Yes, Please tell us the relase date.

yea come on, i hope its earlier than next week. I play videos in my set and i want to use it tomorrow and Saturday in my set. Scratch Live 2.0 & Video SL

really looking forward to this, can we get a time frame on a semi public/ or public beta
of 2.0.

We all know how Serato is...nothing get released before it's ready...even beta releases lol

please when when?! sounds good!

When it's ready?! :p
It's not even public beta so it can take about 1 month before we can expect a final version. But I'm already excited^^

i read beta within a week and release within a month

nice can't wait

I think 2.0 final will be launched during Musikmesse in Germany. That was the case in a previous version. And if we think that 2.0 is kinda like "all-new" the extra time can be good.
If you say Scratch Live people automaticly say "stability". So if you add lots of features at the same time (which seems to be the case with 2.0) people will be concerned even more about stability, speed, and system requirements.
So I'll be OK with waiting some more time than getting a final with plenty of bugs.

Sounds good but what we really need to know is .... is it free ? if not .... how much ?

it should be free for SL3 owners !!!!

i'm only really interested in the effects, but i just got a new mixer/controller that has lots of cool effects built in anyway so i'm not if it will make a difference to my show.

i'm not interested in 3 or 4 decks, though i think it would be cool for scratch djs.

all in all, it makes a worthy release and kind of pisses on the fire of those traktor users that brag about 4 decks and built in effects.... now what traktor ?

@DJStevieG - All ScratchLive updates are free

Pretty cool. Nice job Serato.

Still no mention of more cue points or markers and the ability to label you cues? That's all I wanted, no need for more decks and software effects, I won't use them anyway, and I doubt the majority of scratch DJ's won't either, don't forget your roots serato!

At least the library has been improved, and we can modify screen the layout..

+100000000

Same here mate markers and more que points is on top of my list too. The effects will be a nice feature to have extra

Markers, Markers, Markers....!!!!!!

all I want now is the beta.

Holding my breath eh.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Yeah i would like to see named cue points and most played section in options.

Keep them free updates coming guys !!! i still got plenty o free knobs on my controller to be assigned !!!

They add feature cause the majority of scratch DJ's want them. They won't was time working on a useless feature. Trust me...this company is not Microsoft.

Hi all, what kind of New Serato DJ FX are we talking about, effects like "flanger, echo, robot?"

Will we be able to control all four decks with two control decks or are we going to need fourd cdjs? and what about a sync button for remixing and looping, you know one that you can pick which virtual deck you want to sync too IE. looping on deck 3 synced to the bpms on deck one, with a vocal synced on deck 4?

By the look of it your gonna need the new SIXTY EIGHT to use the 3 and 4 deck mode ?

sync will not be added in 2.0, they would have specified it if it was added as it has been hugely suggested.

I would like to see the sync feature for when im djing in bars in int mode, however Serato pride themselves on being "the only ....... true to djing with NO AUTO SYNC the dj is in control not the computer"

After stating that i can't Imagen why they would add AS.

The natural conclusion that I would jump to, would be that you can use as many decks as you have inputs/outputs. ie, sl1=2, sl3=3, rane68=4.

I'd imagine that sl3 will have instant triples instead of instant doubles, and 68 will have instand quad.

So, in theory, you'll be able to use 2 decks, then bounce a tune onto a 3rd (or 4th) deck in internal mode, freeing up the actual deck for another tune.

Sync can eat a dick too in my opinion.

If you want to cheat, fire all your tunes through ableton and set the tempo the same, but please serato, don't degrade yourselves by putting in a feature that'll undermine my ability as a dj.

It wouldn't undermine your ability as a dj. I have been djing for many years (I learned with the best of them on vinyl). Beat syncing for looping would just make things easier. I do it already playing between two computers, 4 cdjs, two serato boxes and the mixer, as well as having both computers midi mapped to two controllers. I am very familiar with stretching tunes in ableton as well...now cheating wouldnt exactly be the word Kaboom...making things more efficiant would be more like it. I prefer to remix live with serato not just play music. I pride myself with the show I bring out being that i haven't found another dj doing it. and yes you could say that I could use tracktor...but come on we all know serato sets the standard.

So again I ask is serato going to add a loop sync button that can go between decks?

get the hell out, no there not....if they put in a sync feature that would be so friging gay. then the program will just be a stupid as virtual dj.

whats with all the low self esteem around here? Sync is something that will allow a dj to comfortably mix with 4 decks and push the boundry for the people at a club at any particular time... Which is the point of djing or?... or do most djs just dj for themselves and their friends. Its like when sports such as american football started introducing more pads and protection... Some big fat lineman complaining that a real lineman doesnt need a neck roll to protect his spine from injury. And the lineman thinks its unfair that other lineman dont go home with injuries.

But it'll provide yet more draw to those house/tech guys considering Traktor. Plus, with internal effects, you'll want a midi controller to get the best out of them - and that needs an internal time signature where possible to maintain accurate effects application.

It looks rather fun: Watchwww.youtube.com

Thes nothing wrong with having sync as a plug in or option, you don't have to use it !

P.S Virtual dj is gay gay gay anyway !

That actually raise a good question, if I instant double a track from deck 1 to deck 2, then offset deck 2 by a half beat. Now, when loading the same track to deck 3, which of deck 1 or 2 would it be doubled from? I guess serato made some smart logics to this, maybe a doubles master assignment for decks? I guess we'll see when it drops...

more cue points in this version. pls serato

+ 840000000000000 and a coupon for a free Quarter Pounder.

+100

this publication they is compatible with sl1 users?

thanks

Can Scratch live 2.0 support 3x vinyl turntables on the SL3??

Yes it can :)

Wait how, with the Aux input? I would assume then that the same would be true for the TTM-57?

?

Sweet :) My SL3 is on order :D

Just following up on my previous questions from the Serato Forum Gurus:



and will the DJ FX be compatible with those who own SL1 or SL3 exclusively?

Thanks in advance for any and all answers!

Effects will work on all ScratchLive hardware

more cue points!!!

SO is SL 4 comming? I use the denon HC 4500. Will I hook up 2 HC4500's to my macbook and how will I get the 4 audio outs? SL4?

NO SL4 - Sixty eight !!

so I am about to buy an sl 3 should I just get the sixty eight? do I need sl 3 also or does it act as the interface?

i think u still need the sl3 buddy, serato only works in 1 deck preview mode without the SL box

it looks like the sixty eight is going to act as the sl 3. and I think the price reflects that as well. $2500???

hmmmmmmmm

so if this is the case what tabletop players would control ssl via usb? and I would run out usb ports on the mac?

If the Sixty eight is to act as the SL3, u would plug your cdj's/decks/whatever into the mixer, and 1x usb into ur laptop

simples

What about using 2 usb tabletop midi controllers? We would run out of usb inputs on the mac book.

4 decks is only possible with the Rane 68 right now. Adding midi controllers won't help.

Anybody know what specific DJ EFX are gonna be in V2.0?

There seems to be an increased number of videos on YouTube showing 2.0 being used on Mac's. I take it there must have been a beta release for that then.

Any news on a windows version?

Do you mean "any news of an unauthorized windows beta release that I can grab early?"

Serato has always released both Windows and Mac versions of authorized releases of ScratchLive at the same time. You can assume that they will do so this time as well.

When it's ready.

except VSL for PC. 2 years in and still unusable for many.

The plug-in is really pretty stable...it's the windows machines that are unstable. :)

Mixemergency is even more stable, and relaunches within 1 second IF the video crashes ... the audio doesn't stop playing !!!

but ..... where the hell is SL2 ?
Way in my brain !!!

altho that's the expected response, its still a contradiction as the software requires the OS in order to run.....easiest solution would have been to never release vsl on pc to begin with. (altho i really hope they discontinue it now after all this work)

that said i would prefer to wait for serato 2 to be stable.....i dont want to have spend my own money to be a beta tester again

uhhh i mean i hope they DONT discontinue it...


p.s. i think there are alot of bedroom djs using serato who will buy it for having the lots of features.....

then the rest are professionals who need stability so they dont lose money or face.

releasing/selling a knowingly unstable VSL for pc was either a mistake on serato's end in thinking that it would be easy to get the bugs out quickly or it was an attempt to market to the feature crazy bedroom djs.

but i hope serato goes back to its original philosophy of doing less things very well over doing many things badly.

Er, not quite. I am fully aware that I have to wait. I was just highlighting the fact that there seems to be an increase in the amount of demo videos which could indicate the OSX version is near release possibly meaning work is being done on the Windows version too. To be honest I'm hardly pissing my pants about it just interested in the development progress.

if there is no release date, does that mean they really dont know? but for marketing sake they released this info as soon as possible?

^^ that´s it. sad, but true.

I heard microsoft announced Windows X.

Where is SSL 2.0? C'mon Serato, the suspense is killing me!

www.serato.com

Here's another question... a) will Rane/Serato have a hospitality room at WMC 2010, and b) will they be demo-ing 2.0?

My guess is yes to both; sadly, I won't get to go this year....

oh... I will be there.... it's about an hour drive for me..lol.... can't wait........

hows the beta going so far guys ?

+7!

Yap, 5 cues just isn't enough!!

Serato, is there a technical reason there can't be more? (I've heard people requesting this for a while..)

I like the truth but the 1.9.1 version 2.0.0 was faster the screen will slow down a lot .... I prefer to lose SAMPLER FX and dull as I walk walk .... come He also walks the sluggish 1.9.2, 1.9.1 had the latency to 0 on my machine, in the newest versioens have put q 1 .... a shame ...

either no one knows or its like top secrect because no one has said or answered the question regarding the EFX types. I too am curious about this..

You mean what are the effects included? Braker (turntable slowing down), Bit Crusher, Delay, Echo, Low Pass Filter, High Pass Filter (both manual and LFO synced), Reverb, Repeater (like a loop sample beat masher), Reverser (same as Repeater just in reverse), and Tremolo.

All the features in 2.0 have been listed in the Bete release notes ...

Pay attention people !

bout time the full release was sorted and issued as it was stated end of march and we are now in april and its still not out

im seriously annoyed

Well, actually I'm seriously annoyed by that comment. It reminds me of a salesmanager who demands the deadline to be made, because he made promises to customers, not caring about quality and customer-satisfaction, just... getting the customer in and getting his commision... you know, the narrow-minded view, short term satisfaction.

Well, there's basically 2 choices:
A. Get stability and quality right, even if it means that you won't get the deadline
B. Sacrifice testing and stability in order to make the deadline.

And no, there is no middle ground, it's either A or B. And B is obviously a stupid choice, because even if released, it won't satisfy your needs since you will be again impatiently waiting for the patch-release that fixes all the issues they left in while rushing the software-release.

...

Imagine that you're standing in front of a large crowd, a club filled to the brim and suddenly you're music starts stuttering and glitching for 2 minutes, it won't stop, you switch to CD while troubleshooting the problem, Serato freezes your PC, you're rebooting, serato won't start up anymore, you re-install Serato only to find out that it thrashed and corrupted your Serato-database... Well, I think THAT would be a valid reason to be "seriously annoyed", not to mention "seriously embarrased".

So, if you had to choose, what would you like to take out DJ'ing? Something that acts like "Serato Scratch live", or something that only looks like SSL, but acts like Stanton Final Scratch 1.0 ?

Finally someone with some common sense

Time will tell.

I don't really understand how people can complain about the free software updates.
Scratch Live is a beta tested program, the Serato team don't know all the bugs until they get a big number of users working on finding them.

If you want to complain about time taken why not get the beta and put in some time testing it so it gets through that stage faster and you can stop being annoyed that your free updates aren't coming out fast enough.

EXACTLY!

I fail to understand as well why people complain about the free software updates. AFAIK, serato doesn't make any promises for future features when you buy your SL-interface. You get what you bought and additionally you'll get free software updates. But you didn't buy the right to demand features. Serato is one of the very few that actually provide free MAJOR software-updates with new functionalities. I don't see how that is a reason to be "Seriously annoyed". Of course, the alternative is to buy Traktor... and "being allowed" to pay for Major software-updates, you still don't get to demand new features and you will get much worse support... now, why doesn't that sound like something I want... :o)

Jah Rastafari , just chillout man when it come out, it come out, let the people work in peace nah, Rome wasn't built in a day.

BIG UP and BLESS THEM AT SERATO.

+1

:oD
True dat! True dat!

can rane 68 instant quad or triple? instead of only doubles?
