Ok, hang on let me edit this This video is from Rasteri who is the baddest mfer in dj gear, undisputed. He hacked the chip in this mixer and changed the auto cuts to actual scratches, which proves (again) hes a genius, but it proves that auto cuts can be useful. I think (as I posted on here years ago about my own tinkering with my 06 samurai) that by using the auto cuts (not just for their auto functions, but in conjunction with manual cutting) that entirely new scratches can be created.
