SCRATCH and ITCH at the same time?

shakee 12:39 AM - 3 October, 2009
Has anyone tried running SCRATCH and ITCH at the same time? I'm at work and the thought just randomly pop into my head. Running both programs, and plugging the Vestax VCI into the AUX of my 57. I'm gonna go home and try it. It could be like mixing with 4 decks. Do you think a 2yr old macbook could run both?

So I never responded back to this. Tried it at home and it worked out fine. Problem is, I needed 2 headphones, and had to keep switching back and forth between screens. But as far as performance, it worked out fine.

Cool to hear that it works. I'm not especially surprised. I *would* be somewhat surprised if that scenario worked well on a Windows machine though...

The "Spaces" feature of Mac OS 10.5.X and higher might be a way around the "2 screens" thing. Depends how well-behaved Scratch Live and Itch are with that feature, of course.
