I switched to the dark side

[Conall]

It just annoys me when i see people talking about going over to dvs from cd's or w/e and they think that serato is the industry standard, the one that they should choose, without actually doing any research into it. It means that the people who do take the time to know about these things get the short straw. I.E like the local club getting a serato box

Know what you mean but to be fair, it's not that hard to plug in your own soundcard. not like lugging your own mixer or whatever.

It's not really the dark side.

I'm from Detroit, the market is pretty much all Serato. When I'm playing with another DJ and I'm using DVS I just launch Serato and use it. I always have it on my laptop 'just in case'.

exactly, I call it the dark side because it's the more popular (but to me less functional) option in the dvs world. Basically, compatibility with everyone else was my major reason for switching. That and possibly doing video in the future

[Jason Cerna]

people choose it because they want a minimal dvs.

i have been a scratch live user since 2005. and i just switched to traktor last month because i wanted to expand.

[Karlos Santos]

At least you have actually done what you said you were gonna do Growtesk cus you threatened "im gonna switch" enough times hahaha ;-)

[Gr0wTesK]

haha yeah Karlos, I'm still considering picking up TSP2 in the future though. I can't resist shiny new things

[Karlos Santos]

I hear that.
Im still looking for a cheap SL box. Just to have one.
Damn SL boxes are so expensive even second hand...

[Steve Em]

I picked up my complete sl1 for US $200 on craigslist. They come up once in a while at that price.

[Karlos Santos]

Im in UK though Steve and SSL is far far less popular here so its keeping its price.
For $200 id have someone send one over though thats really cheap. Wow.
