Got a question for the computer savvy guys regarding the minimum harware system requirements to run Serato DJ Pro. I'm doing some research on how to determine which older MacBook models are capable of running SDJP. I'm putting something together to help folks determine if their MacBook can run SDJP.
According to Serato's website on the minimum requirements for SDJP, the processor has to be:
i3: 1.07GHz
i5: 1.07GHz
i7: 1.07GHz
It doesn't mention anything about being single-core, dual-core, or quad-core. Some folks believe the i3, i5, and i7 generally correspond to the number of cores, but I have also seen a dual-core i7 and a quad-core i5 before.
So my questions are the following:
1. Are Serato's minimum processor requirement specs based on single-core speeds?
2. And if yes above, how do I do I determine if a processor meets the requirements? Do I multiply the processor speed by the number of cores? Or is there a formula to determine the right processor spec?
3. Will an earlier higher spec Core 2 Duo work?
4. Can more RAM make up for less processor speed?
I apologize for my computer ignorance. Just want to make sure I understand this and I don't give out the wrong info when helping others.
I have two laptops myself and they both run Serato flawlessly. One is a Core i7 2.3GHz quad and the other is a Core i5 1.8GHz dual. I haven't had any major issues using either of them, running at 2ms to 5ms latency. The little Core i5 can run SDJP with 4 decks, using 2 controllers. And I normally have it running with the Boss Tone Studio application also open.
