Is this really the future?

So, is it?

I dont know how many of you have seen things like this. It is the first time i have seen anything like it. Seems pretty cool. Just threading it to see if people can give some feedback on what he is using (and i dont mean Traktor) but the screen specs and... if people really think this is how it will all turn end up.

I doubt it is the "future" but it is a possibility for new ways to mix, however the lack of tactile buttons forces me to reject it was a possibility for me in the future. but hey good look to whoever does it.

yeh we talked about this ages ago, wazza is actually making 1 of these DIY, cant wait to see it finished

but nah i dont think its the future

[CBG]

people are already doing, in a smaller medium. Michael Woods, Steve Duda, Deadmau5, Sasha, they all use touch pads to control their software. Usually an iPad or Lemur

[legunner]

Yeh i have seen them, but im pretty sure they also use a piece of hardware such as the xone 4d in deadmau5' case to control the primary functions. i may be wrong though.

I reckon this is just a gimic. Could very well happen but at this stage I doubt we'll see it or anything like it

[FabDJ]

[Tomy]

I think its the future, but for DJ performances not necessarily the actual act of Dj'ing.

With software like VDJ etc anyone can start 'mixing' their own tunes. Watching some dude behind a desk tweaking the buttons on a midi controller will get old pretty quickly. More established DJ's will look for new ways to keep their established markets by making themselves more exciting to watch. Look at the efforts that Deadmau5 goes to too make it more of a visual experience. I reakon the likes of Tiesto will be using one of these in the near future.

[LabRat]

Deadmau5 isn't djing though. He's performing his own music and "ghost" productions. Tiesto and armin van buuren started doing this ages ago but they're very established dj's / producers and people pay just to see them for 5hrs

[Lurk6r]

If anything, this will be the future of Djing.

seems like a necessary hair cut for the spider on ya head
