have you tried out the demo?
i have tried out the mac os x demo version
as a dj i think i'd really enjoy the waveform for fast cueing, the dual outputs for previewing, the apple lossless support, the itunes playlist imports (since i use itunes as my library and like it a lot)
when i teach swing dance i think i'd really like the pitch control to be able to change the tempo of a song on the fly (instead of making multiple copies of the track with a program like audacity)
what i don't like though, is that it's overloaded with buttons and features i'll never use as a swing dj, and that clutters the graphical interface
also, and more importantly, i don't find the program to be very stable (the demo that is, i don't know if the full version is better, but why should it), with the sound skipping when i make small adjustments in the program
for me, the cuephase program, from the same website, would be ideal, if it also included waveform and pitch control, and if it was super stable, which the demo version is not
bummer...

more sampling
there are two settings in the advanced tab, both increase the amount of memory(RAM) the program is using. i increased it to a level that the playback is unaffected. sometimes changing settings does lag the program. ex: i cant start a new song, change the volume, and start previewing another song at the same time. again, the music doesnt stop, or skip or anything.
i was satisfied with how i got the demo to work, so i bought it, and played a 3hr set with it last week. the only problem was the headphones being too loud, but i was able to fix that with system preferences, while i was playing music.
ttfn,

the log
james,
i dont know if it is in the demo. but the full version has a log. i cant see any internal way to save it. so i cleared it before i started, and then copied it to a text file when i finished my set.
it would be nice to just have the list in order as a playlist, but i am willing to take it the way it is.
