Rane Serato Scratch LIVE
Rane Serato Scratch LIVE is the ultimate software and hardware solution for DJ's bridging the analog world of vinyl and the digital world of computer audio files. Using your CD players or regular turntables you can scratch and mix files from your Mac or Windows computer. You can even add in a live mic input for scratching, or bypass to standard vinyl if you wish. Serato Scratch LIVE is the total digital solution for the vinyl junkie. Take your entire collection wherever you go and leave your precious vinyl at home!
The Rane Serato Scratch Live SL 1 interface connects easily to your standard vinyl or CD turntables. This extremely rugged, portable, high quality, USB interface features two switchable phono or line inputs, a microphone input, two line outputs, and pass thru outputs for the phono/line and mic.
The included 12" vinyl records each have a unique time control signal which allows Serato Scratch LIVE to track the motion of the record, simulating the same movement with digital audio. Due to Serato's proprietary control scheme, the result is a feel and sound indistinguishable from playing vinyl. As a producer and DJ, the track you finished today can be played on a real turntable tonight. You'll never have to cut a dubplate again!
