is that a fact? serato is showing 1.8?

Yeah, check the news section.

We'll be showing a couple of features that will be in 1.8

the suspense is killing me.

a couple of features?

what i REALLY want is MIDI

please, please, please
my novation controller is waiting

Word.

I can't wait to hear back from our forum NAMM reporters--tell me 1.8 has MIDI!

2 Words....

SPLIT.

CUE.

That is all.

can anyone from Serato actually confirm?

i wish you'd say

1 Word..

MIDI

Yeah, that's true too...

You'd think I've been satisfied with keylock! ;)

sam... you cant just leave us with that... especially when i live so far away.

I'd be willing to bet MIDI is not on the list of features in 1.8.

midi and programmable buttons would be nice.

Im thinking the asio for the sl-1 will be there and autolooping.

AAC

Out of curiousity, what makes you say this?

I've read an interview with Sam in which he says that they've had MIDI plans almost since day one, so it seems that they're keen to implement it. However, maybe they're finding it difficult to engineer.

Oh the suspense...

First NAMM tidbit revealed. Traktor Scratch!

M-Audio's Torq controller will also be availible to see at 1:00pm EST on their website. A lot of things from Numark are already on the main page over at Skratchworx.com

where and when?

NAMM - Anaheim, Ca. Today - Sunday.

I just got home from the show. Strolled around a bit. My boy Hapa was doing a demo for Native Instruments (Traktor 3/ Scratch) so I hung out there for a bit. Arabian Prince was doing demos for Propellerhead (Reason), hung out there a bit. My friends Chris and Kris were spinning in the Pioneer booth. Ho hum.

I did get a chance to see the Torq controller thing but they did not have it setup so you could play with it. I gotta say it looks better than most of those controller things you see. The wheels on it where as big as CDJ wheels. That's big.

I stopped into the Serato booth. Maybe I didn't ask the right people but I didn't get any 1.8 features that I could see. Maybe I need to go back. I did get some stickers though and that made it worthwhile.

I wish I had a bunch of cool stuff to report. I don't. Everything was just kinda ho-hum to me.

The apple booth was badass though. Logic is the real deal.

so what's new in 1.8?
doesn't anyone know?

please...anxiously waiting in the east coast for news...

i keep refreshing the page too! :)

i'm willing to be that not too many big breakthrough updates/enhancements made it into 1.8

otherwise we would have known about them already.



just my $.02

hold up, you use pcdj... i dont care what criticism you have to say... because you obviously dont get whats great about serato, else youd be using it.

bueller bueller???

SAM, please chime in on this one, it's killing us! :)

stanton opened the ScracthAmp code (to anyone make a software to it) and Native revelead the Traktor Scracth.. lot of new controllers in the market.. but i still prefer serato =]
can anyone say wath have seen of new in 1.8??
i'm writting the news of Namm 07 in my brasilian blog, and would like to say something about it =]

I just came back from NAMM....here is what I heard. It was from one the sales reps...he was very adamant about not having any vaporware...but like I said...this is what I heard...

He said this about 1.8:
-It'll be ready hopefully 3rd quarter
-It will feature video manipulation
-It will feature video functions exclusive to the TTM57
-It will have MIDI support
-The video function will cost money, it will not be free...

He also mentioned that a 4 channel Serato mixer is sort of in the works and it is just getting off the ground. He also mentioned a possible upgrade to the SL1, but reassured me that we who own the SL1 don't have anything to worry about.

I also saw that Shortkut had solid white control vinyls....frikkin sick looking!

Excellent.

nice, I just started getting into video mixing recently with VDJ. I hope it comes sooner than 3rd quarter.

sweetL

again i own and use both PCDJ and Serato with an MP4 mixer.
that is how i can compare the 2, i know what i'm talking about

they are both great products..

did they show logic 8!!?!?!?!?

This year?

Logic 8??? That would be crazy, as Logic 7 Pro is completely amazing in and of itself.

That is GREAT!! :D Nice way to start my morning!

White vinyl would be sweet too...

i don't remember seeing logic 8. i know jack about logic, but i do think it was 7. even if logic is not the "standard" you woulda thought so after visiting that apple booth. they make that shit look so nice in booth, made me wanna go buy it,.. and i don't even have a use for it. now that's powerful.

sorry i got that after i posted this comment... hence why i apologised on the other thread.

again, my apologies.

Sometimes it seems like Apple is an advertising firm first and a computre manufacturer second.

That is because nothing they sell is truly innovative anymore. There's nothing they have that's not out there. They sell an image more then innovation.

They have extremely clever people who make things sound as if it's all groundbreaking, but it's not really..
'groundbreaking'?

There's a reason they dumped the 'computer' part from their name.. they should make it 'Apple marketing inc.'

er.. iPod seems to have revolutionised the digital music market in both good and bad ways.

iPhone with Mac OS X also come to mind.
