I definitely would agree that a deejay that ONLY plays CDs will be missing
out on a TON of music and not be as interesting. However these days a deejay
that ONLY plays vinyl will also be missing out--there's a lot of CD only
albums and often some of the CD Singles have non-vinyl remixes or bonus
tracks. These days you have to be able to play both to get all the music out
there (and you can always burn the odd mp3 to CD-R).
Hello, first time posting..(been lurking)I know some of you on the list from other list...Hi guys.
Anyway, I read most of this thread an wanted to jump in basically agreeing with the direction as noted above.
Another use for a CD I'd like to add that for a producer the freedom to bring a CDR of a recent mixdown is very convenient, you can get a reaction of your track before ever pressing it. Sort of like a pre-test press. Tim Love Lee did this with Sexy Lady before the track was even mastered. His first playing of the track had the crowd screaming for more.
