Stuff I'd like

Here's a few thoughts on what I'd like from music technology going forward:
  • An interface between mixing software and something like Serato Scratch Live so you can "drive" the position through traditional terminals.

  • Alternatively, a control surface with big spinning wheels - a bit like a Pioneer CDJnnn but as a controller rather than just a CD player.

  • Even better, a "mixing appliance" - not something from Kenwood, but a hardware unit that provides multitrack playback and remixing.

I find hardware boxes more fun to use - I've got an old Boss DR-202 drum machine that I picked up on TradeMe - excellent toy! I also still prefer a real vinyl 12" to a CD.
