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.

Serato News Letter Update



YOU ASKED FOR THE BEST - INTRODUCING THE RANE SL 4 FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE

The Rane SL 4 for Serato Scratch Live is the ultimate high-end solution for professional DJs.

The SL 4 is the first standalone DJ interface to offer two USB ports, superior sound with 96kHz sample rate and 24-bit digital audio processing and galvanic isolation to eliminate computer noise and interference.

Teamed with low latency ASIO and Core Audio drivers, the SL 4 can also be used as a high-grade studio production tool.

All of this in one powerful package, masterfully crafted by Rane. If you're attending NAMM show this weekend in Anaheim, head over to the Rane booth #6958 to check it out.

Check out the Rane SL 4 product page.

In addition to high quality control functionality, NS6 contains a fully functional four-channel digital mixer that can be used with or without the computer.

SUPPORT TIP OF THE MONTH

Drop To Cue Points

Did you know that you can needle drop to cue points when using relative mode?

To enable this feature you will need to select the "Drop to cue points" option in the "Vinyl Control" tab of the setup screen.

Once this option is enabled, you will be able to drop your needle into any of the first 5 one-minute sections of the control vinyl which should jump to the corresponding cue-point if there is one set.

If you are using relative mode, this is a great way of jumping through sections of your tracks without the need to touch your computer keyboard or furiously fast forward/rewind your control vinyl!
