Today at NAMM, Rane announced three new Serato Scratch Live Mixers, the Sixty-One, the Sixty-Two, and a special Z-Trip mixer – the Sixty-Two Z! I’m curious on the pricing for these beauties, I’ve heard $2199 MSRP, but I’m not sure if that is accurate. Peep the video and pics! More details to come later! Rane [...]
Earlier today I found another “leaked” photo of the new Rane / Serato Scratch Live mixer (TTM-58SL or whatever you want to call it). Winter NAMM starts on January 19th, so we’ll learn more then. But right now it appears to be a 2 channel mixer with approximately 832 buttons and knobs! Click the thumbnail [...]
With Winter NAMM right around the corner, I recently wrote an article speculating the release of a Rane Empath mixer with Serato Scratch Live built in. Days later, the Serato forums were buzzing about a picture “leaked” on the “Serato Control Vinyl Collectors’ Group” Facebook page. The photo (below), shows a group of guys with [...]
Could it be…….yes, finally we will be able to get our hands on the mythical Empath-SL mixer in 2012?! Well, maybe and maybe not. The fact is, nobody knows except for the parties involved at Rane and Serato. The Serato forum has a rich history of Empath SL speculation and pleadings directed toward the companies [...]
I rarely DJ with videos. In fact, this past Saturday was the second gig ever where I mixed videos. I use Serato Scratch Live version 1.9.2 (SL3) along with the Video-SL plugin, two turntables, and a Rane TTM-56 mixer. For my first video gig (a prom), I was worried that I would have trouble fading [...]

Let me just preface this by saying I have been a loyal Scratch Live user since 2005 and would consider myself to be a huge fan of the product. But lately, I have been getting frustrated with the latest releases. I was using Scratch Live Version 2.2 with my SL3 since that version was released. [...]
A few weeks ago, I DJed a Prom where the students requested music videos to be part of the performance. I had never actually done a “video dance” before, so the weeks leading up to the Prom included a lot of experimentation and discovery on my part. My setup consists of a Rane TTM-56, 2 [...]
In a previous post I wrote when the Rane SL3 was announced, I said that the upgrade wasn’t really worth it for DJs who already owned the SL1. Well, a few months after that post, I sold my SL1 to a friend and bought an SL3 for myself. Having DJed with it for about 8 [...]
