All user reviews of 4/5 for the Stanton Magnetics Final Scratch 2

Stanton was the novelty of it seemed to fix bugs in 1.5, and the reading of new formats is INTERESTED.

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem if you follow the instructions, there is no Uninstallation untimely and no problems on XP pro

Incompatibility any meeting and Annual Statement franais me is clear.
simple configuration as long as you use tracktor before!

GETTING STARTED

P4 3Ghz Ram 1024 Sound Card Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Pro, ASUS P4P800
The software runs impeccable, no latency issues
gnrales performances are at IDAL

but there is a large less: the crash of the software! the slightest change, such as long as you change a path from a vinyl encodes a normal vinyl must restart the pc, and I have much stress at times I did not qd r response to a coded vinyl and I had to reboot two times to return to normal
but you have me to stay Cohr put labels on the cables (y 'has a package!) and properly configure the software at home, test it a couple of hours non-stop to be sure of the result in club

the note itself is on a bug-free operation and rglages optimiss

OVERALL OPINION

I last fortnight
the effect is stunning even qd! is extra

That said the price is stunning given the fact that the ratio Q / P is not top top especially vis vis the bugs appeared (I hope rgler has once and for all)

I remake that choice if I remove the bugs if I opt for a system equivalent bcp cheaper!!

Yes there was a problem because I use Vista, after updating the drivers, Vista recognized the scratch amp without any problems.

as stated above, a problem during installation of the drivers and connecting the scratch amp(wasn't recognized); another annoying issue with Vista is that when i close FS2 and want to re-open it, it gets stuck and Visa shuts it down, it's called "APPCRASH". I solved the problem by right-clicking on the FS2 icon in properties/compatibility/ checking "execute program in XP2 mode". Then right-click - execute as administrator.
