FINAL SCRATCH, STANTON MAGNETICS
If you havent heard about FinalScratch yet, you should climb out from under that rock. FinalScratch is a software package that with any standard turntable/mixer setup allows a DJ to manipulate digital music by hand via vinyl. The standard vinyl record included in the FinalScratch package contains digital information used to mix digital audio files, so you might be playing MP3s but youre still working with a record at your fingers. All mixing is done directly from the turntables, and the FinalScratch record can be used in combination with traditional analog records when mixing a set. It also allows the user to save the audio files in different playlists, as well to search and assign the audio files to either turntable. And users can save and load any production, remix, or new edit and play it that very moment, or take it to gig the same night. This may explain why many well-respected DJs, like Richie Hawtin and Josh Wink, are fans. And according to Henri Cohen, Director of Sales for Stanton, FinalScratch isnt just for tech-heads, but for DJs who spin any genre of music (which explains its new-found mainstream acceptance). What DJ wouldnt appreciate being able to leave his crates at home, and still be able to play with turntables at his gig? LG

CDJ-1000MKII DIGITAL VINYL TURNTABLE, PIONEER
Pioneers industry-standard CD player, the CDJ-1000, is aging well. The CDJ-1000MKII is the second generation of that already classic model, which was last years winner in this category. It has the same design and layout as its predecessor, but boasts improved feel and response, and several new features like delay-free scratching, a cue marker that is set automatically within the center display to visually represent the cue point relative to the jog dials location, a +/- 100 percent control range, a full feature digital-out function that ensures all of its digital features are carried over to any connected environment, and an extra bright display. All thats nice, but Karaoke Karl Detken, Pioneers Director of Marketing, attributes the MKIIs popularity to the simple quality of it sound output. Its so realistic that even purists cant tell the difference between vinyl and CD, he says. LG
