Guest dundeedavie Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 i'm curious , are there any tracks out there that are only available on mp3 ? in that mp3 is the original format ?
Sebastian Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Yes. Loads of new soul/house/(any genre really) indie releases only gets released as MP3s. Or preferably as high quality WAV or FLAC.
Guest dundeedavie Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 any ideas of where to get such things ?
Simon M Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 any ideas of where to get such things ? amazon , traxsource plus juno
Russ Vickers Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Try going onto the Essential Modern Soul Forum for recommendations..........also there are a lot of unsigned artists out there who use the WWW to get there products heard, these can be truly exclusive. I dont mind Mp3's, but i must admit, theres nothing like being able to hold something & touch it as well as hear it, also i kinda like the sleeve notes & photos etc, you get with vinyl & CD's. Hope this helps Russ
Mike Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 used to have a fair few posting current recomendations but appears to have dropped off over last few months
Larry Semmins Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) Jeff Ramsey debut set out now as download and Fish has it as a CD could be album of the year I.M.O. even better than that! Neil Thomo's mix of Mario Biondi/ SOS Band " This is the Finest" due as a 12" as Well a 200 run of DJ only 12s playing this constantly at the mo' could be a monster this just love it.

Guest dundeedavie Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 But can you play an Og WAV without a laptop Then use a laptop loaded with dj software .. There is plenty out there like virtual dj and pioneer djs for example , just another tool alongside decks and CDs

Ive been using DJ software since the year 2000 But whats the law on CDR's for DJ's ? Edited November 4, 2009 by Simon M

Just out of curiosity why not an iPod , it's only a more efficient storage facility than a cdr ... No ? 2 jack to phono cables and off ya pop

I think there is FireWire now ... I'm not advocating this btw just thinking out loud and opening up the discussion :-)

phillyDaveG Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Don't forget CDBaby. They now do most of their albums as downloads, and many single tracks too. Probably a better bet if you are more soul orientated than House/garage.
