I don't mean to start any sort of debate here, but I'm kind of curious about
something involving Final Scratch and its ilk. I spin mostly CD's, and on
occasion I'll take some heat for it (even though I use CDJ-1000s). From
what I've been seeing lately, and what I've been hearing from vinyl DJ's,
using Final Scratch is more acceptable (even preferable) to spinning on
CD's. Why is this? I understand the whole control issue, which isn't as
much an issue these days...but the argument for using vinyl that I always
hear is over sound quality - "vinyl sounds better". If this is true, then
why go to a medium that doesn't sound anywhere near as good? Sure, hi
bitrate MP3's sound almost as good as CD's, but they are even less warm in
sound. Any comments? This is more a curiousity thing, as sometimes I get a
bit frustrated seeing laptop DJ's get more respect than CD DJ's who are just
as good. I am a big fan of the program, by the way.
