1. the abilty to assign different 10 differnt tracks to the 10 individual rings on the A side of the control vinyl.

2. key lock.

3. auto loop. so if the loop points are off a little bit when you loop on the fly it corrects it dead nuts.

1. Advanced crate management (which includes a right-click menu to link crates to folders, update crate contents when linked, hide/view crates, rename/delete crates, select multiple crates via ctrl-click to view contents of more than one crate in the main window, etc)

2. Improved overview building; like when overwriting a file - prompt to overwrite all overviews, skip overviews already built, overwrite older overviews, viewing the version of overviews built within Scratch Live... was that suggested?

3. Start at first sound detected instead of first cue point (like cdj players do) - or have the option to choose

4. Improved versioning (which includes applying version numbers to shortcuts and executables)

5. Auto-adjusting loops

2. Improved overview building logic as per DeezNotes above.
   2a. Ability to build overviews w/ SL1 attached as per Axledental above.
3. Simple right click functionality ie.
   a. Load to deck (1, 2)
   b. Delete from crate
   c. Delete from library
   d. (re)build overview
   etc.
4. Customizable GUI (full or partial) like fonts, color schemes etc.
    Even if it is just a couple templates to chose from.

Hi there! My personal favorites:
Top3

-Loops in/out
-Bpm analysis
-Master tempo (time stretch pitch)

And then:

-auto gain
-aac, m4a support
-subcrates

SSL is already the best product on the market, but with those features it would be absolutly flawless!

I think that Auto gain and auto BPM is bad cuz both could never be 100% right about every track.
I never saw any BPM counter that is 100% correct.
Auto gain is just dangerous. Maybe a "Gain meter" instead (if your mixer doesn't have it)... :^`

Have the internal mode have "inertia".. when I try to do a backspin in internal mode it stops as soon as I unclick... I would like it to have some intertia similar to a turntable.

I'll give you my top one:

1. Key correction.

That's all I really want. Subcrates would be nice, but key correction is a must. PnT in particular would also be nice but I obviously understand if you guys want to keep that separate or whatever. Key correction please!

Also, why do we need ASIO drivers? Didn't the 1.4 download come with ASIO drivers for the MP4?

ASIO drivers for the SL1 would means you could use the SL1 in any application as a normal soundcard.

1.4 did come with ASIO drivers for the MP4 only.

1.6 will come with ASIO drivers for the TTM57.

The only thing I request is a wider pitch range.....ie. when i set the turntable pitch control at -8% the program would let me change it to -16% or -32%......

i can use my pioneer cdj's to get a wider pitch range, but i bought ssl to use vinyl! and i know i can buy turntables other than technichs, but what if i have to mix somwhere where they only have technichs?

I do alot of "Screwed" mixshows (mixshows where hip hop trax are slowed down anywhere from -16% to -24%).

The way i'm doing it now is extremely time consuming. i have to slow down each song and save it in a separate "screwed" folder.

If the PnT plug takes care of this problem, please tell me how much it costs!!!! i'll be the first in line to buy it!!!

i apologize for the long post.

Two things I can think of to sort it.

Allow you to offset the track start position a few milliseconds.

Or, allow you to blank the first few milliseconds of playback - thus "blanking" over the stutter.

Admittedly, there is no way to remedy the problem, but the above would be two workable hacks to "mask" the problem.

Hmmm, you could try just setting the cue point a beat beforehand and 'muting' with your fader, or alternatively just keep the CD playing in Relative mode and use Serato's cues instead.

I like this idea...basically I'd envision a pitch-range button in the GUI (similar to that on the Pioneer CDJ players) that clicking on would toggle between ranges (the button would have a number displayed on it to indicate the currently-selected range).

What I would especially like is if this feature included a narrower-than-normal range (+/- 4%) so that the turntable pitch slider provided twice the resolution. That would be great for DJ's who ride long mixes and typically don't use large pitch changes.

So maybe the selectable ranges would be 4, 8, 16, 32, 100.

I'm all for enhancements to the UI (as I'm about to write more on in a moment), but spending any development time on something as frivolous as "skins" seems wasteful at this point.

My top 3 requests are going to be a bit different from most people's:

1) Adjust the fonts for song title at the top of the screen so the letters are perhaps 2 points smaller and not in boldface...because as they are they very often over-run the screen in 1024x768. It's the one part of the UI that looks distractingly sketchy to me.

1a) (even nicer would be if the font-size "self-fitted" depending on the length of the titles, but I assume that would consume more time to accomplish.)


2) I would really like it if, with a keystroke, you were able to make the whole interface be replaced with large (full-screen) "Title"/"Artist" text in white letters/black screen (two keystrokes, actually, so you could select which deck to display this for). The reason would be the ability to display this/superimpose this onto the visual displays used in a lot of clubs (the simple nature of the screen I've described would lend itself to easy/clean superimposition over other visuals). Obviously this would need to be engineered in such a way that all functionality of SSL remained active while the display was in one of these modes.

This would be a great way for DJ's to actually promote the music they're playing (especially for those of us who play less-commercial formats of music....my number one reason for people coming to the booth on any given night is "what is this song?"). This is actually something fairly important as, in todays ultra-corporate-controlled media environment, club DJ's are one of the few open venues for people to be exposed to other music.


3) My third most-wanted feature would be to have a single (user-selectable) 24 dB/octave lowpass/highpass filter for each deck. This would be adjustable with the mouse, a pair of up/down keyboard controls (if we haven't run out of them), or....the control vinyl itself (when the deck is playing in internal mode, of course). In that last mode, you'd move the record forward to raise the corner frequency of the filter, backwards to lower it. This probably sounds fairly freaky, but could open up a whole new creative realm of vinyl-controlled audio effect processing. Seems like it's worth a shot, at any rate.

I've changed my mind too
1. customisable shortcuts - some of the current shortcuts are a mess because of all the new features, they can't be changed because there should be continuity between versions, customisable has to be the way to go.

2. Ultra pitch same as on a vestax turntable (adjust the centre point of the pitch fader ±50%).

3. auto looping, linked to bpm, 1 bar/half a bar etc.

1. A new mode : AUT
It could be a mix between ABS and REL :
Plays like ABS (for needle dropping) but when encountering a loop, it could loop (if loop is ON). We could jump to cue points, all like in REL.

2. BPM analyser integrated : SSL knows to draw bars of rythm, it could calculate the BPM. With BPM value, loops could be perfect too.

3. Customizable shortcuts.

Then the theif will call up Rane and say "hey my unit isnt working, what do I do?".

Rane says "Oh just send it to us and well take a look into it:

as a professional dj for over 17 years. i've moved to serato and have been testing the beta 1.5. here are a few suggestions for improvements from my years of experience.

1. a scroll down and up arrow on the right hand side of your library is needed. many djs don't have the hands free time to be scrolling the page down and page up key and its designed to make navigating possibilities easier.

2. this is THE MOST IMPORTANT...when switching in between crates the screen must return to the last highlighted track. when the dj has to scroll down to that track again it takes WAY too much time for the club atmosphere (this has been my biggest complaint from fellow djs). in comparison it would be like popping your dual copy vinyl record up in the crate, taking out one record to play, popping it back down and then trying to locate it again while playing. or getting a cd from your case, closing and trying to re-locate.

3. a shortcut to switch between hiding display of the track playing with independent cotrol of each side for this function. let me clarify. each dj booth is set up differently and people may or may not be able to look at the beautiful Serato display (in fact people are more drawn towards watching what you're doing when they see the laptop), however if you load the next track they see what's coming on next which takes away from the power of the dj knowing and no one else should. it also leads to a lot of crap from couch quarterback djs telling you to select something else :-)

4. the first option in the prepare window should be set up so the order you're loading the tracks in is how the window reads and not by song name or bpm. the dj should be able to instantly move the tracks to whatever order he wants to prepare them to play**. i'm not quite sure if you can already do this. if you can. someone please get me up to par on this.

5. finally an instant set folder should be created or option to begin an instant set folder should be available with time stamp of when the song played. once again i'll clarify. while playing the dj doesn't have time to hit the review, create a folder and look at songs last played or even to quickly scroll through this list in the prepare window, in addition if another dj gets on the wheels he should be able to quickly look at this folder and see this information so that tracks are not repeated.
on point 1 it's the up-down arrows that appear in the far right hand corner of a windows or mac when you have a long list. on Serato you have the bar but not these arrows as an option for scrolling.

on point 5 i'll try and be clearer by describing a hypothetical situation. ok so you've been dj-ing for over two hours and you want to look at what you've played THAT night but you have so many mp3s and you've forgotten to or chose not to clear the green highlighted tracks from your gig the previous night. if you hit the review it will show all these green tracks. i feel that if there was a simpler optional folder "HISTORY" that's located on the left hand side of the Serato display you or another dj giving you a break could quickly jump into this folder and look at the history of songs played those last few hours or days. another example is if you're dj-ing and you're thinking ahead to a few tracks you're planning to play so you place them in prepare. another song pops into your head that you know you've played but you want to know exactly when that was without losing the songs set up in your prepare window when you hit review. basically a history folder similar to windows explorer or mac safari is what i'm talking about that's automatically available with a preference feature that allows you to set a range to look at a few days to a weeks worth of what you've played in these sub folders.

on point four if you hit the nuber column it will line your tracks up in the way you FIRST loaded them into the prepare window. what if you want to place your tracks in a specific order that is not by bpm, song name or number order in which you loaded the tracks into prepare. how do you do this?

I agree that that is a great idea, but I would like it to be highly selectable what you can turn on and off. Sometimes, in a club with shady monitors / no monitors and bad acoustics, I like having the wave forms to double check myself, but the beat match thingy in the middle is no use to me, so the idea would be to turn off the beat matcher and keep the waveforms saving a little CPU power and giving me only what I need.

What's supposed to be the point of that? Changing tempo independently of pitch allows you to beatmatch. Changing tempo and pitch separately allows you to mix harmonically and beat match, but what does this feature possibly offer you?

True true.......but for this vestax thing to change pitch in half/full music note increments, does it not also need to count bpm of the source material (on the vinyl to do the speed calculation correctly? This would be impossibly using control vinyl.

The point of it is for scratch musicians to play melodies with single samples... an extension of what they do now with the pitch slider. You couldn't use a digital algorithm for that as it would screw up the sound of the scratching
The differences between notes are mathmathically relative to each other...halfing a frequency will alway be an octave drop etc. It doesn't work by bpm linking.
I can definitely see how a p'n't style key adjust would be useful, i was just explaining that's not what the Vestax deck does.

I getcha....I didn't think through that bpm/pitch thing enough. It's been awhile since music theory class in HS.

As far as that digital algorithm - I don't think it would screw up scratching. After all, you'll still be able to scratch with PnT and my CDN-88 has key control independently of tempo and that can be changed while scratching. It would just take a A/D converter, a processor and then a D/A converter (or just leave it as a digital out).

Nah, it does, try it on any cd deck or turntable with pitch correction. Scratching is all about hitting different pitches and the algorithm just tries to correct everything. You can still cut, it just sounds crazy as hell.

I honestly haven't had a problem on the CDN-88. Granted, I bought it for harmonic mixing and not for scratching (3 in. wheel), but I haven't noticed a problem.

Pitch range isn't determined by SSL. It depends on the input device's pitch range. So, if your turntables have plus/minus 16 percent, that's what SSL gives you.

Actually in internal mode it does. I think the proof wants "small" pitch range not large. There is the smaller slider if I recall that does fine adjustments.

Also on the train today it hit me..

Why not have a sound card (head phone jack) only, one deck only, no pitch, no features mode when not plugged in to the USB (Stand alone) just for listening to tracks to add cue points and make crates.

@ idlemind1999, u could do what i did.... velcro that puppy (sl1 box) to tha rear of your lappy screen.

note: i though i can easily rip it off from my lappy, until i tried to, so now my sl1 box is PERMANENTLY attached to my lappy. no worries....at least i know it won't grow legs and walk away :)

This would be so handy at the moment I use my desktop to do all mp3 work appart from cues and loopz so I have to keep syncing between the 2 machines via my iPod. If I could do all editing on my desktop I would only have to sync 1 way (pc to laptop) and save on time, energy & frustration :( which = more mixing :)

agreed....

more draw backs are.

2. lappy screen falls back MAX open ( " " " " )

Just to recap on my wish list...


1. CTRL-Click to select more than one file attribute when
browsing (more than one BPM to create a BPM range or a BPM,
Genre or some other thing to create browse results)

2. CuePoint only mode. a crippled, featureless play mode without
hardware (No pitch, headphone jack output only, using
internal mode buttons) so that I can audition tracks and do
cue points on the plane.

3. Use more of the iTunes xml data (play count, last played,
date imported, rating) Not sure if iTunes made this Read only
data or if u can play with it.

4. Make BPMs part of the Overview process

5. Make use of the iTunes compatibility but still have crates
saved as folders with shortcuts in them or something. And
make Serato dump the PartyShuffle and all the other lists
that we dont use.

Ability to connect different songs to the same deck's Cue Point list, just as Pioneer CDJ's can, such as instrumental, acapella, different song, etc., all from the same deck--that's a definite necessity for how many of us DJ here in Atl.

OK I know right now there is an option under setup where it require you use the shift key to use the cue keys but, when I beat juggle I find myself when I get going fast accidentally hitting the F1-8 keys and switching the play mode, instead of hitting the cue I'd like.

Is there anyway I can get this added to serato? so that I have to hit shift to use the F keys?

1. Pitch lock like the CDX not the CDJ, so you can lock it at +3% (or whatever the user wants). On the CDX you can actually change the pitch by the semi-tone. It would be cool if you could put in the +/- value and hit enter and it changes the key immediately. I did this cool mix on a pair of CDx with an acapella over This Is How We Do and changed the melody of the beat using different key settings.... 2 bars normal, 2 bars -5... (yeah it changes the whole beat but it was still tight).

2. Hot cue points that are set and triggered by a key (not the flippin' mouse).

3. Dedicated Loop in/Loop out keys (not the mouse again).

Now that you mention it... YES... as I originally understood it, one of the selling points was that it was, "A Mixtape DJs Dream" because you could record both the A and B mix on seperate files. so they could be layed out in your favorite DAW and edited. I would like very much to do this. But honestly I hate to make complaints. This product absolutely rocks...I feel funny even mentioning it.

I definitely support you on this one. This also could have to do w/ Pro-Tools/Re-wire/Plug-in support stuff.

Maybe it could be a hydrid Abs & Rel mode. For example, lets say you have a song thats 3mins. The 1st downbeat (kick drum for example) could be about 20sec into the track. So then set up a cue point at the 20sec mark. Lets say you don;t have the vinyl offset feature on, and you use the 0:00.00 mark on your record at the start of the song. If you use the cue point and jump to the 20sec mark, effectively 0:00.00 on the record would be 0:20.00 on the song. If you were to 'rewind' the record, it wouldn't play anything before the 20sec mark. Also, if the record jumped, it would act like absolute.

This could be ok as with some songs I always find myself either a) using a wave editor to chop of the beginning that i dont want or b) manually cueing the record, which can get annoying and slow you down on a quick mix

1. Automatic BPM reader that adjusts as you mix.

2. Built in Sampler. Great for DJs who have numerous drops they like to use during their set to let the audience know who is spinning.

-The sampler should be a button somewhere on the screen you press while a track is being played on either deck. Must be independant from the decks. 8 sampling banks should be enough at 15 seconds each bank.

3. Key Lock (Note Lock) Keeps the same note of the song even if sped up or slowed down (prevents chipmunk voice if sped up)

4. Built in effects such as delay, reverb, flanger etc.

5. Some kind of feature that will make all your mp3s the same volume or level so that every song is uniformed.

6. A feature that allows you to (+-50%) a record.

Serato is good because it allows the user to do everything a normal DJ does manually. Auto BPM adjustments aren't neccesary whatsoever.

Sampler, use Triggerfinger or internal mode

Key lock will come out in a program called Pitch n Time which will hopefully be Serato integrated soon.

Effects are included with the 57.

This is your fault, not Serato's. Encode your songs properly and resist getting music from illegal sources.

Use your turntables/CDJs to get a song to +50 pitch.

Thats only partly correct. There is a tag indeed, which is used by SSL (and iTunes for example). Mp3gain itself does not use this tag, it "alters" the mp3stream a "little" (laymans words).

I assume you mean the automatic gain adjustment, this is missing indeed.

Thats a very complicated description for a simple (already implemented) feature

Click outside the search field.

Or

Hit the tab button to get out of the search field and jump to the search results

Or

Hit the "esc" button.

Some features I would like to see are............. Key Lock or PnT, Sync button or beat match button for internal users, right click options, and SUBCRATES!!!!!! In my opinion these features would advance SL to being a well rounded DJ software/hardware program. I'm also very impressed of the boot time of Serato, Click the icon and your "throwing down some hot buisness" in a matter of seconds. Kudos to all involved with the design of this product and also keeping patient with impatient customers. Don't let the cat out of the bag till you've tamed the lion!!!!!!!!!!

Agree with these two for sure. Even though it has been mentioned about 4,676,932 times, I would also like an integrated BPM counter, either one that calculates BPM upon importing and building overviews of songs, or on those songs that are difficult for computers to calculate for whatever reason, a tap option to figure it manually. When you go drop $150 on new tunes, it is a hassle to figure the BPM of all that music and put that info in the id3 tag, especially since the 909 (and its reasonably accurate internal BPM counter) is now in its box ready to be sold.

The P'n'T plug-in is also on my most wanted features list.

Possibly upon pressing the build overview button it creates a folder called corrupt files and moves all files there.

this is for those who wish to determine bpm via audio beat matching to a physical "Metronome / tick-tock-click" sound.

interesting idea... what if you could use 1 turntable to control the pitch of the metronome while you play the song on the other turntable? im guessing it would be easier to adjust the metronome tempo this way

that would be kool cause as you increase the pitch the bpm display would increase and get you on beat.

Maybe this could be geared more for version 3.0.0

We started using a software program call beatharness. It allows you to line-in audio and it detects the beat and does a video show based on BPM. It constantly updates and does all kinds of textures, logos, videos, pics, and layers of all those things at the same time. Also it will take any video live feed, such as your serato screen, or a club cam and incorporate that feed with textures, and effects. We are currently runnng two - four computers including my serato feed to accomplish this. The cool thing is that we get a VGA, RCA, S-Video, RGB on our main computer to send to any projector or TV or Flat screen. But its a very easy to use program and thought it would be kool to be able to attach say a flatscreen to the outside of your coffin and be able to drop live stuff in and make you from a DJ to a DJ-VJ...

in the beta version yes but it seems that the fix is causing problems to other features so it may not be the end of it.

it's hardly basic mate a program realtime manipulation of digital sound source via timecoded controller? Thats never going to be simple.

It may not have effetcs etc... but it does the main thing it's designed for way way better than any other vinyl emulator out there, including CD's.

As for the SL1 being over priced, not when you consider how much it out perfomrs every single other vinyl emulator interface out there also.

You're payign for build quality and reliability, hence Rane's products are generally seen as the ebst out there.

How is SSL overpriced? FinalScratch 2 is $599 at Turntable Lab (for example), versus $539 for SSL. The only thing I think SSL is really missing is key lock—which is coming soon in 1.7.

If you were a Final Scratch user during its early days, you had to pay for each incremental update whether it fixed bugs or added features. SSL does both and they've consistently done that. Ever since I've owned SSL (version 1.1), I've never paid for a software update. I call that a steal.

Not to mention what Monk mentioned above.... Rane is the best quality around. Go buy FS2 if you need more "features." I bet you'll be back in 2 months or less.

I can't stress enough how essential it is to have video mixing. Mixing a DVD, MPEG, etc.. is almost a must in this day and age. The DVDJ can doit, and it only seems logical that Serato should be able to as well. Time Code should be able to make this happen.

Quote:
as a professional dj for over 17 years. i've moved to serato and have been testing the beta 1.5. here are a few suggestions for improvements from my years of experience.

1. a scroll down and up arrow on the right hand side of your library is needed. many djs don't have the hands free time to be scrolling the page down and page up key and its designed to make navigating possibilities easier.

2. this is THE MOST IMPORTANT...when switching in between crates the screen must return to the last highlighted track. when the dj has to scroll down to that track again it takes WAY too much time for the club atmosphere (this has been my biggest complaint from fellow djs). in comparison it would be like popping your dual copy vinyl record up in the crate, taking out one record to play, popping it back down and then trying to locate it again while playing. or getting a cd from your case, closing and trying to re-locate.

3. a shortcut to switch between hiding display of the track playing with independent cotrol of each side for this function. let me clarify. each dj booth is set up differently and people may or may not be able to look at the beautiful Serato display (in fact people are more drawn towards watching what you're doing when they see the laptop), however if you load the next track they see what's coming on next which takes away from the power of the dj knowing and no one else should. it also leads to a lot of crap from couch quarterback djs telling you to select something else :-)

4. the first option in the prepare window should be set up so the order you're loading the tracks in is how the window reads and not by song name or bpm. the dj should be able to instantly move the tracks to whatever order he wants to prepare them to play**. i'm not quite sure if you can already do this. if you can. someone please get me up to par on this.

5. finally an instant set folder should be created or option to begin an instant set folder should be available with time stamp of when the song played. once again i'll clarify. while playing the dj doesn't have time to hit the review, create a folder and look at songs last played or even to quickly scroll through this list in the prepare window, in addition if another dj gets on the wheels he should be able to quickly look at this folder and see this information so that tracks are not repeated.
on point 1 it's the up-down arrows that appear in the far right hand corner of a windows or mac when you have a long list. on Serato you have the bar but not these arrows as an option for scrolling.

on point 5 i'll try and be clearer by describing a hypothetical situation. ok so you've been dj-ing for over two hours and you want to look at what you've played THAT night but you have so many mp3s and you've forgotten to or chose not to clear the green highlighted tracks from your gig the previous night. if you hit the review it will show all these green tracks. i feel that if there was a simpler optional folder "HISTORY" that's located on the left hand side of the Serato display you or another dj giving you a break could quickly jump into this folder and look at the history of songs played those last few hours or days. another example is if you're dj-ing and you're thinking ahead to a few tracks you're planning to play so you place them in prepare. another song pops into your head that you know you've played but you want to know exactly when that was without losing the songs set up in your prepare window when you hit review. basically a history folder similar to windows explorer or mac safari is what i'm talking about that's automatically available with a preference feature that allows you to set a range to look at a few days to a weeks worth of what you've played in these sub folders.

nr3 is exactly what i want, check my stealth mode at Feature Suggestions

True, but you have to remember iTunes music is DRM protected. It will only play in iTunes and nothing but iTunes (and iPods). But non DRM AAC support would be nice.

I use cue points in ABS mode. If I need to get to a certain part of the record, I just needle drop but I use my ears in conjunction with the markers as a replacement for being able to see the change in the grooves of the record (you know... where you can visually usually see the "break" on normal vinyl). I switch between REL and ABS mode all the time, so it depends on what I'm trying to do that determines which mode I'd use.

On a side note... I wonder if Sam and the crew have all the top 3 features they need for testing? I'm kinda sick of seeing the same things posted over and over in this thread.

my top 3 features are:
1. Sub Crates
I have a very large number of crates, i like to really sort my music into different genres, ideas, sets, albums, gig history, where i bought or got the music from, when i got them, etc.... i know i can do this via mp3 tags, but its not really a workaround since it is too cumbersome, and the subcrate way is simply better.

2.Serato remembers play order from different volumes.
I split my music up between the laptop hard drive and my external hard drive, whenever i save a set, it doesn't remember the order because the music is from multiple hard drives, this really sucks.

3.Effects & Midi control
I've been seriously considering converting to traktor 3 recently, simply because their effects and allen & heath filters are superb. not every club has an allen & heath and when you get used to using the filters its hard to use a mixer without them, eq is fine, but the filters are a different ball game. would be nice to have all this in built into serato so no matter where you play you still have all the toys (which would be controllable via midi).

the only thing that's holding me back from going over to traktor 3 is the stabillity issue, but apart from that the software is superior in almost every way, apart from a few inovative things in serato.

do have to say thought that (touch wood) serato is stable as a rock and i put my career on it! so that's why i still use it.

The most important feature is missing... vinyl emulation which sounds like real vinyl. Maybe its just my setup, but it doesnt sound good, esp. if you scratch on it. Or if you release the record then it takes some seconds til the sound catches up without any crackles. Konix might know how to use djdecks properly.

No al4, SSL still stores information like cue-points in the mp3 itself, therefore it still modifies the mp3, unless you make that file read-only. Which is as i said no real solution.

You can test this even without the Box. Just build a overview of a file, close SSL und you will see the size of that mp3 has changed, because it now contains the overview-data.

Soba, for example, there was a bug in Final Scratch which simply trashed .wav (or another file format) files. So sometimes you dont want the files to be altered.

How about ....

In absolute mode, for cd-dj's ....

If you could set a cue point in serato, and if you pause or stop the track on the cd player, serato automatically jumps back to the cue point.

This would eliminate the delay, when cueing with cd's, and also the fraction of the tune that you hear when you start the track again from the cd player.

And if you didn't want to do this, then you just wouldn't use serato to set the cue point, so everyone's happy !!

Surely, provided the cue point on serato, is at the same point as the cue point on the cd player, this would work a treat ?!!

Fingers crossed !!!

I guess more than 95% of the people here that use SSL are pretty cool about the fact, that another company jumped into the vinylemulation-business. Djs using SSL are happy what it can do...

Emulate Vinyl, pretty damn good.

The only thing we know about Torq is that it has many features SSL will have in the future. Nobody knows how stable and reliable Torq is, and i don't think it is ready to battle SSL very soon.

So far i've read 2 opinions of people who tested Torq (not very long). One guy says it has nice features, and seems to be stable. The other one says, he returned it, because it crashed more than 1 time. Great.

Compare that to the number of SSL Djs that are happy and HAVE the proof it works without problems.

That's not going to happen because it would be suicide—it would be like giving the other team your playbook.

Let other companies keep guessing what you're going to do next. Go try out Torq yourself if you really need its features. The only thing I really need now is key control but that's coming soon in 1.7. But I predict you'll come back to Serato for service, the free updates, and ultimately the simplicity and genuine feel of the system. Sames goes for Stanton and Final Scratch.

Before someone posts Hotkey for looping + 4 I'll point out that a keyboard shortcut actually does exist already!

left deck: [ (left bracket)

If you want to jump to and enable the loop at the same time, a la CDJ, add the control key to the mix (or command if you have a Mac). These shortcuts assume you have the shift key pressed or caps lock on.

Correct me if I'm wrong.... I know those keys - but I seem to not be able to load a deck [Shift Arrow] and enable the loop before the loop have gone by. When you reload the deck - it unchecks the loop feature.. tad frustrating.

So perhaps enabling the hotkey should put you to the first loop and start it.

No you can use turntables... in my post above, a la means "in the style of"... if you're familiar with how a CDJ works, hitting the reloop button is the same as jumping to and enabling the loop which you can do using the shortcuts above. Apologies for the confusion.

Kagen—how long is your loop? You should be able to hit shift-arrow then the left bracket key or apostrophe to turn the loop on before it exists. And why would you want to reload the same track? The only reason I can think of is to start from the beginning again if you have that preference set... A more effective way of doing is to use the temp cue to jump back to the beginning of the track (which is set to the beginning unless you change it midtrack).

There are quite a few 80's tracks that I met this issue with, the very first moments of the track are where the loop resides. I have taken on the Shift-Arrow as common practice to reset tracks to the beginning. Then I have to hit the keyboard or the hotkey to enable the loop - I'm clearly past the LOOP now.... How do I get back to th ebeginning and set a loop in a timely fashion? I have to manually backcue the track to initiate the loop, so upon letting go it remains in the loop. Am I doing something wrong?

Your suggestion would make this a matter of typing on the key board.. shift arrow <> cue point 1 <> init loop [ -- notice the spacing on the keyboard and see how cumbersome that sequence is bottom right - top left - top right. Dangerous buttons all around to hit in a dark club.
seems unfortunate that this is how it has to be.

If I understand correctly what you are trying to achieve, Yes, this is wrong. You have to hold down the ctrl-key and then press

left deck: [ (left bracket)
right deck: ' (apostrophe)

This will enable the loop *and* immediately jump to the beginning of the loop

Here's one. Abs/rel/int mode indicators with background colors? For example, make "absoulte" = green, "relative" = yellow, "internal" = red. This will help when using the cds making it visually easier to notice when SSL switches to internal because the disc has run out of time. One extra step make the yellow/relative mode blink or flash when there's less than a minute of time code.

Also, adding a db quick adjustment for gains on tracks not recorded with high input quality. I've tried to adjust in iTunes but it's more pain than bumping my channel gain and freq adjustments, the problem is to return them to nuetral before I mix in the same song on the opposite deck.

What say you SSL?

internal mode buttons) so that I can audition tracks and do
cue points on the plane.

3. Use more of the iTunes xml data (play count, last played,
date imported, rating) Not sure if iTunes made this Read only

4. Make BPMs part of the Overview process

Now i understand we are taking a digital file and sending it digitally through a control box to output an analog signal to my mixer. But lets just look at this. When your playing a regular record on a turntable if you ride the platter or tweak the spindle the % the turntable slows down in my opinion from what my ears tell me is a much lower % than the noticable sound difference when using SSL and the control records. Infact you can watch the amount of BPMS a light touch in SSL can generate up to a 4 BMP change in pitch and then it has to compensate by coming back very fast. If you were to tweak a regular record the same amount i can guaruntee you the regular record would change less and be less noticable. So now i ask you what can be done about this? This is my one and only complaint about SSL. Can it ever be made to respond like "REAL" vinyl or will it always be lost in translation due to the digitalness of it's core function? And to be sure i have tried things like turning drift compensation on/off and have good clean needles and control records and well as a solid signal path. I would say anyone who has DJ'd for atleast a few years i would hope can hear and notice this difference. Please help.

If you are using CV02's then you want to have Drift Compensation OFF. Try to bring your buffer to as low as you can and maybe bring your audio cache to 30 or less and see if that helps.

I would play with the threshold as well. Threshold essentially means how "sensitive" SSL is at responding to small changes—such as scratching as well as what you describe—but at the expensive of picking up more outside noise.

Not sure if this has already been addressed, but I noticed when I was doing some tracks that with CDJs your pitch is like 0.25% your ssl reads either .2 or .3% just wondering if it is really running at .25% or is it running at .2 or .3%

Another small request would be time stamp in the review crate. That way I know what time I played a certain track. If possible a date and time stamp would be even better. Especially for radio peeps which would be handy to know exactly when you previously air'd a track. Thanks

Option to have SERATO not turn songs green until you change the OTHER deck while playing it. I think this is the only way for SERATO to know if you really played the track.


YES! Agreed 100% - it's very annoying if you're trying a couple of tunes and you find they're all added to the log. One of the other programs I've used in the past used to log after 20 seconds or so of continuous play, but this suggestion seems like a MUCH better way of implementing it.

Also, I'm still desparate for lossless audio files. Preferably FLAC, as FLAC is a completely free and open standard.

Master Tempo IS OUT, and IT IS money! The garbling heard is minor (its no CDJ-1000 algorythm) but it does the job and very well for those that have been asking for it. If you are a turntablist I can see how it may not suit their needs OR liking, but a great majority of the public will welcome the feature as it is I am sure.

That's not the point. Their DSP changes/advances have affected the timing of the effects on their DJM-800 and the sound on their MK3 CD player. There is nothing cool about that, and no matter what I run through it, MP3's or normal vinyl, its not doing what we want it to do.

Playback of AAC files. iTunes is the #1 music download source in the world. It is a pain in the neck to have to convert the song from AAC to MP3. You need to burn to CD then re-import. So let's say I only bought one or 2 songs today for a gig tonight, I have to burn a CD for 2 songs. It's a waste of time and money.

This forum is primarily used by folks having problems with the software. I'm sure you can agree Serato has been improving its base steadily, which means the number of people actually having problems increases—and that increases the number of forum users. This can artificially inflate the number of perceived problems. Sorry Menace... I gotta agree with nik here... this has been kicked since the forum's inception. "I'm not going to use xxxx version of SSL because it has too many problems."

I have been using SSL since 1.1 or 1.2 (I don't remember which) and 1.7 is just as usable and stable as anything else previous.

This thread has gone a wee bit off topic.

As to whether 1.7 is any more buggy than previous releases, that's not the impression I'm getting here. The first releases of new versions sometimes have problems that don't show up until lots of people are using it, which is why we work hard to get point-one versions out quickly after. 1.7.1 is out already and it's pretty solid. 1.7.2 is in the works and it'll be even more solid.

If anyone's still having problems with 1.7.1 then let us know in the help area (www.scratchlive.net).

Now, how about those features people want in 1.8, 1.9, etc? That's what this thread is about :)

Not everyone wants to, or is able to, beta test. People don't -have- to beta test and as they've bought the product, they're more than entitled to ask questions when final versions are buggy and/or not working for them.

In saying that ... roll on 1.7.2 beta.

By the way this thread IS about improvements for 1.8, and that's what I'm asking for is a more stable version. It sounds that compatibilty with Mac seems to be more the issue. To bad since Mac builds one of the best computers on the planet.

I'm not tring to stir up trouble but I work in pro audio at a company that is a Serato dealer, and also sell many other types of dj software. What am I to say about Serato if I'm having so many issues. (USB problems)

Re: Stability (Off Topic - back on soon)
I use an Intel Macbook Pro, and unfortunately I have no errors to report in 1.7.1 thus far ("unfortunately" because I consider it part of the "duty" of free update availability - even post-beta - to track-down & find problems to further the stability of the next ver.). Usage: daily basis (maybe one or two days away from SSL, or vinyl-only-days), still nothing so far. Qualifier(s): all versions since 1.5 - all exactly same stability; no differences (one weird issue w/1.6.? with a cue issue ...literally one time so very likely a fluke). (Note: never a beta-test or beta-tester thus far.)


Re: Desired Features (On Topic)

1) Pitch n' Time plugin (hopefully complete with a-c)
...a) Dual-channel real-time pitch (key) shift; Dual-channel real-time tempo-stretch
...b) Key monitor/reporting
...c) As many other features of PnT Pro/LE as are possible/plausible in a live application while avoiding CPU-drain

2) Effects - Echo Flanger Delay Reverb Etc. (yeah yeah, SEEMS trivial, but would love to replace current effects processors with a Rane-Quality product all in one box >> my laptop; also SEEMS very possible - if PnT could be a paid plugin, SEEMS effects could be a plugin I'd be willing to pay for as well; would also just love to see what it does to the rest of the industry if it happened - spooky what all this could turn into)

3) "Stay-Lit" switch/feature to keep OS from utilizing screen-saver/sleep-mode/power-saver-mode only while SSL is running (switchable on/off in "Settings" area)


...hard to come up with more - my paid-for copy and subsequent updates seem to work; and, as the forum area suggests, these are just suggestions. (Will post problems in the help area - still doing my best to find one.)

1. AUTO REVERSE/CENSOR.

Add ANY marker to the track. Highlight like a loop. and it stays there. Once you've set it up you can have the option to turn it on or off. For high school dances b-day parties, weddings etc. This would be an easy featyure as it would only take a few more buttons.

It could even be a good edition for...

if you memorise one CUE point in SERATO (in "relative" mode), you can't use the CUE of the CD player to play from the CUE point start of the SERATO CUE point witch is mémorise in SERATO....because you are in "relative" mode and in this mode, the CUE point of the player make you go from the begining of the song.

I would love to see a "skip" function. Much like the loop function, but acting in the opposite way. For example:

Let's say I want to play the first and third verse of a song, but not the second verse. With the current setup now... when the first verse ends I manually drop the same song at the top of the third verse. With a "skip section" function, I could set the "skip - in" and "skip - out" times once. Next time I played this song the "skip section" would be remembered (much like a loop) and the part of the song that I didn't want to play would be skipped automatically.

I would also like to see an option to remember loop on/off setting. So, from gig to gig, if I always use a particular loop it would already be active when I load the track. The same function would be obviously usefull for the "skip section" too.
At 5:27 PM 1 June 2007
DJ D-Major wrote

instead you could set up a cue point at the place after you want to skip, that's what I do in that case. Then you just don't push it if you don't want to skip ahead.

skip out isn't logical since we have cue points we can set (if you have enough rhythm to push the button on beat that is)

The simplest and most clear example would be simply typing a search term on the SSL search field, such as "Hip-Hop". When I type that all songs that have hip-hop come up, but my 3 search/browse columns do not reflect the genres, Artists, and albums that were part of that search. So pretty much having them there becomes useless.

In iTunes you do the same and the browse section adjusts and shows you all of the genres that have "hip-hop" in them. For example, if you put a comment for a Dance remix of a hip-hop song, I would put "hip-hop" on the comment of that house song or whatever, this allows for that browse section to be useful.

Like if I have a party mainly with Old School heads I am going to end up searching for my [OLS] tag which I put at the end of each genre that is "Ol' school", ya know. Well, the genres browse column does not adjust and this makes it pretty much pointless.

Examples much more specific could be described, but I don't want to go into unless you need me to.

Hopefully you understand what I mean with this post.

Thanks.

These suggestions are for CD DJ in Relative Mode:

A. Disable skip free so we could use the CUE button to reset the track. With this ability we could cue any point to start the track or better work with loops reducing the use of the keyboard

B. Auto assign loops created in the CD player. If I create a loop in my CD player the system should know the time code is repeating and allow me to assign a number to it.

C. How about to edit out some time code out. I have some songs that have bad words I would like to remove. I know we have the censor button but how about a feature that I could simply take out or jump a range of time code.

1) Better sound quality for record manipulation. Serato sounds fine for the most part when just playing records, but any kind of scratching sounds like garbled nonsense to my ears. If you don't hear this I question your ears.

2) More effects for the 57. The hold echo is great, and filters are nice, but

3) The ability to record channels 1 and 2 at the same time, both post-fader. This would be a godsend.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: No BS features. ScratchLive is not some tool to make wedding DJs lives easier - it is a professional DJ tool and should be treated as such, and its features geared towards DJs as artists. Many professional DJs have noted the sound quality issues within ScratchLive, even when using WAV files, and this must be fixed. This means no automixing or video until sound quality, effects, and stability are absolutley rock solid.

If you do implement this feature PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it Optional, ie switchable, Id hate starting a gig, haveing SSL occupied rescanning my disk's due to some minor file changes...


this would be awesome.. and yes the option to "re-scan" when new tracks are added, as you would know when you need to scan.. so it doesnt scan everytime you start SSL.

But here is the catch:

Let the TTM57 controls send midi messages, ESPECIALLY THE FOOT SWITCH! That would mean I could use my 57 and ableton as the Ultimates DJ's dream looping station, all in one box. (When not in SSL obviously)

This would be far superior to the any Loop station mode SSL could implement, and there would be lots of other possibilities too!

That's good, excet for the fact that too many of the similar colors are too hard to differentiate from each other because they're too similar looking.

^That’s the whole point the like colors would make better harmonic mixes. I think once the song is selected and the color is showing on the decks it would be easier to distinguish the colors. But I agree that the small colored dots are hard to see in the library that’s why they need to make the whole line color changeable. It’s especially hard for me at times because I’m slightly color blind and I have never done well on the number dot test. It’s just an idea, I mean add 3 more colors and it’s done.

Another idea I was thinking about was when the pitch is increased on the decks... SSL would then multiply it by 2-3 or 4 etc. This could help by giving a broader pitch range, making past models of Technics more versatile. I have the M5Gs and 16% is great, but as the key lock improves I'll start to wish more and more that I could go further with the pitch.

It boils down to one thing, give users the option to create custom tags! or at least to display them!

There is too many colors already, and they DO get confusing. There is about 6-8 usable colors in there, the rest all looks the same if you don't have them side to side.

But with a column called "Key" we would be all good. We would be able to use colors for other things and "Key" as a separate, sortable column that would solve a lot of people's problems.

BIS, The way I have been doing my key writing is allowing Mixed-In-Key to write to my comments section like this example: (Key – bpm) / (7A - 130.56) so this way when I organize my comments all keys are organized and the bpms are in descending order.

Since there are only 21 colors I used 12 instead, one color for each key (number) example: 7A & 7B would be the same color, if there were 24 color options 7A would get a color and 7B would get a slightly different color.

After I tagged my 12 (numbered) keys w/ 12 colors ~ this did allow me to see a difference. If you organize your library by bpms looking at the colored dots will not be in order and variations in color can be distinguished. Maybe 24 colors would be too much, but I think it might still work, maybe not to distinguish colors, but at least when a song is selected the color of the circle will be the color associated with that key code.

This topic isn’t really a big deal, it’s just to point out that colors coding can save time reading various information. Harmonic mixing can be as simple as mixing like colors.

I guess what I would like to see is an improvment with color tagging by maybe add 3 more colors, making the colors more distinguishable or adding an option that allows song title lines to be color changeable since the dots are hard to see at times.

ekwipt, If we added a key column we would also have to add a way to lock that column as well, so if we were to organize keys the key column could be locked so when we sort bpms the keys would not go out of order, but I think it’s just easier to write the keys to the comments section so when the keys are sorted so are the bpms.

Thanks Blaze.... I'm guessing what we would all prefer would be sort by A column then sort by B? It would be great for say: sort by label then by artist, sort by key then by bpm, etc, etc

The fact that it takes development time away from other features that are by far more important. Serato is already an amazing tool for amateurs who are learning to mix. Fading one track into another for early in a wedding is one thing, maybe be able to adjust the fade in and fade out times, etc, but full-on mixing...?

That's what those *other* programs are made for.

DJ BIS no offense but cmon now there is no intelligent reason against auto bpm in there.

you don't know how much time has gone into auto-bpm already or how long it may take to develop (thats an important part of your argument, programming time).

beatmatching doesn't even take any skill once you learn how to do it! There is no creativity involved in beatmatching at all. it is the one primary thing that computer automation can help DJ's with more than anything else.

spending it on a feature that has so many other fine solutions does not make sense to me

honestly would any client even be able to tell the difference from itunes running with a good smooth fade playlist for example? I doubt it, especially with the mellow food time music

why does it need to BPM blend while everyone is eating or whatever, no one is dancing right?


Also I think it would send the software off into a direction that it was never meant to. It is a vinyl system emulator, a tool for DJs (maybe even SCRATCH DJs in particular). I think sending it off toward being a DJ emulator is the wrong direction.

I don't think that any of those progams do full blown auto mixing (It wouldn't be easy).

If I needed to beatmix, I would do it myself. I do believe that fading one track into another without matching beats is essential for dinner and cocktail hour (during most functions).

to auto mix one song would have to be the master tempo and the other the slave tempo. there could be some bpm snapping and quantization involved.

once you pick where a song is dropped all you can do is make it worse by playing with it (dragging, pushing & pulling, as in when the pitch is not perfectly set) a computer would make it super locked down. no creativity is involved in beatmatching because it can be either done right or done wrong.

its a waste of time to focus on something like that, like mental labor in my opinion.

I have no interest in auto beatmixing, I will always prefer to do it myself. However, some sort of auto fade or gapless playback is needed. I do the occasional event that requires some sort of background music.

And to all the pretentious folks who constantly feel the need to slam those who brought this up, GROW UP! First of all, I assume everyone who is constantly opposing auto anything probably never works in more than one environment, always doing the same style mixing in the same style club. Well, guess what, some of us actually perform in a variety of talents. Second, I am sure there are some amateur DJs on this site posing as professionals who would like software that will do their job so they can fool club owners into stealing our jobs, but I don't think this is what they want. Those of us asking for an auto fade within internal mode aren't without reason. Sometimes I need music to be playing before a large concert, sometimes I'll provide music for a happy hour, sometimes I'm doing a private event that involves a cocktail hour or a dinner, and sometimes I just want to here some tunes when I have company at home. I hate having to set up another program to run a playlist when SSL is aready hooked up anyway. If you enjoy doing your thing in the same style club week after week, keep at it; But stop trying to impress us with your purist greatness and realize that you're not the only person Rane/Serato are going to listen to.

There's ALWAYS ways to add artwork. If you don't want artwork though, just leave it blank. The artwork thumbnail feature isn't meant to replace all the text info, just add to it and provide the much needed aspect of being able to select tracks VISUALLY. Think less pecking away at a keyboard/starring into a screen and MORE time grabbing tracks and creating killer sets like you used to when things were all on vinyl baby!

Hey guys, I just want to make sure that everyone understands and is on the same page when requesting this feature in that "ARTWORK FOR LOADED TRACKS" is only HALF of the graphical approach to selecting tracks by artwork. Having the artwork visible for loaded tracks only doesn't do a whole lot of good if you don't ALSO somehow have the artwork thumbnails next to each track WHILE BROWSING through crates. That's how you get the whole artwork=track association going in your brain (just like selecting tracks by flying through real vinyl in real crates). Dig? ;-)

4. Have scope signal error messages on a key in the set up screen....COS I DONT ALWAYS HAVE MY SSL BOOKLET ON ME!

5. Seamless transitions when playing a mix cd that has been seperated into tracks.

I can't tell you how many tracks I know what sound like based solely on the artwork but have no idea who/what/where/when/why it was made. This would just put RSSL over the top and make for utopian track selection.

Soulsonica is right on the spot. I really NEED to browse covers. Made another mock up that resembles iTunes list view with covers (that saves some screen space for tracks with same cover...)

I was thinking today as I was building some crates that it would be nice to be able to export crates to .m3u playlist or to be able to add highlighted tracks to Windows Media when ctl + o is used.

At this time when ctl + o is used only one track is added to Window Media even if two songs are highlighted. Another option I guess would be to drag a highlited track from SSL to Windows Media's Library where it could then be played or saved as .m3u. Just an idea, please feel free to add or criticize.

Better to support open formats (which is what iTunes supports) than some proprietary, junk format such as Windows Media. At least iTunes give you an option to convert your WM files to AAC or mp3.

instead you could set up a cue point at the place after you want to skip, that's what I do in that case. Then you just don't push it if you don't want to skip ahead.

skip out isn't logical since we have cue points we can set (if you have enough rhythm to push the button on beat that is)


The skip function is logical if you're doing super quick mixes all night. 90% of my gigs are in NYC and quick mixes are a must for the venues I play. I am always trying to keep pace up in my sets so it would be helpful for me. FYI: you can also just press the cue button over and over again instead of using a loop function... but that doesn't mean that the loop function isn't logical, Mr, Spock.

Well man, it is a "pet-peeve" cause Serato happens to be a pretty complex program when you come to it for the first time, its not a fun easy little toy that is plain and straight forward, you know that!

If you read about it and you forgot then that's cool, just read about it again! Lost your manual? Download the web/pdf version!
Or why not even do a search on the forum first? Lazy people, don't get the best of me or many other users in this forum as you can tell. And sometimes the truth hurts, but I am sure you won't be suggesting OLD ideas as NEW features anymore, eh? lol

Do your homework bro, that's all we are trying to say. Have fun SERATO'ing.

I dont like CD players and I dont want to spend money on a new pair of TT with pitch adjustment on it. Plus, not every club I play at has modern equipment. Most NYC clubs seem to have Old Fashion Techniques 1200's. The Pitch adjustment plus all the other features that Serto has right now will help Keep the old school turntables around alot longer.

New feature to be added?

Compare unnamed files to a wave bank the find the missing ID3 the way the INCREDIBLE Foobar does!!!

Other formats like MPC
+ Universal format converter for free

Fast writing matching the Itunes data base
So that when I records an album I don' have to retype 10 times every name, genre...

Doing a bigger Record & Save file Button!

Upgrading seriously the context menus!!

Allowing midi in & out to get external effects and sequencer and samplers and the beat!
Being able to record a whole side of an album (yes 30mn)
and then the soft would propose me the best editing by just detecting the silence between the tunes by a clever noise gate!!! GREAT!!!

Chosing where I record them, I don't want them on C: that means I can't partitionate my internal HD, and can't record my vinyls directly in my external HD!!

Detecting the BPM directly when I record vinyls...

Having a BPM figure that can be 2 different BPMs!!!
Most old tracks are not at 1 BPM, the guitarist would come at 90 then the drummer 93, the chorus 96 the outro 105
Or rockets like 100 to 130 like Jacksons enjoy yourself?

Recording directly in WAV and not in AIFF, is it already possible?
It would allow me to burn cds of my recorded vinyls easier!

Leaving the windows bar at the bottom and Serato in a normal window not a special one that obliges me to press the windows key to recover the sight of the bottom bar!

Adapting a minimalist tempo mixer!! It already time stretches so that one should be easy guys! it would allow us to load a few tracks on each virtual deck and go and chat that beautiful lady over there!

That's my first mail after 2 days recording my vinyls, no mixes yet!

i can never seeing it working with just SSL1,
if you want video just sell your mixer & SSL1 and upgrade to the 57.

I agree, but having less of one desn't "make room" for the others. On the 57 I suppose there could be the equivalent of a "SHIFT" button to enable a second bank of cuepoints. Or they could just leave it to be controlled by a MIDI device.

The modifier key idea is good. It makes me think of those 6-button car radios that can store 12 & 18 presets for FM stations. It doesn't have to be limited to the 57 though (that'd be downright wrong). Keyboard shortcuts can stay 1-5 for the left deck and a modifier key like Alt/Option... that would make 10 cue points. I can even stencil the blue numbers on the KB Cover for my macbook.
At 7:53 PM 17 December 2007
ToneEP wrote

The problem with modifier keys, especially for the cue points, is that ctrl+1,2,3,etc is already used (to set cue points), alt+1,2,3 is already used (for auto loops),and shift+1,2,3 is already used (to trigger cue points). Plus, what would the keyboard shorcuts be for cues 6-10?

However, I like the second bank idea and would solve all the above issues. All you would need is a button around the cue area on the GUI to select bank 1 (cues 1-5) or bank 2 (cues 6-10). All the keyboard shortcuts and modifiers wouldn't be affected and in fact would be the same.

I was reading over my post... theres a word missing on at the beginning of the 57 sentence. "Like..." I meant a modifier LIKE on the 57 (Loop mode to record mode, to deck mode" It doesnt matter where the modifier button is. Could be on the GUI, on the KB, 57, MIDI or something.

Yes.. laptop in internal mode / midi controller..

Seems like they are commng out with alot of midi controllers geared toward torque and tractor etc... serato should have enough options to go that route as well.

I probably wouldn't go that route in the clubs, but would be great option for the occasional mobile gig etc. eliminatig the need for many "pounds" of gear

Would everyone PLEASE stop asking for split cue!!!! Buy a new mixer if you need split cue. I see no way a software split cue could work with a mixer.

Pete, people are asking for Split Cue for the TTM57SL, which is almost completely a digital mixer. Therefor Cue Split is possible in theory.

My bad nik, I always forget that some of you guys have that (no one I know has one). I also didn't realize that any 1500+ dollar mixer on this earth wouldn't have such an obvious feature, but how would you add it to an existing product.

pitch lock! pitch lock!!!

pitch lock is a MUST on any basic dj software!! this is a basic feature that comes pretty much standard on any dj'ing c.d. player you buy it holds the pitch of the voice, when u spped it up or slow it down the voice stays the same pitch.... so it doesnt sound like alvin and the chipmunks or like biggie with a tooth ache(too slow)!! would be like the icing on the cake for this program i'm telling you!!!

1. Record Video like you do your other mixes (that might mean a TTM58)

2. Fix master tempo or Keylock from wavering and being distorted .

3. Add and imports favorites so I don't have keep doing all those clicks
to find folders, will make it faster to find songs.

4. Faster start up time.

5. Make it impossible to auto sync or beat match, if ever asked for via forums
make it so that the program will delete itself off their computer leaving a

Serato: Big Ups to making a product that will carry the same status as the Technics 1200 has for the last 20 years. BUT, For these cats that want features that suppliment real DJ skillzz. FKem. "Auto Beat match" wtf You can make a CD in itunes and Play it. Go to school, pay someone to train you on this craft. They will most likely undercut the real deal because they have not put in the sweat and time in thier craft, so then they don't know the real value of a DJ.

Also for the people that have problems. I bought a Laptop exclusively for serato and thats it. That may fix alot of problems. Do you use your Mixer or turntable for anything else. Now this is a part of hardware in DJing now. I have not experienced not one, And I MEAN NOT ONE problem since converting to serato.
A Gemini Mixer which I will be upgrading to Rane TTM 57SL or Pioneer DJM-909

OK, it's been a while, so time to repeat what I've said before:

1. FLAC or Apple lossless support
2. Don't turn tracks green as soon as they're loaded into a player. I'd rather they didn't change colour at all than have the system we have now. The current system is misleading, as it tells me I've played tracks that I've never played live. I'm looking at alternative software for precisely this reason.
3. Auto-cue to the beginning of the audio in internal and relative mode.

For normal DJing this would not be necessary. It has been discussed before. Just do a quick search.

1.8 actually does create a BPM with decimals, just click on the BPM of the song and you will see the decimals.

A way to move the start and end position of a loop/cue with a midi assignable rotarty or slider

A way to scroll through the loop numbers rather than using the left right buttons on either side

Transifier to be able to be assigned to a rotary and slider, and to be able to move to a shorter or longer loop length with the one slider/rotary

A way to be able to move from one bpm loop to another with a slider/rotary, for example 1-2-4-8-4-2-1-1/2-1/4 etc.

I thought this was a feature suggestion post not a justify to everyone why you want that feature. I agree accuracy is not such an issue at say 133 bpm but at 55 bpm it makes a big difference. you pitch up or down just 1 bpm on a faster record and you don't notice, do it on a slower record and you here a major difference. 54.5 bpm an 55.0 bpm both read 55 bpm so when doing acapella and instrumental mashups doesn't always sound as tight as it could without extra on the fly correction. i have always done my bpm's that way and would like to see it in serato. if you don't want to do it that way then don't.
To pitch up a 55bpm up 1 bpm is about 2% on my pitch control
To pitch up a 133bpm up 1 bpm is about 0.5% on my pitch control

ALWAYS? Even Befor they made digital BPM couters that TOLD you the BPM to 2 decimal places? Kinda hard to get to 2 decimal places using a stop watch like alot of us learned to use to use just to mark our vinyl.... let alone having something tell us what the BPM was exactly while the record is playing. as for have a track that is 54.5 and 55 bpm and mixing them... well if you treat the BPM as a REFERENCE ONLY (B/C I have not found ANY BPM counter thats COMPLEATLY right all the time) you can then you know that you are going to have to change them to match, wich BTW should realy only take you a few seconds to do.

For your information, as human reaction speed is 0.2 seconds, it isn't that difficult to work out. Why do i have to explain this? I've done this for 20 years & all my mixes are tight.

BUT my point is that you still cannot be ACCURATE with a stop watch (and dont try to argue that you can be DEAD on with one b/c you cant no matter how much you try) AND as for programs doing BPM's for you..... I have tried several diff BPM programs and EACH one gave me a DIFF BPM when it got down to the decimal places. THats why they are not really that helpful to have it displayed that low. AND its much less cluttered on thd browser area without them there. As for the spelling comment.....

BTW..... this has already been discussed in a few well heated threads and MOST of the guys in those threads were dead against it. As for the if you dont want it dont use it... well SSL uses the 2 decimal places for the looping stuff and I would be all for it if they put it in as a setting that you can change toshow how ever many places you want But just showing it no matter what IMHO would not be what alot of the guys on here have said they want... and a few people even omplain for a while when one of the beta versions arainged by BPM to 2 decimal places but didnt show them b/c it caused the songs to go out of alphabetical order within the bpms.

Hey don't make me look like the bad guy!

And plus, I got you, I got you. No need to say it twice... :)

Just know that this IS a very old subject which I don't know why i am here still talking for. SSL users requested this for a long time and finally Serato delivered, then they changed the display so that the 2 decimals would still be there if you click on the BPM.

The good thing is that I don't have that many 55BPM tracks to mix, otherwise I guess I would be screwed, eh?

No, seriously. Regardless of whether you are using the automated BPM finder on ANY software or you are clicking your space bar to get a BPM... it's not going to be RIGHT on the money (I don't think). So all that fuzzin' for BPM's that are useless at that accuracy level...

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!1111!!11!!!
+10000000000

I HAVE RUN THE SAME TRACK MUTIPLE TIME IN THE SAME PROGRAM AND EACH TIME IT GIVES ME SOMEHING DIFF. one time it would give me a bpm of 98.01, next time it would give me 98.74, next time 98.39. And ifthey qare tracks with a LIVE drummer.. then you can throw the decimals compleatly out b/c a live drummer will NEVER stay at the EXACT same speed the whole song, most very at around +/- 1-2bpm from start to finish (that does not take into account how many times he varies during the song... thats just start bpm and end bpm)

I would never dream of trying to bpm a live track anything further than for a guide. I think all THREE of you miss the point completely.

That feature is something completely different. It's appropriate to reset the list after a gig. It's not designed to be done constantly mid-gig to fix a problem that, IMO, shouldn't exist in the first place.

Quote:

That's a waste of time. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to explicitly unload tracks when what I actually want to do is just load an alternative track. Other software is intelligent enough to log track usage correctly - Serato still isn't.

As I said, I do not want to jump through hoops to avoid getting inaccurate information about what I've played. If Serato aren't going to make the tracking intelligent, at least give us a way to PERMANENTLY turn the damn thing off.

Ideally, what we really want is a system that gives us choices:

1. The current system.
2. Turn the system off completely.
3. Turn tracks green only after we've played the track for more than 30 seconds or so.
4. Turn the tracks green only when we change the track in the other player.

Unfortunately, implementing those options takes work, hence my request to at least be able to disable what we have. In the meantime, my search for alternative software continues.

Pete, you're missing the point.

CTRL-Z is a duct tape quick-fix for a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. It's treating the symptoms and not the cause. It's something I CONSTANTLY forget to do when I'm busy trying to pick the next tune. And fundamentally, it's me having to constantly tell the Serato software that WHAT IT IS DOING IS WRONG. It's telling me that I've played a track that I HAVEN'T PLAYED. The software is making incorrect assumptions, and instead of being able to simply tell it not to make that assumption in the first place, it keeps making those incorrect assumptions. And I have to keep correcting it it. EVERY DAMN TIME. It gets old, very quickly.

I use the SL1, so I can't expect my software to know what I've actually played with the volume pot up on th emixer; or what I was just listening to in cue. I find ctrl+z extremely easy and almost second nature. I suppose if you're using the TTM57, you might have a justifiable complaint, although I don't know how intelligent the volume section is on it since I don't have it.

Artwork. . . Artwork. . . Artwork! Even for wav files!! Please??

A built in function in SSL that allow you to add artwork to wavs and mp3 from inside the program and a better display for it. This would help when browsing through your records. Also, when you browse through mp3s, it takes a second or so for the artwork to appear. Can this be quicker please?

Also, just like itch, it would be better to have smaller decks and info, more info for browsing and artwork.

Ben - The WAV and AIFF specs have very limited metatag abilities, so adding artwork to these formats would probably require some sort of external artwork folder. I suspect it would be a pain both for Serato to program and for users to deal with, especially when moving tracks between drives, etc.

I also want better artwork capabilities (see: scratchlive.net), but a better solution for extremely high quality audio (which I also want) would be support for the FLAC and/or ALAC which have better metatag capabilities than AIFF/WAV.

I like your ideas for in-program artwork addition and faster artwork display!

There's nothing like going through your records knowing what your picking out just from what's written across the top or the picture on it.

you can record using the 57 mixer, or you cna use a separate program, run and output from your mixer to your line-in on your computer and record that way, b/c the SL1 has no way to record your mix b/cyou are using an external mixer that it has no DATA comms with to record the mix, BUT the 57 does so thats why the 57 can but the SL1 cant. But like i said its easy to use a separate program (like audacity) and the line in connection on your computer and record that way.

as for #4.. If you build the overviews with the box disconnected you can set the range to make it right.

Its like that for almost every BPM analyzer i have ever used. the BPM analyzer in SSL is one of the best around IMHO.

That would be real nice, and Id like to be able to quickly switch internally in SSL, what channel those samples go to.

Right now I'm working around this using 1 track file with 5 cue points, running internal mode and triggering those by Midi.

I propose the following change to the review-ability for Serato

Currently there is only 1 color (green) to indicate that the track 'has been played before in the past'

I suggest a 2 color system to differentiate whether the track has been played before or after a certain date.
I.e. differentiate between "what did I play on my last set" and "what I have I played 'ever'". This 'cut-off' date should also be alterable if desired.

I think the option to even 'save' the playlist at the end of the night and export it to some XML or TXT format would be great to share with other DJ's or to keep for refference. Perhaps it's also possible to keep a link (refreshable) to the file so that if you load up an old playlist, you can simply "re-play" the same playlist again by selecting the song in the playlist and dropping it into the deck (for DJ's with a little brain blockage) instead of searching for the songs through your files.

Look for the GlobalFX sampler developed by DJ Knocks. People are loving it and its probably going to be the only viable option to your request.

PS: I am still not understanding what is not precise and musical about pressing the IN point of a loop. I mean you gotta be on time. Are you using a monitor and a headphone? Because if you are trying to hit the IN and OUT loops by looking at the screen you may not be able to catch it fast enough or consistently enough.
I have had very good experience with looping accuracy. But then again I do have a powerful notebook that acts fairly fast at high buffer settings...

and click the exit point as close to right before the first 1 after my loop
but the point is
real samplers have various looping editing systems that allow you to magnify your wave and relly spot exactly your marker, allowing you to avoid troubles with non regular 70's drummers that still groove as hell!-)
just a good loop is not that simple to do when you're a musician and not a just a dj...

DJ Tom B. (Booty Shakers) wrote

well, if you are looping say a Funk track with a live drummer and he/she speeds up or slows down a bit during the course of your loop, you can't do anything about that. The loop is correct if you drop the IN and OUT points where you want them.

SSL will even try to adjust loops sometimes to be more accurate so that they sound good, even if you mess up an on-the-fly IN LOOP point or something. I think what you are talking about with the 70's drummers can only be addressed by quantizing on a production program or live on a program like ABLETON LIVE???

Have you tried using the + & - buttons to zoom in or out of your waveform?
dropping a cue point or a loop point does not require you to be fully zoomed into the waveform though.

But again, I don't think that this is a problem with SSL.
Some users that use CD players connected with SSL may have trouble that's why using the keyboard directly for command input in SSL is essential I think.

Perhaps it's also possible to keep a link (refreshable) to the file so that if you load up an old playlist, you can simply "re-play" the same playlist again by selecting the song in the playlist and dropping it into the deck (for DJ's with a little brain blockage) instead of searching for the songs through your files.


+ 1

i am sure that can be done easily with a little code

Cos its sumtimes really hard when u r DJ 5 nights in a row and get tired rushin from coast to coast :)

"for DJ's with a little brain blockage" LUV it BTW :)

I would just like to be able to copy text from the entire ALL Crate so i could then paste it into the Word Processor of my choice to make a list of my entire library.

I Don't understand why the Auto BPM needs to have preset ranges that i have to go back and check after building new overviews for new tracks. (probably has been brought up before)

If I am not mistaken, the bpm range helps with accuracy. By defining a smaller range the more accurate SSL can be. To find the bpm SSL is sort of making a guess. The less numbers you are guessing from the better chance you have of being correct. Something like that.

This is a new request I have put in the suggestions forum:

scratchlive.net

"I saw another DJ program which has this feature, right next to the normal search feature it has a second "exclude" search field which allows to exclude any terms from your normal search results on the fly.

You can use either one alone or both at the same time and the result is much faster music finds which are most of the time the thing that DJ's with large libraries need!

This probably was suggested before but I could not find it anywhere on the forum."

+ icon for files without overview

+ option to hide the beat indicator between the waveforms

Not so easy but would be good to have
+ configurable font size
+ codecs (flac, m4a...)
+ artwork in separate files, not only embedded in the track files (please please)
+ "get rid of that crunchy noise at the beginning of vinyls. *crunch*"
+ more aggressive track-end warning

Just cool
+ album artwork with the virtual TT
+ option to show the artworks in the track list
+ SL1 WDM driver
+ www.metalfacerecords.net

Unlikely
+ 4 decks with 2 SL1s (will be great in a few years when QXGA screens are wideky available ^^')

Dream
+ filters! a MIDI-controlled emulation of an Electrix EQ Killer per voice would be great, and why not various types of filters... And unlike reverbs etc. filters are OK pre-fader.

A few things I'd rather not have in SSL
- pitch shift/multiplier
- EQ parameters in each track
- coverflow
KEEP IT SIMPLE!

OK, yes, for the pedantic, that's true. However, for the vast majority of us, it's a hell of a lot closer than the current system, which will flag tracks that were loaded but never played.

I know for a fact that for me, if they use the "after loading the other deck" system, it'll always be 100% accurate.

Indicate the total run time of tracks in a crate.

A really neat thing would be to have a setting where the user can define how long the crossfade between tracks would be eg 32 beats. Then based on the BPM and length of track Scratch could estimate the total play time.

This'd be great for throwing together a quick selection before a gig.

TTM57 as a VSTi (Cubase VST Instrument). When on, it would record all channels constantly and all manipulation (faders, knobs etc.).

After recording you had two tracks with your audio files from deck 1&2 separately, and if you made a mistake you could correct it in cubase (for example this mix you messed up because you pushed the XF too late, just fix it in cubase).

How about that?

This would be a good function to help separate music and view only the music of interest of the audience I'm catering towards.

2. Crate update similar to MediaMonkey 'Add/Rescan Tracks to Library': I would like a 'add folders' option under SL Library Setup where the program checks those specific folders listed for music updates at program startup. Those folders/sub-folders and files should be replicated in the crate view of SL.

This function would eliminate the hassle of manually updating crates in SL.

You gotta be kidding...

First of all, stop listening to what people are telling you, it will open up time to use waveforms in a way that will take your sets BEYOND what you do now.

Second, I am for modular ANYTHING. Definitely, but why anybody would want to remove a well designed feature that aids new and seasoned DJ's is beyond me... if its just for the sake of removing it. If it means removing it to replace it with say "video monitors" for VIDEO-SSL then absolutely...

Don't worry about people say, just use the tools available to take your sound beyond. get creative!

DJ BIS, I have been djing for over 20 years and I am very creative when I dj, this still doesn't stop the fact that the waveforms are useless to many people.

To me, I think they are a waist because I don't look at them other than to see if there are drops in songs that I am not familiar with yet and they take take up cpu power that causes your laptop to get a little hotter which is worse for the laptop, and last, like you said, it would make more room up top so we have have the vsl video monitors up there or the 57sl hardware buttons up there so more of your music library can be shown.

ie. Pink's - So What is 126 when SSL says it's 95. I try and put in 126 and SSL always puts it back to 95. For video files.

Currently there is only 1 color (green) to indicate that the track 'has been played before in the past'

I suggest a 2 color system to differentiate whether the track has been played before or after a certain date.
I.e. differentiate between "what did I play on my last set" and "what I have I played 'ever'". This 'cut-off' date should also be alterable if desired.

I think the option to even 'save' the playlist at the end of the night and export it to some XML or TXT format would be great

3. a tool that helps us with large libraries ( 2 tb audio, 2 tb video) to just manage them better. For Instance; in my case be it audio or video I have doubles, triples, and in audio like 15 of the same song. How about design a tool that helps me go through this and helps me figure out which one i would like to save as it is the best version. take into account everything from sampling rate, to ones with existing cue points, to size of wave forms, get rid of corrupt files etc.
4. Video clip Sampler- ie one that would hold my dj logo and allow me to drop it over existing video output.
5. Text support- ie. pioneer 5000 mixer example allow me to type in Happy birthday ____ or drinks $5 for next few minutes, etc.
6. sync video/ audio effects- ie pioneer 5000 mixer. make it an option in set up screen, and say echo do that to video as well, say filter filter out the light of the image etc.

even if I had to buy 2 brand new MAcbook pros to run such a thing I would do it lol. Ie
Computer 1 runs channels 1 and 4 and computer 2 runs channels 2 and 3. Cross fader controls channel 1 and 42 and 3 are post fader.

just also use the Denon Dnx 1500s as a guide as well with the sampler and mic section 2 3 band eq's per mic channel.

Computer 1 controls video, and computer 2 controls the effects. that way it would not overwhelm the processing power of one computer.

OK, here's my latest list of features I'd like to see in SSL. Some I've mentioned already, others are new features I'd like to see now that I use internal mode with CDJ 400s.

1. An option to automatically stop playing a track if I'm in internal mode and the end of the track is reached. Alternatively, even if deck protection is switched on, allow me to load a track to a deck that has played past the end of the track.

2. For [EXPLICATIVE]'s sake, stop changing the [EXPLICATIVE] track colour when I haven't played the [EXPLICATIVE] track. Rant over.

3. Sort out the CUE behaviour on the CDJ-400. Looks like you guys might already be on top of this one, but just in case, see www.scratchlive.net

4. Auto Cue. If I load a track in internal or relative mode and it starts with silence, can we please have an option to set an automatic temporary cue point at the start of the audio?

5. The ability to sort the record case by more than one field. I'm tired of having to keep a second copy of all my MP3s to use with SSL with minimal tags to stop my collection being sorted by album and track number. When I'm looking for a track, I don't care about album or track number, I just want to sort by artist and title.

FLAC support would be nice, but 2, 3 and 5 are far more important to me than additional codec support at this particular moment in time.

1. in internal mode nothing will happen if the currently playing track has reached the end. There is an "auto" button which will play automatically the next track from a playlist/crate.

3. SSL 1.8.2 has native support for the CDJ-400. No Cue problemsanymore.

Re: 1 - Somebody has missed the point. If I have deck protection enabled (so I can't accidentally load something in to the playing deck), when the track ends, the player keeps playing, so I actually have to stop the player manually (even though the track has ended) before I can load another tune into the player. That's annoying, especially when combined with problem #3.

Re: 3 - You've not read the other thread, have you? The problem is NOTHING to do with time code, and EVERYTHING to do with the native implementation.

There are some other suggestions which have been made by others earlier in the thread which i think would be nice features. Thumb nails, better organisation of crates etc.

However requests for things like: Auto Pitch/Sync are a joke. Hang up your headphones, give it up! Sounds like you need to hire a real DJ or maybe you should simply buy some mixed cds. I know lets just automate the whole process!!! (Muppets!!)
I remember the days when DJing required skill and Producers made their own sounds!

That doesnt mean everyone who uses Serato has no skill before i get flamed for my comments.

This whole post is confusing. Some of us are trying to change things way to fast. You get what you get and you dont get upset. Its not 2020 yet, slow down. I am with the guy who ranks on the guy who wants the whole thing automated. Are you a DJ or not, go get Atomixmp3 LOSER.

Heres a list of things that do not seem to hard to change. These improvements will give Serato more play at the bar. Wheather the DJ is there or just a manager playing songs during the day.

Early during my "night opener" portion of the night, I usually rock iTunes. WHY, because it crossfades the songs. Dead stops and DJ's dont mix. Simple fix. Under internal mode we have the auto button..............place a crossfade option there with like iTunes has option for between 1 and 12 seconds.

I would also love to see a MAT for PC like the one you have for MAC

We need something that gets our corrupt files out of the system. I hate when I drop the track and it locks my machine.

Ability to make the wave visual bigger, I have crap vision another 2 inches would be great.

Theres more but my mind works better when im in the booth. Ill post more soon..

my suggestion: prefade and pre-EQ recording of both channels, and the mixer as a VSTi in Cubase (or other SW). So you can edit the mix after recording it and fix stupid mistakes (for example if you forgot to add some treble to a song). I'd even pay extra for this feature.

possibly a software that lets you link songs together(sound wise) so when you put a track on one table or disk you get a list of tracks that you have link to having the same sound or can go together well with the song you just played. would help with improv spinning instead of a setlist.
also possible marks with the ability for text so you can mark on the track(would show up on the full song waveform)where 2 8 counts before the chorus is ect.

or they claim they have "an ear" when they really don't harmonically train wrecking one song into another which bugs the shit out of me.

I'm all for keying tracks... it helps you make a quick decision about to play next and it confirm or deny your own intuition. I sort by the grouping tag (which is what I use to key). I don't use Mixed in Key—I key all the tracks I play via keyboard—but if it makes more DJs not clash like tonedeaf idiots, that's a win win for everyone. Eventually you learn this stuff by ear anyway and can identify songs correctly that aren't keyed.

ok what the hell does me asking for lil effects have to do with my views,my opinions with a software that lets u plan your set before the gig.think before you start bashing. its my choice to hate mixed in keys/rapid evolution,. serato does not make mixing easy ,cuz if you still dont know how to dj you wont get anywhere with scratch live. what i was trying to say was that if your gonna need to use rapid/ mixed in keys as least learn how to dj., because imo once a f-ing gain imo if you start using that and claim to be a dj then you havent learned crap. to quote spin this "you learn the stuff by ear" this was not meant to be a pissin match as you said but if people cant have contructive critisim and share their thoughts then whats the use

Easy now, having MIK or RE analyzing your music does not mean you have to follow the Camelot wheel like a drunken sailor heading for the whorehouse!

I never suggested not training your ears! Tagging tracks with keys as a preparation of a set, should be a good thing no? Even though you know the key of a song, does not mean you have to play all night like a continuos single song.

And yes, having a software trying to guess the key can be considered "cheating". But as we all know, these programs has quite a bit of an error rate anyway. I don't think dj's using these apps are more cheats than a musician using a metronome...

Do you manually tap all your bpm's? Didn't think so. As bpm's are far more critical, I'd say that having software calculate those is even more "cheating".

Quote:

Let's face it, all digital dj'ing (both DVS systems & CDJs) is far easier than regular vinyl only. SSL is closer to the original vinyl experience than its competition, but still its digital.

I don't think they should build key detection like MIK/RE into SSL, but I do think these apps are "legitimate" for any DJ to take advantage from.


Now for the next version of SSL id like to see:
1. Cover artwork in the Library -> scratchlive.net
2. A working link with iTunes -> scratchlive.net

Instead of Key match i meant more of a try set list. you make your own links to songs. so when one goes on a deck one two or three more more songs will show up that you have linked to that song. would make mixes more on the spot and the same time not having to search vastly though the song list. not in key but just songs that go together either key, bpm, or chord progression, ect.

OK first of all thank you for the ability to increase the font size in 1.8.2 big help for me i really appreciate that!!

OK My suggestions for 1.9

1. A CD Ripper with cddb capabilities all in one with the ability to put BPM in if known if you all know what i mean like the original PCDJ Red lol.

2. And this is just selfish for me and the rest of the guys that do Radio here ... a sampler for drops and station id's etc i know i know its been said but damn its time serato lololol!!!!!

3. Again this is selfish for me and the rest of the radio guys the ability to import my playlist to a word doc or whatever cause we all know Mediabase doesnt pick up all the songs right guys and to solve the green text problem..just add code that changes the text to green after say 45-50 seconds that seems like it would solve everything no?

4. I love that when you edit the artist in serato it edits it right on the mp3 tag itself and changes it right in my external!! ..can we do this with the title of the song as well is that doable?

I would LOVE to see the ability to change the skin on the SSL screen. The standard grey, black, and burnt orange has been the signature of SSL. Let's change it. Maybe we could change the colors of the background or the text, etc. Maybe even add images as a background instead of black. LOL. I don't know, just a suggestion. I think it'll be cool. Like a customizable SSL virtual screen.

iTunes & Crates integration so using iTunes playlists on others laptops is easier to set up.

I think a feature within serato that reads itunes playlists and converts automatically to crates each time you open would be ideal.

This would mean backing up your music/crates on an external hard drive would be so easy and could just plug into someone elses laptop with EASE. . .

2/ .mp2 file suffix support on import
explained: I (and some others) don't use .mp3 files - Some of us use .mp2 files @ 384k cause they have tag support and sound far better than 320k mp3. These mp2 files already work with serato (and other digital dj software), but I have to keep renaming files from .mp2 to .mp3 just so SSL can import them.

3/ Automatic Crossfade and Play/Shuffle by Crate in Internal mode
explained: At a gig you might want or need to run background music or start a set so you can (go to the bar/toilet/chill) SSL should be able to automatically select songs in order - or by shuffle - within the currently selected crate - and then crossfade them on the fly ***at a point where the audio level drops below a specified -db level*** within the last 15 or so seconds of a track. (See Winamp SQR Crossfade plugin as a point of perfect reference).

1. 3rd "virtual video deck" to run a visualizer, logo section (up to 3 logos or 5) and possibly text support only option
it as an on off thing with a virtual fader (can be midi assigned)

Ok imagine the Video tab.
you have two "virtual video decks" with a main mix preview deck in the middle. to the right of the right "virtual video deck you have the legend or setup screen and to the right of that grey space. I propose to change the grey space. Ok imagine now a 4th screen to the right of the "right virtual visual deck" then the legend or setup and now "visualizer, logo section, text support.
(I CAN FURTHER EXPLAIN THIS IN GREAT DETAIL AS I HAVE IT DRAWN UP UPON REQUEST.)

2. link sp-6 to video clips ie ur in the mix with xxx has a little visual jingle as well.
My new friend Eloy has this jingle (drop) that has a bomb going off then Dj Eloy and basically it has a video counterpart. He can use the audio in the SP-6 sampler however cannot use the video part unless it is loaded into a virtual deck... I propose a TTM 57sl/ Midi activated Sample player that will not only activate audio samples but a video clip as well.

3. audio/ video linked effects.
Basically idea for echo... freeze desired effect and then repeat it at specified time beat (based on audio parameter) and then with each "echo" either lighten or darken the image.

idea for flanger... as flanger gets higher and higher brighten up the main output and wen it gets full bright say have it strobe or something... u get the idea lmao.

also please simplify the audio effect section of the TTM 57sl please lol. PRETTY PLEASE WIH A CHERRY ON FUCKING TOP LOLOLOL!!!

4. Cd+ g support

Please don't throw oranges at me. As of right now I don't do karoake but I certainly intend to start. It would aid to a large number of more bookings and well in turn higher pay per booking more profits... is it really such a crime to make more money? Help a new comer out lmao.

5. audio/ video splice feature (think poison video, or even mo money mo problems)

Ok if anyone has watched the poison video between the famous intro didididdidiididid dah 3 time s it has a 20 second bs clip of no music before the verse words and beat drop back in i propose a "splice of audio/ video" so i don't have to pre edit

also has two parts in mo money mo problems where the same happens lol

PLEASE HELP!

6. and if at all possible like live feed an input from say an external source say a video camera or a dvd with a photo montage etc.
hey it would definitely be cool to be able to play my swet 16 wedding montages without need of any external hardware and well the camera and live feed was a little bit over the top lmao.

7. hd support-
high definition would be sick lol.

8. more codecs and video formats able to be used in the VSL program.
mostly just karoaoke and HD formats

9. video set recording (both audio and video being saved)
would be very cool once again.

Speaking of too taxing I relly think an apple macpro (desktop) with dual 3.2 ghz processors and 32 gb of ram might still have a hard time working with this system lol...

i had a few general serato things that could be included in like serato 2.0 or 2.1

1. Simplified TTM 57sl audio effects- sure it is a novel concept to be able to control 100% of each perameter and if I was maybe a little more professional I could master them like Konix or other real deal users did but hey can u help a new comer out.

2. Sampler- let the SP-6 sampler be controlled by Serato TTM 57sl b1- b6 make it like group 7 lol or while the sampler tab is open there is a check box that says use 57 controls.

2. The ability to re-map buttons on the CDJ-400. I'd like to be able to configure the CUE button to just return to a CUE point, not play from it. Likewise, I'd like to do the same thing with the CALL button. Right now, both buttons cause a split second blip of audio if you press them to return to a CUE point and you have the fader up. That's unacceptable in my eyes.

Browser Preview function

I really want a better way to preview songs in my headphones. I have a library with music from allover the world and they are often sung in different languages. It could be hard to remember a track title if they are in Portugeese, Arabic, Spanish etc. You also have different remixes of a track and you quick want to find that special version. An improved preview function that’s allows me to preview songs in my headphones before loading them into a deck would speed up that process. This could be done from the browser by clicking on a preview icon.

I'd Like to see in the new version

1) with the 6 samplers. Put the same feature as the 2 main decks left and right and importantly to be able to monitor each sampler individually too. So they become like decks.

2) I like what one guy's idea wrote about being capable of using 2 separate loops at the same time.
One thing that i'll add to this great idea is that if you do it, make sure you can monitor the loops so you can listen first if thats the position on the track that you want while the track is playing out. It would be amazing to fly between different loops while the track is still pumping out. Also even better, if there was a possibility that you can have dozens of loops you can make at the same time and be monitored firstly.

3) The sound quality could be improved with the 16-bit / 44.1 kHz sample rate Rane SL 1.

or is there a better quality one that is out that someone can recommend that works with Serato?


Best regards. Thanks.

If I may offer a quick tip:

Try using CUE point color tags to identify parts of the song or specific actions.
Cue "notes" based on color could look like this:

ORANGE CUE: song intro.
RED CUE: Verse.
YELLOW CUE: chorus.

Etc.

More cue points WOULD be beneficial, IMO.

2. proper handling of diacritical signs: currently "Royk" finds "Røyksopp" but "Motor" doesn't find "Motörhead"; very bad: in the crates diacritical signs are all sortet after "z" - inacceptable!

3. when changing the sort criteria or (partly) clearing the search field, keep the currently selected song in the visible area (e. g. in the center) of the track list

1. Split the software in two : one for mixing (without analyze waveforms function) and another for preparing songs "offline". The latter would provide following functions :
a. Analyze waveforms and compute bpm ;
b. Option : "Platinum Notes" function. This would require to create a new file or optionnaly replace the original one.
c. "Mixed in Key" function. The color tag may be automatically filled with camelot wheel color of the track's key. When playing a song in a crate with key info available, highlight tracks in the same crate corresponding to a keycode within one "hour" of the current keycode, to suggest harmonic mixing.

2. Sampler size should be customizable, as it's done in NI Battery. Sampler feature is very cool, but 6 pad is too little.

3. Option : Sum sampler output and SSL mono mic out.

4. Increased max subcrates number.

some suggestions:

-search multiple crates (pressing strg button)

-higher zoom resolution in waveform (for loops fuckin important)

-export audio option for loops (makin loops in serato is really nice and fast - if reso is higher- and exporting them for ableton, etc. would be dope

-what about a pop up effect (zoom) of the player when performin to have a better view on things-browser takes too much place and when you´re back for searchin the crates it pops back to the normal view

-create a new new interface and go 24 bit and make it usable as normal audio interface like traktor. Make 8 ins and 8 outs add midi in/out(would be nice to send the bpm´s to efx like pioneer 500/1000-bpms have to be more accurate for this), digital out, etc. , because the actual interface sucks and for a marketleader´s piece too simple.

-key mixing option could be added but in my opinion its whack because its one more criteria like bpm and the key says nothing about the amtosphere of the track but for all you suckas out there who don´t have ideas for your mixing go ahead. Also think this way about sync.

-what about an option like building bridges... for example when the track reaches a cue point it automatically goes to another cue point or loop-like makin your own edits for the tracks without goin to sequencers and arrangin it there. You could also say how often loops should play and then playin the next one (like in ni kontakt)

-would be also nice to switch between players and sampler to cut up a sample like with input reverse on one turntable... (routin samples to different outputs) or more decks

-of course more cue points (like 10 cue points/10 loops should be enough)

1a. Edit tag VIA playing track (ie Right Click on playing track) to add a comment about a nice mix for example

1b. In new history tool: use normal colums: i use fields to make "comments", so it would be ease to go back to the songs i already played in history, have the 'comment' field there and make a comment ;)

2. (SSL 1.9) Let us choose how many samplers: my screen is too small for 5

3. 'KEY' also included in Browse and let us choose what is included, as i dont use album, song, artis for example in the browse function (as its much easier to do it by 'search' or 'sort library') the browse function should be something to easily scroll to a lot of data: ie. genre/style, bpm, key...

I wished and was promised to get it soon:...(? i hope)

Higher resolution waveforms.

Make the track overview bigger.

Allow SSL to route in and out of Ableton 8 to utilize it's effects.

Then move on to making something else as SSL will be perfect!

Please add more slots for the sampler 16 more, plus banks maybe 4 or 6 so we can play more samples instead of just the 6 in verion 1.9. That would be Killer and you will rival Kueit. or make and external program sampler like it that will play directly through the SL1 sound card. KILLER!!!

Ha Ha then you would only have to buy something like Kueit and run it from your headphone jack. And you must have at least a 3 channel mixer to do that more wires that can go bad and upgrading your mixer if you are using a 2 channel mixer at the time. Like i said above more sample slots like 16 with up to 4 to 6 banks would be Killer.

Nice suggestion, I used to be the same way when I first started using Serato, but it took some time before I really got a handle and forgot about flipping through the records on the milk crate. It is just a huge difference between the old and the new. Now that I look back, it is an improvement.

Wouldn't mind having that option though.

Hi SSL crew. Here are my feature suggestions/requests:

- Recording from within SSL (for versions 1.9.1+).

- Renaming of files from withing the library (physical renaming of files from within SSL).

- Key detection in the KEY tab (with the options of using standard music keys or the Camelot key system).

- Keyboard shortcuts for pitch bend functions in INT mode. There HAS to be some sort of a '+/-' KEYBOARD assign for pitch bending in internal mode... c'mon guys. Please and thank you. ;)

- Recognition of folder structures that contain subfolders to create subcrates when dragged into the library.

- Pitch 'n Time would also definitely be a useful feature as well, if you can somehow incorporate it as a feature into SSL...

- Add options for simulating ANALOG vinyl sound or DIGITAL CD sound. I noticed that my music sounds WAY too digital and has too many highs on most systems... and it would be nice if SLL had the option to make the output sound a bit less 'crunch' and more 'smooth'.


Cheers!

Oh and lastly - to elaborate a bit on the keyboard shortcut request for pitch bending in INT mode... you can try the following shortcut idea:

>> For the LEFT deck, press and hold the LEFT directional arrow on the keyboard while pressing the UP/DOWN arrows to pitch up or down.

>> For the RIGHT deck, press and hold the RIGHT directional arrow on the keyboard while pressing the UP/DOWN arrows to pitch up or down.

I'm referring to this set of directional arrows on a keyboard:

Ah - thanks Konix. And sorry for a misinformed request. I clicked the Help icon in SSL and hoovered over the pitch bend buttons but there was no help available for them, and I just assumed that there were no shortcuts for them either.

And I only have SL1. :( Oh well, I'll just use another program for recording my sets. Not a problem.

And... why should this thread be locked Akeim? The requests that people make, good or bad... is what makes SSL a great real-time application for DJs. The suggestions should never stop coming and such threads should keep on going as long as the projects are going.

I was just using INT mode again and thought that it would be nice to be able to use a shortcut or a key+click combination to reset the pitch adjuster back to 0%. Is there a shortcut for this already? If not, then that's another request.

First off, I have to say that the input from these forums has help to mold a wonderful program in to an even more wonderful program. My hat is off to all of the engineers, developers and marketing folk who take our suggestions and turn them into reality. I have noticed over the years how much SSL has grown and how even in its growth, the support is still top-notch....

So Thank you...



I know its hard to do...(or not) but... a modular interface, (where we can resize the circles and/or library area). Dont get me wrong, I love the circles,and the waveforms, but sometimes I want to turn them off so I dont get lazy, or because I want more library real estate...

Also when BROWSING, It would be nice to hold down CTRL and select more than one item in the columns to narrow down browses.

Color tagging should be more than just the little DOT.. how about the WHOLE LINE?

how is the analyzer supposed to know if the "skip" isn't a part of the song? it doesn't check what's recorded. that is left to the person recording on how they want things. it checks for bad encoding. that's almost like asking the analyzer to know the lyrics of a song.

I know it has been said about the more slots for the sampler like 16 total, that way it can be triggered from a Trigger Finger, Akai Mpad, or any midi controler, thus no one will have to go buy kueit and such software as that to play your samples. I was gonna buy kueit but you need to have a mixer with at least three channels to run the sound from kueit back into your mixer via your headphone output of your laptop, which i feel is backwards as F*&K. now if i could use kueit through the SL1 interface sound card that would be off the chain. Keep the music rollin yall.

Within the new beta version of 1.92 when you swithch the sampler's banks while your playing the sample it will cut off, this has to be fixed. As well as the smart crates idea of scaning for new songs as serato starts up, would be nice if you added new music. doing this manualy is a bitch at times,,,, What i do is go to the crate where i have input the new music and highlight everything even the old songs in that crate and it will only put the new songs in and will not duplicte the older files. For now that works for me but still i have to go looking for the folder with the new songs added, and if you forget then that is a pain also LOL.

I agree with you Benjamin. There should be an option to default next loop 'ON' Instead of having to enable it every single time.

Why hasn't Serato added the ability to Jump 4 or 8 bars (seamlessly) with track forwards/backwards. Every other DJ programs offers this basic feature. Scanning forward hurts my ears. You can already scan using vinyl/CD. It would be nice if I could just tap jump forward 4 times in pause mode, and set a cue after the 16 bar intro is finished.

Where is SPLICE (Skip a section seamlessly)?

Why isn't there a button combination to copy either deck to a sampler and continue playing? Currently, the only way to do it in SSL is to use the mouse to drag and drop the deck to the sampler?

no - but the easiest way to do what you wanna do is:
- put your music on a external harddrive
- plug it in to the laptop that's runnin serato scratch live
- your crates, cue-points and loops are automaticly imported by the software (plug and play).
- both of you play with one serato and one laptop and got it's own files, crates, loops, order

and if you unplug your hard drive your crates disappear from the laptop.

i think that's the easiest way to do it with out swapin laptops.

i think there will be installations in the clubs (serato, ttm-mixer, laptop/computer) and djs playing with their files from a harddrive..

for sp6:
1.- beat sync for the sample player (to deck 1 or 2)
2.- 20% pitch range
3.- quick load, one button for load deck 1 or 2 into a sample bank 1-6
4.- save start point for loops, when you quit live, starting points of samples reset to "start"

Others:
1.- Midi clock out & in
2.- 2 decimal BPM display on deck
3.- build one controller for all functions (sampler: triggers, pitch, volume, trigger mode, etc) (Cue 1-5 for each deck) (looper: auto loop 1/4 - 32, in/out, saved loops scrolls, loop on/off)
4.- Ability to send bpm to other computer via wifi (when playing 2 or more djs), send the graphics aids will be great!!!
5.- four Turntable support
6.- beat sync
7.- when building overviews auto detect (and customizable later) the 1.1.1 bar and beat & bar count (like ableton)
8.- off course waiting for ableton and serato joint functionalities
9.- more effects
10 key detection & key change for harmonic mixing
11.- metronome

Tracktor and Torq are a little bit more advance on these topics... serato still rocks, but needs these upgrades

For those of you who also use Pro Tools, and other audio recording programs; Live, Reason etc, you know how useful a visual "grid" is!
I am a longtime Torq user who recently switched to Serato.

There are, of course, benefits and a few disadvantages...
One of which is, as far as i know, Serato does not provide a visible grid line on the waveform showing bars and beats...

I find this tremendously useful for several reasons:
1. Helps with visually lining up tracks for beat matching/time correcting.
2. Enables transitions that start in a section of a song that doesn't have a recognizable
beat. (the grid line shows you where the beat is even if there is no audible beat playing at the time, so long as the song is quantized.)
3. You can visually see if the tempo is correct because the grid matches up with the transients (waveforms).

Please, please consider adding this feature.

A few of you guys have selected greater pitch ranges...
If using an external source, coded vinyl, cd's etc. Then the pitch range is governed by the player, not Serato.
If you're using internal mode, you have limitless pitch range. If you're using a mouse to change the pitch and not the hotkeys, Serato Scratch Live is above your capabilities. use E and R for deck 1, use D and F for deck 2.

That's true, however, I'd say most SSL DJs don't want to use Internal mode (kind of defeats the point of vinyl control, right?) and that also doesn't mean it isn't possible to offset the pitch by a certain % or double the timecode speed within the program. I think it's safe to assume most people that use turntables use Technics, and unless you have MK5Gs, you're only limited to +/-8% (unless you mod it, but that's another story).

In other programs, like Traktor Scratch Pro and djDecks and I even think Virtual DJ, it's possible to increase the speed of the song with the internal pitch slider, while still using external timecode control. So you can, for example, pitch the track up to +8% with the internal pitch slider, and still use vinyl control/turntable pitch slider, giving you an effective pitch range of 0% (which would be -8% on your turntable's pitch slider) up to 16% (+8% on turntable's pitch slider).

True but if you are doing this, you are in effect halving the accuracy of your turntable.. I mean if you really wanted to do this, you'd be better off with using a turntable with a greater pitch range, I've always had vestax and wouldn't have this problem as the pitch can be set to +/-100 (if required) as well as normal modes, 3%, 6% and 12%

Only if it's pitch multiplier (timecode multiplier), not pitch offset like I mentioned above. With pitch offset, you keep the same pitch resolution/accuracy of the turntable's pitch slider, you're just offsetting the range.

You could also say how often loops should play and then playin the next one (like in ni kontakt)

yea i like that... maybe it could be incorporated into a 'playlist crate' or something?

apart from internal FX my other feature would be:

- 'next loop' turns next loop ON automatically...

...ive suggested it already so im just hitting it at the serato team again...

True but if you are doing this, you are in effect halving the accuracy of your turntable.. I mean if you really wanted to do this, you'd be better off with using a turntable with a greater pitch range, I've always had vestax and wouldn't have this problem as the pitch can be set to +/-100 (if required) as well as normal modes, 3%, 6% and 12%


Yes sell off your mk5g and buy a lesser vestax... great idea! oh wait, this club only has 1200's installed. Hey sound guy im brining my own decks please take these out and put them back in when my sets done.... What do you mean "no"?

no - but the easiest way to do what you wanna do is:
- put your music on a external harddrive
- plug it in to the laptop that's runnin serato scratch live
- your crates, cue-points and loops are automaticly imported by the software (plug and play).
- both of you play with one serato and one laptop and got it's own files, crates, loops, order

and if you unplug your hard drive your crates disappear from the laptop.

i think that's the easiest way to do it with out swapin laptops.

i think there will be installations in the clubs (serato, ttm-mixer, laptop/computer) and djs playing with their files from a harddrive..


I have done this. And have had other djs use my computer. But swapping still comes up often. I would rather see them have two usb's on an sl box. I see they have two usb's on the new 68 mixer now, so I imagine it wont be long.... I hope.

2. id like serato to be my all in one tool and would like to see the ability to transfer my new music in serato at 320 with a database source to auto fill the track info and also a track at once feature meaning transfer an hour long mix as one track my one stop stop so to speak put the cd in hit the button auto fill and it makes your MP3s for you in the crates you want to stor them in!!! just a thought!!!

I am hearing that 3 decks won't work unless you have an SL 3 with ver 2.0.

Can we please have a 3 deck option for SL 1 Owners?

Much in the same way you can assign the Sampler to L, R, or BOTH outputs, why don't you create a 3rd deck that would be configurable in the same fashion? As far as midi or timecode controlling, I'd imagine being able to hot-swap to the 3rd deck would be an important feature.

Well I'm pretty sure that Serato makes the most money on a pro-rata basis with the hardware manufacturers. How would they possibly earn money if they removed the need of the hardware?
I agree with "djdannyd": If you want something like a full integrated mixing software, there are plenty of "alternatives" to ScratchLive. And - to be honest - they're not even alternatives since they aim a completely different audience.

I would like to make a suggestion with regards to resolution - as we all know technology continues to evolve and get more powerful while getting smaller - RANE has always been very good at customer response and fulfilling the needs of their artists/customers by continually updating and evolving with technology. As we are seeing more and more netbooks/laptops become increasingly smaller and for that matter more and more popular in the DJ world - I would like to suggest variable resolutions - as of now I have a very powerful netbook but am at a loss with Serato as I cannot launch the application even with my highest resolution setting 1024 X 600 ( my fault for not verifying the minimum specs - sad as one of the primary reasons I purchased the netbook was for Serato - I would typically not post however I have seen this request numerous times throughout the forum and thought it necessary to post this request - Thank you for having this open topic and forum and I look forward to your next release !

Short Version :
Variable Resolution -
1024X600 most common resolution for netbooks
800 X 600 Easier to view for others
Any other sizes you may see common out there

I would like to see live the effects of gain on the waveform. So if you adjust the gain of a track the waveform will update with more or less head room.

Also It would be really cool to have an option to see the comment section of a track pop up next the deck when it is loaded. Sometimes i like to give myself notes in the comment section like "dont forget to get your second loop ready". It would just be easier to see then looking at the tiny type in the comments in the library.

Also I would LOVE it if when you had SSL on auto play there was gapless playback. So when it changes from track 1 to track 2 there is no pause or skip in between.

thanks

it would be sweet to be able to set a pitch adjustment lock. So I could adjust the pitch of a track in SSL and lock it in that pitch while the turntable is at 0.

for example what if I have a track that I ALWAYS play at +2. It would be awesome to lock that track to always play at +2 when the pitch on your deck is set to 0.

Running time would be good - Mentioned this before.

Playing the whole track surely depends on what type of gig it is? If I'm doing a wedding then absolutely I would, if I'm doing and 18th or 21st birthday then no.

The point of tracking the playlist time is more for getting a basic idea of how long your set is looking.

Lets say you have just got 40 banning new tunes,,, you want to play all of them but the time frame of your set just doesn't make it possible (Sure if you are a table techy then it's your kind of thing, But what if you are into progressive house?) My point is that it is a very simple feature to add and it would make life a lot simpler!

Almost every audio playing software has playlist time tracking!

What if you are at a gig and a manager asks you to fill in for an A.W.O.L dj his set is 1.5 hours and he plays techno, you haven't prepared simply because you didn't know, techno is not your weapon of choice but you do have a couple of daggers in your belt, with this feature you could find your sharpest knives pull them into a crate knowing that it will be enough to full the duration of the set comfortably! Like I said it's a simple feature ,,,, whats the harm!

I know there is not much room left for more keyboard shortcuts, but I personally dont use anything like all of them! So I would like to replace some controls I dont use. I have no midi controller.

A strange dream last night... Internal mixing coming to Serato via Ableton. The audio from Serato gets rewired inside the computer to Ableton and there it goes though frequency splits and effects before coming out through the analog outs of the Serato Box... In the Ableton window I saw 1/1 octave filter with kills for every channel and it had bar displays showing the 1/1 octave levels in real time... Suddenly, I heard the air horn, and I woke me up to put my phone on snooze. Ans,I couldn't figure out the cross fader part. Anyway, I think it's just common sense to see this coming.

The otpion would be nice but the lack of option is what makes SSL so stable, they control the loop completely and can find issues and correct them.

The main reason people will bitch about programs like VDJ crashing is because hardware issues cause them because there are so many variables.
While you may be comfortable setting up external sound cards (I would be too) the problem would be that the number of people that try it and mess it up will then be talking shit on SSL as being unstable. Not good for the reputation.

Classic Vertical Mode in 2.0 for 3 decks !!!!

Pleasey pleasey .... It would make things so easy.

Stacked mode is pretty hard to mix with, at least for someone whose not used to mixing in horizontal mode. I cant mix deck 1 and 3 as easily as I would be able to if is was in vertical mode cuz the mini waveforms inside of the bigger ones aren't together. All three mini-waves shld be grouped together on the left and all three bigger wave forms should be grouped together on the right....In veritcal mode that is.

The whole upgrade is about completely different things depending on the person, there are a lot of peopole with 0 interest in the third deck.

Would it be better to map the third deck to a MIDI controller anyway? I'd hate to be trying to use the keyboard to control the 3rd deck.
At 12:42 AM 18 April 2010
Laz219 wrote
link
Some people might not be interested in the third deck but its undeniable that the third deck is defiantly the biggest feature in the upgrade, seen as its the most asked for thing for Serato and is going to be intergral in the way it works with ableton.
So, its seems a 'lil weird that no attempts have been made to intergrate it into the existing hardware everyone uses i.e the keyboard. Yea an external midi controller is the only option without control on the keyboard mapping, which I don't personally think would be too bad because my hand is already there for the other two decks.

I've got a nano Kontrol, which Ive got mapped beautifully for the sample player and sfx but now adding the third deck into it just makes it messy.

Its kind of a shame I cant get everything intergrated into my existing gear or that Rane doesn't offer something in the way of a midi controller for their software. I think it would dominate other controllers because it would or could be intergrated perfectly with the program.

I know the 68 is suppose to take care of that but for people who don't want to spend 3 g's it would be nice for something in between.

Just some thoughts ...

If you want to rearrange your tracks manually, you can only do it after clicking the # column header to sort by number. You can't rearrange tracks if you're sorted by another column, say the BPM column, because then it wouldn't be in numerical (BPM) order, or if sorted by artists, then it wouldn't be in alphabetical order anymore.

But, sure, they could just disable this lock and let you rearrange tracks even if sorted by any column.

I do actually NEED beat jump, as can be found in traktor. It's often you find you may not have dropped the track at the right time and need to beat jump forward to get the right spot for the perfect mix. Also when you're coming to the end of a track and your mix isn't finished, beat jump back would be very useful!

Whats the point of having a 3rd deck if we have to control some functions with a mouse??? Definitely, 3rd deck should be fully midi mapable.

2. Ability to record from any sound card to connected to the computer. It should be part of the recording source drop-down.

3. Midi out

#1 Auto sync - This needs to happen in order to utilize 4 deck mode with the Sixty Eight.
(Don't hate)
At the least, we need some hybrid feature that will allow you to press a button/keyboard command that will sync sources your currently playing to then free up the decks to add even more to the mix. Maybe the user would still need to actually mix the tracks. Once they are mixed, press a sync button and carry on with other tracks.

#2 Update the Keylock feature.

#3 Skip loop feature - Similar to auto looping only you create a loop that will allow you to seamlessly skip that part of the track. You'll no longer need to edit your files outside of SSL.

#4 Smart Loops - Similar to Follow Action in Ableton which would allow you to choose what the track does once its done playing a looped part. ie. Play next loop, play previous loop, play last loop.
Smart Loops could also facilitate automatically turning on effects in certain, looped parts and automating what the effects do inside of a selected, looped section.
Incorporating "Save FX to loop".

#5 Gapless playback when using Auto Play

Also, People who want autosync (I'm NOT one of them) as a substitute for knowing what their doing don't spend this much money on software; they find some sh*&@y shareware or cracked program. If they want to add it to aid with multiple decks, who really cares? I know that I can still mix without it, so it doesn't worry me. It's not like it can know when to mix it/fade it/stop it, etc.

I would love to be able to reverse the flow of the time signal display. As it is, they flow from bottom to top, but my Technics decks' pitch controls (and almost every other deck I've seen) work in the opposite fashion: down (towards you) for faster, up (away from you) for slower. This is counter-intuitive to your hand-eye coordination, and even though I been using Scratch for over two years, I still cannot quite get used to it.

i cannot tell you how great it would be if the itunes system for managing songs could be wholly imported. It seems like these are very minor (all the major features are taken care of: smart playlists, basic headers)

1-i sort my tunes according to play count, year, and most importantly RATING. Importing those headers into serato truly opens up a world of felxibility especially with large collections

2-Live updates. make immediate changes to the itunes playlist it is reading and vice versa (no restart)

Well, I don't use it too. But I think it could be useful if you want to sort the tracks by a remixer. I'm using the search function for this, but I can understand if anybode uses this and it can also be cool if you want to create a smart crate for remixes or remix types (e.g. progressive remixes)

Could be cool. One thing I miss about vinyl is the ability to read the record just by looking at the grooves. I'd recommend exchanging the white discs on the display for an image of how the mp3 would look if it was on vinyl with the grooves and width representing length etc. Or maybe I just need to get familiar to reading the wave? I cant seem to be able to determine how long a break or intro is, for example, just by looking at the wave.

Already mentioned but please do something about the key lock!

"Track preview" in the browse page would be extremely helpful to know how long is the intro, verse, chorus, breakdown before loading. It would be a time saver to prepare doing creative drops (at loops, vocals, with DJ FX), will also be easy for bringing a track quickly in the mix and taking out, or just bringing a track immediately by dropping at a desired cue point on the fly (not just the first). As Beano mentioned, it is similar to looking at vinyl.

BLACKLIST: end the need for maintaining two libraries

The number one most pressing feature Scratchlive needs is blacklist of media files to not analyze. The blacklist would be an iTunes playlist who’s containing items would be skipped over when Scratchlive analyzes media files and builds their waveforms. Analyzing files is an expensive process that should only be done on files that will actually be used in a DJ set. The argument for skipping analysis of some files is much stronger on computers that don’t have the latest hardware.

As long as the iPod remains the world’s most popular mp3 player, iTunes will not go away and will be the principle way of organizing media in a library. They have a lot of experience supporting a huge customer base with diverse media and requirements that, despite iTunes past transgressions, they’ve become pretty good at library organization.

Even if Scratchlive library organization caught up to iTunes, maintaining two libraries is no fun. However, in an effort to avoid waveform analysis of my numerous non-DJ related media, I’ve come to accept the maintenance of two libraries as a necessary evil. Due to other missing features that I will not bring up at this time to keep focus on blacklists, I chose the libraries I’d maintain to both be iTunes libraries; a main library and a DJ library. The DJ library only contains tracks I would want waveforms for and would actually use in a set. My main library contains music, music videos, movies, video clips, podcasts and other non-music audio. Some of the music and music videos in my main library are already in my DJ library while others, like new tracks, should be. I have to get somewhat familiar with a track before I decide it also belongs my DJ library. More often than not I get familiar with tracks using my iPhone because it’s with me wherever I go. I also sync other non-DJ related media to my iPhone therefore it must be paired with my main library.

Besides the waste of time duplicating effort in each library, in a short amount of time, the main issue with dual maintenance arose time and time again. As with maintaining two of any similar things, very often the one or both will become out of sync with your intentions. And very often you won’t discover it until the worse opportune moment, like at a gig.

I know I'm not the only user needing this feature.

I'm sure there are plenty others but such posts are difficult to search for. Notice the lack of keywords in that post.

The development effort implementing the blacklisting of files in an iTunes playlist (preferably a smart playlist) would pay huge dividends in time, effort and headache avoidance to end users of Scratchlive. Imagine maintaining just one library.

I like how this thread was started in 2006 \
SO "the next version of scratchlive" was done years ago.

logic - ANY feature request is probably wanted in the NEXT version
so why put it in this thread instead of thread of its own?

This thread has no fucking purpose.

If you make a suggestion in here:
a) it will not getting cataloged
b) doubt the mods look in this long ass mess to figure out what to do next

please lock the thread

I'd love this feature!

doubleclick a track -> and Serato shows up only tracks you previously defined as matching to this specific track.

-> less searching ..
-> less to remember ..
-> more intuitive (than crates)

This would make it much more easy and fast to swich between your sets and genres and to play with the crowd....

I have a serato SL-1 and for me the things that are missing are :

- A pitch in "relative mode" (the most important)
- Auto-adjusting loops
- Some effects (lfo, flanger, delay)

It seems evident to get these features on the next update !!

you know what serato needs to do in the next version.. and this is very simple...

Like the idea but can you make more advance by adding the option to protect individual crates






















PUT THE PROTECT LIBRARY BUTTON NEXT TO ADDING NEW CRATES.... I HATE HOW U HAVE TO GO INTO SETTINGS AND THEN GO TO TABS TO TURN THIS ON AND OFF...

why ? cuz when we gig out.. soemtimes we see an error in our library and wanna correct then.. but dont have the time to go thru all that mumbo jumbo to tget it so we leave it alone and then forget about it..






SO PLEASE CAN U GUYS PUT THAT BUTTON RIGHT NEXT TO ADDING NEW CRATES...THNX
