I was in HMV the other day and there's a massive Vinyl section now with a shed load of dnb n such.

The album art on these badboys looks so damn good.

I love vinyl, just a b*tch to transport around

Moving to CDJ's soon.

Have a look at Rane Scratch Live or Final Scratch...much better than CDJ route.

You keep the same skills you've learned on real decks and can have your entire collection on the laptop whilst playing it all with the timecode vinyl.

I agree, it never really went anywhere, just a lot of people switched to CD, there are quite a few who still prefer the vinyl sound though.

the HMVs near me completley lost the vinyl sections recently

Yeah I've seen Roni Size use them before, they seem pretty neat actually. But surely a CDJ Unit is smaller than a Turntable

I love my Vinyl but its just a matter of space and portability!

Good news, I've been meaning to shift my collection for ages. Got a massive rack of late 90's/early '00 D&B, house and hiphop taking up room at my parents house. Might be able to get some decent ££ for it now.

Just need to find a decent way of shifting it.

I love the look of those Switch, which is generally considered to be the better product, Rane or Final Scratch? Would be very interested to give them a go.

Vinyl never went anywhere?.

AS said, it never went out.

You had to look at little harder in places maybe, but it never went.

I used to buy mountain loads, stopped now though. Got too expensive and addictive!

Vinyl never went away. Most Drum & Bass releases are on Vinyl.

MookJong · 20 Mar 2009 at 22:09

Deffo never been away? Just sounds like your new to it to me...
