The Rane Serato Scratch Live is no longer being made, its actually been replace with its upgraded version the Rane SL 2. But for those of us who have used or have the SL 1 we know they they still provide support for it even though its no longer being manufactured. It actually still gets updated pretty frequently if you are subscribed to the mailing list.


GETTING STARTED

Serato scratch Live is really easy to understand just start it up and get going. Getting started was a breeze and I think I may have only had 1 crash or freeze up with it and that was because I was using it on a very old dell laptop that just couldn’t handle it. But when I use it on my other laptop it works great, it worked great on my dell laptop great just that one time wasn’t so good.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The manual to this device is one of the easiest manuals ever, I only opened it just to look around at the features when I first got it and the manual really seemed to be watered down. But its not watered down its just that easy to understand.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, it’s a great program , and even though its no longer being made you can get the upgraded version which has more features its called the Rane SL2. You will love these product and it will keep your creative juices flowing. So load up those mp3’s that you love and listen to each day and start scratching and mixing them up. This program can do it all, the Ran Serato is a must buy item to have in your arsenal especially if you are just getting started you wont find an easier program to get cracking with. I highly recommend this or at least the upgraded version since this one is no longer being made.

I use Serato Scratch LIVE for 2 months and frankly I'm not, I pass by the FinalScratch before and between the two systems there is no photo, Serato is much more successful and less bugger the FS.
A system that is more oriented Hip-Hop as FS. The scratches, the back-spins, the stop net, slowed down, all you can do hip-hop works perfectly and the sound is nickel, a point we can not see the diffrence with real vinyls like FS!!
In addition to monitoring the product is trs serious, as an online forum and we discuss directly with dveloppeurs that take Whereas every problem encountered and lay put a quick day trs . There's little problem there but small usability bugs due to the youth of the product in its latest version also there remains almost no bugs.
The hardware part is just as caring as the soft part, finished ground loops so often encountered with FS because it There's a box in the optical isolation between the computer and the audio ....
In short, a standard product with a bright future given the new options Submitted by the developer and ending for updates!
Ke the happiness with the quality of the products that we know of RANE.

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

I used this system belongs to a friend with her laptop, my two and my mk2 rane empath (HD25 + Concordes scratch) to the mix and scratch.
General features are standard in quality, but I trust rane in every way!

GETTING STARTED

The plant has apparently not been a prob. Some incompatibility with USB ports (Windows XP) appeared but this problem is not known rane .. and like all problems are addressed on the forum site rane and updates are made often, the bugs had better take it!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The PC is equipped with a Atlona xp with 512 MB of DDR works in combination with Windows XP.
The app is extremely stable.

OVERALL OPINION

I used about ten hours.
I like the simplicity, usability and feel of the soft INAC it the stability and performance that allow a very close working conditions vinyl.
Small flat lack of time-stretch function ...
I think by me buy a can of time.

100% compatible with Windows XP and Mac, with regularly updated set of high quality with SSL Rane and more! What could be better! : D
The pack contains the software, the housing 4, gold-plated RCA cable, a USB cable, 2 timecode vinyl and CD 2, including manual and fuss

GETTING STARTED

Very easy to use I install software in 10 minutes, and cable included!
The case of small size and very well made (rane) the compatible USB port has no problem with my pos cot t recognized it instantly.
The manual provided is very clear though in English with many illustrations.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

No bug since I started, all my zic are recognized without problem but beware Mp3 corompue. (You posters)
Latency is excellent sound at low and high speed is not much better now metaliqueet the final scratch.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one board all who want to buy stuff like this to German eyes closed you will not be disappointed.

I chose this interface for a simple reason trs I prefried peter spcial a vinyl that I can recommend if necessary plutt a drive that no longer exists on the market. Other practical, no need to carry super heavy vinyl bins.
Latter motivates this choice is being able to mix all the sounds spciaux, jingles and even my components in the same Manir a traditional disk. The concept is simply gnial.

USB connector on a laptop Acer Aspire 1522 with a CPU AMD64 3000 + (1.8GHz) 512Mb 60Gb HD and the trs Systm is stable. The laptop rgule speed and with Serato on PC remains a speed of 800MHz in permanence. There is therefore no need for a PC "extraordinary" to use it.

GETTING STARTED

The installation is very simple, connect the interface and installing the driver and software. No worries.

I have not met the incompatibility of my config, on the other hand, there is a spcial forum for this type of device, users do not complain either.

The software is very easy RULES, there is not much paramtre rgler except that the buffer of the USB signal and calibration.

The manual when he, I did not read to learn something but it seems that each item is properly explained.

Do not fault either of the ct.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The drivers are apparently stable, I have several times used the software in the evening and suddenly, as I carry nothing like conventional discs, the Systm must run all night. This test is also trs conclusive since no crash has raised t date.

I do not know if the drivers are being updated for 4 months but I use Systm, I received a new version of software (free of course) and now a new beta version is available. Rane uses several outsiders who test the software and provides them with critical permance Rane into account.

Systm latency is low trs, which must be in the scratching, the PC will need a powerful, simple to the mix, it can be increased to a little machine mnager I really do not know the exact value but in any case the raction is instant and I have never seen the diffrence use with an ordinary disk.

The version I use does not register. But the version 1.5 (currently beta) lets you save the record signal via the inputs. Thing I did not test, but proof is that the software always s'amliore.

OVERALL OPINION

As mentioned above, I served for four months, everything is on the machine aprciable as it works perfectly, forgetting the competitors, I am not here to dgueuler deu but if I had you make a comparison, I cry without problem on 25 pages of shit that exists in the trade.

However, difficult to judge the report qualitprix, it is cheaper than the competitor and more reliable but it is always difficult to give a price software, the interface in any case is robust, well assembled, and as I allowed myself to disassemble (I'm curious I confess), I comfirm that the internal manufacturing quality is exemplary and worthy of Rane.

Systm This is a little fawn future retro, technology control by the old school techniques of vinyl remains the queens with the benefits of a fully transparent numrique who forget to leave s Premire minutes of use.
So 100% pure happiness, trs Systm is reliable and technical support bttn.
CD players flat scratch function is certainly not bad, but it is not the same and for an exorbitant price. Here you have a touch and manip 100% identical to the vinyl just rip CDs to the hard drive.

Spread the word!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks is supernatural when the test first.
OVER current competitors, it is the most successful. a bit expensive but considering the possibilities.
Some effects have been a +;
I would do the same choice.

CHARACTERISTICS For that motivated my choice: I think above all reliability. I had tried other programs but I must say that I Serato bleuf its stability and reliability of use.
I mix with Serato for almost a year for each of my accessories and I've never had any problems.
Here is my configuration: 2 SL1200 MK2 turntables, one mixer ECLER HAK 360, an iBook G4 1.20 GHz with 768 MB Ram running on Mac OS X 10.4.9. I chose an Apple laptop for its reliability and stability. And finally an external hard drive from Iomega Minimax 160 gg in Firewire.

GETTING STARTED

For the installation I had no problem, everything was configured Manir simple. In addition to the iBook's really easy as you branches you click on Scratch-Live, and has gone to sessions mix.
We can also prepare its iTunes playlist thanks in advance.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

For use in the evening was really great, no more tray 50 kg and hard rays or even flights (lol). Scratch-Live is a marvel of simplicity of use, super fluid. For the same mix, the interface on the screen allows us a very good visibility of sound. The mix is ​​even easier because now in addition repert sound, we have a visual repert because the oscillations are listed and rated dfile vertically. It's really nice pens.

OVERALL OPINION

I might burn out a good slogan but it is the phrase that says it all: I RVer Serato did!
Serato is, I think the evolution of deejaying. At first I was super skeptical, but after trying it was adopted.
Despite its high price compared to its competitor's price is justified.
Serato is the future!
