Re: vinyl vs cd war - sound system
From: Max & Mark I was actually thinking about buying back a pair of cdj-200 s or something since I don’t really like messing around with the FS2 that much... I rather burning mp3 to cds n spin them with cd-players, or mix real vinyl than using FS2 And I still do buy a lot of cds , and I doubt that this media is soo going down. Is there people here using fs2 as a sound card only ? -----Message d'origine----- De : techhouse-bounces@...

Objet : Re: [Techhouse] vinyl vs cd war - sound system as a musician, i really care about all this format issue and i chose to stick to records for now, for many reasons (with cds also). lots of dj's around me went back to vynil after their journey with serato, and others are done with records for good. in the end, its really personnal. but as a designer, i have to say that the market of sound-audio products available to users is not vynil friendly. in the mid-range (pricewise), you will only find those ipod-ready systems, with no rca/phono inputs. you will have to go towards real gear, made for the afficionados ($$), which leaves no real options for those who would be willing to re-consider. Give or take, an album in vynil or CD is the same price, but what you need to listen to it is something else ... mossa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Satori" <dj.satori@...> To: "Peter Wohelski" <kickdrummedia@...> Cc: <techhouse@...> Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 12:15 PM Subject: Re: [Techhouse] vinyl vs cd war, episode 4783699 > Just my thoughts, but I've been thinking that a combination of MP3, WAV > and > vinyl has been a threat to the CD standard for quite a while. > > Interestingly though, I think since music is increasingly being recorded > in > all-digital formats (mostly 24bit/192Khz) that DVD-Audio or the digital > equivilent in a compressed format (lossy or not) might be poised to make a > grand entrance as well.
