If I was a club owner, the SL4 would be more appealing to install because of the 2 USB connections.
If NI feels the pressure, you think they may put out another soundcard?

Assuming the club has CDJs you could just have them plugged in and routed to a thru output and if the assumption is correct about it accepting external power then you can just switch USBs with the next digital DJ while playing a track on the CDJs.

LOL, so everyone can say "These stupid club owners didn't realize that we all want to play Traktor these days. It's 2011, WhyTF they are putting these Serato?".

So at the end, NI will make the SL4 TSP certified

because of multiple complains

It's very likely that they make more money out of software ... the hardware+soft formula appears great, as we like to pay for "integrated" solutions better

. SL4 for TSP is like a certified mixer solution ...

that'll never happen, I guess, but it's still a nice joke. Never happen for the pure reason of politics. Probably Rane would not allow them, above all

imagine how many serato customers they'd steal! again!

regardless, if the A10DJ price is comparable to A8DJ, it's a cheaper option than SL4

Hehe, definitely...
Maybe they still don't support the CDJ 2000 properly because that would hurt their hardware sales as well? The last 3 times I played, CDJ 2000 were provided to me. I used them as an interface as well as a controller, even tho Traktor support is still crappy... With 2000s (or other USB capable CDJs) everywhere (in the future), I wouldn't have the need for another interface.
Of course, nothing against my trusty Audio 8

Well before the TS4 was released and there were rumors NI was up to something and what would be the "next" hot thing released. I remember a good breakdown describing how the real money is made in hardware and not software. At the time the person describing it suggested that maschine integration would likley be the next big ticket because of the hardware. About a month later the TS4 was teased and later released. Now....the TA series is coming out.

Either way. Enough of that. We need some more scoop on the software!!!!

So it seems that it would not be for free...

Was there a price on there or not? The page has been removed now...
