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 [...]
Over the past few years, Serato has been releasing different colors of their time-code vinyl. The discs come in Red, Blue, Gold, Clear, Purple and even WHITE! Most of the colors have been fairly easy to obtain, with the exception of Purple and White. Purple was only available for a limited time at certain Guitar [...]
My friend Jeff and I got together recently for a basement DJ mix-session. Jeff is running Numark Virtual Vinyl (same thing as Virtual DJ) on his laptop along with the vinyl timecodes. I’m running Serato Scratch Live on mine with vinyl timecodes as well.
If you’re using Serato, you probably already know that Serato Version 1.9 is in public beta. As of this writing, it is currently in Public Beta 2, which historically will be followed by Release Candidate 1, 2, then the actual release of 1.9. On the Serato Forums (and other DJ forums) there has been a [...]
Sweet! Using a midi controller makes it a lot easier, but you can also use your keyboard and mouse. Serato version 1.9 beta is available for download now at www.serato.com, and Video-SL 1.1 beta will available in early Feb.
A little mix with Serato version 1.8.3. Visit www.bpmdjproductions.com/blog to download the entire 25 minute mix.
RIP DJ AM – Active Links to 10 DJ AM Mixes on THIS POST I managed to find another DJ AM mix for your listening pleasure. This is a pretty nice DJ AM set recorded live at Banana Split (wherever that is.) It’s a little different mix than most of his other stuff. It starts [...]
RIP DJ AM – Active Links to 10 DJ AM Mixes on THIS POST I previously wrote a post with links to some DJ AM mixes that I found on Z-Share. After so many days of inactivity, Z-Share will delete the links. I guess this is what happened, because the links no longer work. I [...]
As much as I really don’t care for Karaoke, I booked a corporate party in December that really wanted Karaoke. In fact, I didn’t have a karaoke library at the time of booking the gig, but I had a couple of months to prepare, so I thought “no big deal.” After doing some research online, [...]
I saw this video on youtube the other day about another hidden easter egg in Serato Scratch Live version 1.8.2. It’s basically a loop-roll, but it continues to keep it’s track position no matter how long you continue the loop. For example, if you start looping at :05 into a track and exit the loop [...]
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 [...]
