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.
Learn How To Set Up Your Gear
If you're just getting started with Ableton Live, you'll want to go through the Ableton Live lessons, located inside the program in the Help View
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.

New Orchestral Instruments from ProjectSAM
In-depth
There’s nothing like the sound of an orchestral ensemble to set the right tone for your music. Startling horns and short string stabs bring up the tension, while slow, sustained bowing and fluttering woodwinds establish a more elegant atmosphere. The only problem with orchestral sounds is that you normally need an actual orchestra to get them.
Enter the ProjectSAM Orchestral Ensemble Essentials. Gorgeously multisampled and custom-built for Ableton Live, OEE features a robust selection of string, brass and woodwind ensemble sounds - in addition to a selection of one-shot orchestral effects samples - that give you the power of an orchestra on your computer.
Is it live or is it Live?
Beyond just sampling the sounds, OEE also picks up the natural placement of the instruments in an orchestra. Use the Stereo Macro featured in the ready-to-use Instrument Racks to preserve the pristine placement of the sounds, or add your own stamp to it with effects. For maximum realism, Orchestral Ensemble Essentials includes multiple articulations such as staccato, pizzicato, tremolo, and spiccato. Intelligently-mapped Macros allow for both quick switching between these articulations, and highly musical crossfades during held notes (such as fading from a sustained string ensemble to a tremolo string ensemble or adding a lower octave for extra body) are also possible. For even more variety, several instruments include doublings, such as piano and xylophone.
Orchestral Ensemble Essentials is designed for a vast range of musical situations, from film scoring to hip-hop to experimental filtering and effects chopping. Think of Orchestral Ensemble Essentials as a plug-and-play orchestra at your fingertips - or add Live’s effects to make something entirely new. Whatever you do with OEE, there’s no session booking required.
You can check out the sounds here.

Robot Koch Beats in the Details
Whether positioning a clap and snare hit just slightly off time, or using a ripped up piece of paper for percussion, it's the little things that give Robot Koch's beats such a deep, unique signature. Koch demonstrates the many individual tweaks in Live that make up his unique grooves.
