Best value: Poor
DJ at the old (vinyl what!) But not "scratcher" I wanted a stable software and not expensive to switch vinyl and mp3. Already owner of MixVibes DVS when I turned on the PC (and that gave me satisfaction), Cross was a logical choice.
Config: MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 4gig of Ram
2 Technics MK2 (order via Timecode)
Sound Card: Edirol FA 66
1 Behringer DDM4000

GETTING STARTED

Installation without any problem on Mac. Software very simple to implement.
The forum is an excellent complement MixVibes technique if necessary, and monitoring activity is excellent.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Setup: MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 4gig of Ram
Sound Card Edirol FA 66

Latency good without being amazing, if I try to reduce it too I tap a few crackles (I am currently 11ms). Note that I have not thoroughly tested the latest version of Cross (1.4.0) for lack of time available to me right now. So I did not test the Midi mapping for example.
For me that matters is stability and for the moment it is (time mix for the time being rather short latency and does not drop too). Furthermore I do not scratch (rather mix electronica / rock / techno / ambient) and suddenly I did not have the same level of demand that other DJ.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Mac for 1 year but a dilettante (lack of time available!) And for me the quality / price / service is perfect. In addition it is French (cocorico!), the forum is very active so the problem quickly screened.
I only use the Timecode, the response is good even if sometimes we regret the excessive presence of the timecode signal low master volume (I explain: the sound of TC means during passage of the head on the furrow but do not go out in the forums: passive noise).
Latency is high enough at home but do not bother me (I prefer stability). To see other reviews for this most demanding part.
I would put this review up to date when I explored a bit more version 1.4.0 and its new features (including support Midi).
Excellent product
