record shops will have turntables to listen to records and some DJ oriented ones will even have a DJ booth with TTs and a mixer (Turntablelab in Manhattan for example).

Now I have about 200 records to listen to, it's like crate digging through my own collection. I'm on number 5 and I like every one so far, this collection was a goldmine find.

...and then you had to go and post PICTURES OF THEM ALL. JEEZ. You're KILLING ME.

Way to pick up so many great records at once like that. The stars are clearly aligned in your favor!

[sine143]

damn... wish I had that drop the pressure vinyl. I'll be honest, I've never stood between two turntables in my life, but dear god, I want to. As i started to get into djing, it was just so difficult to find tunes on vinyl in my area... so I never went that way.

[Jester]

Score! Pearls Girl on wax, fuck yeah

Heh, funny you mention that, I already have a copy of Drop the Pressure on vinyl so now I have two, if you want to buy one PM me.

EDIT: They are actually two different version of Drop the Pressure with different mixes so I'm going to keep both

[sine143]

haha, funny coincidence. hmmm... maybe its time I picked up at least 1 TT... but I'm gonna need a bigger desk real quick. Hell, might even buy it off you without any way to play it.

Check my edit, sorry I think I'm keeping it. anyway, that shouldn't stop you from buying vinyl and turntables! check your local craigslist you can get a pair of Technics for $400 easily! I have even been able to find brand new MK5s and M3Ds for $100 each but I am persistent and am always checking CL. I'm actually in the market for another Technics pair since I have a buyer for my M3D and it is odd for me to have any less than two Technics at any given time,one is unheard of, I'm just glad I have it to listen to these records...

Nice collection of music!

I have several of those releases in digital.

After spinning records for a few years I gave all my vinyl record collection to dj friends when I went digital. They were very happy, and to me it only meant less space in the room.

IMO the vinyl sound is horrible after a few plays, and it gets worse everytime you play it again. Plus dust, fingerprints...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramophone_record

"The RIAA has suggested the following acceptable losses: down to 20 kHz after one play, 18 kHz after three plays, 17 kHz after five, 16 kHz after eight, 14 kHz after fifteen, 13 kHz after twenty five, 10 kHz after thirty five, and 8 kHz after eighty plays."

8Khz after eighty plays... and a dj usually plays a record hundreds of times. Considering most of people can't hear beyond 17k it's almost half of the spectrum...

I have friends that bought several copies of the records they loved because of that. One copy for practicing, some more for live gigs, and some more ONLY for recording. Yeah, most of their money was spent in records...

Carrying vinyls was a pain in the back... Some of my friends had problems in their back because of frequently carrying hundreds of vinyls.

The only thing I miss about vinyls is touching them and see them spinning. That was really great.

Oh and the smell of a new record

[sine143]

yeah, i mean, I could probably find a pair of techs for around the 400 mark... but as of right now, i'm mixing internally with traktor/vci/some random sample triggers and whatnot. I'd have to pick up a mixer as welll, and damn I just dont have the cash to make that endeavor, especially since I love mixing with the vci. darn being a poor college student.
