Some of you may know i invested in a 17" macbook pro on thursday. Well i have managed to set up traktor and my vci-100se up and i give it a quick test drive before. All i can say is im so glad i got a mac, everything works as it shud do, loaded the vci latest mac tsi and my vci works flawlessly now got the latency down to about 4.5 before and it was spot on, my kontrol x1’s just worked straight away, plugged my audio8 into the macbook and it just came on. Then actually using everything seemed a whole lot better, all i can say is if your thinking about a mac, dont think just go and get one, you will not regret it
Okay I know everything works out of the box with Mac, but quite honestly, I haven’t had any issues with Windows either. I just plugged in my RDJ, LPD8 and Audio2DJ, none gave any problems. Stability and latency are perfect too.
What kind of Windows setups were you guys running that switching to Mac is such a relief?
my friend used to tell me how good they are, i used to think they way to expensive. But now ive took the plunge im glad i did. So they cost a lot, but im sure this will last about 3 times longer than your average pc laptop. The thing just works, not just with traktor tho, for all the usual stuff you do day to day. It starts up very quickly, once the desktop screen is on its on, unlike windows where it still takes a while before everything is up and running, shutting down takes like literally 2 seconds. With traktor my vci-100se works perfectly, no glitchy noises using the shift button unlike you get on pc laptops, get the led feedback on the fx route buttons where as i couldnt on my pc laptop, i have got the latency set to 4.5 on my 1st go with it, best i got on pc laptop was 10.5, and that was an acer laptop with 3gb ram i3 2,13ghz processor and it is 8 months old. Also with using an i-phone it obviously just works like a dream with itunes. I-photo is a great programme for keeping your pics up to date, battery life is awesome compared to a pc laptop, and also once the battery is charged on the macbook you can still run it on the mains power without ruining the battery as it stops charging once full unlike pc laptops. ive only had it not even a week yet so these are just a few things i can comment on as ive not even scratched the surface with it yet..
