DJ's / Producers =>> What do you think of SERATO SCRATCH?
 

its 8:22am, just got back from the club.

i think im going to wake up in a few hours and go buy SERATO SCRATCH.

this is totally an impulse buy...

if any other dj/producer/music heads are up right now..

what are your opinions on it...

i heard FINAL SCRATCH is shitty...

hopefully i get some replies when i wake up.

i think ill buy it anyways regardless, just for the hell of it

I had Final Scratch version 1 (not the new version 2). Didn't have problems like some were experiencing, but then I'm not a tech noob. Version 2 and Serato are supposed to be better designed.

Make sure you have high quality MP3s or you know how to rip vinyl to MP3. 320kbps. 192kbps is sufficient.

cool man thanks for the reply...


what type of laptop u recommend..

the one i use now is 512 RAM, i think a 2gig processor..

how well do the latency settings work?

you can make them your self... seriously, a friend of mine did it with some time coded vinyls and some opensource program

cost him like $80 total.

Can't remember latency, but I think it's low enough to mix but not good enough to do extreme scratchs, around ~1ms latency.

Try the Rane Serato forum:

Check the video too:

I'm aware of how they work, they don't compare to these systems though. Like Numark and Allen&Heath equipment, one is $100 and the latter is $2k for a reason.

He supafly like tnt

this is a must for any serious dj

Did you try it out?

I came across http://www.traxsource.com/ last week, MP3s of white labels too in 320kbps, too bad I'm not into this genre or DJing anymore.

dude, I have worked on Serato and Final Scratch both, and Serato is FAR FAR FAR superior to Final Scratch

the cue points, the tracking, everything is much better on the Serato system

Serato is what anyone who is a professiona is going for now, I haven't heard someone say they wanted Final Scratch in a long time, everyone wants Serato

that is basically just a digital download site, there are a ton of them
