First impression and remarks/suggestions on Itch

Hi everyone,
I just want to share my (proffesional) thought on the VCI300 /program:
I bought it yesterday because its size and setup can be awfully usefull in certain dancepubs/clubs or parties I play at.

What needs improvement:
-------------------------------------
-Freezing of screen (just a little bit) when loading a track
-1 turn of the sractch wheel, should match exactly 1 turn on the screen (it's a bit off now)
-Win XP seems to have better performance then my Higher spec Win Vista laptop, Can performance of vista be improved?
-Auto Tempo is not accurate enough, imho.
-Auto loop is not accurate enough , imho.

Requests:
--------------
-a history playlist of what I did on the gigs before.
-Adjust (auto)loops with platter, (ex. if a loop is running, switch off "Scratch" , then the platter should be programmed to move the active loop left or right)
-If no Cue point is programmed, pressing the "out/loop"-button should funtion as autoloop aswel and save the cue in and out immediately on that specific buttons you just pressed.
-Half and Double loop buttons should be working in Loop 1,2 and 3 aswel. (so, not in autoloop mode only.) Suppose you exit the loop on a different length of the original loop, returning to the loop should play the loop on its original size again... (In noticed that in SSL the size is reprogrammed to the last size it was played at, and that's quite useless imho)

Now don't get me wrong, I love this product... So I want to thank the guys who built this hard and software, it's just what i need.
But if the above remarks are also resolved/added, it would be freakin' pefect.

Regards,
Kmx orbit

as for freezing ..maybe your memory..maybe you need to max it out.
I have 4gb on my Macbook and perfect now.

"-1 turn of the sractch wheel, should match exactly 1 turn on the screen (it's a bit off now)"-
This could be your usb buffer setting..try adjusting this, but will add more cpu on your PC.
There is also a platter sensitivity on back of unit...maybe needs adjusting?>

Auto tempo needs to be better..YES@
and this is relation to the autoloop.

Great suggestions for improvements! Specially the move loop with platter, but maybe one would need to nudge the loop to keep in time with other tracks..Maybe a SHIFT and platter ..

I tested I mine is a little off as well, I tried adjusting sensitivity and it the same so I am not getting 1 turn equal 1 turn on the screen either.
