If I was still working 38hr day job and 15-28hrs djing I’d get a Model One or a Rane 68, but budget at the other end of the scale now.Some of VirtualDJ’s components are harder to pick up than others. Now tossing up leaving Pioneer and getting a Serato (built in) Gemini PMX-20 or Beringher DDM 4000? Saw the DDJ FLX6 rrp $1,199 selling at “45% off” $750. So started down the rabbit hole of pioneer controllers w/ inbuilt serato (coz fuck buying SL4 coz in 5yrs they’ll “discontinue” that too). So the laptop (even though used) was “too new” for serato updates/downloads as it was a 64bit lappy and the only ones that work are 32bit hardware (for their 32bit software). Thought ‘downloading an older iOS and compatible serato dj download = problem solved’ ….I was wrong. but can’t play them coz I don’t have serato software. Lost my lappy w/ +29,000 tracks on it… got them back…. I’ve lost the installation drivers and can only download the latest version (which is unsupported). If anyone can help me out, you’d be a bloody legend! Think it’s like Serato Dj 2.2.1 or some shit but it came out with version 1.6. □□Ī- the original installation disc it came with or B- any copy of that version of Serato DJ that plays S元. I can’t afford a new serato set up so I’m hoping someone else is still running Serato with an S元 box. I downloaded serato dj (and pro and lite) and ‘Rane has discontinued the S元 box’. Still runs flawlessly after thousands of gigs. (Also Serato is circa 2004/whenever S元 came out). My trusty work horse the MacBook Pro (circa 2004) died (on my 40th bday) and I had the hard drive recovered and formatted on a newer MacBook Pro but the one thing missing from it is serato.
