Do you have to use vinyl or is it just a preference? Cuz i sure dont wanna have to convince my uncle to sell me a pair of his 1200s n he has 4 pair that he just have collecting dust.

He has 4 sets & wouldn't sell you one?! That's cold.

Vinyl all the way.

Although i still think a well rounded dj should know how to use CDJ's...

it's a preference.

Turntables for me, got 2 pairs, only bought my cdjs just to learn them, they pretty much just collect dust. but go for whatever you feel better using.

Cool cuz im one of the digital aged babies lol but yea he has 4 smh i learned a lil bit on them but went to cdjs lol jus for conveniance (dont have a lot of vinyl + stores that sell records are hard to find here)

It's just a preference, but vinyl is better. Remember before there was CD's there was vinyl.

Before there were CD's there were Cassette Tapes... pencil for a quick rewind and to save your batteries.

@OP... get them 12s dammit!

^^ it's funny how most kids these days would never make the connection between a pencil and a cassette tape...

Man vinyl and turntables ALL THE WAY!! Hey im all for change and updated technology, so I have no problem with anyone using cd turntables, but if you are going to call yourself a dj, you cannot let the whole culture of deejaying die by staying on cdj's!! Even if u never do ur gigs with a real turntable at least practice sometimes with them, because that classifies dj's as dj's. Turntables and Vinyl. I see too many garbage ass dj's who really think their doin somethin in these clubs and they dont even know how to do a basic scratch or blend, because they jus use a fuckin sync function so it can pretty much do it for them!! So once again, not against cd turntables or controllers, but at the same time we cannot let the true culture of deejaying die!!

get the turntables you will have so much fun!
Dj matty k 2:31 PM - 19 October, 2011
I use cdjs but do prefer 1210s if i can they are so much better to use feel nice :-)
Evon 3:30 PM - 19 October, 2011
I feel that CDjs are more convenient if your playing EDM because of pitchfluctuation. With Vinyl you have to ride the pitch and pay more attention. Especially when the needles are a bit worn.
But I think turntables are more fun to play.

I do more open format type of stuff, so TT's I'll always be rocking. If I took a house lounge gig, I'd probably leave them at home and just use their CDJ's.

vinyl is singular and plural.
