Digital DJ Turntable
Daniel Gomez-Ibanez writes "I made a digital turntable - it stores digital audio and plays it back like a record player. This lets you scratch the audio from a CD. I like it because there's no 'computer' involved- a four year old can figure it out. There's a description here." Daniel also has a more descriptive web page on the inspiration and design of this beast.
i noticed he has also designed a dithering razor. it says it reduces the cutting force by 50%. Does it mean it cuts 50% less? will it be like my old razor blades... where it feels like i'm cutting my face with sand paper? i thought that was cooler than his turntable.
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Remember when Batman (played by Keaton) recorded the Penguin (Devito) onto a CD and then replayed it?
It always bugged me how Batman then 'scratched' the CD as if it were a record (which obviously is not possible)
Makes me wonder if this project was based on the same 'annoyance' and wanted to make something that would work.
"Where is my mind?"
Even though most dj's these days are MP3 whores, it would be refreshing to see some of this oldschool turntable style with more available media - We could slowly but surely be moving torwards an era of music like the one depicted in ReMix
a couple of pics and a paragraph made good reading a while back... At least put up a nice shiney golden left edge border or something.

Blah. I guess to each their own.
American DJ has been making CD-players with a built-in scratch box for a gooooood while . No need to gloat about old technology.
