Re: [linux-audio-user] Re: dj-ing hardware under Linux

Hi Lee, A friend of mine and I have been thinking the same for a while and over the next few months we intend to invest some time and money into making a new hardware controller running embedded linux and using linux Audio software. Imagine the hercules pc dj with a usb/flash card slot and monitor to allow you to easily cue tracks. You could carry a whole set on your usb flash drive and never have to worry about heavy vinyl, scratched cds, turntables, faulty cdjs or dirty mixers again. It will be an all in one machine. The purpose of having the usb slot is to make it very easy to keep your set up to date. Over here in Thailand many DJ's have final scratch and use 300kb mp3s for an entire set, I hear it's happening more in Europe and the US too. Part of the specs require adding midi cc support to jackEQ. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
