Serato Scratch Live. What Is It?
Serato Scratch Live is a great digital DJ tool that consists of the Serato Scratch Live software, Serato Control and hardware made by Rane.
For a start, there are no more heavy record crates to hump around, from party to party, for the professional mobile DJ, which obviously makes his or her working life a lot easier to cope with. This is due to being able to convert the vinyl into a huge digital music library, which can be transported to work in a laptop or external hard drive.
There is no other digital PCDJ solution available that actually replicates scratching and mixing, with good old vinyl, than the Serato Scratch Live. The art of DJing will live on as there is no automatic synch facility, meaning the DJ stays in control – not the computer.
Control Products for the Serato Scratch Live.
The purpose of Serato Vinyl, CD or Approved USB Controllers is to be able to beat mix and scratch audio files straight from your hard drive. The Scratch Serato Control Vinyl and Control CD is included in the Serato Scratch Live package.
Probably the best feature though is having the ability to cue or scratch the control vinyl exactly with the digital audio file. This is achieved due to the control vinyl and control CD having a unique control signal. You really have to try it for yourself to believe it.
Scratch Serato – truly is the only digital solution which accurately simulates playing, mixing and scratching vinyl.
A list of approved and certified USB controllers is included below. These are completely compatible with the Serato Scratch Live. The USB controller’s display screens are sent the track information from the software. These Scratch Serato USB controllers can be installed with a minimum of fuss.
