Vinyl will eventually die it's a fact and as horrible as that sounds it's true. Unless you play oldskool forever that is. A lot of new stuff is now digital only, you may well get dragged kicking and screaming to the darkside.. Serato for me is amazing and now Rane are competing with apple by bringing a new product out every 3 minutes the original SL1 is cheap. Its a pleasure to mix on and has no latency issues at all, solid as a rock!
