2005 STS – No pics yet- I’ve only had it a week.

Two thumbs up for Terry 42 and Vintage! (Can you dig it? Can you dig it? Caaaan you dig it? (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!))

I tried Serato DJ yesterday with my VCI-300 (kind of a disappointment). I think for now I will stick with Itch. Some of the fundamentals of Itch were lost in Serato DJ. In my opinion, they weren’t worth losing for midi mapping and some effects.

For one, in files mode (for that matter in any mode) the backward and forward feature on the controller mounted selector does not work – at all. Scroll doesn’t stay lit (I use the jogs quite a bit to navigate my music list), and when you select a new song, it doesn’t automatically change cue (a to b) – these were native from Itch 1.0. To not have those small things IMHO makes Serato DJ not as fun to work with. When DJing is no longer fun, it just becomes another job. Itch seems to handle the onboard sound card a bit better as well – better amplification.

I was planning on getting a midifighter – guess I’ll have to stick with my FX1.

Since you have a VCI-300, just wait a bit longer for Serato to release the Serato DJ version for the VCI-300 (patiently waiting, rubbing my grubby hands together..)

As the replacement for Itch, the word is that it will support midi mapping. They said the release for those of us who have a 300 is sometime in February. Can’t wait. I have an FX1, but I want a Midi Fighter.

Late to the pool, but dived into the deep end – got everybody in before me!
