Man, as I get older I wish I could become digital content.
Lucky you.
The only people using Linux prior to 1995 are the folks on Slashdot with 4-digits-or-less user IDs. In other words, old-school hard-core geeks. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
We did a Hawtin/Aquaviva show in Toronto last summer, and they both were using Final Scratch.
It's a very impressive setup. The latency is about 12ms, which is very tight, and I doubt most people would notice it.
You prep your digital audio for use in Final Scratch, which essentially builds out an index file.
This allows you to put the needle anywhere down
on the final scratch vinyl and it jumps right away to that point in the song.
I think what I am describing here, is a 'cue' latency. Pitch and direction would obviously depend on how discrete the timecode is on the final scratch vinyl, but if it can get song position and pitch to the software and the software produces audio out all within 12 ms, surely it is that responsive for scratching.

Beowolf cluster? Is that some new fangled grid computing system?
So yeah, the guy in the 665546 id number tells us all about the old days. Come on!
indeed

same for a lot of the x0x series. The 606, 808, and 909.
nice one!
Wouldn't you think slashdot traffic is a drop in the bucket, compared to the regular LJ user traffic?
grolaw.net seems to have disappeared
Actually, originally it ran on BeOS.
