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.

Scratch Live 2.3.3 Now Available



Full list of changes:

Playback and file management fixes

* Total rewrite of all metadata/tagging read/write of all MPEG-4 files. This includes .mp4, .m4a, .aac and many .mov files.
* Potential fix to seemingly random crashes during playback of files decoded by Quicktime libraries (mac).
* Fixed bug where autoplay was enabled after hot-plugging hardware.
* Fixed bug where some MPEG-4 files were being incorrectly marked as corrupt.
* Fixed bug where some files were not relocating after using 'relocate lost files'.
* Removed video file filtering. This means Scratch Live can now play audio from video files without having to have Video-SL installed.
* Fixed potential crashes when relocating lost files.
* Fixed MIDI mapped SL4 THRU button still triggering even when 'Lock Playing Deck' is in effect.
* Fix for Grid Edit keyboard shortcut not cycling through the SL3 Aux Deck.
* Fixed Relocate Lost Files not finding files in some cases and sometimes losing information.
* Empty crates are saved to the root drive's subcrates dir to allow the user to prepare a crate structure. NB: Empty crates are never saved to external drives.

Hardware related fixes

* Fixed bug where if SSL was started with the TTM 57 plugged in, it would increase its gain level if it was unplugged, then plugged in again.
* Fixed the TTM 57 B1-B6 button mapping so that their states match the state of the Scratch Live function to which they're mapped to.
* CDJ-900 loop editing now works on deck 4.
* Fixed bug where some midi controllers wouldn't display in the MIDI panel of the setup screen. Affected devices include the NI Kontrol X1.
* Fixed issues with the Pioneer MEP-7000 pitch and velocity controls.

GUI fixes

* When 'lock playing decks' is in effect, the thru mode button is now disabled.
* Fixed bug where the waveforms were rendered a little low (horizontal mode).
* Fixed incorrect spacing for + pitch amounts on the GUI's velocity sliders.
* Fixed bug where the bpm couldn't be doubled/halved without the edit box seemingly clearing all text upon a key release.

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.


ANNOUNCING THE NEW NUMARK NS6 FOR SERATO ITCH

The Numark NS6 is a 4-channel Digital DJ controller for Serato ITCH with complete built in mixer and 4 decks of software control.

With touch-activated platters, intuitive hardware controls, and a rock-solid, latency-free hardware/software connection, the Numark NS6 is a formidable force.

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.

For more information, visit the Numark NS6 product page.


SCRATCH LIVE 2.2 IS RELEASED!

Serato Audio Research are pleased to announce the release of Scratch Live 2.2 - a highly optimized version of our popular DJ software.

Scratch Live 2.2 now supports the VFX-1 as a native controller for Serato DJ-FX. There is also a brand new DJ-FX mapping on Group 5 of the Rane TTM 57SL, offering tighter integration between Scratch Live and the mixer.

Along with these new FX controls, we have made over 250 improvements with a focus on stability and performance.

Scratch Live 2.2 is a free download, and is available now.


CHECK OUT THE NEW PIONEER DDJ-S1 FOR SERATO ITCH

The new Pioneer DDJ-S1 for Serato ITCH is a digital DJ controller that offers familiarity, innovation and pure controllerism in one inspired package.

The Pioneer DDJ-S1 DJ controller has been carefully co-designed with Serato for Serato ITCH, balancing simple plug-and-play connection, with amazing software features and superior hardware control.

The result is a seamless and powerful DJ system that could only be built from the partnership between these two industry leaders

HAVE YOU GOT THE GOLDEN TICKET?

Novation have teamed up with Rane, Serato and Loopmasters to launch the Golden Ticket campaign.

They will be giving away 25 pairs of special edition gold Dicers, five gold Launchpads, 50 pairs of special edition Golden Ticket Serato control vinyl, and a gold Rane Sixty-Eight mixer!

Golden Tickets can be found inside every special edition box of Rane SL1 and SL3 interfaces as well as TTM57SL and Sixty-Eight mixers. Every single ticket unlocks over 500MB of Loopmasters sample content hand picked by the Loopmasters, but only a handful are linked to the hardware prizes.

Check out the Golden Ticket Routine put together by DMC Champ, DJ Blakey.

Head over to the Novation website for more information.

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!
