As I expected, this product is the best thing I spent my money on. I stopped DJing in the early 90's because it was becoming increasingly more difficult to find good music in vinyl (not to mention the cost was outrageous). I refused to DJ to CDs so I stopped all together till now. With Serato's SL3 system it is just as fun as I used to DJ, except all the drawbacks are gone. No more carrying music crates (except in your laptop), no more being afraid that the stylus needle would skip during a scratch; This product really got me enjoying what I had long lost, my passion for mixing. (Review some of my mixes using this product following this link: [...] ) I hope you opt to buy this product. The money is worth every penny, and hope to see you sharing some of your mixes @ [...] too.

The best investment I have purchased to date. I have been playing with Serato ever since I have received it. So much better than having to lug such large crates around to DJ with. Seamless integration of your iTunes music into Serato and it even analyzes your songs for BPMs. You can create virtual crates with it and organize and rename files within Serato. There is even an offline mode to where you can play your crates like a play list for when you're not DJ'ing. Great product. A+

Let's face it, it's a DJ standard, Serato is the choice of most DJ's and club installations. The SL3 continues to build on the ScratchLive platform - now with a 6 channel sampler and third deck. 24 bit DAC upgrade (SL1 was 16bit) helps with improved sound quality. The included international compatible AC adapter ensures its easy to switch DJ laptops while playing vinyl in pass through mode. Worth every penny!

I have been using Serato SL 2 at my club for a few years now & am very happy with it but was hoping SL 3 could have inputs for 2 turntables & 2 cd players when used with any mixer. Other than that Serato rocks & is extremely stable & the Ableton bridge is fab.

As an owner of sl1, and after seeing the sl3 in action live, all I can say is your money is better spend on buying a used sl1 or a new sl1. Until these units come down to about 400-500 dollars, save your money and upgrade other parts of your DJ components.
