Traktor Scratch Crossgrade with Serato Scratch Live

Has anyone use this offer before, and does the software works flawlessly with serato scratch live hardware ????

You can use the Serato Hardware with Traktor software??!?!!?

Personally I like the Serato software but being able to play 4 tracks at once with traktor sounds quite good too.

You cannot use the SSL soundcard with Traktor Scratch*, or visa versa. Timecode control in Traktor Scratch only works with Native Instrument's Audio 8 soundcard, which comes with the package. The "Crossgrade" package is just an attempt by Native Instrument to sway you into buying Traktor Scratch, at a reduced price ($399 vs. $599 normal price) if you own Serato ScratchLIVE, Final Scratch 1/2 or the regular version of Traktor, and can provide proof/documentation with receipt. Do not buy the Crossgrade package if you do not own one of the above products and/or cannot provide proof (receipt) of ownership, and also you need to have purchased any of the above before May 1st, 2007.

*It's possible to use the SL1 in Traktor if you have the ASIO drivers installed for the SL1, but as mentioned, timecode control only works with the Audio 8 soundcard or a TS certified mixer (Korg Zero 4/8, Mackie d4 Pro, Ecler Evo5).

Yes, but you will have to buy the "Upgrade kit," which costs $339...
