Audio sounds the same with the SL1, its about CD quality (i know it depends on bit rate of my mp3s) but to my ears thats how it sounds. My latency is at 5ms or 1/4 on the slider. Havent mess with the chained fx's because im not a real fan, but I will try it and respond back. TBH serato is catching up to traktor in the fx's world and its nice to see that they are taking a serious look at midi. I cant wait until they take internal mode more serious and it will be knocking on Traktors door. |

But I will say that I've gotten opportunities to play places that would have refused me if I had said something like "nah, I only know Traktor." These places are lame and the other DJ's who run operations like this are not very cool, but to me a solid gig is a solid gig. |

| Cristian Carmona 16.09.2010 | @Proben serato is really push midi and has jumped on fxs, heck they have "super knobs"...wonder where they got that idea from? Be yes serato is plug and play and the default settings have you playing in no time. |
| Danae Dumler 16.09.2010 | I used serato for a few years before switching to TSP and it has always been incredibly easy to use. I actually bought it only hours before a gig and used it at the gig -- it was that easy to use. (I had watched people use it before that so I wasn't driving completely blind but literally the first time I actually hooked it up to a system was that very evening - at the Viper Room of all places, hehe). I did have some vinyl with me for backup but I didn't need it (though I did play a couple songs anyway). It's really set up for people to be able to move from vinyl to DVS almost transparently, and it's pretty good for that purpose -- obviously when I used it that first time I didn't have time to analyze my tracks or any of that; the only prep I had was reading the manual while pounding a burger.... I haven't used it since version 1.8 I believe but I installed 2.1 on my machine so I might play with it at some point. I actually really like Serato, it just doesnt have the flexibility of Traktor, particularly with MIDI and effects. |
| Cristian Carmona 16.09.2010 | thank you sir! you can add serato ready to your resume! dont forget to download the timecode cds for the club incase they only have cdjs |
| Takisha Hodulik 16.09.2010 | bump "to keep it real" |
| Takisha Hodulik 30.08.2010 | a bit of a late bump, but thought id share got back to campus and went over to a friends place to use his vinyl and such (he uses serato SL1) I hooked up my laptop via usb and it recognized it almost instantly, pretty much plug and play. We jammed for about 2 hours. This was my FIRST time using serato and I must say, If you have been usin traktor for while, u should have no problem picking up serato. Beatmatching is loads easier than it seems, the peacks on serato wave display helps loads. after 2 mixes I was able to perfectly beatmatch all the rest of my mixes perfectly. I even learned how to jump from 128 electro to 140 dubstep most clubs in the US should have an SL1 or 3 box and serato gear . It really is plug and play guys. I can safely say that after using it for just 2 hours, I am confident i can use it ant any club that has it available Gianmarco |

| Maisie Marras 13.08.2010 | i havnt heard rusko mix, but mixing dubstep is uber easy because 9 out of 10 times the intro and break down of a song will be 32 beats long just hit play and/ or fade to the middle and the cut out the first song on the drop if rusko cant do that its because he's high while playing. and if he cant do it when hes not high....ouch |

| Dj LsEx 13.08.2010 | I've heard that Serato is about as popular in Europe as Traktor is here in the states. Which is to say it's isn't really. Confirm/deny? SSL is the default kit here. I'd estimate that I've met probably one Traktor Scratch user for every five Serato users. |
| Marshall Aby 14.08.2010 | No worries mate! Circumstances differ. I just reckon that, in the UK, having a Serato 'backup' isn't necessary! Any other UK jocks believe the same/different? |
| Cristian Carmona 14.08.2010 | Look im just trying to keep it real. Here in Los Angeles, and for most of the USA...us traktor/midi dj are looked at sd "button pushers" & are refered as 2nd class djs next to Serato DJs. Im really tired of djs asking how do I get gigs and how do I get my foot in the club. Well here it is, LEARN how to use Serato! and once you become a superstar dj then you can play on what ever tickles your pickle! To play in this game you have to be 2 steps ahead. What if some other dj is a no show and you have to do a set on cds? or Serato? and there is no room for your digital setup? After I get back from the DJ Expo Ill show you what I have in my DJ bag. Macbook Pro/VCI-100/Audio 8 & 2/Serato & Traktor Vinyl Timecodes/CD Booklet with Regular CDs & Serato & Traktor CD Timecodes/Needles & Slipmats/Flashlight and a midget! |
| Marshall Aby 14.08.2010 | If I can't practise mixing at home without buying the hardware then I'll pass... Plus, I haven't got enough time to use, maintain and learn 2 seperate systems. Plus, I'm happy with what Traktor provides. I can haul my system around in a laptop backpack and set it up anywhere with or without CDJs, turntables or Serato... And I should add that, in the UK, I've never actually played a venue that has an SSL box built in. ...but that of course is just my own subjective experience. I'm sure users of other DVS feel the same about their DVS. |
| Dj LsEx 13.08.2010 | JesC: QUALITY POST! I own Traktor Scratch Pro, but I love that I can go anywhere and use other peoples' gear to DJ with Serato. Do it, even if you're primarily using midi. Install SSL, analyze your track collection, play around with the single deck and learn the keyboard shortcuts. And get more gigs than anyone else without hauling your entire setup around by being flexible. It's the professional thing to do. |

I tried going through the setup button but i cant see anytihng that will let me add a second deck or configure my waveforms to horizontal or verticle any thoughts? |
| Trish Ernestine 12.08.2010 | yeah i agree traktor has more to offer for me, but i can and do use serato. If i use my friends gear . |

| Takisha Hodulik 12.08.2010 | colored waveforms are my porn |
| Cristian Carmona 12.08.2010 | yes the software is free, you need the interface to use it at gigs and play on 2 decks. |
