Total respect for Richie, believe me. BUT, Richie Hawtin doesn't rely on Final Scratch. Get gets paid to use it! So do they all. It's a nice piece of hardware, but so are CDJs. Richie can afford a real nice laptop. Hook that shit up to your 3 year old P4. It'll shit the bed in 25 minutes.
Fact: PvD used to carry 2 laptops around with him. One just for FS, the other to do work. His FS (version 1) was so touchy that _nothing_ else could be on it.
Fact: DJ Craze threatened to kill (seriously injure, but not seriously kill) a Native Instrument rep at a FS party after it kept crashing on him.
Fact: Show up to a party your playing after the gears been setup and it all has to be unhooked just to accommodate you. Oh did you wait until the DJ in front of you was on to bring that little nugget up? Well now there's dead air in the middle of a party. Oh, use the vinyl? The needles are MAD touchy.
Fact: DJs that didn't learn the art of spinning first and just jumped to this, generally suck. I'll rock your face on any system laptop, vinyl, CDs. 100% panty dropper, no excuses.
FLAME ON! :-) I love this! |

| I've thought of the issue of using my everyday laptop playing out. It would be just my luck that in the middle of a huge mix I get rick rolled. |

Back before tracktor came out, i heard a plastikman set with serato, he played 80 TRACKS in 60 minutes... not my cup of tea as far beats go, but the guy paints an awesome poicture over the course of a set...
as far as specs for me on sl go, got a gamers box, 3 gig of ram, 300gb sata 3.0 10000 rpm hd, core 2 duo 3.0 ghz BEAST at home (built for total of $700), and a P4, 2.8 ghz, 1.5 gig ram freshly built (for the price of the RAM!) for the road... I was REALLY skeptical about the laptop, but i played on it for 4 hours with out a hiccup... just gotta watch the temp on ALL laptops, and just keep unit u use off the internet.. AND i always bring the disks/vinyl with me to do a full re-install, and/or the mp3 files to do a cdj (ugh) performance
With all that being said, and having used both SSL and tracktor, tracktor tracks and holds true to vinyl better, but the difference is negligiable and the sofware interface of SSL far and away makes the transition from vinyl to digital MUCH easier than tracktor.. although the integrated BEATPORT store in tracktor is uber cool |
you can't un-hear it!!
