Serato makes colored vinyl. When is a picture disc going to be made? So ill!!
Imagine the Scratch Live Logo on both turntables while you're djing. I can't think of better promotion for Serato. Now that everyone uses SSL (that I know, atleast!) Slip mats with graphics are kind of pointless. When we used to mix vinyl recordings, every time we changed records, it was a chance for someone to see our slipmats. Maybe we were promoting a record label, an artist, whatever. With relative mode in SSL, we never take our records off of the platter. With picture discs, we could use the record itself to do promottions.
That's my first idea. Secondly, SSL could print up picture discs for other companies. Imagine, 50 Cent wants to promote his new album. Interscope G-unit, contacts SSL, and gets picture discs made of 50 cent on the SSL control vinyl. Then Interscope gets them to all the DJs. It's great promotion for the artist (it could be anyone, not just 50, It doesn't even have to be music. It could be a clothing company, anything really)This would be an additional way for SSL to generate income. SSL would also be involved first hand with promoting various artists,
companys or products..
I can't think of a more original way to do promotions. It's taking something that can obviously be done (picture discs have been made for decades) and updating it for the new market. It would generate even more buzz for SSL, and for whatever company wanted to source out SSL to make their special promtional picture discs...
I've thought this through. There is no downside to this. It's only a matter of getting all of the various parties in touch with one another. (Picture disc manufacturer, SSL, Promoting artist, Label, ETC.) COME ON. LET"S MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

things i wouldn't buy, but other djs probably would, is a big macro shot of krypy chonic weed (I don't smoke) or breasts... boobs. these are slipmats they always seem to make. but i would get ones of company's logos that i like to support, like SSL, technics, etc. not to mention record label logos, there are so many to choose from really... and some artists too..
i don't know why this hasn't happened yet...

I hit up serato on myspace and told them about this idea. after a day or so, someone hit me back and wrote,
"We have plans for many different control record in the future. Watch this space :) "
kind of vague, but i guess that means they're working on something. I wonder if it will be anything like the idea stated in this thread. I'm also presenting this idea to people at atlantic and at sony. if they knew it was an option, they would do it...

they have picture disc serato control records here:
www.jungle-life.com
they were selling them on turntablelab for a while but i guess they sold out. they are kinda weird looking, but I would rather look at those than a picture disc of 50 cent. but i guess to each his own...

that's great, thanx for the link! i was using 50 cent as an example. it can be anything, as we can see in those photos. i want to see a big serato logo. red on black. that would be dope.... i really don't know why this hasn't happened already. it would be such a great thing for serato. even more visibility in the club, in video and photos.

I'm for it... I could even see it being an anyone can get them printed as long as they do 500 or more thing or something like that and they could sell them themselves... just pay rane/serato up front... Love this idea
