"If you have it DANG...if not GO and GET IT!!!!"

Feature:
Easy to use and get setup.

Quality:
I bought FS2 when it first came out and it has been solid as a rock.

Value:
A bit no the expensive side if you ask me, but once you get playing with it, the price turns out to be ok. Could be $100 less if you ask me. With everything out there now.

Desirability:
A bit big, but if placed in the right place in your setup, it makes for a nice conversation piece.

Sound:
I use FS2 for DJing and the Starch Amp is as solid as a rock. A bit big but no other issues.

Ease of Use:
All I had to do was install the drivers and plug it in to my workstation and it just works.

Support:
Have not had to call support, its that solid.

Overall:
Been using FS2 for 3 years now. I bought Rane's Serato Strach Live(what the club DJ's are using, had to give it a try) and sold it after 2 weeks. Tried several different software based products and nothing come close to FS2.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
Welcome to the latest innovation in digital DJ technology, FinalScratch 2. This complete package lets you play digital music files from any analog turntable or CD player with ultra-natural feel and response-whether cueing, mixing or scratching. With quick setup, professional 24-bit/96kHz sound quality, and the power of Native Instruments Traktor FS 2 software, FinalScratch 2 is the ultimate way for DJs to play digital the analog way!

The All-New ScratchAmp 2

At the heart of FinalScratch 2 is the new ScratchAmp 2, a FireWire audio interface that delivers maximum audio throughput with minimal latency.

Professional Sound
Plug in your turntables, CD players and microphone to industry-standard 24-bit/96kHz converters for studio-quality sound. And because the ScratchAmp 2 is passive, you can run audio through the amp without power.

Blazing FireWire Speed
The ScratchAmp 2 uses FireWire protocol to process multi-channel audio with minimal latency, allowing the software decks to respond as quickly as your hands. A FireWire Thru port lets you connect an iPod or external hard drive.

Solid Design with MIDI Built-In
Thanks to its MIDI In and Out ports, the ScratchAmp 2 is ready to connect with many of the vast MIDI controllers available for additional "hands-on" control. The small and rugged aluminum chassis is perfect for home use or on the road.

New Traktor FS Software & Compatibility with Traktor DJ Studio

Compatible with Mac or PC, Traktor FS 2 gives DJs a simple, yet powerful way to organize music and play it back using two virtual decks. Traktor FS 2 supports today's most popular file formats-including MP3, WAV, AIFF, AAC and WMA-and can even play tracks right off your computer's CD-ROM drive or an external FireWire hard disk.

Best of all, FinalScratch 2 hardware is now compatible with the award-winning Traktor DJ Studio by Native Instruments. By upgrading to the full version of Traktor, users gain a host of powerful features like looping, independent control over pitch and tempo, plus onboard filter effects and the ability to non-destructively record and edit your mix.

The interface box runs at 24-bit, 96kHz resolution, plus it has aux and mic inputs for recording your mix--and even vocals.
