- Designed to compliment an existing Scratch Live setup, Serato Remote will connect seamlessly to your Serato laptop software and work with all supported Scratch Live hardware. Serato Remote lets you see and perform all of your favorite Scratch Live functions without needing to touch your laptop. Control Cue Points, Loops and Samples.
- Nov 02, 2012 As if to reinforce the likelihood of Serato Scratch Live being brought into the fold before too long, the opening view once you plug a controller in swaps ITCH’s horizontal waveforms for a more Serato Scratch Live-esque vertical view. This puts a wealth of waveform information into a large square panel in the centre of the screen.

(I don’t know why Serato and Pioneer tells to iZotope to put only six effects into the software!) So my question is, do you know if Serato-Pioneer are going to incorporate more effects into the software? Because I’m considering two things: firstly, to sell my DDJ-SX and migrate to Traktor (buy a S4 or Z2 but is very very expensive gear) or secondly, to buy the Pioneer RMX-1000 and cross my fingers to that gear fill my needs. So what do you recomend?”
Press the letter Z twice on your keyboard to have the computer midi keyboard in the correct octave range (By default, Ableton Live will be set to C3-D4, while Serato Sample sits on C1-D#2) the cues will now start from the letter A on the keyboard, for 16 sequential pads. Serato Video, the revolutionary plug-in, which enables DJs to manipulate video playback with Serato DJ software Scratch Live and ITCH, is out now. Based on the popular Video-SL plug-in, Serato Video now gives ITCH DJs video mixing tools that Serato Scratch Live DJs have enjoyed for years, with the use of supported ITCH controllers. When using Serato Scratch Live, proprietary Serato Audio Research drivers are used in place of Rane ASIO (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac) drivers. These Rane drivers are used when Scratch Live is not running. The Control Panel for the installed driver is shown above.

Digital DJ Tips says:
The RMX-1000 would not be ideal as it is designed to be plugged into a mixer’s send/return loop, which the DDJ-SX doesn’t have. That means you’d have to plug it across the DDJ-SX’s master output, which limits its flexibility. I’d personally suggest that most audiences don’t really care a massive amount for FX, though, and that Serato has more than enough for most DJs, especially as you can now daisychain its effects – but that’s just my opinion.
If you’re one of those DJs who wants to do more with FX than Serato offers, then you’re right – switching to Traktor is probably your best bet. Just bear in mind that your audience probably doesn’t care as much as you may feel they do.
Over to you: Do you find Serato’s effects limiting? Are you tempted to make the switch the Traktor? Or is what’s provided sufficient? Please share your thoughts in the comments.
