CDJ1000 - quote of the day from Komplex (from icq)

[Zipnil]

First point - as grand master has explained, the human ear can only hear between 20Hz to 20 kHz.
Second - You cannot generalize on the rigs and equiptment of the day. Most digital and Analog processes are of even quality. The dollar is the important factor in quality audio equipment, of all kinds.
Third - The end product is as only as good as the speakers it is coming from. All speakers, (and equipment) have different frequency responses and different dynamic ranges.
Forth - The main difference between Analog and digital audio processes; is the way in which the handled. In digital it is the same, right through up to recording. With Analog the process differs greatly. (This to me means that I can create sounds (or change sound) greatly by processing them through different types of Analog equipment, more so than with digital. I’m only assuming, not certain, going by what i know at the moment)
Fifth - The dynamic range in digital is 90dB, in Analog, around 55dB - 60 dB can be achieved.
Lastly - there is a distinct term that is commonly used in the sound engineering field that I believed is commonly used. The term is 'fat', and they apply when speaking about the Analog sound. Bouncing songs from digital to Analog, we can achieve this sound.
I hope that helps clear a few things up.
Choose your medium and use it to the best of its abilities, there is no more to it than ‘that’.
Except to enjoy it while you’re at it.
And who here doesn't?

Can't argue with that...

just thought id pop in here and leave my thoughts on dans previous post...
Dan:
all good and well...
ur right, most tracks that are half decent only come out on promos...and yes, watching out for breaks on a piece of wax is easier..
but:
ive been using cd players/cds since i was 15...i always learnt my music inside out so i knew where everything was (breaks/samples etc)...i always got what i wanted on cd because of where i shopped...central station *in its hey day* were importing basically what they got on vinyl...the cd prices were a lil silly *$21 for the hard to find stuff* but i wasnt complaining...
my point is, it doesnt matter what u use, and most clubs have both turnies and cd players installed....but like i said, i agree with u dan when u said that some tracks can only be found on wax...thats true...but from my experiences, it actually is quite the same...
my 2c worth

Psytrance scene, nearly EVERY DJ uses CD's..
- They are more protable (who likes lugging decks and record crates into the bush??
- CDs are ALOT more cost effective.
- There is alot more psytrance released on CD than vinyl.
- There is alot of unreleased stuff by well known artists available on their websites to download and play at parties.
... once again it just comes down to what music your into, I think psytrance vinyl will start slowing down in the near future.

Zipnil:
I would have thought that once a signal is in the digital domain the things that can be done with it are limitless. Yes analog synths are fat, mainly because of their filters and harmonics in the vco's, but thats got nothing to do with the general analog recorded vs digital recorded debate.
At the end of the day, who really gives a fuck. You'd have to be a wanker to stand next to a speaker and whinge because the cd sound was too clean or whatever....just shut the fuck up and dance

As Dan said above, one of the major advantages of vinyl is being able to see your music...the breaks etc.
Although these are not too hard to learn, I thought you all should know that the cdj1000 has some sort of new technology on it that is meant to somehow represent that... it's where the wave display would normally be on a cd player I think.
Anyway, I don't know how the technology works but I've heard it's quite effective.
Catch.

[serotone] - you happen to be correct, but the same goes for Analog. Your limits are governed by the equipment you have. In the digital (seeing that most of it done on computer) the options are cheaper, and more accessible due to piracy. In the Analog domain you are limited by equipment. Otherwise you can basically do the same thing. Although digital (software) still lacks some quality that Analog equipment gives.
I hope this answers your question.
