Rane SL1 on USB 3.0 Port

Does it fail after a while or is it one of the "if it starts working, it keeps working" kinds of things?

When it's working, it keeps working. When I unplug the USB cable, Serato may not recognize the 57SL hardware when I reattach the USB cable.

Okay…cool. That at least gives hope. I think the 57 is a USB 1.1 device, which means it's probably pretty close to the same hardware of the SL1. Yay. I might not have to do anything.

The SL1 was discontinued because it is incompatible with the latest Macs. It will work fine on pc USB 3

Not true... using a brand new (mid 2012) 13" MBP with USB 3.0 and it works perfectly.

Sweet. Thank you for answering my original question.

Good info. I have to try this with my SL1.

Some really weird shit just occurred that I can't explain. After a reboot, Serato started normally with my 57SL. After ending my session, I went through a series of turning off/on the mixer, connecting/disconnecting the USB cable, and restarting Serato. Sure enough, it did not reconnect. With Serato open, I plugged in the cable from my SL1. It took unusually long but it connected. It worked everytime I disconnect and reconnected the USB cable. So, I figure, it's something specific to the 57SL. For the hell of it, I connected the 57SL and it worked. Disconnected and reconnected a few more times and it worked everytime. What the hell?

SL1 works on USB3.0 - chiming in because I'm bored.
