aye if i were you I hold off for a while too - as you say first generation is always a bit dodgy. I waited for FS for 2 years before taking the plunge to get it but its still not really up to the quality id expect for that amount of cash (its a great system but it doesnt handle turntablism as well as it should and also lot of peeps are having technical/usb issues - tho it works fine in this area for me).
>From the rumours Ive been hearing I suspect SSL will blow it out of the water on performance .. but now theres two on the market i imagine development will speed up a bit and the next gen will be da bomb. If anyones interested Ive got a FS mix up at www.langsman.com [the first one] my first recorded effort with FS. Its a mix of breaks, 313, electro, progressive and various other wacky bits n pieces - I went on a bit of sample frenzy to test out FS (got some really nice stuff off the modulations dvd!) hopefully in my next mix Im gonna try spinning some tunes and remixes Ive been working on along with stuff some mates have done as I think this is where there is a lot of benefit to be had from the whole mp3 thang. peace out, marc ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 2:10 AM Subject: Re: (313) Rane SSL > > > > > i'm very eager to buy fs or a similar system. i've saved the cash and it's > sitting in the bank. but i regard them as beta releases. > software is like sex - i think it's a personal failure if you have to pay > for it. if i'm spending $500 on software, i don't want to have to reinstall > my system software or screw around with drivers or extension conflicts. > for that type of money i don't want any hassles or doubts. till then... > james > www.jbucknell.com > > > > > turnstyle > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > z> To > 313@hyperreal.org > 29/06/04 09:49 AM cc > > Subject > Re: (313) Rane SSL > > > > > > > > > > > > > hmm .. as I understand this system has been developed by a bunch of > Kiwi's > > for those that don't know that is people from New Zealand .. hence > the two tracks > loaded on the screen shot of the software being kiwi artist .. > > but the talk I am hearing .. is that the pitch algorithms are the > good bit . kinda french > to me .. but I think we need to wait six months to get the real > feel . will it survive the > road the vodka . and the 'smoke machine' > > the initial hype of FS .seems to have faded .. and I haven't seen > to many people really > rely on the system .. > > my interest is certainly in the latency . and I had wondered by > the flicking through the > record box thing .. while I know what I want .
