Two new dj controllers have recently been announced, but what doe’s this mean for the traditional dj booth. With a decrease in vinyl usage, is it not long before cds follow, digital takes over and all that is needed is a small empty space. These pieces of hardware/software certainly do feed speculation.

First some software that enables djing on windows based touchscreen devices (iPad software in development). Product page.

Second, although not a new concept, native instruments, with their high quality and thoughtful creations, have produced a comprehensive dj controller for Traktor with four channels and much more. Product page.

Third, out for over a year but unique in its user interface is Pacemaker, completely removing the need for a booth. Product page.

Final food, the simple two channel hands on approach.
