Paul van Dyk switched to Scratch Live

This might be old news to some but PVD switched to Serato Scratch Live. I was pretty shocked when I saw him rocking it tonight. Got a few crappy cell phone photos to prove it...

I know this was posted to rane.com over a month ago but I don't see it out here. So SSL is offically cool now I guess. ;-)

Keith

what a funky layout on the set up!

This I didn't know. Interesting to hear his reasoning on doing so from Final Scratch, especially with FS2.0 released now.

probably because its a pile of turd and SSL is great!

2.0 ain't bad and personally never really had any problems with the original though i'll probably be upgrading to SSL

i bought FS2 and could never get it to install. fukin waste of �600!

virtual dj is working for me just fine, yet it for some reason ant as crisp when i have real records.

Are you supposed to use real records on it?

The Serato/Rane guys acted as shocked as everybody else on the forum to here at he was using it. There were joking that they should try to get him to wear an SSL shirt. It could be a front but I really doubt it.

I really don't think Paul is getting paid to use it. Actually I think he probably paid for his copy. Yeah I know Rane would probably give him one if he asked but I don't think he'd try to scam a < $400 item. But I never thought he was getting paid to use FS either. It's possible but if he was really getting paid I'm pretty sure they would have some more official announcement about it. A silent endorsement just doesn't seem likely to me.

Either way it doesn't really make a difference. SSL is an awesome product. I'm a big PVD fan but I went with SSL cause it works. I'm sure many others did the same. My hope is that it becomes the standard just like the Technics/CDJs so that I don't have to mess around with setting it up. That would be great. :-)

Keith: Paul van dyk appeared on many commericals for final scratch. so he was getting paid by them. i also remmeber reading in trancaddict i think someone saw Paul van dyk at some fair in the serato booth. not sure though

stanton final sc.2- firewire

rane serato - ubs

there are in a different class. serano is a fun bedroom toy
Even if the mighty plastikman the most technical dj on earth switches to it
you cant change this fact:
firewire is faster then ubs
faster means quicker responce
quicker responce means
closer to anolog
closer to analog means
better djing
if your computer is up for fs2 no matter who endorses serato ud be just wasting your
money. Now if your computer is not up for it well serato/pcdj/mixsoftware u name it
is your next option.

Please don't come out here and state incorrect technical data as fact.

Do you think my mouse would react faster if it was a firewire vs usb? Please. Throughput and latency don't have anything in common. If data needed to be queued because USB didn't provide enough throughput there would be more delay. But that doesn't happen with SSL making the added throughput of firewire a moot point.

what he said

besides, some guys did extensive testing between FS2 and Serato and overall SSL was found to be the superior product.

can you link me to the guys that did the testing?
i use fs2, and if ssl is better. then i will switch.. but until then..

im going to be using fs2 at the club hehe

glad to see PvD got to switching, just goes to show you, that even if you are being paid to use FS, it's not worth the hassle

i cant find the exact link but i know it was the guys over at skratchworx.com

Yahoo has this cool feature in the advanced search protion that lets you search just a single site for a term. SSL on skratchworx.com turned up this:

I personally never had any latency problems using finalscratch2 at 1.33 msec latency
I rip my wax at 24bit/96 and dj with it allong with any other digital file on the web or from any comp. cd.
I also have made tons of loops from classic techno stuff I use for sample mixing.
Tractor is also used to make all the comp mixes u are listening to.
What they do is they synch up the tracks using tractor and trow the recording into
pro tools to do the cd mixdown.
You just cant go wrong with native instruments.
who tested it and found it to be better?
I am open to the idea it might even be better for the scratch /turntablist thing
(I dont really scratch/beatjuggle so I dont know if its ideal for turtablist purposes )
but for djing I find it to be very efficient and relliable. I can do the finest realtime corection
(the stuff you do to get rid of phrase cancellation issues ) and it will do it to my digital
file.

Hahahaha....what a load of bullshit! You should edit your post to say "BTW I love talking outta my ass and making myself sound like I'm better than the rest of you all."
