Yeah I know about the sun and vinyl story - They bend very easily and are hard to get into shape again. Still, I dont see that as a main reason for the DATs being so popular back then. (I see it as a very good reason not to depend on vinyl in the sun though).
Given the choice, the preferred medium would not be DAT, thats the point isnt it ?

"I have to say it's actually possible to beatmix on DAT's if you have the experience and know your DAT machines well plus know the BPM of the tracks. I did it many times and I know other DJ's who did it. "
Well, how will you do a perfectly structured beatmix unless you can cue the track on top of the start beat, and release that track into the mix EXACTLY on top of the right beat in the next track ? With no pitch bend, that cannot be very precise...
I dont believe anybody can do that consistently, and Ill believe it when I see it

"I stil stronly think that a DJ that select the right tracks at the right time and have some skill in mixing the tracks so the mixes dont interfere in the journey are to be prefered over a technical very good DJ that just dont got the connection with the Dancefloor. At the end of the day what makes a good DJ is his or her ability to communicate with the Dancefloor."
Nobody here is saying otherwise - But you can be both, both a great mixer and great at creating flow thru right trackselection and sequencing.
