I was wondering, do you think NI are likely to release a fully touchscreen-friendly version of Traktor in the future?
With touchscreen interfaces becoming more and more popular, doesn't it make sense to make a touchscreen-friendly version of Traktor? Unfortunately, NI make much of their money from selling hardware, so it is possible this may never happen.
While I like the feel of hardware knobs and faders, I find analogue knobs ridiculous, because they never match the linked parameters in the software; encoders with LED rings (as found on Behringer's BCR2000) or touchscreen controllers neatly fix this problem. I actually have a couple of BCRs and I've used them in a few gigs but they are bulky and require separate power, which makes them more than ideal for a portable set-up. If Liine released a Windows version of their Lemur app, so that Traktor and Lemur can both run on the same device (no need for laptop+iPad), that would be killer. I could just turn up at the venue with a Windows Surface device, a couple of Launchpads and a small audio interface and start rocking.
