Final Scratch

I'm looking at investing in Final Scratch 2. I have some questions before I buy it.

1. Will it work on most computers? Traktor works top notch
2. Will it work on any turntables?
3. Do you only need one firewire port?
4. Is it a new soundcard or do I need like a high end sound card to make FS work on my computer through shoutcast
5. It comes with the 2 FS records right?

1. This is is hard to say, you may want to seriously look at Rane's SSL
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. It is a new soundcard but I am not sure if you can use it just as an outboard stand alone card. Anyway, I really don't think you can use FS2 and run shoutcast through this card at the same time. Not sure about this one though.
5. Yes

Hmm...theres an output for sound on it right? If so, you can use it to go line in and use through shoutcast...if it already plays the songs while in traktor then it would work anyways

SSL is better than FS. I've been using Virtual DJ to play a few mp3s on my computer I like it better than FS and its much cheaper.

The outs on it are for each deck, out 1 for left TT and out 2 for right TT. Of course if you have another soundcard with a line in you can use that with the record out of your mixer. I don't think you can do it all with the ScratchAmp2 (not positive though).
