<< hmmm... I'd say that turntables will go the way of the guitar (that they've replaced). Sure guitars are still played, but are our kids going to be right into what we listen to? How many people these days are right into Motown or Duke Ellington (for example)? Many respect it (and many haven't heard enough, but there is too much recorded music now to digest properly I think), but their statements have already been made. So you can't go out and be a part of a great Jazz show the way you could when it was cutting everything else. Different periods of time value different sounds in music. Maybe a computer mixer that can play unlimited tracks similtaneously with sounds you make and samples and wave files and loops, will have an easier time generating music that people will want to hear in 20 years? Now I'm not attacking anything about what's going on these days that I love, but imo it has to pass. my $0.02 Rich:) >> i agree here as well. this ties into a point richie hawtin made in an interview i saw. the question was, what is the next step that technology will take as far as dj'ing? (something along those lines). He basically went on to say that an interface is needed for all of the new things going on...i.e computers, mp3's etc.
