but beatmixing with cd's is quite hell. try this: run both tunes in
beat, both channels open; then fastly slowdown the other record to make
it's beat go in between, creating a double beat and then fastly
returning it to the beat... easy with 12" but haven't managed to make it
work with cd's or mp3 dj-tools. real dj always uses 12" because you can
manually manipulate the records that are spinning. just look at the
massive hip-hop dj movement in USA. and in USA people still buy more
vinyl than cd's. most hardcore classical music fans in germany will only
buy their albums as vinyl since "because all the instruments are analog
and cd sounds too digital".. so i think vinyl will stay quite long as
the industry standard format. and sure, vinyl has a lot more smoother
sound than cd.. and a lot more bass.. i just recorded some 12" to be
encoded as mp3 and i had lot's of trouble as many of those records
sounded loudest around 20-40 hz area, WAY below the standard digital
audio which usually is cutted down from 50 hz. after heavy eq'ing of the
tracks (recorded them in at 48 000 hz) i was able to get the encoder to
create acceptable results from the tracks. before eq:ing the wav files,
mp3's sounded really bad.
