Kevin Saunderson on Final Scratch

Techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson goes to work on the new Final Scratch MP3 Technology
The face of DJing is changed forever. Prepare to forget everything you already know and be blown away by the most innovative piece of DJing technology for years. This is simply MP3 mixing combined with the hands-on approach of turntables. Hook up your laptop to a special phono connector, hook your decks to the same place and use special Final Scratch vinyl to play and control MP3s via your decks. I was sceptical when I first heard about this kit, but after working out how to put all it together I couldn't leave it alone!

The responsiveness of the audio from your MP3 files is crazy. No matter how fast you pull and push the Final Scratch vinyl back and forth it always feels like a normal 12". In the mix it sounds great, in my opinion it sounds best with MP3s that are above 160 kbps or so, but I'll leave it up to you to decide. I have thousands of records that I could never dream of carrying to gigs but now I guess I can take as many as I like. The likes of Richie Hawtin and DJ Craze have been using Final Scratch religiously while out on the road. And if you're serious about your DJing, you won't want to be without this.
