    help with serato

    in MUSIC/DJ HELP

    Posted

    hey

     

    got serato yesterday and installed it on my macbook pro.

     

     

    mp3's are all fine - i can see the music playing (on waveform and serato's output meter) and control it w/ my turntable but can't hear anything - ableton and itunes etc all work fine still

     

    there doesn't appear to be anything in setup which allows you to change output settings etc.

     

    sorry if i'm jus bein an idiot but i can't figure this out:

     

    any help is very much appreciated!!!

    it in't that excitin tho n i have to have it at the other end of my room to most of my set up (turns n fx etc)

     

    this audacity thing has got on my tits tho - guess it serves me right for relying on it

     

    got any alternative wave editors to recommend for mac?

     

    ...free or otherwise...

    erm- got a new mac in the end

     

    downloaded audacity cos i've heard a lot of good things about it-

     

    however it doesn't want to work at all!!!

     

    you click to run the program, it asks you what language you wanna use and then the icon just bounces in the dock indefinitely until you're forced to quit it because it won't respond

     

     

    i have read that other people have had similar problems but i've yet to hear of a solution

     

    if anyone has any ideas i'd be very grateful

     

     

    ta!

    cheers for the laptop advice too people

     

    though i didn't think the core duo processors were meant to be outright faster but they are meant to be better at multi tasking etc. although apple claim the macbook pro is up to 4 times faster than a g4.

     

    i'm not convinced about the boot camp thing either - i've heard horror stories about people using it to have XP on their mac and then never being able to return to osx

     

     

    urrrghh - it all seems such a huge grey area

     

    guess i can't go too far wrong with either (hopefully)

    i've heard that ableton is a bastard to crack

     

    even if you do get a keygen or whatever that works (and there are a couple of dif. kinds of passwords you have to enter) after a certain time the program just figures out that it's cracked and shuts down on you-

     

    all you ever get is a message summat like ' a copyright violation has been identified - please contact ableton technical support' every time you load it up and it will just shut itself down then.

     

    dunno how it does it - you could search for a solution online but i've never heard of one.

    hey

     

    i know this is an age old debate but i need a new laptop and was wondering what people recommend-

     

    a 15" macbook pro

     

    or a 15" PC

     

    i'd be running ableton live 5, d'cota, audacity and perhaps battery at a later stage plus i'd eventually like to get an external soundcard and midi footpedal and do the whole live looping thing.

     

    i've been eyeing up the evesham voyager c550 which comes with Intel® Core™ Duo processor T2400 1.83GHz,1024MB DDR-2 RAM, 80GB 5400rpm hard disk, 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics etc. as i've heard good things about it...it's by no means a definite though

     

    i'm willing to pay for whatever's best but the fact that the evesham is approx £350 cheaper than the mac got me thinkin (i could upgrade it to 2ghz ram and a 2ghz core duo processor for £1301 total)

     

    both sales people in the apple shop recommended i upgrade the macbook to 1ghz ram - any idea if this is necessary? i guess i can try it first and upgrade later...

     

     

    any advice appreciated!

     

    ta.
