Ableton Serato: Novation Launchpad

Ableton Serato The Bridge

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.

Remix Your Own Tracks Live

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.

Welcome To The Next Level

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.

The World

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.

Kap'n KuTT - 8 Bit Turntablism Showcase - 2011

10:19 PM Ableton Serato No comments

Equipment used:

2x Vestax PDX 2000
Shure M447
Rane TTM 57 SL (Original Faders)
Serato Scratch
Akai MPD 16
Echo AudioFire 4
Novation Launchpad
Ableton Live
1 x Not really stable Desk

Camera: Canon EOS 7D

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)

Pre and Post Production by:

Peter Maler
Eldar Siradjov
