Final Scratch Immitation?

Same idea....... better or worse?!

I was actually waiting for some final scratchlike stuff to be released. Nothing is as good to the prices as some nice competition. (Unless when the store goes broke, thats even better!!! )

Interesting... I wonder if it will be as good quality as Final Scratch? For some reason I seem to think it'll be a cheap imitation that doesn't have as good technology, but I could be proved wrong

This almost has nothing to with final scratch.. This product is more like that mixman dmx2 thing that was out, it's more of a toy than a serious professional dj product. Final scratch uses real decks, and your mixer, this does not, making it a toally different class of product.

EDIT: err, you beat me Nou

Indeed this is just a hardware controller surface, such things exist quite some time already (BPM Studio, Numark etc). Nothing to do with the concept of coded vinyls/cd's like Final Scratch.

The only alternatives I've seen already are D-Vinyl and an OEM product (I think American dj uses that) that uses coded cd's to control the audio files.

D-Vinyl is different to Final scratch because it uses relative timecode, FS uses absolute (if you put your needle further into the vinyl, you skip further into the audio file). D-vinyl records also end in a continuous loop, coded also. So you can virtually play as long files as you want (in FS it's limited to 12 minutes I thought).

if the idea was refined, it might make a decent product, but this looks like a toy to me.

I use the 45 side, caz its better acuracy and more responsive.

thats true, somehow the 33 side
is less responsive,
i find it easier to be spinning on the 45 side with FS
tho some prefer 33 for somereason

Well don't you notice this with 45 RPM normal records as well? It is just one area where FS is almost the same as real vinyl. 45s are more "accurate" because they are going faster so pressure to the platter has less of an affect (which is good, smaller = more precise). This is what I think at least
