    Default SSL KB Cover...Worth It?

    Since I'm switching over to SSL, I thought I would get a KB cover.
    But before I spend my money, I thought I would ask first.
    SSL KB cover, worth it or not?

    It would help if you were new to Serato. I personally don't like covers on my keyboard. I learned how to use the functions on my own with the built in help feature where hovering over the area gives you the shortcut command.
    A few commands to get you started:
    Shift+ left/or right = Load deck a or b
    Numbers 1-5 =cues 1-5(Deck a)
    Numbers 6-0 =cues 1-5(Deck b)
    I=start track from beginning deck a
    K=start track from beginning deck b

    Looping and other things are easy too, the keyboard cover can direct you there but really only hands on and practice will get you more familiar.

    I'd go with printing the layout and have it around while you practice. It's the same than learning a remapped controller.

    Just learning the software. I've been using Traktor Pro for the last three years, so it's very new to me.

    Thanks for your help!
