I’m not sure how long this video will be up, but feast your eyes while you can on Serato Scratch Live Version 2.0. It looks very real to me. We’ll find out for sure on Jan 14th!
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 [...]

Mixvibes Cross Gets an Update (Version 1.3)
I just got an email from the MixVibes crew notifying me of the latest update to MixVibes Cross. In my hands-on review, I talked about Cross’ great performance in some areas (latency, looping, library, cue points,) but also pointed out my disappointment in the “sticker drift” issue. Well, in Cross version 1.3, my one major [...]

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a Cross Pack from MixVibes. Basically, this pack includes the new Cross software from MixVibes, their U46MKII usb interface, all the necessary wires, two vinyl control records, and two CD’s. I hooked everything up and gave it a test drive over the course of the week. [...]
DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) Found Dead – It’s a sad day for DJs, myself included…..
Just like most of you, I got the sad news today that DJ AM was found dead. He will definitely be missed by DJs and non-DJs alike. Not only was he skilled at his craft, but he was a down to earth, humble guy. I often find myself repeating one of his favorite phrases “Starve [...]
MixVibes Cross Video
I actually have a MixVibes Cross Pack in my possession, and plan on doing a FULL review of the product in the near future. I will tell you, once I got everything set up, the first impressions were good. If anybody’s curious, MixVibes Cross will run you about $349 (US). Here is the latest video [...]

Traktor Scratch Duo – Better Than Serato Scratch Live and Only $350???
Native Instruments recently released Traktor Scratch Duo, a bare-bones DVS system for DJs that want to mix on two turntables or CD players with music stored on their laptop. Traktor Scratch Duo doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of Traktor Scratch Pro, it more closely resembles Serato Scratch Live. But, while Serato Scratch Live [...]
The Rane SL 3 for Serato Scratch Live – Very cool, but too costly for an upgrade.
Last week, Rane/Serato announced the new SL3 box for Serato Scratch Live. The main improvements over the original SL-1 box is improved sound quality and a 3rd auxiliary input which is supposedly going to open up “third deck” possibilities in the future for Serato users. I saw the launch announcement and was like “Cool, I’m [...]
Numark NS7 Released Today – March 24th, 2009
The Numark NS7 was launched today. Is anybody really going to drop $1300 on this thing? At least it works hand-in-hand with Serato Itch, so it might be worth it. Pretty nice video demo of its features below.
