Ableton Serato: cuts

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.

SUPPORT TIP OF THE MONTH

Ctrl + Click Functionality

Did you know that you can hold the ctrl (control) key and mouse click to reset the position of knobs and sliders in Scratch Live and ITCH? We call this ctrl + click functionality.

If you ctrl + click on knobs or sliders, this will reset them back to their default positions. For knobs this is the 12 o'clock position, and for sliders this is the center position.

In Scratch Live, you can also MIDI assign ctrl + click functionality. To do this; enter MIDI assign mode, ctrl + click on the slider or knob and assign this to a button on your MIDI controller. Pressing this button will now reset the position of the knob or slider.

Mac users can also use the command key for the same functionality.

TIP: You can ctrl + click on a track's waveform to toggle between the standard and tri-band waveform view. You may find the tri-band waveform view useful if you wish to view each frequency band independently.
