What’s best? CD, Vinyl or Digital DJing? |
|
|
|
|
Let us start this answer by declaring that we remain happily outside the debate of which of these three methods is ‘the best’. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to each of these forms of DJing - to suggest one is superior in every way (as many DJs like to argue) is, in my opinion, ludicrous. |
|
|
|
|
If you are new to DJing it’s perhaps best to focus on one format to begin with to keep things simple. An increasing number of people seem to be opting to begin DJing with CDs, as buying a lot of vinyl can become a costly exercise, but again, personal preference is all that really matters.Once you develop some experience we suggest you have a go with some other formats to broaden your skills a little. We are not saying you must go out and buy yet more equipment (unless you want to of course) but if you can get access to something different give it a try. |
|
|
|
|
Most clubs now offer an integration of these three formats and, in my opinion, DJs with higher ambitions would be wise to familiarize themselves with all formats. The music and DJing industry has a high degree of technological innovation and evolves very quickly. Keeping up to date with new formats, without neglecting older ones, should ensure a DJ’s longevity. |
