Why the hard-drive? |

that only takes about 5 minutes to do.. less to take apart.
burning CDs takes more time. |

The 800MKII's are absolutely fantastic. The only thing that would pull me towards the 1000s is the wav display...
But Skipper, I'm like you, I can't get over the intamacy of using vinyl. However, just the thought of dragging all that junk around constantly make me shudder (even if its just to a house party or something, the whole setup has to come)
There's my useless 2 cents... |

But then you need power outlets for your lappy, a place to put the box, as well as somewhere to lay down the computer. In a booth horizontal space is at a premium. |

I've been eying an M-Audio Torq unit for $225 for a few days now...
Those of you that know me know I don't play out much anymore, so it would be nice for my uber-ghetto home setup (Numark Pro-TT1s! Stanton RM-3 OH MY!)
How does Torq match up against Serato? |

i have yet to see anyone have any problems with where to put things.
if you're playing in a both where there isn't room for a 2" x 6" serato box and a laptop, then it's a hole of a club and your a ty DJ that can't get real gigs :p |

its still a pain in the ass when another dj's spinning and you have to mess around with the mixer to set everything up. and its especially a pain in the ass when you're wasted. lol |

true true... but i think setting up + carrying around the serato gear is a bigger pain in the ass, but to each his own.
man, why can't there be a mixer where I plug in my brain into the output and just stand there and mix the tunes with my mind! no gear - no set up |

well, if/when your laptop hard-drive fills up, you have to buy some more space. and usually laptops don't come with a lot of space to begin with. |
