I think personally, I'd like to see hardware which can completely remove elements of the track i.e vocals or whatever. Especially for DJ use, I suppose this can be done to an extent with laptop sets, but it would be nice if mixers advance to faciliate live remixes and or whatever. Mixers maybe with digitial interfaces and LCD screens but with faders and knobs for that 'hands on' feel with better samples and effects onboard and assignable midi-controls so you can hook up a laptop, shut the lid and completely use the mixer and intergrate the aspects of cubase, ableton or protools with physical vinyl or whatever. Apparently theres a new Xone mixer coming out that acheives some of these things, but I guess we're gonna have wait a while for shit like that at a affordable price + with a universial nature.
That is a really good idea actually, say like a cd that acts as a multitrack, so you could just take out certain parts when mixing....
