No mention of anything 8000 related in the 1.9.6 release notes. However there is a couple of performance optimisations & loads of bug fixes, so maybe we get lucky. I can say though, that while testing all of their beta’s I still experienced right side screen freeze.

I Think problems are not due to Serato, But to usb 3 of my macbook pro 15" retina 2015. Like Numark says, usb3 is often not compatible with usb2, mcx8000 and Serato work better with usb2. So i bought a usb- thunderbolt interface . I Hope this Will work better.

I connected an usb-Thunderbolt interface but…nothing. This is worse.

The Video fader glitch was fixed. Thank god.
Not a change to the MCX-8000 but there was a glitch where faders were locked to video, even if you disable them.
