«  Trs trs Pro and stable! »

Published on 08/29/11 at 02:17
What motivated me to choose Scratch Live is its legendary stability and ease of use (no complicated rglages or other).
Warning against the case by SL1 is compltement Exceeds level sound quality, it should opt for SL2, 3 or 4!

I use Scratch Live gnralement with CDJ (the top is to have 900 or 2000 to play MIDI / HID without CD CONTRL), with the use of good old MK2 is also excellent.

I play in club / bar o the need for stability copy!

GETTING STARTED

Installation in 5 minutes chrono (time updates downloads the latest version included)!
The manual is available in French on the Internet in PDF and can rsoudre meeting by a majority of problem (it is still necessary that any)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use SSL on a MacBook Pro 13 "i5 8GB RAM 750GB of HDD, it works without hooked, 0 problem signal.
I prcdemment a MacBook 2.16 GHz White 2007 which was running like clockwork, the app is trs low resource utilization (using the same effects and recording his set in m me time!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use SSL since 2007 (first with a box with an SL1 and SL3).
I have not used for other models but apparently there are a lot of instability in MixVibes, Virtual DJ ... Traktor seems to be at (or better level effects), but more complicated to implement.

Most:
The simplicitbr /> The stabilitbr /> Managing playlists
Performance just
The management of HID
The sound quality (except with a trs SL1 is correct, but below the other)
The compatibility with Ableton Live (even if it is not yet fully developed)

The -:
The effects worse than Traktor
The Key Lock below the Master Tempo Pioneer example

On the report quality price, the purchase of hardware Rane is a bit more expensive than the competition but the software and all updates are free, an SL1 bought in 2004 still holds the road so from the I think the soft evolves quickly and well enough for him professionally profitable evening. APRS is to mix if the house is on it's a bit expensive!

Exprience I would do with this choice, although be Submitted in Traktor (but major updates are not free, sound cards trs latest generation not reliable and the setting in works from the software more complicated).
