DJing since the early 90s.
1000% get that turntablist / scratch DJs prefer turntables.
But for the kind of beat-matching and quick mixes I do (reggae/dancehall mostly), CDJs are much better imo. Finer control for every degree of turning the platter, plus cue points to get back to quickly.
It’s a preference I guess. I still buy LPs to listen to at home, but when it comes to performing 100% digital.
- bandrami 3y agoYeah, when I do an EDM set I love the jog wheel for tweaking the phase and tempo (though nowadays you just press the sync button, kids today, get off my lawn, etc.) But I'm mostly doing geriatric hip hop, and one thing I love about the vinyl resurgence is a lot of 80s and 90s stuff got reissued. That is one thing I love about Mixxx and Xwax: with timecode vinyl a drop really sounds like a drop.
