I am a newer Dj... only been spinning for like 4 months. I got some TT's for xmas and it was cool... you know ~ i was learning and messin up and getting frustrated. practically about to give it up!! 2 weeks ago i got serato scratch and let me tell you ~ it kicks serious ass!
this program makes perfection possible and for a newer dj, it puts you years ahead of where you should be. I can mix flawlessly for hours and some of my mixes are like 5 min long ~ and they're perfect!!! well.. a couple vocal overlaps, but other than that they are perfect.. I already have like 100 sick ass tracks in my library and the cost was minimal. It just keeps getting better and better!!!!
I havent been around long enough to give advice, but i must say ~ If you dont have serato scrath > GET IT!!! The best 500 bucks i ever spent... (be careful if you get one off of ebay ~ research the seller)

lol i use a desktop PC... i went for the instant gratification of buying serato before buying a laptop... i'll get one soon, but what kind... i have no clue.
most laptops should be able to handle serato... it only needs 1g and uses 156mb of ram and thats standard on laptops. (500 bucks)
when i get a laptop, i'm gonna shoot for 2g and 300+ mb of ram so i can run more than 1 program. (800 bucks)
if i get ableton... i'll prob end up getting 3g and 500+ mb of ram and a expensive ass sound card (prob around 1500 for everything) |

| by everything, i mean the computer and soundcard... if i include ableton and a decent midi controller, it will cost me well over 2,000 bucks. |

beforehand you mentioned you were struggling to mix on a regular TT setup.
so i asked:
im at a lost how you feel using SSL has improved your mixing vs mixin regular vinyl.

are you serious? it's pretty obvious.. you can see what you're mixing. instead of using 1 sense (hearing), you use 2 senses (seeing and hearing) and it makes it a lot easier imo....

So instead of learning how to beatmatch, you're learning how to line up marks on a computer screen... :rolleyes: |

| I can see how having the waveform in front of you would help with cuing and phase matching, but I'm not convinced that you can benefit from a waveform when it comes to beatmatching decently |
