Transparent audio. If you have good source files, it's impossible to tell it from vinyl.

The only thing I wish it had is a way to record mixes within the program itself. MIDI support and a sampler would be nice but that's not really within the scope of the product.

Takes a few minutes for setup (make sure you do the phono calibration in the manual), after that it's really intuitive. Read the manual, there are a lot of really convenient shortcut keys that aren't that obvious (but there are on-screen buttons you can click on if you don't want to read it).

Totally solid.

The stanton setup does a little bit more for the same money, but SSL is much more solid and responsive.

Free email support that gets back to you within 24 hours. Free upgrades to the software as long as the hardware is supported.

Other DJs wish they had this... I only have to carry 2 records and a laptop with me to shows.

Serato Scratch Live is the industry standard when it comes to DVS, it is that way for a reason. I have used Scratch Live for about 4 years and never had a single crash. I gave the sound a 9 only because the SL3 is a better sounding interface, but you will be good with the SL1.

It has all the featured I need, and all the features any DJ would need. With the newer versions of Scratch Live, new features such as effects have been added.

The set up is super easy, its a product that just works straight out of the box!! The interface is the best looking interface of any DVS, easy to read layout!!

The best investment I ever made!!

You can go to serato.com and pretty much find any answer you are looking for, or you can ask a question and get an answer quickly!

The best looking DVS out there, looks professional and is professional.

The sound is good. The only thing is drop outs. But since this is about the sound you get what you get in your sound library on your computer. Not really the interfaces problem. Unless they added some digital inputs and outputs. Lets get out of the RCA conections world.

The GUI is nice and clean but what you see is what you get. Not many cue points or loops. No Midi control that really blows. Only can play certain audio files. Sometimes that gets to be a pain. Nothing that flashy. Old school usb teck ( they should spend some money for firewire. Mic input is 1/4" could be xlr. Wires included are not the best. No ways to customize the interface. The vynal code is only 1khz which is now crap compared to the new products out there. Well thats enoghf for now go compare it with some others not just because its popular. Go check out ones with better specs and try them for yourself you will feel and see a big difference. Sorry serato!

That is all it got. If you only like a few features.

Solid box. Good program i guess. Its not the worst one i seen.

Bad. You can get better stuff now that cost less or about the same. I am pissed I got this first.

They were not that good about anything.

THe GUI looks good! Thats it!

Anything ( What do you think u do with turntables????)

The sound is great.

The features are pretty good. Only thing lacking was the ability to record your sets. That was taken care of in the new version.

Easy,,,, Right out of the box its easy to set up. The included manual walks you through the whole process.

The product is well made. Havent had any problems so far.

Yes. Its well worth the money.

I havent had to deal with them. They do have plenty of resources to have any questions answered though. The forum is great.

Very nice looking unit. Though its not seen by others. Its tucked away in my dj set up.

the sound is excellent. when i use my vinyl controllers, it sounds better than my real vinyl.

After you get used to the shortcuts and hot keys, you don't even have to touch your tables unless you really want to. when you build the overviews, it gives you the bpm of the song, so mixing is easy. plus it has a beat offset display that lets you see which side is drifting. As far as effects, who needs them!(that's what you have a good mixer for, right?)

i was using this thing like a pro in like, a day! you can put up to 9 cue points that automatically save. I think like 5 loops, or you can use the autoloop and jump between lengths for some extra remixing on the fly.

Play on it and that's all you need to do.

Well worth the money considering how much i used to spend on vinyl.

always a 10 if i haven't had to use it

I have it, I love it, and I don't see myself changing my mind.
