This sounds a bit like the Marsalis/Crouch argument that to produce "real" music, you have to use real acoustic instruments.....any music produced electronically is inauthentic, unartistic, and inhuman. That is, for a DJ to really produce "art" you need two (or more) turntables, RECORDS, and a mixer. But there's a slippery slope here. Hell, back in the day I thought that anything that would modify the pitch FOR you was a cop out. USE YOUR F'ING HANDS!!! Part of the "art" was figuring out how to blend No Way Back with Nude Photo....and I wasn't with some machine that would figure out how to do it FOR me...... But with the CD Mixer this seems to have changed. Which brings up the question....what's the difference between a cd mixer and a program that does the same task? peace les
