    Exploring the Resurgence of Vinyl

    Back on Saturday April 16th, 2011, a group of vinyl-creating experts gathered together to discuss the resurgence of vinyl and the correct process of how to record in vinyl. Contrary to popular belief, Vinyl is actually making a comeback. People would rather pay full price for an album with 12x12 artwork instead of the small CD insert and lots of people still insist that the sound of vinyl is better than the digital counterparts we all use today. Check out what the panel had to say plus links inside.

    NI Traktor Control Vinyl (White) Feature Video

    The Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro Digital Vinyl DJ System is one of the best, if not the best, DVS solutions on the market today. I've been reviewing a lot of these DVS setups as of late, but one thing we often forget to mention is that if you are using the DVS with actual vinyl turntables, then you will eventually need to purchase new stylus and digital control vinyl as these will wear out with continuous use. Traktor offers their Digital control vinyl in many different colors to fit every DJ's needs. Check out my quick feature video of my new white Traktor Control Vinyl inside.
