Hey everyone,

It's been a good 6 years since the launch of ScratchLive.net. It's served us all well (Serato, Rane, and most of all - you!) but it's time for us to throw up our lighters and say goodbye.

Goodbye ScratchLive.net

From September 20th 2010 we'll be redirecting all visits to ScratchLive.net on to Serato.com. We have exactly the same content on Serato.com (since ScratchLive.net is a subset of the content on Serato.com) so you won't be missing out on anything. The layout is exactly the same too. The only difference you'll notice is that there are a few differences in style (colors, fonts, backgrounds, etc).

Why are we doing this?

The main reason is that it's confusing for new customers. We've often been asked "What site should I visit?" Other customers follow links and end up on a site that looks slightly different but has similarities to the site they were on. In this case less is definitely more.

Another reason is that maintaining a single website will mean we'll be able to make new web features faster.

Does this have any effect on Scratch Live? What about the relationship between Rane and Serato?

Rane and Serato will continue their drive to make Scratch Live the best solution for Professional DJs. Both companies feel that it will be much simpler for everyone with one place to go for information.

But I like the look of ScratchLive.net!

In that case, give us your feedback here -> serato.com

We'll see what we can do to make the transition easier.
