So far I am happy with the new SL3. Like the aux in and how easy to run regular vinyl (thru) with out the xtra rca connections. ---

… 3 inputs and one virtual inside new Serato 2.0 (and ITCH support for SL-3) &/or Ableton Live ITCH integration for NS7 and VCi & SSL integration for SL-1, SL-2 (TTM57SL) and SL-3. In near future you will see: SL-1 for 2 decks. SL-2 & 3 for 3+1 decks. SLs and ITCH + Ableton Live for infinite decks. It’s a matter of time. Keep your SL-1. … ---

Hmm..Also, Where do you get all this great news? Is is fact or fiction? ..Anyone know if the SL3 can be used as a soundcard / ASIO this time around on Mac OSX? SL1 was only good as an ASIO on PC. ---

… SL-3 = 3 inputs (decks) + 1 virtual (your computer) I’m just wondering… Do you imagine if I “catch the wave”? SL-3 will have ASIO and Core Audio Drivers. Check the FAQs and Press. The pieces are out there. It is just plug them. … ---

I did not know the SL3 had 3 inputs via TT, I thought 2 and a aux input, which I was not assured had the phono ability for another deck, but for Live Feed, etc..etc. . We will see, ---

question to owners of the SL3: since (i guess) there are no official asio drivers, is it possible to use the outputs of the SL-3 with two applications at the same time? eg. using the two main outputs for two music channels (either traktor or serato), and teh AUX output for a standalone sampler (i use NI battery) for some additional SFX? i dont see me using the internal serato sampler, as it only has 6 slots, no fx etc etc. but somehow i feel like this wont work. i’m not sure if eg. my m-audio interface allows me to split the ASIO output between two programs at teh same time… maybe if i use the 4 main out via ASIO and the AUX via a directx driver? this way it works on my m-audio. any ideas/experience?
