    Sums it up I think. I love the vinyl but I also look forward to the CDJ
    innovations of the people who master those machines...someone's going to come
    up with some great tricks and I can't wait to hear them.

    Interestingly, I always get comment like, "Hey you STILL use records?" But
    the comments come with a sense of wonderment and respect. It is generally
    the 40 year old wedding DJ that looks at vinylheads with that
    wait-til-your-back-goes-out-disdain...but at 33, I understand. Like anything
    you lift, it is about the form.

    Random rant but just chiming in on the fact that the digital mixing will make
    vinyl mixing all the more classic or old-school and in some cases a novelty.
    Soon someone is going to say to me upon peeping my vinyl..."What's that?"
    I'll be happy to explain and demonstrate!

    Peace y'all,

    Marv
