Indeed Peter, its vital I think to have a laptop just for your djing controls. With the music database on the same drive you dont want your machine working overtime to run other apps too.

Yep...Ive a stripped out laptop. With Serato, and a few other porgrams, if the program crashes/freezes/whatever, it continues to play the track to the end. Ive only ever had this happen once, and i was beta testing an update in my local residency. Quick change over to a cd, and Ctrl/Alt/Del and end program, then restarted and all was well.

Now you mentioned that reminded me.
Having used my denon dns 3500's for my first year I remember twice where it just stopped mid song for no reason.
Now considering laptop hasnt had any such events in its 2 years of being used says it all really.
Naturally I carry back up so if it happeaned again I should have music on again within ten seconds.

I better get saving for dj laptop then!!
I had a similar mindset to your OP before using it but.........
All of your musical database at the touch of your fingers means you can change songs to suit the dancefloor much quicker and when I get to a gig and had a scan around of the crowd I go through my music collection early doors as add songs that I think will work to the playlist. Then later on I can play them or avoid them if they arent the way to go.
I got so fed up of driving home and thinking "oh I should of played such and such a tune that would of been perfect"

I have tried using my laptop but as mentioned it needs to be used only for djying.
As for pro dub licence yes it's great but when I went on the site I was a bit confused about the prices on there.
