Hey, I'm thinking of purchasing Final Scratch (for Mac OS X). Are there any DJs here that have it? And if it is recommended where's the best place to get it?

My bro and i bought it when it was first realeased in the US. The concept is great and it works, that is if you can get it installed. Being the first version there was lots of install problems, and software bugs, which im sure are fixed by now. In terms of using it when you load up an mp3 as your vinyl you can't even tell. There is a lag that is so minute its pretty much unknoticible when it comes to beatmixing, even for scratching its pretty sturdy and you cant really "fool" the dsp so it never skips or as problems if you manipulate the record fast. We sold it shortly after since they were pretty slow on releasing a software update, and the fact that price was dopping and we thought we would get our moneys worht before we lost a $100 in value. Overall i thought it was pretty good, but still lacked the fun of going to the record store and buying your records as well as thumbing throught the crate for your favorite record. I prefer real records because they are there in front of your eyes, i dunno its just weird when you pick your next song on the computer, its always funner to dig through your crates.
