i am a graphic designer as well as a DJ...Would putting my Adobe CS2 on my macbook effect my serato?????? JUST THE SOFTWARE though...all my design files are on external drives....

Hello DjReact,

No, you should be fine using both applications on your computer.

just so you feel a little safer: i used a g4 12" ibook (older model - maybe 1.5 years old), with only 256mb ram, with these and a whole lot more programs, with less than a gig left on the hd, with absolutely no problems whatsoever.

i have a powerbook with adobe cs2, microsoft office, ssl, and other programs and not a problem at all. just be careful running ssl and other cpu intensice applications like photoshop or illustrator while using ssl (especially since cs2 would run under rosetta emulation i believe).

I've only found problem with SL when I put programs on it that make a folder in the same area as SL.

For instance on Mac, I add a program called wiretap. It lets you record from a mic or internally. It added a folder in the My Music folder where SL is. It acted stupid until I took it off. Now it runs smoothly.

Just for your info.

Yo I dont know if anyone else had this problem,but sometimes Serato likes to stutter on skip foward a beat what could cause that i tried cleaning my control records and i got a really good laptop Dell e 1705 Dual core 2.0 and 1 gig memory should uninstall Serato 1.5 and reinstall 1.4 ?

dj eldog,

Please post your issue in a separate thread so we can keep each topic on the subject at hand. Thanks.

I used to have photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver.... etc... now, I'm investing in a new computer with only Serato on it. My last computer had 1 gig of free space on it and after a long recording it crashed and never turned on again. Wating to get a new hard drive now. The Mac people told me that you are supposed to leave 10% of your memory free, so if you have a 80 gig hard drive... I didn't know that 8gigs needed to be free! Play it safe and back your stuff up.
