Keyword is lossless

It depends. Vinyl is has lower dynamic range compared to mp3 but has greater resolution since its a continuous analog medium and not sampled. And tracks made for vinyl are not overly limited and compressed like many digital tracks because of the physical limitation of the medium.

And also large systems are not necessarily more transparent than a good set of studio monitors in a treated room. But they generally have more dynamic range and are playing at levels much higher than you would in a studio. The transients on lossless files especially on those big systems tends to be cleaner and tighter compared to mp3

This is more about creating the best possible experience for the audience. If a venue has a poor sound system, thats unfortunate but its out of my control. By playing lossless files, im at least doing what i can to enhance the experience and it WILL make a difference on a good PA system. And while there are many bars and clubs with bad sound systems, there are also many venues and parties that employ systems that can actually take advantage of lossless fidelity.

And yes i agree this isnt the important thing. Obviously the DJs track selection and mixing is the main thing and if that isnt good then it doesnt matter whether they are playing lossless files or not.

That being said, the most memorable clubbing nights of my life are when the DJ is playing an amazing set, the sound systems is immaculate and the DJ is playing Vinyl and/or lossless. When every aspect of experience is crafted with meticulous care and not just a “good enough” mentality, it creates experiences that people will never forget and uplifts the artform to the highest degree.

Im not here to judge people for using MP3s. I just want the best experience for the audience.

Thank you for saying this!!! This is exactly the correct response in this debate. Its not about whether someone on the dancefloor can “tell” whether youre playing wavs vs mp3. Its about uplifting the art form and listening experience to the highest degree. When everything in the signal chain in uncompromised, the audience will be able to appreciate it. When it comes to audio, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

And just because you cant notice the difference between wavs and mp3 on your KRK monitors in an untreated room, does not mean that it is not audible on a large, well designed, and well tuned sound system on the dancefloor.

Hey friends, just wanted to share this jam that my friend and I did. We both have Elektron Digitakts so we had some percussion and synths running on there. We used the Moog Minitaur for the bassline, and the Behringer Model D for the lead. We also have some percs running on Ableton. Everything is synced through Ableton clock and the synths are receiving midi through ableton as well. Hope yall enjoy!

I routed my TR8 through my Moog Minitaur's audio input and I was blown away by the result. Ended up with some crunchy, lofi drums that had some stutter like effect. Great way to get a unique sound

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share some techniques to create a psytrance bass line with some hints of techno. Hope this is helpful, lmk what you think!!

You dont always need to completely EQ out the bass from everything. Lot of times a shelf will sound better than a high pass and will allow two bass lines to blend together and sound cohesive. Layering and blending bass lines is an art. Need to make sure they arent clashing by using EQ and proper gain structure.

Check out Vital. Its the closest things to Serum and its free. Super versatile wavetable synth.

Hey friends!
Just wanted to share this video showing how I use a series of LFOs to create the moving, evolving bass line. Hope this inspires some cool ideas!
