Re: [microsound] Final Scratch -- was Re: [microsound] Make your own vinyl



for me everytime ive used final crash its had some sort of bug...either the
music imported directly offa cd sounded horribly distorted or the damn thing
just crashed outright...ive come to find unless you use aiff files or rip
the song off of cd with itunes, the distortion problem goes away...but the
bugginess of the 1.0 hardware is still there

a friend of mine however got serato scratch live...that system works the way
final scratch should...u dont even have to rip your music for it to work, u
can just pop in a cd and load the track to serato...imho...if u are going to
get a vinyl emulation system, SSL is the way to go...but personally, ill
take a cd player with a jog wheel over either of those.
