But will it do the do?!?! And if it does, will it do it in REAL time? I've learned mixing on vinyl and now switched mostly to playing CDs. Nothing like the sound of vinyl, and that is pure physics! With CDs I can get more creative and spice up the mix 1 notch. But if all this wouldn't have been in real time, there would be no point. Performance doesn't wait for slow connections, wi-fi interfierence and lost signals. Would get one for going on holidays though :) Looking high tech and "gadgety". But will it do the do?!?!

I mean the electric guitar is essentially the same instrument it has been for a while, and turntables should be the same way. I dj and recently started using Scratch Live which is a great tool, and the advantage of not having to carry around hundreds of records to every show is nice. BUT I still buy viynal and use turntables and a standard mixer. I think that as with any instrument computers can't really take the place of real skill. Great musicians (djs included) are great performers who partice their trade tirelessly. Undoubtedly though there will be someone who takes up any new program or gadget and does something cool as hell with it! I agree that there is no need for extreme gadgetry in DJing.

After seeing Public Enemy and DJ Lord on stage recently, i think that's what i'll always be rockin' with. Peace to DJ Lord and all dj's who still use turntables. DJ'ing is an art.

No need to worry about beat-matching anymore. The DJ can focus on other aspects of the Mix, like what tracks can inter-twine with other tracks. Ritchie Hawtin mixes with Traktor using its 4-deck method. Very cool. However, Jeff Milligan of the RevolverCanada label mixes on 4 real-life turntables SIMULTANEOUSLY, with beats matched almost perfectly. So, I guess that it's about personal preference whether you want to invest the time in practicing your craft, or if you just want an easy solution to give you the freedom to mix in interesting ways. But, again, the one thing that is constant (or SHOULD be) is the importance of keeping your crowd engaged, whether it be through scratching (turntablism), through playing pumping, dance-floor oriented tracks, or through mixing deep, intelligent music. The people are infinitely more important than gear. Yes, definitely — like Native Instruments' "Traktor". No need to worry about beat-matching anymore.
