So I've got some random thoughts... was initially gonna post this as a reply to the blog post but I want to hear what people think.
"I gotta add something.
It seems this debate is always about microwave DJs stealing gigs from old skool scratch DJs, but it feels a very important group is being left out.
What about people who've practically never touched a vinyl record let alone DJed with one, but also don't take microwave DJs seriously and want to make a name for themselves?
As far as I'm concerned they (we) BOTH lack the many tedious years of vinyl experience AND we compete with a growing group of microwave DJs who love taking shortcuts that actually work. If an experienced DJ can't compete with them, how would we?
So what's the choice, first buy a couple 1210s, practice for 10 years for that experience and then make the switch to digital? Or jump straight on the digital DJ bandwagon, learn the tools of the future but miss out on all the basics?"
It's not rhetorical, merely something I've been thinking a bit of... plus I'm at work and tired so I don't feel like leaving just yet
