Interesting. So it is just an upgraded soundcard, right? Seems like users who have an SL1 now won't NEED to upgrade. Any word on when they're going to start selling these?

You can already buy it. It's shipping as of today. Guitar Center already has it.

Oh cool. I probably won't upgrade to it. I'd have to sell my SL1 to afford it.

when was there an sl-2? didnt they just rename the original serato box as the sl-1?

upgrades look interesting, but won't be upgrading. just recently bought scratch and don't feel the extra goodies are worth the $$$.

Really doesn't seem that big a deal to me? Nothing new that's making me go ooooohhh..

Seems like this update should have been done quite some time ago. I was expecting more 'new' features.

Still nice for people who are buying serato new. Wonder if they'll hike the price.

+10000000000 The new update does nothing to me. And yes, the price has gone up to $799 MSRP. Some places are selling it for $699.

That's pretty insane.

It is interesting to watch the different companies and their strategies though, with Serato going for the hi-end market of DVS's and NI doing the Duo thing and whatnot.

Bottom line: there's plenty of options for everyone.

Geez. That a pretty big jump from the price of the SL1 at $500. The DVS market is getting really interesting.

Personally, i think this is just a bridging update... By that I mean it keeps some of the punters happy.

They've now at least released something new which brings them up to date.

But finally, I think this is their way of buying themselves more time. I think they are working on something with Ableton but need more time, and in their eyes this will give them that extra year or 2 before they maybe release something together with Ableton.

In the end of the day they are running a business and whether or not we're impatient if whatever they bring out (with ableton) is show stopping and intriguing enough for people to want to buy it they will make money, I just do not think we'll know what it is for quite some time.

just my 2c..

i think it's just for the sake of announcing something. Their competitors are all releasing new things. the tracktor pro series upped the game quite a bit (for functionality if not stability), and the Duo release moves down into the SSL price range. Meanwhile there's not been all that much on the SSL front.

They announced the partnership with ableton with no real details at the same time as pro came out, possibly to try to encourage people to stick with them in the meantime.

sure it's a bit nicer soundcard, but I wouldn't be rushing out to make the upgrade
