Traktor Scratch A10 & Serato SL4. The price difference is ridiculous!

Traktor Scratch A10 & Serato SL4. The price difference is ridiculous!

Can anyone enlighten me as to why the SL4 box is SO much more expensive that the A10? They both have the same 4 deck, DVS functions and arguably Traktor has more versatile software, so why the staggering price difference?

The SL4 goes for about $800 AUD
A10 for about $500 AUD

That’s $300 difference. Half the price of a Maschine :confused:

Probably because of the almighty and ever pronounced “Serato is free” myth.
You pay more because you do not pay for the software.

This is where i get bashed to death by SSL users :laughing:

Dual USB, “lifetime” free updates, and in my opinion more reliable hardware. My NI sound cards have always been flaky

:angry::angry::laughing:

I’m going to go with this answer:

Dual USB, “lifetime” free updates

An SL4 is actually 2 soundcards meshed into one box. Hence the dual USB-changeover ability.

Although you could argue that you’re paying a bit of a premium to have a track browser that makes the slightest bit of sense.
