Is this a good deal? Serato Scratch Live SL1 Digital DJ Syst

[Jaytee]

Hey all.

Just stumbled across this.

Is this a good deal?

From what I know, with this Serato Scratch Live package you play the songs straight off your computer (rather than using individual vinyls).

What does it actually come with? Just 2 SSL vinyls, hardware thingy and some cords?

So you only need two vinyls right? Can you explain it more to me?

I'm interested to learn mixing and also scratching and thought this would be a great way for me to learn.

I plan to get CDJ's in a couple of years when I get more money.

for that much i got my traktor scratch pro Audio 8 from overseas. and i say its still worth it prettymuch all the functions like SL i guess =D

from ebay. this is the company or supplier i got it from

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Native-Instrumen ... 238wt_1165

got it within a week its cheaper then it was when i got it. aud-> usd is getting pretty good. 0.93##

you can prob tell these people that the other company has it cheaper and tell them to make it cheaper for you

http://cgi.ebay.com/RANE-SL-3-SERATO-SC ... 3967wt_939 comes with a laptop stand... i want one!! kind of pricy but its still under the aus pricing i think...

well goodluck keep us posted if you do purchase anything

Yes, you get 2 Timecode Vinyl, a sound card, cables and the software.

Serato is better than traktor and is the industry standard atm.

Serato also doesn't beatmatch and there a 3 modes depending on how much you want to use the pc, or how little you want to use the turntables.

[Buck_Choi]

same as in traktor there are 3 modes.. and what you on about. traktor dont beat match for you..and if there is i havent found it =P

[Skank]

tractor does have a beat sync button

[Buck_Choi]

well i dont use it so meh. same same.

[Buck_Choi]

quick question how many TT's and/or cd players can you connect to SL1 and SL3?

[CBG]

yeah traktor does sync broheme. thats why pete tong uses it

Im not sure about how many tracks serato can run

[ChevChelios]

I think with serato 2.0 you can have four, not sure though

[Buck_Choi]

ahh fair enough.

out of curiosity if any one knows whats up with the large pricejump from traktor to scratch live?

what are the major differences?

because from the little research i done. not much.

but if any one knows please post up :]

Thanks

SL3 has an extra rca inut so you can now run 3 decks but SSL you can only use 2

[Buck_Choi]
