Although there are CD decks in the hardcore arena's and some dj's do use them.....Believe Me they mainly use vinyl especially Sy for his scratching :-)

they'll have cd decks on some nights but if they use them then fair play to them. easier getting a brand new track burned onto cd than going through a record press innit

Well I'm sure almost all djs use cds occaisionally.
But Sy definately doesnt use them for the "bulk" of his sets.
Im just a bassline addict
Im just a hardcore addict
Im just a dancefloor manic
Why o why cant you just accept it.

there's no difference between playing cd's and vinyl. one way or another, they're playing the same tunes.

During the last couple of months worth of internationally-headlined raves I noticed most (if not all) of the internationals played off CD. In this case at least you also have to consider the relative bulk of vinyl compared to CD, in that they had to bring their music over from the UK.

I know UFO and storm use all CD decks, most DJ's prefer to drop a promo tune on CD as it costs like 1 dollar rather than 50 for a dub plate.

Never realised so many have moved over. Seems logical and glad that's what I have done. Still would really like to get a deck to go with the system so i can learn how to scratch properly, all stratching boards sound poo.
Cds are cheaper, easier to carry, and have more than two tunes on them, Vinyl is at a serious disadvantage. Still it is the original hardcore style. For me just to late.
Your into the sound of Rebellion

I still love vinyl... nothing will ever replace it... even if I am forced to use CD's to play promo.

not to mention heaps of tunes only come out on 12" and all those old classics.
i spose you could wack them on your pute then burn them to cd, but that would take ages and in the long run it would just be easier to lug that heavy vinyl round.
sill im getting a CD deck soon, not for hardcore, but for psy and goa...cant wait to get my hands on the new denon table top player its so leet =D

Ummm ... what do you mean by this? You can probably get a record to CD via your soundcard and hard-drive (leaving a back-up soft-copy, of course) in just a bit more time than it takes to play it.
But as others have said, nothing'll match the feel of vinyl (except maybe Final Scratch, but I've never tried that).

i will have pretty much converted over to cd now, getting a cdj800 next week, i find the sound quality to be far finer (no point arguing over sound quality within hardcroe cos its all masterd off cd anyway) and its cheaper than gettin dubs pressed, vinyls ok, but its too big and flexible, and annoying, and dependant on conditons where ur playin (stylus has to be good etc)
loads of people winge at me, "but haha you have to take your cd decks everywhere"
imagine if cd was the standard... imagine the **** of lugging 2 1210's with you to every gig :)
