Sweet, thanks for the suggestions.

The interface has changed from what you commented on. The album art was a temp addition to fill the space. Its a work in progress but a pretty complete one.

I agree on the EQ knobs, i think the best solution is one another forum member suggested, and that is make the selected knob enlarge when touched and perhaps even slightly blur the rest of the interface so it makes the knob the focus point.

Good point with the loop buttons, they should be bigger for fingers as not everyone will want to use a stylus.

The time left / played is a good idea, it could be a touch to toggle option or when shift on the qwerty is held down it changes. Again this could be an option in the preferences page.

Gain knobs will be in, when the shift key is held down on the qwerty, the eq knobs will change to gain controls as well as headphone controls such as mix and level. This way you can listen to the playing track as well as the cued track and control how much of each you hear.

Seperate eject buttons for each deck helps reduce slip ups. There will be an option to toggle a warning when loading a track into a deck with an already loaded/ playing track. Just in case.

I've thought a lot about the monitor setup and i would like to keep away from anything usb. The usb port is a well known problem for the n900, and i would like to keep it free so the phone can be charged while your mixing. I think a headphone jack setup will be best. What setup though i dont know.

Pitch slider ideas are good. Pitch bend though could be another shift key shortcut. The bpm sliders change to pitch bend controls when shift is held down?

Holding down Z could just change the loop controls to the hot cue controls? Pressing the corresponding cue number on the qwerty to trigger?

This is stuff we can work out when things get going.

Thanks heaps man for the suggestions, any ideas you have be sure to post them!

Also spread the word to anyone you might think will find this interesting. The more people that know the more chance to get the project going!
