Exactly mate, If your passionate about DJing, it shouldn't be because it's easy and convenient, all these new digital DJ's who've come out of the woodwork, you take away the tech and 80% of these wannabes will disappear back into the bedrooms from which they came, this will leave the ones who can actually mix without the use of a sync button or sequencer..!

In my experience if something is acquire to easy, it doesn't gain respect and that's what's happened to the dance music scene today..!

The only good thing digital has brought us is in the music product area, where it's removed the noise to floor issue created by tapes, apart from this they can keep it....Long live Vinyl..!

Your right I always have people come up after my sets and say 'damn your tunes sounded shit, if only you'd played crusty old vinyls I'd have enjoyed it so much more.'
Still at least I get a laugh selling on the odd vinyl exclusive from scientific wax or such that I rip then sell for 5 times the original price to some vinyl junkie on discogs.

Look if you have the money to support paying modern astronomical prices for vinyl and the time to love and care for your plates to stop em sounding a crusty mess, then good for you. But in my opinion the invested time and money is definitely not worth it for the result. Whilst I still use turntables I have no interest bar nostalgia for vinyl.

if u understand how Mpeg compression works then you'll know that it saves space by isolating areas of the waveform that it considers redundant and uses logarhythms to calculate which areas can be duplicated rather than rendered in realtime. The amount of compression you choose reflects the size of waveform it effects. At 320 the compression focuses mainly on the silence spaces between the audible frequencies ie the gaps between in the spikes of the waveform. In other words you lose very little actual audible frequencies.

Vinyl has a dynamic range which is incapable of reproducing frequencies above and below certain parameters, hence why tracks should be mixed specially before being cut. Many claim this restriction is noted more in the high frequencies resulting in vinyl having more of a focus on the low frequencies which lends to the theory of vinyl having a warmth. 320 gives much the same audible restriction but without being limited in the first place by a physical bandwidth restriction and no physical degradation from use.

All said and done digital is not a fucking nightmare to carry around, doesn't degrade, doesn't get scratched, doesn't cost a small fortune per plate, has about 80 times the exclusives compared to a few vinyl exclusives, can be doubled instantly, makes for much quicker mixing and list goes on...
So keep on pushing vinyl if that's what floats your boat but give me a break cos I'm board to tears of this petty argument.

Wow "Vinyl sounds shit compared to 320".......really..! I'm sorry though the higher the bite rate the higher the quality, it's a no brainer..! When you compare 1,411 kbps files as on vinyl and at best a seriously compressed 320 kbps file on MP3's, there is no comparison I suggest you go back to skool mate, oh and get your ears cleaned..!

Furthermore because MP3's are already watered down files, when they are heavily amplified as in clubs and big dance events the sound quality suffers considerably, I've been in the business along time, so I know..!

Vinyl sounds shit compared to 320. I am well aware of how compression works but the only people that think vinyl sounds better than digital music IS the purists. I mixed vinyl for over 10 years, but when I play my vinyl now compared to an MP3 of the same track the difference is very noticable. Vinyl may hold its own on some break heavy track or an oldskool vibe, but sat side to side with a compression heavy modern track, the Dynamic range of vinyl is pale in comparison. And lets not even go into the effects of ware on the record through plays. the compression occuring with 320 is minimal and has little effect bar removing the silence around the waveform. Every DJ I know uses MP3 unless their playing there own stuff, only the usual army of internet nay sayers want to contantly wang on about the bitrate battle, it gets old quick. When u have 10,000 tunes plus, MP3 is suffient.

It is good to carry enough e cig liquids. Because electronic cigarettes are cheaper in some countries, and there is no uncertainty that a dry tank will lead to temptation.
enough e cig liquids

Vaping while you drive is fine, but as you should when eating, drinking, changing a radio station, or anything else when you’re driving – it’s important to exercise caution. If your e-cig is charged, loaded with e-liquid and ready to go, it’s safe to vape when driving than smoke.

Have to say, thought Arcadia wasn't particulary important to the overall Boomtown experience. Great to have, but not a deal breaker at all.
