OSX Mountain Lion is now out! Post your results with various digital DJ programs

I have to say I'm always a little surprised that companies like NI and Serato are behind on support for new OS's. They release the developer preview with enough notice that you figure most bugs would be ironed out. I'm obviously speaking with limited knowledge of programming so maybe it's a longer development cycle.

Still downloading as we speak. I might have problems having the new OSX, USB 3.0, and a TTM-57SL that runs on USB 1.1. Sure hope not.

It's an issue of backwards compatibility. While Microsoft, etc are very concerned with backwards compatibility, Apple is just not.
Also, the betas/previews, except for perhaps the very last one are not identical, bit-for-bit, to the release.

In addition, the hardware devices like the cards that NI and Serato make are generally harder to patch (they might require a firmware or actual hardware fix) as opposed to software, which can be very quick to update.

Mountain Lion makes a huge difference on the rMBP. I haven't seen any scroll lag like I did on Lion, and more things seem to be in full resolution.

Here's something fun for you all!! Turn on airplay mirroring to a big screen TV with a Apple TV and DJ from your couch

Installed in a diff partition I used to test prev betas and was using to bootcamp. Won't replace my main install until I'm certain everything critical is 101% functional.

Liking general usage so far, boot time improved a lot for me (comparing with a Lion clean install).Only thing left to test is my soundcard that I won't have with me till friday, It worked fine in previous builds except for the software routing panel.

Why did they remove the option to show the battery timer on the menubar is beyond me (i know you can use istat or whatever to recover it).

whats the word with the the 57?

So far pretty good. Tried it with my s2, x1 and it worked fine for traktor 2.5.1. Going to try my DJM 900 and turntables to see if that works.

Hope you have good results with the 900. Hope Pioneer learned their lesson from OS X Lion. Keep us posted I'd love to upgrade to 10.8
