Dub-Se7en Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 for £200, brand new unopened sorted. first job, import superseal and take her for a burn http://www.dubse7en.co.uk/dubse7enmusic/sslfirstuse.mp3 not too bad considering it's fresh out the box with no adjustment now to figure out how to use the blasted thing, looks a bit complicated....

Dub-Se7en Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 been using digital since 2003, one of the first UK FS users currently importing my music into it, takes a while..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopherEightyFive Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 dope cuts man. what system are you runnin ssl on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-Se7en Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 @steve: a mate of mine who bought a shit load of dj gear, then decided he couldn't be arsed with it, so he sold it all, so i took the ssl off his hands @topher: nothing special. Compaq presario 2600intel celeron 2.6512 ram40gb hddXP Pro sp2 lightly tweaked with eyecandy turned off. whilst having a brief play about i noticed it couldn't handle fast chirps all that well compared to FS. however, i've not done any tweaking to the settings yet, partly cos i don't know what anything does yet, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopherEightyFive Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 word man. id suggest that you get some more ram so you lower the latency (then it would respond to chirps better). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-Se7en Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 is the latency the USB buffer? i dropped it to around 6 but it didn't seem to make a difference. am gonna upgrade to a gig when i get chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x2k Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Nice cuts, you should post them on asis PS you absolute cunt for getting ssl for £200, I badly want it and a laptop but I'm proper skint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-Se7en Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 honest comparison time. FS: Sound quality is slightly bettermuch better interface, can see cue points better, waveform is less clutteredcrates and playlists are separate, in ssl there are just crates (to my knowledge)Key correction is far better sounding when slowed down, although ssl sounds better when you scratch with the keycorrect on.seems less rescource hungry, can run on lowest latencyat the moment it performs better on the cut, but once tweaked i think SSL will out do it. SSL cueing and needle dropping is better, eg leaving the needle over a sample on fs doesn't work so well unless you constantly baby scratch so it can read the timecode.vinyl feels much better made.importing tracks by dragging and dropping through explorer is a good idea. i'm a long time FS user so i'm obviously gonna prefer the FS interface cos i know it back to front, but i think, with time i could learn to like this.

Dub-Se7en Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 1) yeah, FS22) no. no you can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x2k Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 2) no. no you can't Cunt. While we're on the subject of these vinyl control systems I got a question...can you set cue points in the mp3 files....I'm guessing you can so you can jump around to pre-selected points in the tracks but my question is what happens to the record marker...does it reset at the cue point, continue from the place it's already at, end up in the same place as if the record had played through to that point or something else????

Infinite Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Can't believe you've deserted me Dub. On the other hand, seeing as there's no longer any updates being made for (non Traktor DJS) Final Scratch it's probably a wise decision.
