abridged version:which hardware version of seratoo is the most current? does it come with the most current software? how does one get the most current software updates if it doesnt? Is there another hardware version coming out? where does one start out !?unabridged version:Hello all, ive probably ended up here as much of you have. I started spinning hip hop in the late 80's early 90's. Slowly started collecting the sample source music and fell in love with more obscure funk soul blues etc. I then start buying massive amounts of lps to the point of addiction(sound familiar?) Ive recently been getting a bunch of mp3's of grails that i though i may never hear!! anyway none of my "record buddies/nerds" have a seratoo. So I was wondering how one gets into the seatoo game? any advice/help is much appreciated.

    The hardware has never changed since v1.0, save for the Rane TTM-57SL (rane mixer w/integrated Scratchlive hardware)

    Check out the Microwave forum. The biggest advice I can give to you is to use absolute mode right off the bat. Check out their tips and tricks forum and you'll be ready to go.

    the 57 Rane is cool, but it means that you will have to bring your mixer whenever you play out with s.erato...and, at least in my experience, you can't always switch out the house mixer. So I say you are better off just buying the reg s.erato setup. It doesn't come with the latest software but you can download updates for free @ the s.erato forum...

    I've been on it for a couple of months and it is great. no complaints at all...

    that was bad advice. use relative mode right off the bat, and make cue points (first down beat, snare before vocals come in) where you want to start and finish your blends / where you want to drop it.

    mac vs pc doesn't matter, they both work well with Ser[/b]ato. i've been running it for 2 years on an IBM Thinkpad and I'm very happy. just don't have too much going on in the background while Ser[/b]ato is running.

    i got the same thinkpad as ayres (t42) and i think it came stock at 1.5ghz centrino, 256mb ram, and a 40gb hard drive. i upgraded to 512mb of ram and i can run bit torrent, aim, firefox, and Microwave at the same time without any dropouts.

    Microwave has very low system requirment, its pretty nice. you dont need a
    laptop top to run it smoothly

    if you want to get a dedicated microwave machine, i recommend a g4 ibook. shit should be more than fine and pretty cheap now
