Nice door prize 

Previously all I had used was Final Scratch v1 which seemed a bit flaky, but used the man Benzaah's Serato on the weekend and was very impressed.

so how do you score a ticket to this if you dont have a copy? 

*BUMP*

Tickets are running out fast! Both derringers stores have some... If you have trouble getting into the stores ring forestville and ask for dan or PM me and i'll see what i can arrange for you.

BUMP ***

Ill go just to try & win the door prize   

yup sure am mate. wanna come round first?

wikid night!!! props to Macro for hooking it up...

Staen was off the charts... reflux & debris were pretty funny...


Karl took the 1st prize, Piers 2nd & me 3rd.... patchy & maka got prizes too... D&B still winning lol...

top night... informative & funny 

Staen 1 is a sick cunt... ( MAD SKILLS) had fun at this and even learnt a few things. Didnt realize serato are a NZ company. I was pretty much convinced already to buy this and the extra bits highlighted in the demo along with upgrades and future mods IM IN. Cheers Dan for the hospitality

Mad turntable skillz indeed. Good SERATO demo for sure.

.....and all i got is this shitty t-shirt ha! 

Cheers Dan for a good night !

spewing i was meant to go dan hooked me up some tickets and i couldn't get to town and back to salisbury but shit happens hey.

glad to hear it was good

A big thanks to all that turned up it was alot of fun, good to see quite a few drum and bass heads in as well. Looks like we could have another one in the making once the vision stuff is up and running.

Respect to you all.

Macro

another serato one or for other products? i'd be heaps keen to check out some more production orientated demos

I think Dan's talking about the next Scratch Live point version which brings VJ'ing ability.

Love to see that shit Dan queue it up !

ah yeah of course

1.8 beta is available on the scratchlive.net website.

had a bit of a play last night.
u can listen to tracks without connecting the box which is wicked.
video isnt in there just yet tho but will be in the final release.
and you can have your say in what you think they should add to it

u have to register to get it

Thanks patch, beat me to it. The vision thing they hope to have up and running by January Sam was very interested for peoples ideas so dont be shy, they will listen.

a 3 deck version would be great

hmmmmm will have to come up with some unreasonable demands, nothin' finer than a developer who uses teh ears...

1.8 also adds AAC (.m4a/'mp4') support it seems...

oh man this shit is toooo good    

that would be sweet! Having 3 channels on the monitor would be somthing to get used to tho

Why three just make it four straight up that way it can all run straight through serato and everything can stay plugged in at all times cds and turnies... gold. A +-16 pitch button would be sweet too with their pitch lock.... serato make the best pitch and time plug- in for pro tools.

Just got mine last week and it FKN ROCKS!!! best piece of equipment I bought for a while. You can do so much with it and the way you can make cue points is awesome!! love it!

Edit:

One thing that does suck about it tho is that you have it on to use the thru's.. oh well, is a minor issue tho

If you read the manual thoroughly it says to buy a power pack for the SL1 box to overcome this issue. Bout $30 bucks from jaycar or the likes mate.

Sweet! Cheers for that mate

I have already set aside desk area for when I purchase this baby

*pats area*

I know most of the serato users here may have seen this already but, for those that dont check the serato forums regularly, check the demo version of the new video options for the TTM57SL below.

http://www.scratchlive.net/about/video-sl/

Big tings gwarn.

sweet, SL 1.8 is out! very nice. Has an ofline player so you can set cue points n stuff without needing to play them with the control record. Been using 1.8 beta for a while, So much better than 1.7. Even has a new hi-fi sampler for better sound quality and Auto gain.

You can download it from here:

http://www.scratchlive.net/downloads/

Life is only going to get better for serato users... 1.8 is the best yet, hands down! Even better for 57SL users, the FX are sounding awesome.

on it

macro - next time im at yours, i wanna have a crack with serato :)

please santa if you can hear me :bump:

you know of any that will hold a lappy, control rekidz (maybe a few extra) and the SL box? cant see any on the UDG website.

Yeah man there is a few, ortofon actually do one too which is a fair bit cheaper than the UDG version but def not as well made. The UDG serato bag is about $330 but is fuckin awesome! Check here they are in the creator series on the UDG website.

?? what wont work

you need the serato scratch amp. The program is useless without it.

Serato users with macbooks, we have finally got the rane serato shortcut keyboard covers coming in...

image not archived: SSL-M-B_Full_A.gif

Due first week of feb.

it wont work for my crappy bcd 2000
can that be resolved?
or is it just how she goes

?? what wont work

serato 1.8

poop.
no matter
tracktor 3.3 is great

just ugly as fuck

Asylum, the auto gain and hi fi were 1.7 also mate :E


I cant even get 1.8 to work on either of my pcs or laptop. And i want use the new feature,  being able to find tracks over multiple hard disks. I tried the beta also no good. CBF raising the issue with them as im happy on 1.7 and hopefully the next update will work for me as they do update pretty often. Ive got both 1.4 and 1.7 running on my main pc and im still using 1.4 on the lappy as i find it a lot easier with the reset track gain button when offline. For some stupid reason some mixers just dont play tunes the same level as at home on the allen and heath. Got me fuked why
And If any of you guys arent using Mixed in key with serato yet, I suggest you get yourselves onto it. It reads the tracks you select then assigns a key in the track's ID3 tag. You then get serato to open the tags as another field and you mix using the camelot system of mixing. I find it heaps good and hardly any of my mixes clash or drop into a hole anymore  :music:

These are instock now.

How much?

These are instock now.

How much?

RRP$69 to give you some kind of idea.

Sweet, might just have to pick one of these up.


Also if someone could help me with this,

I am about to migrate my whole SL set up from a PC to Mac OSx Leopard. What do I need to do to back up all my cue points and crates so that they will work on the mac. I know the directory structure will be different so I am assuming that simply backing up the scratch live folder will give me broken links in the database file.

Is there any solution other than going through all my tracks and remaking the cue point and sorting into crates again?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Cheers

i dont know about the cue points, but i recommend using iTunes to organize your crates in OSX, and to keep all your music organized by iTunes so things are always there when you need them

Thanks patchy, I figured it out. The cue point are actualy embeded into the file itself, not sure how, must be in the id3 tag or  meta data  or something and stays with it where ever you pu the files.

As for Crates, I just backed up my scratch live folder and replaced it on the mac then used the 'relocate lost files' button in the SL set up menu  by draging the folder where i put the files on the mac. This fixed  the paths and worked a treat.

How do you use iTunes to organise crates?

Anyone know much about the Rane TTM57SL mixer?

It has a Serato amp built in - anyone had a fiddle? Any good?

How do you use iTunes to organise crates?

in the file menu you creat new folder, then create playlists in those folders.

then in serato just click read itunes library and your done.

ive found its so much easier to create a playlist in itunes than a crate in serato

might try that cause i now keep all my tracks in iTunes to play normaly anyways.

Cheers mate, hope your having fun over there Mr Patch
