Not until it gets closer to the date of shipping. I assume its more likely to be mid to end April.

See 1.5 is almost done... but I'm sure there is still work to do on 1.6. 1.6 needs to be included with the TTM57 so not unil they think 1.6 is ready will it be shipping.

So, once you have all the parts delivered and ready, how long does it take to roll out TTM 57SL mixers for 3 sold out production runs? Then, how much testing is done?

How many units can you make with each production run?

how long until you rule the world?

so when you say the 1st production runs are sold out? does that mean if I order thru a place like DJDEALS or TTLAB, I wont be getting it till much later?

That is primarily constrained by parts supply.


The problem is that the parts for only the first run arrive in April, then the parts for the second run arrive in May, and the third run in June. As Steve said, Rane are pressuring the vendors to ship more parts sooner (so each production run can be larger), but for some parts it's out of their control and you can't build a unit with 1 missing part.

"Sold out" means sold by Rane to dealers. You would have to check with the individual stores to find out if the stock they've ordered is already sold.

... We're waiting for parts to arrive at our door. Vendors "promise" us dates ....

dang Steve, and i thought my company were the only one's who suffer from that... it is a sad sight to see revenue tools line down waiting fer parts...then when the parts do finally come in, theres the whole assembly/testing/troubleshooting phase....feelin tha same pain yo.

I know this could never be implemented in the first run, but I have a quesion...and maybe it is a stupid one...but here goes:

Is it possible to have TWO USB inputs in the mixer? If this mixer is permenately installed, I was thinking of how two DJ's could switch their computers without disrupting one session of Serato to switch to the second DJ. Currently, most of us put on a CD or vinyl and use the "thru" output. But on this mixer, could it technically be done?...or is it a physical impossibility? (all the electronics stuff that I know nothing about)

Not with the current design. One thing you can do is capture a 1 bar loop for the 57 to repeat while you switch laptops.

Any of them ship yet? And if so, anyone have them yet?

apparently, there are no dates yet. waiting for mine as well. sigh*

Search around, word is that rane wont have all the parts until the end of april, it takes about 5 days to put em in, and then you should figure in shipping to the retailers, and shipping to you if you bought online.

I am impatient as can be too, but don't hold your breath. . .

I wonder, how many units get made on the first production run and does a dealer/reseller's order get shipped to the consumer right from Rane to the customer or does it first have to be shipped from the dealer/reseller to the customer?

Sorry folks, I make the rubber feet and the dude that supplies me with the rubber, is waiting for the shipment from africa. Word on the street is that the ship is still waiting for gas from Iraq, and with the war you never know ....

syke !

meaning? that if you ordered online... you're lucky to get in May?

Does the finished %57 look exactly like this

i really hope so this is so SICK!!!!

Ok, so the first wave is a bit behind projected dates... will the second wave be delayed as well??

(question @ Rane/Serato guys)

No.

Have you guys decided to do colored face plates like the 56?

Whats the word on a Rane/SSL custom footswitch?
www.scratchlive.net

Does it come with more rane stickers, or even some ramen since that is all I can afoard to eat now?

YES OR NO

Classic!

Damn son! Classic to you, real life to me. . . ;)

Yes

sweet

Have you not seen the vid demos on the 57. It looks exactly like that pic.

i saw the vid i just didnt pay
any attn
to that

i love the skulls and the color w/ gray and black it looks so clean

Well.... ummm. ** clears throat**.. ummmm... but....

Don't let it stop you from taking off the faceplate and making your own design on it.

What means it?

never mind...

What is the RETAIL price plz?

scratchlive.net

Never liked them anyway ..... carry on with *my* 57 !!

Yes, carry on with production of OUR 57s please. Having fancy face plates is like having one of those Rice Rockets on the road. Lol. Rane is successful coz of their products' simplicity, technology and sophistacation. Carry on indeed.

P.S. Sending good vibes this Easter... hummmmmmmm... :-p

Rane should post a list of their suppliers... everyone here can call them up and give them an ear full or 2. ;-)

Thanks click, but I was needing the "official" retail price from Rane/Serato...is $1499 the final official retail price? (NOT street price) (..and p.s. all, I did do a search first) thanks again

oohh... man.. u even put in in caps..

ma bada..

I think we should at least be able to buy some bulk faceplate which we can adjust to our needs. Why? The mixer buttons, knobs and switches are configurable, so we might need to be able to build and use our own printings.

dear rane please cancel all last minute work on stability and concentrate on faceplates instead. i want a louis vuitton luggage print plate for mine asap as i have an important gig at miami airport next thursday and there may be a battle that i will need to win. who cares if there are bugs etc or it crashes hey thats life it didnt stop stanton selling a crateload of frisbees. you guys are way too serious and nerdy with all your talk of bug-fixes and stability. meh, let the paying customer beta test for you - as long as i get my faceplate thats all that matters

ha!

i hope you are being sarcastic.

Haha, word earwolf :))

I'ma rate his post 10/10.

but why can't they 'balance' both?

(hire a 'color faceplate guy')

It would make more sense to them to hire another "work out the bugs guy" or another "get the suppliers to ship us the damn parts guy".

so then, why don't they fire the coffee guy, and the monitor the forums guy ;') to get the guys you speak of..

The coffee guy keeps everyone up... without him nothing would ever get done.

The guy(s) who check the forum are a huge part of support. Without them Rane would not be the company we all know and love.

Rane and Serato stand for quality, stability and support PERIOD

so what about the hot model that just stands in the lobby?

She doesnt get paid much anyways.. they had a vote "Snacks or hot model" and they voted the model. I think it was something about keeping the moral high.

Ohh I get it.. if they see her everyday and resist the temptation to touch, they will be impervious to the Rane/SSL groupies.

That, actually, is pretty damn smart.

(I wonder if the wife will go for a plan like that in my company... hell, in the house would also be a great idea!)

From the PSSL website:

Item #: TTM-57SL 01
Available?: Expected in our warehouse by 08/01/2006

www.scratchlive.net

LOL! I second that! HAha

Ok good point, but awnser me this:

If they were origonally planning on shipping the mixer on the 15th of April, but were delayed for parts, why isn't it already done? So maybe what they really should have said is that they we delaying it for parts, AND they were not done with the software.

If it was ready to ship out on the 15th, and the ONLY were waiting on parts, then I was asking if they had taken the extra time forced on them by the parts suppliers to do any of the extras the THEY had talked about doing before.

I dont think they are "delaying" it due to the status of the software. Of course from a software point of view they might be happy about the delay cause that might give them more time to test it etc. But really, I dont think that if they had the parts already, that the would had delayed the shipping due to the software. I've had a quick run on the TTM57 at the Musikmesse and evne though it was not finished at all it seemed to behave ok.

what i dont understand is how they can ship a unit with 1.6 when 1.5 is still in beta

It seems like 1.5 is almost finished. That does not mean, they cant work internally on 1.6 (which wont really add new features to the SSL itself, it will most probably only add all necessary TTM57 functions to the software).

doesnt 1.6 have some significant enhancements though? that aren't just confined to the 57? i don't get it...

1.5 to 1.6 only adds support for the ttm57 specific features, control surface, footswitch, effects, recording, etc. That is what the mods told us a while ago, I am guessing it still holds true.

So even if the parts were available the software is still in beta which would push back the original release date.

No, I dont think so. I assume it will be the same as when the MP4 has been released last year. They shipped it with a (stable) beta version.

What is this TTM57? I dont even know what it is anymore! Serious this wait is unbearable!! No news yet?

The delay of the parts meant we could add more goodies and refinements to the 57 software and have a longer testing period.

So there is a definite delay in the parts? For sure they arent comming in this friday?

They're not. My buddy from PSSL said May is a far cry. Rane gave them the August date. I'm part of the first batch who pre-ordered from them and I'm still having a hard time accepting the truth... no 57 til mid to even end of Summer. Bummer! I wish Rane would just be truthful about the dates. How hard is it to exaggerate the delay dates and formulate a release date for that matter? I'm thinking of refunding my money and just buying another SL1 (since I sold my previous one) for the time buying and just buy the 57 during Christmas. The hype that they've created would've been a great marketing strategy but if buyers/potentials start getting upset, it may just backfire.

personally i hope it isn't out for 6 months, i might have sold this kidney by then

Sounding a little hostile (slash defensive perhaps?) are we? That post was intended for fellow members who await the mixer. A link to the previous thread would've been a very solid statement from your end that would've shot me down and quit my whining anymore. You know people in the forums aren't going to stop til they get what they want right?

Don't burn bridges bud (with your consumers). I would name companies but hey, let's keep it peaceful here. :-p

Sounds like you need some help bro.

Whooza whoooza... 1 day left.

*sending out good vibrations*

Steve, you will let us know when the parts have arrived? :)

Steve can i have a dozen free 57's please?

Okay Steve, I will be @ the Factory next Monday afternoon. Does that work for you? Let's all go. Who's in the Northwest and wants to meet me @ the Rane factory? Not to audit the 57 production but just because it would be fun....

I would love to go check out the factory... but its a bit of a drive. Hmm.. maybe I can organize a summer trip. That would be a good drive.

They're super cool at the factory, everyone is really nice and you know all of the warrany cards you're suppose to send in, they actually read them and hang with up for the workers to read. They get stoked on every good comment they get. Like I said the factory is dope, even the mixer tester lady is cool, she sound checks every mixer before it is shipped.

S

Sweet! I'm going to try to make a road trip out of it. Maybe they will let me hang around for a few days (I'm sure they will get sick of me looking over their shoulders asking what that thing does).

Maybe I can join your trip and have a beer with Steve M. Maybe have him sign my 57 (which will be delivered to me by then) as well :-)

Your coming from San jose..... that would be a crazy road trip for me to come and pick you up. ;-)

lol. its ok, you can start driving... or even walking towards San Jose. By the time you get here, the 57 would've been released. Hahaha. Then i'll have something for them to sign. I'll pay for your plane ticket. :-p

I really dont think the parts are going to be here today. Highly unlikely. Now I just gotta be strong and not spend this 1500 I have in bank account.

POSITIVE vibes, damnit! ;)

Just got mailed by turntablelab that they should be shipping the 57 5/17. I found it strange that they're mailing just today, maybe Rane told them something they haven't told us yet..?

It almost 8pm where Rane is at. I highly doubt parts come in during the middle of the night.

It's only 3:38PM here.

It's only 12:40PM at Rane.

Really? what time zone is the forum based on?

What ever time zone you set it to. Right now I see it as EST.

Sweet, thanks for the update.

[quoteAnyone is more than welcome to show up here at the Rane factory almost any time [This morning wouldn't be a good time to show up here, but after lunch is fine and not at 4 pm when I have meeting.]

I am actively looking for an excuse to visit...
:-)

Steve, are you or any of the Rane team going to that Serato contest in Toronto thats coming up soon?

My Rane TTM 57SL mixer should be in my hands this Friday or Saturday folks!

You lucky dude,
unfortunately some dealers are playing rough with this mixer. I just called some dude who was so rude telling me he can sell this thing for 1799 if he wanted. He apparently has some in stock in and is kind of doing an "auction". I told him about AGI quote and his response was that he does not match prices for shit.

I wonder why Rane deals with such morons. Those 57s that asswipe is holding onto could have been given to AGI and would be in the hands of some happy DJ right now. What a shame.

Dark Helmet: How many assholes do we have on this ship anyhow?.
Besætning: YO!
Dark Helmet: I knew it! Im surrounded by assholes! Keep firing assholes!



Name that movie?! =P

o o o o o, pick me, pick me!

was it.....ummmmm (dang it!, come on brain....think! think!) .... u know, the one that made fun of star wars.

Watchwww.youtube.com

SpaceBalls is hilarious!!!

LOL .... I was not thinking anything that drastic. But now I am writing my congressman to enact a law like that.

your doing it again, i dont want to see you around here again till you've made me a video with your 57.

i do like spaceballs though.

when you review the distributor form can there also be a box that says "I WILL NOT SELL TO MICROWAVE DJ'S I PROMISE"

So heres the plan. Because this mixer is to well priced cough cough. I'm sure Rane should be making some nice pocket change at least I would hope so. I have no promblem with that, thats business. markup is markup and inflation is inflation. See I'm not a big fan of Apple comuters I have an I pod and all but I've always used a Windows based computer, But I tell you they have the right idea. Flagship stores in every major city and suburb.
I say that should be the next step for rane, so you don't have to add that check mark box on your dealer application and us true heads here can get quality service which Rane is famous for anyway. Just and Idea don't mean to rant.
Peace

(not towards you personally, but a debate of theory...)

Kind of defeats the purpose of having dealers, no? If Rane can't do anything about moronic vendors, who can? ONLY Rane has control over this. If they wanted better service from their vendors, they would place demands on them, and let the ones walk that walk. I understand Rane can't eliminate morons in general, but they can absolutely eliminate them from their vendor list. Maybe they don't want to though because a.) they make more money that way, or b.) they don't know how bad the offending vendor is, or c.) they've chosen to throw away the Rane brand equity?

If Rane has moron vendors, I blame Rane corporate for having them, and letting them hurt the Rane image. If it were me, I'd go ahead and include that check box. It's not really illegal at all, in fact, that's the least I'd want to know about someone selling products with my name on it.

bad boys bad boys (starwars style) vids.myspace.com

So when will these mixers NOT be in the backorder/pre-order status?
