I just found out that torq conectiv supports vsts and rewire so u can sync it to ableton.. stuff that serato engineers aren't figured out yet..
though its much more unprofessional I'm seriously thinking about selling my serato and switching to torq..
any thoughts about this good/no good idea?

yes denis of course, and Im in touch with serato engineers but like I said theyre not gonna make it so soon.. And for now only torque which is twice cheaper has that options.. What Im afraid of is that this ableton and serato collaboration will make some new piece of hardware and this wont be available on SL1.. So in that case I would again have to sell it and buy new hardware..
Torq-u looks like it can break any sec and the interface looks bad but Im asking for your opinion, would it be advisable to switch to torq-u or should I have some more patience until they sort something with drivers..           http://www.facebook.com/xrayzproductions

I have mates with Torq and they say it is second best to Serato.

In terms of functionality it beats Serato....but its build is shit.

For someone travelling and carrying their gear around....Serato i would say. Its professional.

But for home use.....Torq would really work i think.

Rayz....after your point above....about this colab taking time....i think Torq might just be the filler for the meantime.

I have not yet gotten to that advanced stage where I will be hooking up VST's and connecting to Ableton....but i think by the time i am ready for that....this product will be ready.

In the meantime....i will try the Deckadance setup.....and if i come across some cash (my birthday next month...HAHAHAH) i might get the Torq.

Once i am ready to make a big boom with my new set and shit.....i will get the real McCoy!

Yeah I agree totaly about the plastic of torque and professionalism of serato..
But I already got real mccoy, and if I downgrade to torq and serato pulls out only drivers and gets it rewired with ableton on same hardware, than Ill lose money for nothing.. Ah, I guess I better stick to serato and see what happens, and btw I have air synth if I want some extra sounds in the set..
Btw, deckadance supports vst, so u can play while u mix, u can even import midi file and let it play by itself..
Thats what hooked me onto all that           http://www.facebook.com/xrayzproductions

Damn!

Right....forget Torq then.

I can do what Torq does (In a sense) with Deckadance, External Sound Card, decks and Timecoded vinyls.

Use VST's etc.

Might not be the best setup....but its either Serato Scratch or The Ableton and Serato colab product that i want to really spend money on.

I will only really need the real McCoy when i have got it down and practiced etc.

That will be the Colab Product....for sure.

Decision made for me.



Thanks Rayz....was not really second guessing your opinion. You seem to have it down!

Was rather commenting on what i am gonna have to do.

However dont underestimate the power of serato when used as a soundcard cause u can have your DJ set and right after that u just have to turn off serato and start ableton and u can do your live set on it.. Its that easy, just switch to phono and there u go.. Wishing u lots of fun and no crashes with deckadance..           http://www.facebook.com/xrayzproductions

Hehe, its not if u know the bugs and how to avoid it..
Dont drag the track all the way up when loading it otherwise it will crash.. U need to get close with program and it will tell u his secrets, ull see.. I told u its magic that it actually works..

And while were still on topic, some guy with Torq conectiv is coming to my place this sunday, so we gonna make serato vs. torq comparison
Ill post my opinions, maybe we could shot video too, theres some on you tube already, dunno..           http://www.facebook.com/xrayzproductions
