Originally posted by DJ Cubano alright I kept screwing with it and turned the audio latency (i think is how it's spelled :confused on high, and I turned the position smoothness line all the way to the left (this is only on version 1.5). I took out to the club many times already and it never screwed up again. I just wish they would post that on the damn website. When I finally got the tech support guy to call me back that's the samething he told me to do.

Are you using the 33rpm sides or 45rpm sides? A message was passed onto me that people were getting better results with the 45rpm sides (for accuracy and such).

I've got my latency set to low and the position smoothness set to the left as well. I go with no problems at all.

Evangelist, just wanna say you gotta realise that FS doesn't work for everyone, its an awesome idea, but the product ain't stable yet, just look at all the problems that have been said on the FS boards, I don't think its becuase there all trying to plug the USB into the CDRom, I've used FS, I do really like it, but the guy there even had problems with it crashing, even though it didn't crash for me, its a buggy program, and the hardware ain't anything to brag about, but I'm sure they will get this all sorted out since Serato has a much better product (even though it has some of its own problems), and as for your remarks towards CDJs, well to each there own (there are some people who don't like turntables...shocking), but CDJs are for most DJs awesome, they have alot of features over FS, and vise versa, they both have there advantages and disadvantages.

Good to hear your one user that its running smoothly for, but remember, not everyone is as lucky.

I still have yet to play around with this hardware/software setup. I have one question, if this uses time encoded vinyls in order to play mp3s, how long can each vinyl play? Like 10 minutes? Just curious, but not enough to go read up on it

Dunno for sure, but I think the 33rpm side is 15mins and the 45rpm side is 10min, but dunno for sure, but I do know that Seratos vinyl is slightly different.

Serato's vinyl has a 10 minute and a 15 minute side, either of which can be played at 33 or 45 rpm. However, when the vinyl runs out, SSL automatically switches to "internal mode" which means that the computer picks up playing where the vinyl ended at the same pitch without any change in sound. It's really a nice feature, another plus over FS.

Wait a minute, how can you have a side that has say 15 minutes of code on it when played at 33rpm, and have it last for the same amount of time when played at 45rpm???, have I missed something, that doesn't seem possible.

On a side note, I just listed to the sample of FS and dam, that would scare the shit out of me if played in a club.

has anyone used it with a 1.3ghz g4 powerbook?

ive been looking into gettin FS but just wondered how it would run on my powerbook, ive got 768mb ram so i suppose it should be fine.

what happens with FS if you are running say a 17min track and it hits the end of the vinyl at 15mins?

cheers.

When the time code stops being read after 15 min the track will stop. This makes sense because it is as if you ran out of record. But if you want the track to keep playing, you can click a button before it runs out at 15 min and it will keep it playing at the current pitch until the end of the song, it just does not do it automatically.

I love my FS...the only time it gave up on me was when i tried to play an invalid mp3 file which was my fault...One thing though the sound quality realllly sucks..even if i try to play normal record through FS system the sound quality isn't really as good as it would without the system. If any of you are using FS in gigs how do you cope with that? Plus you probably can't de-compress the mp3 you download either, can you?

why dont you try not using software use single vinyl, weve been spinning without FS or Rane for many years, that doesnt fail

This seem to partially depend on a worn out FS time code vinyl, have you tried with a new?
