How do you feel about the big comeback of vinyl????

Please, put down the crack, and step away from the pipe.
 
ROFLMAO!!!! thanks AMAHM I needed that laugh!! :-)
 
LOL, I still use it from time to time! While I enjoy the digital era, I find it fun to whip out an old RUN DMC 12 inch (NOT TIME CODE) and do my Krush Groove imitations every now and then or simply do a hot set, lol!

If it ever does make a real comeback, a lot of careers/ wannabe career will be ruined, that I know for sure! Sorry but not everyone can DJ without all the bells and whistles we have today. You know like the BPM readers, automatic sync button, samplers, on point cues, etc. Sad, but true!
 
Waveridas, just look to all the skins, very few without the wave bar!

At the end of the day know one would press vinyl when they can just sell an mp3.
 
Video (and now the internet) killed the radio star and digital killed vynyl. Well, neither radio or vynyl is dead but neither will ever make a huge comeback.

@ AMAHM, Thanks for the laugh, it was the first one I had today
 
Hi all.
Its interesting that everyone laughs when this is mentioned. But the origional poster is actualy quite correct. Not I hasten to add because of DJing but because of home users.
What! you say! Oh yes. The number of current artists releasing on CD MP3 and the old black stuff is on the up. Several record pressing plants have had the dust blown off and are now pressing vinyl again. HiFi manufacturers are making record decks and many are releasing new models. Companies like Thorens, Dual, Project and of course Linn all have new gear out. Vinyl is not dead it was just takin a break! I doubt it will ever return to the sales levels of yester year but it IS stubbornly refusing to DIE!

C'mon guys, we as human don't go back. For crying out loud, they are already on the Ipad 2. Even the new VW will have a new shape. I will be 59 this year, and have been a DJ for almost 43. This is before 1200s and 12 inches. I listen to guys crying about the sync button, and just laugh. If we want to get real, real DJs used belt drive turntables, with pennies as counter weights on the cartridge. They want to dis the sync button, but have hard drives full of mp3s, using software that gives them the bpm. What a joke. Real DJs did not have the bpm of songs because real musicians can't maintain consistent bpms. The sync button is whack, yet they don't have a problem pushing the loop button? Give me a break. Real DJs used reel to reels, and double 45s or 12" to do loops. These guys don't have a problem using a waveform, but won't use a sync button? My personal opinion about time code users.....let's see, oh I know, Lip Syncers. You know, Milli Vanilli." Hey look at me I'm using vinyl, so I am a real DJ". Nooooooooo, you are pretending to use vinyl, and are using a time coded instrument to control software, that plays digital media. Real DJs sorted through real crates, to find a record. Me, I am a real DJ and use the sync button ALL THE TIME, so now what?

Oh wait, where am I? Oh, the come back of vinyl. I have not used vinyl since 1990, and have two storage units, and a garage full of vinyl. I miss being one of the few, but will not go back. Vinyl will come back when "A Man & His Music" comes back, never. We are both dying a slow death, and I may out last vinyl. Get over it. We still have guys that make furniture with hand tools, but they are not making a come back. Some people still write letters, is that coming back? How long before the book disappears? Yeah some will buy vinyl, as a novelty, or for nostalgia, but it will not come back.

Jam Master Rob, glad I could help out.
 
LMAO

Thanks mate. I didn't say I wanted it. I just thought it worth mentioning. Its creaping in under the door. Having big heavy 12" vinyl in big impressive sleaves is realy one for the home enthusiast. Vinyl has a pride factor attached to its ownership and it would seem that the home use market is going for it.

BTW I was also one of those penny on the headshell guys. Do i want to do that again???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pennies, nickels, even quarters for those records with the heavy scratch in them! Cassette tapes dragging or popping on you while recording. Belt drive turntables where you cut the belt for a better pull back. Cheap ass slip mats that die on you after a couple of months. MASHUP??? WTH??? OH BLEND, THAT'S RIGHT! Yeah been there done that and so much more, but I learned what to keep in the basics and take within the improvements.

Yeah the industry has changed, just like pretty much anything else AMAHM stated, so you either embrace the change or you stay in the past! Vinyl may comeback, but how big will it be is the question with the way things are advancing.

We can argue about the chicken or the egg all day or we can find ways to advance as a community of DJ's?
 
I know what you mean. You can't carry vinyl with you, and how many are willing to pay twice for the same song? Once for your turntable, and again for your portable player. Most do not have time to rip or record, so it is easier to just buy the mp3. Most people do not have a home "stereo" any more. Even at home they are listening to their Ipods with those ear buds. They do not know what good music sounds like because they have never heard it before. There are some people that have never bought a CD, much less an album. Bring back the Gerrard or BIC turntable. If you touched the record, it could take 10 seconds to get back to speed.

We can't even argue about that any more. The chicken came first. The egg has a protein in it, that is found in the chicken's ovaries. There is no egg without it. That sort of blows, doesn't it?
 
BUGGER! I was looking forward to that debate LOL

By the way Daz, we have something else in common, the DMC2. I just don't know how to get mine to show up on the forum.
 
I think it was the registration of the LE version when I first got the DMC2. It showed as a different Numark product to start with (Ithink it was the Total Control). The chaps in the Atomx Towers of power eventualy changed it to the DMC2.

Yeah it does blows, so we move forward, lol!

Now I get it. I already had the pro version, so I never registered. I think I still have the cd that came with it, or threw it away.
 
We only move forward so then we go right back to the past. Look at clothing ............first to big and bell bottoms but we called them flares, now its skinny jeans with pink and purple hair like the 80's metal bands. We always go back. Now I agree vinyl will never make a come back as far as djing goes, who wants to lug that shit around again. But like Daz said there has been an increasing number of new artists pressing again. I for one still buy albums.

I for one will pass on the skinny jeans, ladies have at em, unless your.............nevermind

When DJs give up on technology and revert to using vinyl again I'll trade my iPhone in for 2 cans attached by a string!
