Yes, pretty well coordinated button pushing there and they got some good mixer control skills too with their crab and reverse hamster scratches. However, controlling the mixers only 1/2 the equation of the true art form of scratching.
Definately interesting though. At least they take their art to a next level by incorporating more skill than all other users can do, just like turntablists. Good for them.
This reminded me of the "producer competitions" that I've seen before.
Here's what Rich, Mike, Jon Jon, and all us "vinyl purists" have to say to that 1/2 of the equation:
I thought they were as good as any of the scratch groups I have seen, like C2C or Birdy Nam Nam. They are performing original material, that they have practiced. The crowd seemed to like them, and didn't care what they were using. I think that is all that matters. We need to stop using the term "vinyl purist" around here. Real "vinyl purist", do not use computers. They only use vinyl records. TCV and a computer, will not get you into that club.
My point exactly man and his music.. hence the qoutes :) the post was for people that hit the boards and knock the software...bottom line is do the people like what you doing?..if so good..if not...practice makes improvement...*lol*

This is coming from who? A non-turntablist?!
LOL!
The reason lots of world renowned turntablists (who have never had a yellow page ad) AND turntablists the world around (who do more than private parties) use digital solutions is exactly because we're not giving up ANY of our traditional equipment (turntables, needles, vinyl).
TCV = Time Code VINYL.
It doesn't matter if there's musical sounds or timecode signal in the grooves of the vinyl record, it's still a vinyl record.
Regardless we're called "turntablists", not "vinylists".
