[QUOTE="Jiglo, post: 845752, member: 3953"] I mix original vinyl and timecode vinyl using Serato Scratch Live. I could probably get away with just using the timecode for everything, but I can't be bothered ripping all my collection to mp3 or wav, so a typical mix these days I use both, where as up to around 4 years ago I was 100% original vinyl. Last 3 sets playing out at Picks I played 60% original vinyl/40% Serato the first, then 100% original vinyl at the second, then 100% Serato at the last. I got the best feedback from Benny for the first and the best feedback from the crowd at the second, so Serato isn't a magic wand (in my hands at least :P) and some people are still impressed and give you props for playing original vinyl, at least if you're playing stuff they like. Last set I played on OSA I mixed with both, but I made 2 monumentally big fuck ups, when I loaded a new track onto a playing deck, and twice in the same set :$ It couldn't have happened with original vinyl as the worst that could happen there is you either stop a playing deck (and quickly restart it again once you realise your error), or you temporarily lift the needle off then quickly put it back on somewhere near where you lifted it from. It does however give you the freedom to play pretty much whatever you want, that you can find or rip yourself anyway. Also Scratch Live can't beat sync like Traktor does, it's never been a feature and never likely to be a feature, so is a much closer experience for the vinyl purist, so maybe you made the wrong choice there if beat syncing takes the fun away for you.
