Do "real" dj's only use vinyl?

A question I asked because so many people give me drama because I use cd's. So I just want to know what everyone uses and what they think makes a "real" dj.

i started off djing with dj softwares used in conjunction with controllers. that way i had auto-sync which syncs one track to the other. thats totally "cheating" if you put it that way, but the result is whats important. now i use a full pioneer 400K setup, and i totally love it. what i miss the most about the dj softs is the waveform. because i dont consider it normal that you should remember each track. where the crescendo is, where it breaks etc. thats why you have a waveform to see it.

@LogoMproductions I don't judge anyone for what they use, To each his own. But one thing I used to love about buying records was listening to the tracks until I learned them. I didn't take long, just a couple of times. Even though i'm more digital now, I still listen to all the tracks I get just so I can know my music better. It's a habit for me. Regarding seeing the changes coming, you can do that with records also by reading the grooves.

@salfirebird92 I don't trip on anyone. It's just their opinion. Most people don't know I learned and used vinyl for a long ass time. It is what it is. I'm surprised this video still gets so many comments on it. lol

A REAL DJ is anyone that can put on music and keep people entertained. Whether your using an NS7, a mixer and two vinyl turntables or even an iPod with an app it doesnt matter. If people are enjoying what you're playing. Your not a DJ to make things as difficult as possible, your a DJ to play music that people enjoy. 99% of the time the audience doesnt care what your using as long as music is playing, and thats what matters.

vinyl's betta for scratching, id use a old skool turntable on the side for that, lol if i was a dj.... haha

bro i use the cdx and i love them man, there's always haters out there no matter what you use. if they ain't complaining about what your mixing with they complain about some other stupid things. props to you and all djs that are there doing their grind and loving music for what it is and that is keeping the crowd rocking. if you rock the mic, rock the one's and two's and smile and peeps when they smile and not be a prick about it then your ok in my book homie.
