I use audacity with my macbook pro and haven't had any problems at all, however, I haven't used anything else to compare it to. It seems that once you edit your preferences, all it takes is a push of the record button- so I really don't have a problem with the way it looks, per say. Recording quality is good, too.

Pretty sweet considering it's free.

don't forget to close that soft often and reopen it, i never got a soft with that much memory leaks, ~ 1 gb ram used after 10 hours running, and often segfaulting when im trying to close it.

Wow guys, glad there is so much interest in the topic! I was away until today and just caught up.

In respect to the new model and price...guess what, I can't return this babe...I'm hooked! I'll swallow the money I'll lose just to keep this in my possession for the next while until the new one comes out or the price drops! I don't care anymore...haha. Sad to say, but the couple hundred bucks aren't worth it to me...plus, in case you guys didn't know...Apple gives a 200$ rebate for students which I took advantage of with my student here at work. Plus I got a free (mail in rebate) 8gb Ipod touch too!!

So for me everything is setup...Serato is running like a dream...I had to install Boot Camp to run the PCDJ Reflex software that I use to DJ weddings etc...but just found out that the new controller for PCDJ (Denon HC4500) is compatible with Serato...I currently use the DAC3.

Now it's just a matter of getting fast navigating around on zee Mac. I still have yet to play with those features between Itunes and Serato too...need more time!!

Some Mac OS X shortcuts for you... Click Me

Ok...I've got something I'd like some opinion's on.

This pertains to Serato only, but since we've discussed it here, I'll pose the question. Since I use my own folder structure and constantly add files to the folders, I find it extremely time consuming to always have to either delete the folder in Serato and re add it, or re drag and drop the files to the serato folders that have been modified. Is there no other way so that Serato will update files added on it's own?? What do you guys do?

Unfortunately, ScratchLIVE doesn't have "Smart Crates" (self updating crates that are tied to folders on your hard drive). This has been a long standing feature request though.

You can just re-drag the entire folder onto the crate and it will only add the new songs. You don't have to re-drag the individual files.

However, a friend of mine and SratchLIVE guru has written a program, ScratchTools, that can do exactly this, sync crates to folders, as well as a bunch of other cool things ScratchLIVE cannot do (yet) like export crates to text files/Excel (great if you need a text file print out of your set you played last night, or cataloging your entire collection), exporting songs in a crate to another folder, order all your crates alphabetically, etc. ScratchTools is command line based though, no GUI (yet), so if you're timid of command line and code or not that computer savvy/geeky you might have a little trouble. But it's not that complicated we'll help you out on the ST forums if you have trouble. Plus you can write scripts for it so you only have to set it up once, then just run the script whenever you add new files to your folders. So, if you want to check it out... http://scratchtools.de/

That's funny you did that....cause I work in IT and although my scripting skills suck and it's not my field...I was telling a buddy of mine about 'our' dilemna in ScratchLive and he was like..."dude...I'll whip up a script that will do that". I just never followed up with him...figured Scratch live would come up wtih it on it's own.

I may have to check your stuff out!!

Oh, if you're in IT and know computers, than ScratchTools will be a piece of cake for you. Should really check it out. And we have detailed guides (text and videos) written in plain English with lots of pics and examples for all the commands.

Seems like using iTunes to manage your music is easier... provided you don't hate iTunes.

The Serato iTunes integration is dynamic...

Well, I do hate iTunes, at least with SSL. I don't like something else managing my music. I already have a very meticulous folder structure, I don't like iTunes moving and copying things to different locations on how it thinks they should be organized (yes I know you can turn this off in iTunes, but still, this is the default behavior and many people don't know this). Plus, iTunes usually gives most SSL users headaches at one point or another and usually causes more problems than it solves. Trust me, I deal with this on a daily basis on the SSL Help forums. Plus, let's not even get into trying to move an iTunes library from an internal drive to and external drive or another computer. Yes, I know it can be done and there's even programs that will do it, but just from a (SSL) support standpoint, iTunes is a major pain. Plus if you store all your music on an external drive and want to plug it into someone else's computer and play SSL, you're screwed. With crates, you can plug your external drive/memory stick into any computer and have all your crates show up. Can't do that with iTunes/playlists, at least not without messing with the other person's iTunes settings, which I'm sure they wouldn't want you doing. Or they may not even have iTunes installed.

But, iTunes works great with SSL for a lot of people, just not me. Don't get me wrong, I use iTunes, just not for SSL. Though I do think smart playlists are ingenious.


Posted by Ryan0751 on Aug-28-2008 16:53:

I have no problems using it with Traktor (previously Serato), I actually like that it manages my music and I just manage the meta-data. If I were going to use my external drive with another persons DVS, I'd just create some playlists and drag the MP3's into folder.

To each his own I guess. Either method has advantages and disadvantages.

Do you have the "copy files to my iTunes library" option selected?

Really itunes is bad for just "playing" a track. If you want to do that, open it in quicktime. Otherwise it'll try to manage it.

KONIX....you hit the nail on the head! I feel the exact same way. I kinda feel dumb cause I don't know Itunes enough to have found the option to turn off the settings that enable Itunes to be so involved (doing that now). I've always really liked how I sort my music and as soon as I get familiar with the auto scripts taht we spoke about earlier....or ScratchLive makes the addition to the software....then all my prayers will be answered!!

Yeah you just need to develop a work flow that works for you

My work flow for new tracks:

1. Download new tracks to a "New Tracks" folder on my iMac desktop.
2. Open mixed in key, let it key the tracks.
3. Drag newly keyed tracks into iTunes into a "New Tracks" playlist.
4. Open Reason with a piano sound, fixing any tracks mixed in key keyed incorrectly by checking them by ear (MIK is wrong quite often, but does speed up the process)
5. Change the genre tag to one of my custom genres, so that the new tracks show up in the appropriate smart playlists.
6. Once I have that done, I use "Tuneranger" to synchronize the "New Tracks" playlist to my Macbook Pro over the network (which is where I DJ from)
7. Open Traktor and let it build the overlays for the new tracks.

I also tend to make playlists in iTunes for when I know I'm going to be playing a set with specific "feels" or "moods". I also sync these up to my laptop.

Keeps everything nice and well organized for me, with a copy on both my iMac and Macbook Pro. And when I plug in my iPod to my iMac, I get the new tracks as well as my playlists for listening in the car.

Oh, and once every few weeks or so I use a great tool called "SuperDuper" to make a bootable full backup of both machines to external hard drives, which I then store in a safe.

This is what i'm finding to be the most difficult part of Dj'ing...... Time.
I literally don't have enough time to mess around on my decks let alone start finding and organising music.

But the above is a very nice fast way of organising the tunes..

I might just start using that method.

i just got my mac pro too and i am in the same situation... but i have another question on the sort of same topic ....does anybody know of a free program like windows live messenger that has webcam capabilities so i can talk to somebody on a windows machine. We both have microsoft accounts and i have a mac and she has a windows. mac messanger doesn't have video...

i've been waiting for something like that for ages too... i use adium x (which in its own right is just awesome) but still no webcam support for msn.

if you can both use AIM, might I suggest you use iChat?
