And to reply to some of your comments... Serato has no "automatic beat match" function. If you use it like I do, or most DJs for that matter, you do all of your pitch adjustments with the turntable's pitch control. As for "taking the hunt out of certain records"... I still collect vinyl vigorously. Except now I only have to record a rare record once, and I can play it millions of times with no wear and tear.

COOL this is how i would be using it. I have tables, had em for 8+ years, but couldnt use them for a long time as i was away at school.

Now I am deciding between serato, torq (probazbly going with serato) or cdj's


Question, any mixer (like a djm800) all the effects it has will run/translate.work through seratoi right?
