Frequently Asked Questions
It's a convincing simulation, offering resistance and pressure detection, but lacks the nuance and weight of actual vinyl. It's a good starting point, though.
It's compatible, but the included license is for Serato DJ Lite, a limited version. A full Serato DJ Pro license requires a separate purchase.
The plastic construction is more suited for home or mobile use. Frequent, demanding gigs would likely shorten its lifespan.
