It's real. Just need to figure out how to activate it. Whether it's already baked into v3.2.1, or needs a newer version, who knows.

This is an Easter egg in the software unlocked by having the upcoming 25th anniversary CV and placing your turntable needle on a certain section of side A. Once it’s unlocked, it’s forever.

25 years my ass...if the sale had taken place, at this time $erato would be the name of a yacht, the 25 years celebration would take place in the ship deck and the software we use would be renamed to gamma quantum something and needed a subscription for almost everything...now "back to the roots" to try to recover the lost credibility? Ha!

This^. I still have nostalgia for Scratch LIVE but Serato lost a lot of street cred in the DJ world due to their shady practices during the attempted sale.
It's like finally meeting your favorite celebrity only to be severely disappointed because they suck as a human being.

So I bought the Special Edition Serato vinyl for Scratch Live Skin today and they are blue. After carefully checking side A on both records neither one of them got Scratch Live Forever etched on them. Could these be regular serato vinyl because I cannot find the grove in the record of side A to activate Scratch Live Skin in the software and using 3.2.1 Serato DJ version

DJ G-Rebel
7:16 AM - 1 October, 2024
That basically can't be...
It's where the needle runs fromk the last track to the clear spot where the INS mode is enabled!

No No. You need to let the record run from the section before the last spot to the last spot. I think then it should activate

If it said Blue on the outside Sleeve then they are not the limited edition 25th anniversary vinyl. No one is supposed to know which color they get as it’s a surprise.

No No. You need to let the record run from the section before the last spot to the last spot. I think then it should activate
So I went back to the store and bought another set of Serato 25th anniversary vinyl and when I open up the package I got the orange vinyl which is the one that I want and tested them and boom it activated the Scratch Live Skin. I let Serato know about the problem of the first set that I got which are the Blue once and they said it a manufacturing defect so in other words suck it up and deal with it. So to everyone check you Serato 25th anniversary vinyl make sure that it is engrave with Scratch Live Forever or else they will not work like my first set that I got.

He is not wrong, the theme should also unlock for people owning the OG control vinyl. I still have some, but nope, gotta spend another 50$ unless someone would be kind enough to send me an mp3.
Serato reminiscing about the SL Boxes on Instagram is also questionable, if you feel so nostalgic about them, how about you restore support for them? Yada yada, rane is responsible for driver support.
You'd think something like a skin would be free, companies don't feel any shame these days and should be called out for it

Feel free to criticize them in a constructive way, but name calling says more about you that about Serato. 🤷🏾♂️

@sparky, not here to disagree with you, just thought it was funny you going all in on them, attracting the ban hammer. The lack of ability to edit posts has worked out quite amusing this time with that death comment, certainly tickled me 🤣, I understood though.
@despo I’m the first person to preach to people to ‘let it goooooo, let it gooooooooo’ when it comes to SL boxes, but that little charade on insta was completely tone deaf. Mojaxx most popular ever video is based around their shadiness and sound cards, how they haven’t read the room with that one I don’t know… mind blowing.

100% fact!!
This is just another one of their low blows to the people who have supported them year after year!!
And then to sit here and watch everyone’s reactions/response 🤯 Like I said this is just yet another thing Serato “chooses to hide” from their customers to grab money and they’re here just foaming at the mouth for something that should just be given up years ago!! I’d laugh but it’s actually pretty sad…..

And then to sit here and watch everyone’s reactions/response 🤯 Like I said this is just yet another thing Serato “chooses to hide” from their customers to grab money and they’re here just foaming at the mouth for something that should just be given up years ago!! I’d laugh but it’s actually pretty sad…..

I wonder how long the novelty will last for this skin and what this Market Research will yield for them. While I understand the want for the skin, I've been using the default SDJ Pro for so long that I much rather it.

Maybe it took a large amount of development $$$ so Serato needs to recoup the costs?
OR is Serato taking a page out of the Pioneer DJ(Alpha Theta) playbook? What's next... a monthly paid subscription to unlock the 'Scratch LIVE' skin??!!
I do feel somewhat nostalgic for Scratch LIVE but this whole marketing rollout seems very disingenuous. It just feels like a money grab IMHO.

I think i found the command, havent much time to look into it further right now but I'm sure someone here can get that into an XML or figure out the key combo or where to click as it appears there may also be a way to unlock it without vinyl or using midi commands,

anyone able to assist as i think "custom_key_1" is the command I'm just unfamiliar with how to get that into a compatible string, I'm sure I'll figure it out but if anyone knows it might speed it up
also there may be a key combo to unlock it, was trying various combos but couldn't get it to activate

yo I think this is a cool little fun easter egg. I don't plan on purchasing the vinyl but what is so wrong with them releasing a bonus feature along with it? Makes the special edition vinyl even more special and collectible.
I think it's a bit ridiculous to flame serato for not making this free to everyone. Then what makes it unique? Just because you make a purchase/etc from a company doesn't mean you are entitled to every subsequent thing they release in perpetuity.
idk I just say chill a bit and respect the unlock cheat code.

What I would like to say is that I collect vinyl and I also use Serato but obviously the 25th anniversary vinyl that I got is defective. I messaged serato through instagram and who ever replied back to me said that “it’s a manufacturer defect and that they were going to look into it” so I said ok I’ll just suck it up with my $50 that I spend even though I have been loyal from almost the beginning of Serato 🤔. They said that they cannot refund me because I bought them through a retailer which Serato does not sell vinyl through there website they only tell you where to buy them 🤦🏻♂️. I wonder if Serato would do the same if a famous DJ for example DJ JAZZY JEFF, MOJAXX, and many other would have the same issue that I have🤔. But that corporate people after they become big!!!

Definition of a paywall: A paywall is a method of restricting access to content, with a purchase or a paid subscription, especially news
in this case The scratchlive skin is restricted unless you pay for the special timecode vynil to unlock said easter egg, Brand new or second hand
I think Despo is correct.

Maybe if they didn't discontinue support for the SL4 new control vinyls would be an idea for more users. I suspect there's a large contingent of people still using Serato DJ 2.5.5 to keep their SL hardware useful - the new vinyl doesn't add any value if the "easter egg" is Serato v3 only :)
Hearing that some users bought the vinyl and it's missing the part to unlock seems like there are issues with quality checking as well.
There's been a day mode for a few years now, so the skin support has likely been there a while, just unfortunate there's pay to play tactics going on.

depending on how bad you want the skin ask your buddy for his plist file, take a copy of yours and overwrite it on your mac,
if it works you should see the check box under the display tab in the settings
it that doesn't work ask for a copy of his Serato_ folder, he can leave out the database_v2 and the backup folder as it may not be needed or the, take a copy of yours put it somewhere safe so you don't lose your database and overwrite it with his, see if that unlocks the setting
I'd assume $erato will release it anyhow by the end of the month but if you want to speed up things thats what I'd recommend,
the chase of all this is more exciting then having the skin and the skin will most likely not work once they make any change to the GUI in the future

This is so disappointing...I purchased one set from an authorized seller, MixFoundation in NZ...in Serato's backyard! Had it shipped all the way to the USA and waited 2 weeks for it....costed almost double of what the suggested retail price is with the international shipping....blindly got a pair of blue control vinyls....these are the correct 25th Anniversary editions with the "Scratch Live Forever" etching on the record....I played both vinyls on side A in its entirety, twice for each record, and it did not do anything to unlock the Easter egg SSL skin. I even tried needle dropping it on where the extra grooves are and nothing. My SDJ was version 3.2.1 and so then I updated to 3.2.2 and tried again and still no Easter egg.
And then I checked here and read about "Bernard's" experience several posts above and it sounds exactly like the negative results as I experienced. Am I doing something user-error or did I get majorly ripped off?? I played it on the CRSS12.
Returning it to the retailer is not an option, and I'm sure the 1500 units are all sold out by now.

im glad you got it to work because I did everything to try to make it work. On my blue vinyl I even check for the etching on the vinyl and it was missing the crazy thing is that I sold them to my friend and I told him about the problem but weirdly he still bought them because he loves the color 🤷♂️ so he kept them. Through out all of this I contacted Serato they were giving me a hard time at first but finally they accepted responsibility and told me to take them back to the retail that I that they were going to give me back my money actually the retail store call me back and said they were going to refund my money but I told them that my friend kept them and they really wanted those records back so maybe those records are more special then the other records 🤷♂️. Serato did said that it’s a manufactured defect so we’re going to take them back so please everyone don’t be to hard on serato 😬😁. ✌🏼

This is how things should be, the deal was done throught the store you bought the vynil from if theres is an issue they should refund your money, then the retailer deals with Serato the supplier.

Through out all of this I contacted Serato they were giving me a hard time at first but finally they accepted responsibility and told me to take them back to the retail that I that they were going to give me back my money actually the retail store call me back and said they were going to refund my moneyThis is how things should be, the deal was done throught the store you bought the vynil from if theres is an issue they should refund your money, then the retailer deals with Serato the supplier.

that true the problem is that some retailers will not accept vinyl back like Sweetwater and when I call my retailer to let them know about the issue they were very if if about the problem but finally call me back said they were going to refund my money.

true, I also suspect that its one of those situation that they think you go home and rip the audio sound from the vynil then ask for a refund. but glad you got your refund:)

the next day after I purchase those blue vinyl I bought another set and those were the ones that activated the Scratch Live Skin and those do have the etching on the vinyl.

1. Not having the etching is suspect as it seems someone could have stolen the vinyl by slicing the cellophane and putting standard blue vinyls in. It happens on online stores often where unscrupulous people swap products to get free or better spec stuff. It’s downright theft but Amazon and others are rife with it. No matter how good that seal looked, it could have happened. Not coming from an official outlet so close to them being launched could mean someone resold them.
2. There was an issue where someone inserted the wrong vinyl at the pressing plant. I’m less likey to believe this as they had limited edition vinyl fail last time and they wouldn’t be burnt with that again, but accidents do happen.
I’m going with stolen. Someone purchased them slipped their own blue in, took yours out and sent them back by trading in or reselling. Not having that etching means it didn’t come from the 25 year anniversary vinyl stamper at the pressing plant. That will be the same one used throughout the production run so surely more would be affected?
I have two brand new sealed blue vinlys that came with my SL3 back in 2008-ish. Somwone dodgy could swap them out by finding a way to reseal.
Could you post a photo of the vinyl label? I’m super curious to see if my theory is right and if there’s any copyright dates or other marks that would explain it.

It seems that when it comes to anniversary vinyl Serato always celebrate it with a fail. remember the white ones they had to replace to every owner? That was the 20th, right? Maybe is on purpose so the anniversary is even more remembered? :)

so, for us no we bought this vinyl we will not be able to have the SSL skin, we should have the thanks of serato that unlocks it for everyone maybe in a few years. So if we wait we are fine as the stretch of the waveform for those who use the dvs

If you ask in the right places on the Internet, you'll find the way to do it without the Control Vinyl.

Audiooutput from your device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, CDJ, whatever) into rca audio input (line) in of your Serato (DVS capable) hardware.
Switch Serato DVS settings to line/CDJ input, choose relative mode on the playing deck, playback the audiofile from your device, wait until the popup window, done.

I've heard the process described as follows. Get the file, connect somehthing to send the signal through your DVS enabled hardware. COuld burn it to a CD and even play it through a CD or even a DVD / Bluray Player with the Mixer or Controller in Rel mode and it just takes a few minute when it gets to the part...

Just remember for some, $50, converts to $400 and they aren't millionaires. But as metrolex2005 said, ..."He without sin..."...
Serato is a business, some of us are hobbyists, some are micro businesses that also have to survive.
