Characteristics that motivated my choice? Uh bah is French and the French once we lay something that stands up to buy!
I was on before I loved Mixvibes and suddenly I kept pace.
Interesting things with this app is that all sound cards ASIO / Core Audio works with unlike competitors. It is of course the number of inputs / outputs adequate.
The only downside for me is managing the impacts, it is 100 times better on Traktor for those who use an external mixer, for others it is moving.
For the rest I have no complaints! Installation

GETTING STARTED

carefree either Mac or PC (but then had some concerns, as with any software).
Then the configuration requires a minimum of knowledge but it's still very simple, we choose its inputs / outputs, Freq. sampling, sample rate, is calibrated with the disks and it works.
The manual? Is there a manual? Sorry but then left for the advanced features of Cubase I have never opened a textbook in my life.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Uh so I just changed but it was on a Core 2 Quad Q6600 with 4GB of 800MHz DDR2 RAM on an Asus P5K, hard base in SATA II 7200 RPM, config hair that turned to 0.7 ms latency (48KHz in a Mackie D2 Pro or U46MK2 depending on my mood).

Second config on a Macbook Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz, 2GB DDR2 667MHz ram, base HDD at 5200 rpm, always with the same cards but then I have higher latency, 1.3 ms I think.

These latencies are obtained with version 1.4, mac earlier versions are worse. We are in the 1.5 that I used in beta at the moment so I'd rather not say on the final version as I have not tested.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its release, I used Mixvibes before, I am the Team since 2005.

So yes I tried Traktor, Serato, Torq, Deckadance and Virtual DJ. Cross remains for me one of the best with Traktor, the others I do not like, especially as a scratcher! Cross is the best on this point. The sound quality is also one of the best with Traktor, I have not tested the latest versions of Serato but at the time the sound of Serato was well below.

Well if I do not know if I will ever choose this because I also like Traktor, but considering the price, if we can not afford to Traktor, knowing that he brings not much else (well, it depends on what the are doing), should darken on Cross your eyes closed, it's a really good app.

PS: I put 9 everywhere but I never put 10 to a software because there is always something that does not appeal. Excellent soft
