How can you say FS is the workaround and then hail a CD deck that has a spinning platter...

Assuming that vinyl's days are numbered (which I'm not) then its the bloody DJs that are the 'workaround'. I mean why else would you have a CD deck with spinning platter on top of it... Come on take a step back and think about it - its preposterous - this is technology catering from an old legacy user interface - namely 'the decks'...

Once a new generation of digital djs emerge, the idea of having a couple of spinning plates will be seen as ridiculous as not having midi...

I mean why bother with this or FS, you gotta laptop - get a copy of Ableton live and midi control box and hey presto - god know I've heard enough so called live sets that are nothing more than a bunch of loops triggered in Ableton - that's practically mixing records any way...
