I got 2 touchscreens and a microphone...

A long time ago in a DJ booth far, far away I used to spend my time mixing these odd black discs that contained a groove on each side. Looking back it sounds strange, but it seemed quite natural at the time and the warm sound of vinyl is far superior to this day imho.

When digital audio became the standard towards the end of the 1900's, most deejays I knew preferred the feel of mixing vinyl. The main thing that bugged me about mixing CDs was not being able to "read" the groove of the song and predict breaks and changes in the music. This was solved with software/turntable based systems like Serato Sratch Live which allow you to manipulate mp3s on a laptop using synced timecode LPs on turntables. I was skeptical at first, but it's the real deal. I would probably feel weird carrying a thumb-drive instead of milk-crates, but I am sure I could get over that quickly! I'm not sure how you get your friends into the club free by letting them help carry your thumb-drive tho.

If you are wondering, yes, there is a current point to all this. It appears someone has taken digital mixing a step further using some flat mounted touch panels.

They call it Attigo TT. Check out the video. It doesn't look like it would have the same feel as spinning records, but maybe I'm just old school. Or perhaps just old.
