    Ive used vinyl, cdj, ableton, traktor and serato extensively and I would put them in this order

    Serato - good fun + can play both records and digital/risk of laptop crashing in club conditions.

    Vinyl - most fun/so expensive

    CDJ - godsend if you are mortal/burning cd's is a pain in the arse

    Ableton - boring unless you have 4 or more channels going/godsend if you are mortal

    Traktor - not a fan in the slightest.

    have to agree there si, however, the risk of ssl crashing can be dropped to the same degree as a cd player locking up/not reading a disc or a needle snapping on a deck if you load it as a shell - ie bypass windows loading altogether

    then its just down to how you set up the files - if you do as they recommend its pretty much bomb proof

    a lot of people slate the 'laptop' solution, but if everything is set-up right, there should be no more risks than with the other options.

    as much as i would have loved to put vinyl at the number one spot, in this era, i just cant put it above ssl, it makes mixing fun again (it did for me anyway) :)

    i don't really drink now i use the laptop at gigs - still not sure if that's bad or good :)

    sorry was referring to the actual conditions of a club such a heat, humidity etc rather then the software crashing.

    Had my laptop crash at the Cosmic which i reckon was down to the heat/smoke.
