Hey all,
Recently I got into a conversation with the dnb sales head at my local record shop regarding the "crispness" of CDJ's in regards to more 'minimal' sounding dnb, (INstra:mental, D-bridge, Alix Perez, Sabre, Bop).
We were both kind of agreement over the notion that some tunes seem to sound a bit better on cdjs rather than vinyl, and we both agreed this may have something to do with the larger amount of 'space' in between the hits of this more stripped down, yet still complex sub genre of dnb.
This because on vinyl I find with more 'dead air' theres a greater chance for the analogue to show its skin, that is, faint hissing and/or crackles.
I could ofcourse be very wrong, as I just rented a cdj 800 for the first time, coming from vinyl, so maybe im just in the midset that since its new to me, Im looking to justify the rental.
Dont take this the wrong, its not supposed to be a Vinyl Vs.CDJ debate in anyway, I just want to get some feedback and see if Im coming from a valid point.
Thanks!
