no, fuck you

Itunes and Ipod are Apple brands in case you didnt realise. I'm talking about the bigger picture here,not necesarily just music. Digital technology in general is more about making money than any real benefit to the consumer.

I run a creative zen for my mp3 player needs ...

The problem is that people feel like they are entitled. Not too long ago, you'd either hear something on the radio, at home or in a club, but you only had a few choices for media to play it on. Now you have infinite access to music and you feel entitled to hear the entire tune. Fair play, all of ...

as an artist, I'm concerned when not everyone can hear what I make

Vinyl master digital vs. the actual vinyl.

fair enough then, but it only has to do with the fact that it was mastered specifically for that format...nothing 'better' (personal opinion aside) about vinyl in the slightest

My experience is at least that the digital vinyl master sounds completely different and better on vinyl.

i've dealt with my fair share of em, and I can't say I agree intrinsically...but you have to remember, that mastering for digital and mastering for vinyl ...

cling on to your vinyl for all I care, you're like the guy in PCU that was majoring in Sanskrit

and music, nor art, should ever be 'exclusive'...if you think otherwise, you're quite an elitist and have entirely missed the point IMO.

We release digital. I collect vinyl. Motherfuckers collect cars ...

fuck that mayne, gotta keep it REAL

same shit with dnb...and the fans suffer, as do the artists when they don't get paid

LONG LIVE DUBPLATE CULTURE!!!

dubplate != vinyl

and tbpf, the sheer amount of unreleased/unfinished/off the wall/not on vinyl stuff I play is the main reason I went with serato...fuck paying $50 a pop to a cutting house, that doesn't benefit the labels OR the artists...only the people doing the ...

in the grand scheme of mixdowns regarding vinyl release, Pavillion pretty much got it right - a lot is rolled off to be able to work on a 12"

in regards to synths/etc...it really comes down to imperfection, as true analogue gear (esp tube driven and analog oscillator) don't lock to what they're ...
