Scratch Live scratched — becomes Serato DJ 1.5 with DVS
A historic day has arrived. Serato has announced the introduction of Serato DJ 1.5, complete with DVS, meaning the retirement of Serato Scratch Live.
Since its inception in 1999, Serato has been at the cutting edge of audio software innovation, enabling DJs, producers and artists to take their creativity and performance to the next level. The brand’s first-ever product, Pitch ’n Time, has become the industry standard for time-stretching audio and forms the backbone of the company’s core product, Serato DJ. One of the most widely used and powerful DJ software tools available today, Serato DJ is constantly updated with new features and is revered by the most iconic DJs of our time. Serato has also established itself as a leading brand in music production with Serato Sample and Serato Studio, which have become go-to tools for Sample-based producers and beat-makers alike. In 2022 and 2023, Serato transformed the industry once again through the introduction of its real-time stem-splitting technology Serato Stems across its product range, to global and industry acclaim. Serato’s advanced suite of music production tools provides creators with endless possibilities for producing, sampling and remixing music that will continue to drive culture forward.

Prepare to have your retinas scorched by the latest Serato control vinyl range. Behold the Serato Neon series.

The iPad has a place in every DJ's setup. And as DJ Cheeba shows, he uses his with TouchOSC to control key elements of his setup from a single screen.

Rane's website has looked a little pedestrian for a while. So it's cool to see it get a long overdue makeover.

Serato DJ has been upgraded today, most notably with new multi FX. I unboxed a Pioneer DDJ-SX and had a closer look.

If digital DJing was a game, the Pioneer DDJ-SX would be the boss level. Crammed to the gills with Serato DJ power, it is the current controller don.

Only Serato has the brand kudos to offload a horrendous QC error as a desirable classic. 40% off control vinyl while stocks last.
