The article is pretty spot on, except for the title. DJs today are a combination of DJ and Producer. The article doesn't mention it but a lot of DJs outsource that job to 'ghost producers'. It also seems that some groups work together in that sense too. One focuses more on Djing and the other on Producing. Compared to Vinyl, CDJs and Controllers such as Traktor give you more freedom to manipulate the sound. With Vinyl, I've always felt limited to the sound compared to a traditional instrument. With Traktor I have more ways to manipulate the sound. DJing has always been using technology to transcend the medium. I don't understand the argument with Digital vs. Analog. The fact that people don't have to carry crates full of songs anymore is because of Digital.
