Differences Between the Rane Sixty-One, Sixty-Two, and the 57SL

This is probably one of the best videos I have found explaining the difference between the Rane-57SL and the Rane Sixty-One, and the difference between the Rane Sixty-One and the Rane Sixty-Two. Skratchworx (www.skratchworx.com) filmed the video, and DJ Big Wiz takes us through the major differences. The biggest question for me that the video [...]

Rane Announces Three New Mixers – the Sixty-One, the Sixty-Two, and the Sixty-Two Z!

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 [...]

Awesome Pic of the New Rane/Scratch Live Mystery Mixer

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 [...]

Pic of Rane TTM-58SL?

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 [...]

Rane Empath SL at Winter NAMM 2012?

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 [...]

What Has Two Arrow Keys and Mixes Video-SL? My Laptop.

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 [...]

My Serato Scratch Live Woes…….And What I Did to Fix Them

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. [...]

KueIt – Drop Sampler for Serato, Traktor Scratch………or whatever!

There have been some rumors floating around online that there is a drop sampler hidden in Serato Scratch Live as an easter egg. There is also another rumor claiming that there will be a sampler in Serato version 1.8.3. I don’t know anything about that, but I do know there is a program called KueIt [...]

Attigo Touch Screen Turntable – SWEET!

A UK student named Scott Hobbs invented this super sweet touch-screen turntable setup for his innovative product design course. Currently, Attigo only exists as a prototype, but Scott is planning on commercializing it in the future. I have to admit, it looks very cool, but it is really practical? I’m sure it won’t be cheap, [...]
