scratch live on Macbook pro

DjDerek-nuimij1 5:40 PM - 12 June, 2017
i am using a mid 2012 macbook pro currently running on EL CAPITAN..... went to play in a party where the system was a SL1box, of course my laptop could not connect.....
i have available to me the upgrade to SIERRA pending however before i do an upgrade i want to find out how well does Sierra work with ALL SL boxes, and all mixers with built-in Serato software) NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE .....

PS.... as the SL1 box has been discontinued, if i do get another event to dj in and encounter the same box, how can i be able to work around it???
Thanks in advance

Step 1: Decide what your priorities are.
A. Confirmed compatibility with all serato hardware and software.
or
B. The want for the latest Mac operating system.

Step 2: If your DJ priorities are in order than you have chosen (A). Mavericks and Yosemite are the 2 most current mac OS's confirmed to work with all serato hardware and software Old to New.

If you chose (B) you're on your own.

By the way, I still use Mountain Lion on my main laptop and retain the ability to use Serato iTCH, Intro, Scratchlive, SL1,SL2,SL3,SL4, RANE 61,62,64, Pioneer s9 AND SERATO DJ.
I will likely be forced to upgrade to Mavericks pretty soon if I want to use the latest serato dj while being "officially supported" but its no rush :)

So if djing is your priority, the latest greatest mac OS won't be.
