Salut Thom,
[...]
 JK>>>> Why do you use Vinyl?
 TK>>> Because that is what the people want....and what they want the DJ's to
 TK>>> do.. Also because vinyl is better to control in a mix than CD.
 JK>> I don't know if Vinyl is better to control in a mix than CD.
 TK> I'm sorry, I didn't mean the mixdown of the sound but the 'art' of
 TK> synchronising the record to the beat...what art it may be anyway :)
That's what I meant too. I've seen people do really amazing things with a 
double cd-player :-)
 JK>> But from my observations, you cannot generally say that the people want
 JK>> vinyl. I often see audiences that don't care at all where the music 
comes
 JK>> from, as long as they like it.
 TK> Yes that's right....I can't see into peoples minds....I still wonder 
hat
 TK> they like about dance for instance....It depends on the audience a
 TK> bit....mainstream audience don't mind at all as long as there's some 
eer
 TK> left .....
Ah, yes, you're right.
 JK>> But then again, Luxemburg is not the Netherlands, so thios might vary
 JK>> with the country.
 TK> It's a bit strange here, you know.....it is very difficult to get 
ecords
 TK> here...everything is on CD in the regular shops.....Anyway, DJ's don't
 TK> seem to have any problems to get records....and lot of them still use
 TK> it...
Really? The techno/house dj's here always tell me, that it's so much easier 
to get records in the Netherlands.
 JK>> I'm sorry if i did offend you. I didn't intend this.
 TK> Thanks Joe...I'm glad you write this...no offence taken...
Thanks to you.
 JK>> And yes, I've seen more than the folder of the local audioshop. I 
appen
 JK>> to mix 80-90 concerts/year, FOH or Monitor.
 TK> Great!, I'm doing about 50 a year, have done monitors a lot at the
 TK> arena...doing FOH more and more nowadays...lots of them is freelance
 TK> work.
Mine are all freelance. I still got a tiny bit of school to finish...
 JK>> I'm sorry that you're angry. I didn't want to hurt your feelings. Where
 JK>> my questions really that annoying?
 TK> Euhm...I felt it that way....euhm....If I knew you didn't meant it that
 TK> way I wouldn't have reacted so explosive......I'm sorry...my apologies
 TK> for my bad temper....
No offence taken.
 JK>> I assure you, I do like music.
 TK> I believe you...If you didn't you wouldn't be a sound engineer...
 JK>> Now, please let's forget this, I don't want a fight with a colleague.
 TK> I only misjudged you Joe....I do apologise...I hope to see/read/hear 
rom
 TK> you soon...If you ever come to amsterdam I'll make it up to you =)
I apologise too. I'll send you a mail before my next trip to Amsterdam.
bye ....
         Joe
