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.

Novation Twitch with Serato ITCH



What is Twitch?

Twitch is a DJ controller with a difference. Developed by Novation and Serato to work seamlessly with Serato ITCH software, Twitch opens up awesome possibilities for digital DJs and the new breed of controllerist performers.

The Twitch control surface features two banks of eight Triggerpads, professional cross-fader and per-channel Fader FX.

The two LED-backlit Touchstrips let you manipulate your tracks using gestures as you would on a multi-touch trackpad or touchscreen; so you can grab, pinch, tap and nudge to navigate, perform and improvise with your tunes like never before.

The Hot Cues, Slicer, Auto Loop and Loop Roll performance modes interact seamlessly with ITCH, letting you mash up your tracks and mix them back together, totally on the fly. Combined with the Touchstrips, FX and Serato ITCH you have complete freedom to manipulate your tracks and create unique live performances.
