On the subject of scratching,:I came across an IPhone/IPad app called DJay. It lets you do scratching, beat matching, adding effects, pitch shifting, stuttering and all sorts of other stuff. It seems as if this would be amazing for someone sighted. I would love to be able to use it. I only downloaded it last night (for 69 pense incidentally) and I managed to load a track and do some scratching with it. I also got some stuttering, EQ changes, speed changes and pitch shifting going, and bit crushing too. You have to turn Voice Over off (pressing the home key 3 times) once the track is loaded so that you can do the scratching and stuff. I think I might use it in my next DJ project but it will be a case of just plugging it into my sound card, experimenting with it for a while and then taking the best results and matching it to my project. I haven't managed to work out how to do specific things on it as such; it is more just a case of tapping and sliding aroudn the screen and listening to what crazy things happen.
The good news though is that you can hook it up to a control surface (not sure which ones) and so this might give us more accessibility. We'll get there my friends!
