i think it looks awesome! It would look crazy with huge screens behind the DJ showing the wave forms moving & being manipulated!  Smiley

Wouldn't it kind of suck for the DJs who don't actually DJ but just pretend to while playing pre-mixed sets on a CD player though?

I'd say being so new that they're still pretty expensive - probably too expensive for Lou Lou.

They wouldn't suit her because she would still have to mix.

That ain't nothing compared to Daft Punk dragging and dropping fucking blocks of sound Tetris-stylee in this clip...

This would have to be a DJ's version of lip-synching, hey?

pretty sure they are using the jazzmutant lemur touch screen controllers to trigger the sounds so nah it's not lip syncing

edit - yep it's on the jazzmutant site http://www.jazzmutant.com/news.php#daft

Looks cool but not practical. In the vid, I noticed a heap of latency in the touch screen. Maybe that would improve in time. Would be a thumbs down for me.
They just look too massive. Could be the fish eye lens though.
