    Default vci-300 itch question (windows specific!)

    ok im getting pretty serious about possibly buying a vci-300. the bridge really kinda has a fire lit under me.

    so my question to you guys is this. is it possible to run windows 7 and run itch and ableton at the same time and have it work?

    im googling conflicting reports and as usual, it seems only the guys that hang out here have any idea how digital dj gear is supposed to work

    so is it possible? i just bought this laptop a few weeks ago and kinda need to know asap if it isnt possible.

    thanks in advance, me.

    The bridge will work on windows and mac - so you shouldnt have any issues running it

    Like I said. I tried them both and the pc clearly had visual lag in both 1.4 and 1.5 beta.

    I think seratos directx code isn't optimized very well tbh
