Control Digital Audio With Turntables

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the all-that-scratching-is-making-me-itch dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Harmony Central has a NAMM article about FinalScratch which is a digital audio controller technology for Linux/BeOS, so DJ's can play digital audio and keep the tactile control of the turntable. Some interesting technology there, and a further push for digital audio." Another one for CowboyNeal's birthday list.

    Believe it or not, there is actually a turntable that uses a laser out there. Very expensive, but very good sound quality. The LPs aren't as prone to wear out since there is no physical contact, and the laser gets percision that only the best styluses can match. If you're an analogue buff with $13,000 to kill, then it's probably a nice toy to have.
