**Vinyl vs CDJ’s**

I myself have two 1210’s, but i do miss the ease of use of a cdj, with the play button and easy pitch controls.

Should i change to cdj’s!? Ive really wanted to get the hang of scratching on my vinyls but i can never really find the time to practice that much, i just have the odd mix every day.

Opinions on which is better please (: (vinyl does look cooler!)

Neither is better. All that matters is what you prefer. Vinyl may look more “legit” but a bad vinyl DJ is one of the worst experiences in the world 😛 (not that you’re bad)

OP: Rock what you got. Hip Hop DJs perfer 12’s, EDM DJ’s perfer DJ’s. I saw use both, but when you gig, go with whatever is available
