Stanton SC System (1D+1M) DJTT Review

[nem0nic]

Well, I never measured it, because I don't need too...

Again, you're entitled to your opinion. It doesn't have to be based in fact - that's what makes it an opinion. What I take issue with is that in a thread where someone is asking for a fix to a specific problem, you're addressing their issue with your uninformed opinion instead of fact. Just because you were too too lazy or stupid to find the root source of a problem doesn't mean everyone is.

As far as being a "Stanton fanboy", does being a former product manager there qualify? I've quit there to work somewhere else, but that doesn't negate the fact that I've dealt with every issue the SC System 3 controllers have ever had. I know the product intimately, so there's a good chance that the advice I give in this case comes from actual knowledge of the product.

So while I have no problem with you stating your opinion on an internet forum, let's call it what it is - uneducated guessing from someone who no longer owns the hardware.

You MUST use the power adapter with the SCS.3 system.

Well that might be a problem-solver right there. Thanks for the heads up!

Coming from a controller noon I can say I had some problems originally with the scs3 but I've made a custom mapping for the 9 button layout for my 3d's and a separate map (avoiding DaRouter) for my 3m as it has it's own logic and can say I've got the system running stable consistently w/o the use of the power cord, although I do have several more powered USB ports than many laptop users as I'm running a HP touchsmart 600 all in one.

I like the system a lot thus far and have control of almost every thing in Traktor including 4 decks, 4 fx units, and browsing/loading.


My gripe would be that I couldn't easily add either sc1 component as I couldn't have two instances of DaRouter running. I'd HAVE to buy Bomes and make a custom bmtp which seems like it would be a lot of work.

You can ABSOLUTELY have SCS.1 DaRouter and SCS3 DaRouter running at the same time. In fact, I did a video of it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO86ayBMWL0

Nice! I though it would've been a separate preset in the same DaRouter. Craigslist here I come! Lol

Hey nem0nic, I was over on the Stanton forums and noticed you posting in a thread regarding a beta preset that was built with browsing included for the SCS.3. Someone replied that the preset wasn't giving them the ability to control the 3.m, but I never found a reply to the guy's problem. Am I now having that exact problem on my Mac, can't control anything on the mixer. Any tips?

And thanks a ton for your help up to this point!

[nem0nic]

Your problem isn't a preset issue unless you've loaded an SCS.3d only preset. Describe in detail what's happening and I can probably steer you in the right direction.

[hobi316]

I installed the DaRouter preset and Traktor preset found here and everything with the browse mode works perfectly, but the 3.m is pretty much not functioning at all. No crossfade, no channel volume, just like the guy in the 2nd post on the linked thread.

[nem0nic]

That's a system preset, so it's got translators for both the 3ds and the 3m. Make sure that all devices are showing up as properly detected in DaRouter, and follow the instructions here.

Yeah, I did all this last night as well. Serial numbers show up in DaRouter perfectly fine, and I imported the file into Traktor just as stated in that link.
