I was really hyped about this product. But it has a major flaw that is SUPER annoying. Every time i open a new project with Serato sample or re-open a project i have to verify the plugin via the internet. Meaning 10 times a day i have to spend 30 seconds on getting sent on to the internet, clicking log in and go back to the plugin. This makes no sense. Imagine if all my plugins were like this, i would not spend my day on anything else than verifying plugins. And did i mention i can't use it when i'm not on wifi... Serato customer service says "i only have to verify sometimes" but that's straight up a lie... it's always... really sad.
On the feature side of things, the invention level is cool on the stem seperation. I have now tried for a few weeks and i would say 50% of the time the stem sepperation works well with semi-usable quality, the rest of the time the quality is too messed up. but maybe in the future it can get better. One thing i'm disappointed by is the sound quality when time stretching and pitching the samples, it seems quite a bit worse than what i can do in logic or ableton. A lot of quality loss.
SERATO PLEASE FIX THIS DAILY VERIFICATION PROBLEM I BEG YOU!
