Re: serato problems

from the serato board:

On some of the MacBook Pros, Scratch LIVE will have USB dropout problems on one USB port, but not others. If you are having problems with USB dropouts on your MacBook Pro, try connecting your Scratch LIVE interface to a different USB port.

Several users have reported that the dropouts are particularly bad when using the trackpad. We have alerted Apple to this problem.

Re: serato problems

I thought starting at version 1.5 was the Universal Binary version... try updating the software. It might be that 1.4 is running under Rosetta and thus the possible audio glitches?

Re: serato problems

I'd still update the software if I were you... running non-native apps under Rosetta is a gamble... especially for processor intensive apps using audio.
