Scratch Live allows manipulation and playback of digital audio files using traditional vinyl turntables or CD players via special timecode vinyl records or CDs.

The product is discontinued and has been replaced by Serato DJ.

Video-SL[edit]

In 2008, Serato released the first major plugin for Scratch Live, Video-SL. It allows the playback of video files in similar fashion to audio files. Users can apply effects in real time and mix between video independently of audio.

A demo copy can be installed and used but a watermark is displayed on the main output screen. Activation is done via a serial number.

Video-SL was later replaced by a new designed video plugin called 'Serato Video'.

Custom hardware[edit]

Scratch Live currently works in conjunction with five application specific audio devices designed and manufactured for the system by Mukilteo, Washington-based Rane Corporation.

SL4[edit]

The latest audio interface is the SL4. It is the first standalone DJ interface with two USB 2.0 ports for seamless DJ changeover and back-to-back performances. It also has 96 kHz, 24-bit audio. The SL4 has built in galvanic isolation between USB and audio, with turn on/off muting. The unit also includes Low-latency ASIO and Core Audio drivers which allow the SL4 to be used as a studio production tool with third-party software applications.

DDJ-WEGO3 LE SKIN The tailored skin of the DDJ-WeGO3 will be then loaded.

SL3[edit]

The SL3 is another audio interface for Scratch Live. Features include a USB 2.0 interface, improved dynamic range (120 dB), improved audio performance (24 bit converters) and additional audio channels with AUX input and output. Like the SL2 it also has 48.0 kHz, 24-bit audio. The extra channel allows the DJ to record his/her music set, use a sampler while performing or connect a third player for three deck mixing.

SL2[edit]

The SL2 is the audio interface set to replace the older SL1 interface.^[2] The unit has 2 inputs which can be used both as phono or line input, but unlike the old SL1 interface it doesn't have a microphone input and it has only 2 line outputs and no 'thru' outputs. It also features improvements to the sound quality. Whereas the SL1 interface had 16-bit 44.1 kHz audio, the SL2 now has 24-bit 48khZ audio with USB2.0 and Core Audio/ASIO support.^[3]

SL1[edit]

The SL1 is a multi-channel, USB 1.1 external soundcard. The unit has inputs for two stereo turntables or CD players and one unbalanced microphone. There are two stereo line level outputs and two 'thru' outputs which provide a copy of the input signal to enable playback of regular vinyl records or CDs. ASIO drivers are available for the unit to allow it to be used by other Windows applications as a multi channel sound interface. There are no Core Audio drivers for Macintosh-based computers. The SL1 interface is no longer in production, but is still supported.^[4]

MP4[edit]

A 19' rack mount DJ mixer based on the MP2, incorporating the sound card functions of the SL1. The MP4 allows you to record your set digitally within the Scratch Live software over the USB interface. The mixer is recognized by Windows as a 4x output 2x input soundcard so it can be used with any windows application. Also provided are ASIO and Core Audio drivers for use in audio applications on both Windows XP and Mac OS X.

TTM 57SL[edit]

A DJ mixer combining the functionality of the SL1 with an application specific control surface based on the popular TTM56 scratch mixer. It also contains added effects not available with the TTM56 or bare SL1 set-ups.

Sixty-Eight[edit]

Announced at NAMM 2010, the Sixty-Eight is a 4 channel club style mixer with 2 separate USB inputs. Via ScratchLive 2.0 it adds support for up 4 real or virtual deck combinations.

Supported third party accessories[edit]

Serato have begun working in supporting third party players/controllers with the Scratch Live software. These controllers are 'natively' supported and do not require the use of the timecode CDs, all playback and control information is sent over USB. The following are the currently supported native controllers:

• Denon DN-HC1000S
• Denon DN-HC4500
• Novation Dicer (versions 2.1 and above)
• Pioneer CDJ-2000 (versions 2.1 and above)
• Pioneer CDJ-900 (versions 2.1 and above)
• Pioneer CDJ-850
• Pioneer CDJ-400
• Pioneer CDJ-350
• Pioneer MEP-7000
• Vestax VFX-1

It’s been a good while since the spawn of Serato and Ableton‘s partnership has been given the spotlight. But this latest update to Serato Scratch Live is all about adding The Bridge‘s MixTape functionality to Rane‘s Sixty-One and Sixty-Two mixers, as well as turning the Sixty-Two into a MIDI beast of epic proportions.

The official and complete word from Serato Towers:

What’s New in 2.4.2

Features

• Added Mixtape support for the Rane Sixty-One and Sixty-Two:
  Record your Serato DJ performance as an Ableton Live Set, complete with song placement and fader movements. Then use Live’s collection of effects, instruments and production tools to edit, enhance and polish your mix. Note: Mixtape requires The Bridge
• Multi-channel layer support for the Sixty-Two:
  MIDI mapping is now possible for all MIDI control/note values for the 2nd to 16th channel layers of the Sixty-One and Sixty-Two. This requires the latest firmware updates. Get more information on how to use the Multi-channel MIDI layers for the Sixty-Two.

Bug fixes

Playback Fixes

• Fixed SP-6 bug where, when selecting loop start positions, the white playhead will move to the beginning of the selected start loop.
• Fixed SP-6 bug where, when hot plugging, the selected loop slot will not reset to loop 1 if it was previously set to loop 2, 3 etc.
• Re-instated instant doubling always occurring when drag dropping between decks and SP-6 slots, even when the ‘Instant Doubling’ option is disabled.
• Fixed bug where the offline player was sometimes not in auto-play mode.
• The offline player and the left deck are no longer ‘on’ when Scratch Live is launched.

Library fixes

• Improved iTunes XML importing.

This is to address the issue where iTunes library importing would fail when the library contained non utf-8 encoded strings. These formatting errors are an issue with iTunes library exporting.

• iTunes folders are collapsed on startup. Note that collapse state for them is not saved to preferences.
• The iTunes “Grouping” attribute is now loaded from the iTunes library.

File writing fixes

• Fixed an mpeg4 tag writing bug where the track number was being saved to the year tag.
• Fixed track number write bug where for track x of y, where x is the track number and y is the total number of tracks for the album, y was being deleted. This affected mpeg4 files.
• Fixed a bug where .wav file tags couldn’t be read or written to properly because of non-wide aligned chunks. A symptom is overviews always being rebuilt. Note that these files are technically corrupt and will therefore not be able to be analysed.
• Fixed bug where is was not possible delete the year tag of a track.
• Fixed bug where, on first track load for a file that has an .xml and .ovb meta data (located in _Serato_/Metadata), the overview would be rebuilt.
• Fixed bug where tracks with .xml metadata would always do a tag write after they are used for the first time in a Scratch Live session.
• Fixed bug where if there is a non-ascii character in the album field of an mpeg4 file, then incorrect characters could be saved to that field when the file is tag edited (evident upon track load).
• Fixed bug where the ‘total number of discs’ meta data in an mpeg4 file was being incorrectly written to.
• Autogain info can now be saved/loaded to/from OGG files.

Hardware related fixes

• Fixed a Sixty-Two bug where instant doubling could still occur when the track scroll knob is turned during the double click.
• Fixed a Sixty-Two bug where, when using the track scroll knob, it was not possible to rapidly go: load->scroll->load; some of the track loads would be missed.
• When enabling DJ FX flex fx sending, all the channel/deck mappings are now turned off as a means of ensuring that audio reactive video is turned off when a user changes from a non-flex-fx capable device to a flexfx capable device (i.e. switching from an SL 2 to a Sixty-Two).
• Fixed a Sixty-Two bug where the Sixty-Two’s SP-6 trigger button lights still flashed if the SP-6 panel is closed and the play head reaches the end of the track.
• The Sixty-One and Sixty-Two effect sliders in Setup->Hardware->Effects are now midi mappable.
• The Sixty-Two’s recording option now defaults to Mix and not PGM 1.
• Added midi mapping ability for a Sixty-One joystick press.

GUI fixes and changes

• Fixed bug where the UI bar of SSL would still appear on a secondary monitor (when the secondary monitor is above your main monitor).
• Fixed bug where, on startup, the UI bar would be visible, even though SSL starts in fullscreen mode.
• Fixed bug where, if the window is restored, dragged so that the centre of the window is outside the bounds of the display, then maximised again, the OS X Menu bar would be visible and obscure the Scratch Live window mode controls.
• The recording widget’s time area now has the colon and dot visible again.

Serato Video related fixes

• It’s now possible to midi map two midi knobs/sliders to the Serato Video faders. A standard midi mapping will adhere to the ‘link’ state of the Serato Video fader and a ctrl+shift mapped slider will disregard the ‘link’ state.

This benefits DJs who wish to keep their MIDI capable mixer’s faders un-linked from Serato Video sometimes, but still wish to control Serato Video’s faders with another midi controller.

This means you can now use third party mixers to fade video and audio at the same time, but also independently, just the same way as you can with Rane mixers.

Scratch Live 2. 3 1 9

• The Serato Video up fader and cross faders can be shift+ctrl midi mapped so that they adhere to the hardware link settings. A standard midi mapping to these faders will ignore the hardware link states.
• Fixed bug where the mouse/midi/GUI auto cross fader control would not work if fader-link and cue-link was enabled at the same time.
• Fixed bug where, when the Serato Video cue-link button is enabled, the left/right GUI auto cross fade buttons were not working.
• Fixed a bug where the TTM 57SL mapping to the Serato Video auto cross fade control was not working correctly.
• Fixed bug where midi mapping was not possible with some text and image effect controls.
• It should be possible to turn audio effects off now via the Setup > Serato Video > Effects options.

Other fixes

• Fixed the DJ FX bug where deck assignment settings were not being loaded on startup.

Sixty-One firmware release notes (1.12)

Changes since 1.04

• Fixed bug where control panel is loaded with incorrect parameter values.
• Modified Magnetic Fader curve.
• Added Analog Insert Sensitivity Parameter.

Sixty-Two firmware release notes (1.17)

• Added MIDI Control Layer functionality.
• Added live FlexFX Effect Parameter adjustment from the control surface.
• Added External Insert Sensitivity Parameter.
• Added option to disable automatic lighting of LEDs.
• Added support for smarter and easier user MIDI LED lighting.
• Added support for relaying MIDI Real Time Messages between USB ports.
• Added handling of multiple MIDI channels for MIDI messages sent to device.
• Modified Magnetic Fader curve.
• Fixed undesirable flanging of Echo effect due to fluctuations in tracked BPM.
• Fixed bug in Low Cut Echo so that first reflection is filtered.
• Fixed bug where control panel is loaded with incorrect parameter values.

Change list for ASIO and Core Audio drivers

Sixty-Two 1.1.0f2

• Supports MIDI layers. Removed MIDI channel assignment from driver. The mixer processes MIDI channels based on the MIDI layer.
• Added Analog (External) Sensitivity Control. The +4dBu setting is the normal setting, use the -10dBV setting for external devices with low output voltage (2.0Vrms or lower).
• Added User Button Lighting Control. Enable this option when you want to light button LEDs with MIDI note changes (disables the mixer from providing the momentary button LED flash).
• Passes all MIDI Real-Time messages to/from MIDI system (such as START/STOP/CONTINUE). These are enabled/disabled with the MIDI clock options.
• Firmware 1.17 embedded for firmware update.

Sixty-One 1.1.0f1

• Added Analog (External) Sensitivity Control. The +4dBu setting is the normal setting, use the -10dBV setting for external devices with low output voltage (2.0Vrms or lower).
• Firmware 1.12 embedded for firmware update.

Running more than one version of Scratch Live

Installing this version will by default overwrite any previous version you had installed, however it is easy to have more than one version of Scratch Live installed if you wish.

If you have an important gig coming up, you might like to stick with the version you know until you are comfortable with this version. Here’s how to do it:
Windows Users

Before installing, find the Scratch Live executable (by default it is in C:Program filesSeratoScratchLIVE, and rename it. It makes sense to name it in a way that suggests which version of Scratch Live it is. For example, if you’re renaming Scratch Live 1.9.2 call it Scratch Live 1.9.2.exe. When you install the new version, the old executable will not be deleted, and you can choose which you want to run by going into that folder and double clicking on the appropriate executable.

Scratch Live 2. 3 1 Free

Mac users

Before installing, rename the existing application file as above (eg. Scratch Live 1.9.2) – you have to be admin to rename it. (If you aren’t admin, you can copy it to another location, and then rename it.)

Backing up your data

Before you make any changes to your Scratch Live setup, including installing a new version, as a general rule we highly recommend that you backup your data and your music files. The easiest way to backup your data is to simply copy your Scratch Live folder to another location on the drive:

Scratch Live 2. 3 1 5

Scratch Live 2. 3 1 4

• For the drive that contains “My Documents” (or your Home drive on Mac), just copy the Scratch Live folder which is in “My DocumentsMy Music” to another location on this drive. Alternatively make a copy of the folder where it already is and rename it by adding the date to the folder name so you know what’s in the backup.
• To back up the database and crates from an external drive, copy the _ScratchLive_ folder (which is in the root of the drive) into another folder on the same drive.

Scratch Live 2. 3 1 7

So The Bridge isn’t over after all (real heads know what I did there). Of all The Bridge’s features, I personally find MixTape to be of most interest. I hold out hope that one day, it’ll reach ITCH controllers, but for now these mixers are lucky enough to get some love. And we’ll check it out when we get them in for review. Not long now.
