Ableton and Serato bridge the gap between music production and DJing with The Bridge. The Bridge requires Serato Scratch Live 2.1.1 and Ableton Live/Suite 8.2 or above. Open both programs at the same time with Rane hardware attached to activate The Bridge online.
The Bridge gives you turntable-style control of your own multitrack productions. Simply drag an Ableton Live Set to a deck in Scratch Live and use your turntables or CDJ to control the transport. Scratch Live enhances your productions with deck control, mixing, nudging and DJ style looping, while you can remix, mute/solo tracks, use virtual instruments, change drum patterns, manipulate audio, tweak effects and launch loops on the fly in Ableton Live.
Apart from your Scratch Live hardware, using an additional dedicated controller such as Akai Professional APC40, APC20, or Novation Launchpad opens up your game for more mixing, effects handling and for triggering clips.
Behind the scenes, Ableton and Serato have implemented a two-way communication link to connect the programs. The timing is tight and it doesn't matter which program you open first.
This gonna make ya think about what the hell am I doing with this. DJ Blu with the minimum can't wait too see the full. This is what we talking about right here when we say find out what type of dj do you want to be. This type of set takes time and hours to perfect. Well for most anyway, you have to learn ableton before the bridge.

This Setup was done on 4 Audio Channels. 2 Turntables, MPD, Launchpad. (MPD and Launchpad are merged into Aux). The Supermario OST is triggerd from the Launchpad, as well as the third Song "Fami-Dance".
The Video was originally filmed on two parts, but in preproduction one particular scratch-recording stood out as more special (the one with the most improvisation), so we actually switched this part with the original one. (Chronology: Beat Juggeles / Scratching / Drumming on Pads)
