haven't had chance to properly test out the drifting issue, but i love how you have fixed the looping mode in it so it loops straight away, i was hoping you would do that, now i can play all the loops that i've made, as though they were songs,
you are the bee's knees, i am an ex final scratch user, and i cant believe how much better you are in every way, the product and the service! keep up the good work!
i've been recommending you too everyone i speak too.
all the best

noticed a slight thing though im not sure whether its how my loops are chopped or not, some loop perfectly but some, make a digital clicky noise. Do you know what that might be?
test the drifting and it seems spot on! now.. i'll test it more though

i think i've sussed it! i think the loop as to be precisely snapped to zero at both ends. seems to do the trick

ahh Nooooo! im wrong ! there is somthing wrong, i've edited all my loops so they sounded okay, then i shut down serato and opened it back again and the click is still there, i did fix it then it came back

are we talking about looping on a cd turntable? or is there a new looping feature I missed in the update for vinyl use?

in previous versions, when a track ended it wouldn't go back to the start immediately (seamlessly). now we can actually take tracks, set them to loop as if they were whole songs.

if you're using mp3, some encoders are notorious for putting extra "padding" on mp3s so what you end up with isn't seamless when played back. make your a wav or aif and try it again and it'll work great. a 10 second wav file doesn't take up that much space.

Correct me if I am wrong, but with mp3s you dont have sample accuracy as you have with wav/aiff, meaning you cant cut a mp3 frame in the middle, so you have a certain size and must fill it.

its okay now its working fine now, not sure exactly what the problem was. but everything is fine!
i also played a 16 hour set yesterday/last night with not 1 single problem.

I cant believe how stable scratch live is

You must be pretty stable yourself to play a 16 hour set!

16 Hours... my god!

Champion Effort... Must have been easier with Serato as opposed to 5 crates of records. :)

He, He... Back in the old days, before SSL. I used to bring two crates and two bags just for 3 hours. (Just wanted to have all the options.) Now: I'm free! I'm bringin' ALL my records! ;-)
