i use serato digital dj software with the sl1 interface box.
it connects at usb 1 standard.
after buying the dv7-4040sa i experienced problems with my serato where i would recieve a usb buffer warning and my audio from the sl1 box stops playing, and as a working dj this is a bit embarressing to say the least.
when i unplug and re-plug the sl1 interface back in all is fine for a short time, then it happens again.
Do they have leopard for Vista user. I have a 4G new laptop and my dropouts are major. I have to move my USB buffer setting all the way to the right end, and that lowers my latency and fucks up my scratches. HELP!!!
I have the same problem with my Serato. I've tried to do a half hour mix, and as soon as I scratch, it starts to crackle and pop and drop our heavily!!!!!!
Don't give me the BS excuse of cost or availability. That's nonesense and part of the"Beatport scam" myth. Don't fall to the digital dark side. Please.
-Carrying "5-10 crates" from club to club every night is a DRAG!
-Serato allows you to transport hundreds/thousands of songs, samples, random audio WITH NO PrObLeM. This audio can then be cued and ready to go with a touch of a button. (I said cued, not mixed, or played!)
-Serato only adds to the DJ game, the thing it takes away from djing is the hassle for "us" DJs who have more gigs then days in the yr!
-SERATO uses "rEaL" records the "feel" isn't lost.
you're a bit goofy if you are hauling more than 80-100 records with you which the last time I went out and played earlier in this month was pretty easy to get in and out of the airplane overhead compartment with no complaints from security split between two record bags, one being a shure (which will hold upto 70 easily) and a bag I got in london at cyberdog which seals up pretty tight and does about 50.
Now what moron needs 200 records to play for 2 hours -the typical DJ set at a party or club?
I havent had that problem yet hopefully never will but you should try adjusting maybe decreasing your usb buffer size located in the setup, your computer might be a slightly slow for serato if that dont help then I don't know the problem
I am going to get Serato scratch live, but i'm unsure about what macbook I should get. I would like to get between a minimum and maximum performance. Do you think a 1.83 GHz with a 1gb ram macbook would do it?
Hey, I'm no pro or anything, and you've probably already thought of this, but just in case you haven't... It could be that the "bad" port you speak of on the MacBook cannot provide enough power for your USB device. If it gets the power strictly from the USB, maybe you could run the USB device through a powered USB hub and then into the MacBook. Again, I'm no pro and I don't really know the context of the situation, but I thought I might leave you a suggestion.
cool - i thought i was getting my hands on the leopard today but my local mac store is completely useless - i was hoping i could test the stuff before my next gig - guess i'll have to wait - anyways, i'll use my good port hehehe
Did you get this sorted? What else is the mac running?

Why not just play regular records instead?
