Besides the scratching ability, not a lot was shown off. The latency must be good to be able to quickly beat-juggling and such, but that is realyl all that it showed me.

Serato is great in terms that the latency is so low that you will forget the music isnt comming from the vinyl and that it runs on very low requirment (go to the serato forums and look what people are using) but it is very limited in what features it has.

-No wdm, asio or core audio
This means you cannot use the SL1 box as a regular soundcard with anything besids the serato software (both pc & mac).
-No keylock
Iv been falling in love with harmonic mixing but this aspect is holding me back.
-Dongle
You cant use serato to practice stuff when your not connected to the SL1 box.

Serato is hopefully adding all these features in the next version though. If it does, then it will be perfect.

Exactly!

I don't scratch. So seeing a program soley on scratching won't help me.

That's the reason I like TORQ. It's designed for the person that likes to mix. Not the guy that only wants to cut up throughout his set.

Who remembers the old "How many use the Crossfader" thread?

The majority of the replies didn't use a crossfader.

If Mixvibes target is the Scratch DJ, more power to them.
But, the dance scene won't get a good idea what this software provides watching a Scratch video.
