Scratch Live Timecode Vinyl

In this post we'll learn all about Timecode vinyl and digital vinyl systems, from where it all began all the way up to the most advanced setups available today. We'll find out how you can easily DJ with vinyl and a laptop, and explore your setup options. But first let's take a look at why timecode vinyl is so appealing to the modern DJ. Serato DJ (and previously Scratch Live) is one of the leading DJ software applications out there, and in my personal experience by far the most widely used.I have played almost all of my dj gigs with the Serato software since January 2007. Serato DJ and the old Scratch Live, together with an appropriate sound card, form a so called DVS setup, which is short for Digital Vinyl System. Serato Official Control CDs (1 Pair) The Serato Official Control CDs contain the Serato NoiseMap™­­ Control Tone for use with CD/media players to give control over Serato DJ or Scratch Live software. Native Instruments TRAKTOR SCRATCH Timecode Vinyl is helping to close the gap between digital and analog DJing. The specially designed TRAKTOR SCRATCH Timecode Vinyl has the control signal formatted onto it, giving you unmatched response - it feels like the digital file is cut right into the wax.

Scratch Live 2.5 (Legacy)

Note: Serato Scratch Live has been replaced with Serato DJ.

IMPORTANT: Please read this known issue before updating to Scratch Live 2.5

Serato Scratch Live 2.5 comes loaded with a bunch of key features including: Support for Serato Remote, free Loopmasters sample content, plug-and-play support for Pioneer CDJ-2000nexus and MIDI Output Lighting.

Asio sound card virtual dj download. Changes since version 2.12. Workaround for a bug in the Windows 8/8.1 Bluetooth audio driver (causing BSOD when device is opened twice). This bug seems to have been fixed in Windows 10. NOTE: Low latency ASIO audio is only really necessary if you are scratch DJ. Otherwise you are simply making your computer's CPU work harder to provide low latency that you don't really need (The lower the latency, the harder your computer must work to keep up.) NOTE: Atomix Productions do not manufacture any hardware or its associated drivers. Goto Applications-Utilities-Audio Midi Setup 2, Make sure the sound card of the controller, is not the default one. Click on Configure Speakers button at the bottom and set the Speakers to 4 (Quadrophonic), from the Multi-channel tab NOTES: - None of the above is necessary if the Sound card is offering proper ASIO drivers.

Scratch Live 2.5 Bug Fixes

Alongside these key features Scratch Live 2.5 also includes bug fixes to continue the unparalleled level of stability and performance that Serato software is known for.

Some examples of the bug fixes are:

  • Mixtape .als recordings now work with Ableton Live 9.
  • Fixed a bug where the beatgrid lock wasn't being saved and loaded to/from the file; it was only being saved to the database.
  • The Sixty-Eight record source is now correctly loaded from preferences.
  • Fixed a bug where the CDJ-350 was sending both MIDI and HID messages which meant it could possibly fire two different Scratch Live events at the same time.
  • Fixed a bug where the DJFX deck assignments wouldn't save to preferences if going from being 'on' initially, to 'off'.
