Scratch that – specifically for electronic musicians using PCs, rather than Macintosh computers. This isn't just Apple-bashing ad copy, however. The site is launching in beta format featuring a video shot and instructional interview with DJ Spooky, a New York-based music collagist with plenty of art and street cred. A quick perusal shows Crossfader seems to be serious about becoming a forum where musicians can swap ideas and tips on software and production techniques."</i><br /><br />Not a bad idea. DJ's can really push a format and making it much easier for them to use Windows just makes business sense. <a href="http://www.crossfader.com/">Corssfader</a> is a really interesting site and anyone who is interested in music should check it out.

This is the best-designed Microsoft site I've ever seen. :)

I agree.

This is actually a good way for Microsoft to get their name out to artists. As a general rule most artists use a Mac to do their work.

You have a typo on the link, 'Corssfader'.

Cool site.

Atleast I just discovered that DJ Spooky has a new CD coming out. I may have to give it a listen. :)
