we shall see. people have been predicting the imminent demise of vinyl for some decades now, and they have all been very wrong so far. just as analogue synths have not been replaced by more modern digital products, despite manufacturers endlessly hyping their supposed advantages, digital decks have been very slow to replace technics, despite being promoted as the next big thing.

cast your mind back to when the Pioneer CDJs first came out. The word was out that here, finally, was the technic beater. now they are relegated to a few niche markets, like psy trance mixing, and im willing to bet the latest attempt at a digital turntable will go the same way.

Final scratch has a shitloads more success at penetrating the market, coz it looks and feels the same as mixing proper vinyl, the new technics simply cant offer this unique advantage.
