How do YOU obtain your music?

[SlayForMoney]

Also one of the guys who works for them produces and does remixes (7th heaven) and he abuses his position wildly, every month theres a crazy amount of his production on their discs...

yeah, I noticed that too

i torrent, but the music i spin is mostly underground things from unsigned artists, where their only chance to get music out is put a torrent on their blog or something. i usually get all my music i need from blogs and free promos. just look deeper, and you will find undiscovered artists with free music just begging to be heard. find some good stuff, and you are in business!

Most of the music I play is only released only on vinyl or not formally released at all just put on soundcloud. Vinyl comes from Toolbox but I scatter orders to other stores when things sell out before I get an order in; digital if available (which is next to nothing really) from Juno.

interesting. if you ever post a set in the "mixes & productions" sub, i'll make sure to check it out.

im still in the learning process. people say i'm doing good enough to start posting up mixes, but i don't feel i'm there yet. but if i ever start posting them up, ill be sure to post on DJTT

Hey don't worry, get on a post I reckon, it's all a good learning curve, don't worry about it too much. DJ's can be the worst critics BUT I would also argue they may be the best to judge on a technical level, so it's a good way to learn I would say.

Didn't realize the folks on this forum were so into their music being legal.

Also... itunes? Guys, really? Don't they only offer 256 kbps....?

What % of DJTT users do you think use torrents for their music?

I ask because no-one has said that they do. Why? are they shy about admitting it on here do you think?

Im guessing it would be 80% +

Yeah, because the difference between the 320kbps you get on Beatport e.a. is that big of a difference...

im sure many of us do, but this site does not condone piracy, so us as the users can not express our condolance either. i would say many users do, but because they post on this site, cannot claim that they do in the pages of the forums.

EDIT:
also, many users on here pride themselves of not pirating their music, and being as straight up in obtaining their music as possible. this is for many reasons including personal views on piracy, and the consequences of being caught deter them, as well as many people can actually afford it and enjoy supporting the music industry. as i recall there have been a few stories of DJ Careers ending after it being discovered that they had played pirated music, or were in possession of it as they passed through certain countries on their way to a gig.

there are legitimate reasons to pirate as well as many not to. but that is for another thread if you want to discuss that. as for people admitting to pirating their music, that is not something to express on this site.

And apart from all that: there is more to actually buying your MP3s (or whatever format you prefer) than the question of legality.
