I've tried searching the topic and came up empty handed.

Heres my situation.

I've been djing for a while. have cdj 200's and I am thinking of going the way of serato. However, I've noticed that Serato is primarily ment to emulate vinyl. Cdj200's only have "cd mode" or cue-stutter....

Now, I've tried a buddies 1000's on cd mode and cueing up a song is less than accurate. It's as though there is a delay.. or something? Like, i'll press play and the cue point will either have a gap before the song starts or it will start after the first beat (even though ive manually cued the track to the exact frame before a new 32 count begins). Now, I am aware you have to tap cue to restart your cue point, after pressing play, so that eliminates me from being completely retarded and just forgetting to re-cue.

Do i need to upgrade to cdj400's or 800's to make serato work legit for me? or is there something like a firmware update that can fix this problem, and allow me to accurately cue within "cd mode"

From what i've read online mate you've got it spot on.

Yeh they'll work but the cueing issue will still be there

Sucks ass.. Hope you can sort this out without too much hassle..

Good luck

Or look at another DVS.

Torq Connective? Never tried on my CDJs but works awesome on my stanton TTS, and its hella cheap.

I'm using it with my CDJ200's with no issues what so ever... cueing it fine for me..

so is torq better for the cdjs200? Or is it more like serato is a little overkill for the cdj200's?

I would think they both function essentially exactly the same on cdjs, but I use Torq on a daily basis and have only used SSL a few times so I can only go from that.

With the 1.5 torq release coming it really might be a legit alternative to SSL......well at least for people like me who don't DJ out and only in bedroom & house parties. The pricetag is attractive...

I've used in in a club setting and it works well there too.

Torq is liek SSL at half the fuckign cost and thrice the functionality.

so why does everyone love ssl so much? Does torq crash a lot more than ssl? Does the interface suck compare to ssl?

Probably because it came out first. Its a proven program, people don't like change, why fix it if it isn't broken sorta thing is my guess.

I'm probably looking into something like Torq or SSL soon, to use with my 200s, let me know if you get one or the other and how it works.

I'll prob just get torq since I don't dj out, but I want to wait til 1.5 comes out. I'm not sure how that's gonna work. Like is everyone gonna have to pay the $50 or what, little confused on what to do. I'd also like to hear some reviews on 1.5 and if it has a tendency to crash or whatever...
