Anyone with Serato?

I have a MacBook Pro and Serato – no problems.

I’m in love

Ive been using Serato on a first gen macbook with 1gig ram for about 6months now and havent had a single hiccup…..I use the combo for live gigs every other week on average…..Im pretty impressed with the macook…I think if you max out the ram or even get at least a gig….youre not gonna see a big difference in performance against the macbook pro..On the other hand , Ive seen Serato crash a powerbook a few times….you will have to get the firmaware update from seratos website which is easy enough

yeah im on an intel mac as well using serato – tends to lag abit when i have other applications open like the internet and messanger, but other than that it works a treat

serato should work fine on non intel macs as far as im concerned..

I have a macbook pro and for some reason serato acts sketchy if you use the usb port on the right side. It works completely fine if I use the usb port on the left side next to the power cable.

wow!!! lol.

it seems everyone uses Mac with their Serato. i have a Dell E1505. lol. but customized it online and beefed it up a lil. had it freeze on my recently but that’s probably because i’ve NEVER defrag’d my laptop since i got it!!! lol. anyways, are Macs really that much more "stable" with Serato and a PC??? i’d love to get a powerbook one day. but i not rich like all you guys.

Serato on a 15" Mac Book Pro, duel core 2.4. 2GB Ram with not a problem.

The USB thing mentioned is a problem created by a shared USB bus between the track pad and the right hand side USB port.

Generally, according to the Serato Forums, it is advised to plug the Serato box into the left hand side USB port.
I use the right side USB for a mouse (selecting the option to deactivate the track pad) which makes using the hot cues, other keyboard functions easier as I tend to rest my wrist on the track pad area of the MBP.

serato will run fine on the one you’ve got already

My serato shortcuts for abs rel and int mode don’t works. Even with shift . Any ideas ?

You need to hold the function key fn on the far left. I believe that is because the function is on lock some how mine got deactivated now I dont have to hold that to activate it. Anyway that should do it.

Macpro + Serato = No Problems
