Wait a second, I totally spoke out of line. Ms Pinky is fantastic! If you want to buy my 4 vinyls and liscense I'll sell em to you for 80 bucks. You'll LOVE IT!!!

:] No I have never used it. I just want a cheap way to mix Vinyl and MP3's. What was wrong with your Ms. Pinky experience?
(Approximate prices)
Live Suite - $700
2 Turntables - $600
Mixer - $400
Interface - $300
= Still no way to mix mp3's as if they were/with vinyl...
Ms. Pinky is < $100, whereas investing in Serato will cost you $600... I never knew musicians were expected to be so wealthy :'(
Well hopfully you were not expecting to get Vinyl Control after spending all that. kidding.
No, Ms. Pinky is just what I expected. Terrible vinyl response even after adjusting the "Threshold" and "Sharpness." I have really tried to give it my best with Pinky, and after the M4L Pinky update I got really excited thinking I had better browsing control. HOWEVER Ms. Pinky just dosent map well, the response is not even in the same league as Traktor. Everytime I think, F it, I'm gonna make this work and just get used to it, I end up missing the functionality and response I have with Traktor. If I was just throwing on a piece of mp3Virtual Vinyl, I'd be happy with pinky. However I use Traktor routed into Ableton to scratch cuts, manipulate loops, juggle, etc. I can just mix in an MP3 better with Ableton on it's own. SO, in conclusion, Pinky is no comparison. As little as I have messed with Serato, I imagine Ms Pinky cant hold a candle to it. If there's one purchase I really jumped the gun on it was Ms Pinky. I could have saved myself 100 bucks if I would have just visited the pinky forums for a few days and realized how little activity there was. There may be die hard Pinky users who totally disagree, but thats been my experience. As far as I can tell Ms Pinky users are few and far between, making information and discussion, minimal in comparison. Tell me this, when was the last time you saw a DJ using Ms Pinky? I have never seen it in person, just the internet.
