i'm thinking of buying scratch live. but ive noticed in all the discriptions about SL it never really says much about effects. delay, etc. but traktor scratch live does. you can see the effects on the screen.

is scratch live different, do you need a plug in for effects or something?

if anyone could answer that would be great

Scratch Live does not have any effects, unless you use the TTM57 mixer.

But there are hundreds of suggestions for effects in the program, if you search in the forum they will come up.
