Scratch Live is a vinyl emulation software application created by New Zealand based Serato Audio Research, distributed by and licensed exclusively to Rane Corporation. Serato was first known for its Pro Tools plug-in, Pitch N Time, which was sold predominantly to the film industry.[1]
Scratch Live allows manipulation and playback of digital audio files using traditional vinyl turntables or CD players via special timecode vinyl records or CDs.
Serato DJ delivers all the features and performance to meet the demands of DJs at the top of their game and sets the new standard for controller DJs. Interoperable with Scratch Live, ITCH, DJ.
The product is discontinued and has been replaced by Serato DJ.
Video-SL[edit]
In 2008, Serato released the first major plugin for Scratch Live, Video-SL. It allows the playback of video files in similar fashion to audio files. Users can apply effects in real time and mix between video independently of audio.
A demo copy can be installed and used but a watermark is displayed on the main output screen. Activation is done via a serial number.
Video-SL was later replaced by a new designed video plugin called 'Serato Video'.
Custom hardware[edit]
Scratch Live currently works in conjunction with five application specific audio devices designed and manufactured for the system by Mukilteo, Washington-based Rane Corporation.
SL4[edit]
The latest audio interface is the SL4. It is the first standalone DJ interface with two USB 2.0 ports for seamless DJ changeover and back-to-back performances. It also has 96 kHz, 24-bit audio. The SL4 has built in galvanic isolation between USB and audio, with turn on/off muting. The unit also includes Low-latency ASIO and Core Audio drivers which allow the SL4 to be used as a studio production tool with third-party software applications.
SL3[edit]
The SL3 is another audio interface for Scratch Live. Features include a USB 2.0 interface, improved dynamic range (120 dB), improved audio performance (24 bit converters) and additional audio channels with AUX input and output. Like the SL2 it also has 48.0 kHz, 24-bit audio. The extra channel allows the DJ to record his/her music set, use a sampler while performing or connect a third player for three deck mixing.
SL2[edit]
The SL2 is the audio interface set to replace the older SL1 interface.[2] The unit has 2 inputs which can be used both as phono or line input, but unlike the old SL1 interface it doesn't have a microphone input and it has only 2 line outputs and no 'thru' outputs. It also features improvements to the sound quality. Whereas the SL1 interface had 16-bit 44.1 kHz audio, the SL2 now has 24-bit 48khZ audio with USB2.0 and Core Audio/ASIO support.[3]
SL1[edit]
The SL1 is a multi-channel, USB 1.1 external soundcard. The unit has inputs for two stereo turntables or CD players and one unbalanced microphone. There are two stereo line level outputs and two 'thru' outputs which provide a copy of the input signal to enable playback of regular vinyl records or CDs. ASIO drivers are available for the unit to allow it to be used by other Windows applications as a multi channel sound interface. There are no Core Audio drivers for Macintosh-based computers. The SL1 interface is no longer in production, but is still supported.[4]
MP4[edit]
A 19' rack mount DJ mixer based on the MP2, incorporating the sound card functions of the SL1. The MP4 allows you to record your set digitally within the Scratch Live software over the USB interface. The mixer is recognized by Windows as a 4x output 2x input soundcard so it can be used with any windows application. Also provided are ASIO and Core Audio drivers for use in audio applications on both Windows XP and Mac OS X.
TTM 57SL[edit]
Serato Scratch Live Sound Effects Video
A DJ mixer combining the functionality of the SL1 with an application specific control surface based on the popular TTM56 scratch mixer. It also contains added effects not available with the TTM56 or bare SL1 set-ups.
Sixty-Eight[edit]
Announced at NAMM 2010, the Sixty-Eight is a 4 channel club style mixer with 2 separate USB inputs. Via ScratchLive 2.0 it adds support for up 4 real or virtual deck combinations.
Supported third party accessories[edit]
Serato have begun working in supporting third party players/controllers with the Scratch Live software. These controllers are 'natively' supported and do not require the use of the timecode CDs, all playback and control information is sent over USB. The following are the currently supported native controllers:
- Denon DN-HC1000S
- Denon DN-HC4500
- Novation Dicer (versions 2.1 and above)
- Pioneer CDJ-2000 (versions 2.1 and above)
- Pioneer CDJ-900 (versions 2.1 and above)
- Pioneer CDJ-850
- Pioneer CDJ-400
- Pioneer CDJ-350
- Pioneer MEP-7000
- Vestax VFX-1

The TTM 57SL is an audio mixer console, also known as a DJ mixer, designed by Rane Corporation. Rane and their software partner Serato, also known as Serato Scratch Live, teamed up together to create the TTM 57SL from Rane's prior TTM 56 disc jockey DJ mixer. The unique feature of this DJ mixer is that Serato and Rane brought their respective software and mixer hardware to create a hybrid mixer integrating two products into one, thus making it the first DJ mixer of its kind.
Features[edit]
From the mixer's control panel of the TTM 57SL one can:
- Control Effects
- Set and Use Cue Point
- Edit Loops and Loop Songs
- Navigate Through the Library
- Load Tracks
- Record
Joysticks and P Knobs[edit]
Unlike other DJ mixers, the TTM 57SL has Joysticks, J1 and J2, which spread out the features of the TTM 57SL mixer. The joysticks J1 and J2 can:[1]
- Temporary Reverse a Song
- Rewind or Fast-forward Through a Song
- Change the BPM Multiplier for Effects
- Set Temporary Cue Points
- And other features
P1 and P2 knobs also have special usage which expand the TTM 57SL’s functions. Usage of the P1 and P2 knobs includes:[2]
- Start and End Loop
- Editing Loops
- Scrolling Through Library Songs
- Change how Wet or Dry an Effect is
- Uploading Song to Deck 1 or Deck 2
- And other features
Effects[edit]
Unlike the TTM 56, the TTM 57SL includes effects that can be used internally from the mixer. Also, a list of different effects can be chosen from Serato’s software Scratch Live. Like many dj mixers with effects, the TTM 57SL has knobs for the effects usage. The effects can be changed to fit the BPM,[3] beats per minute, or how dry or wet the effect is, how much of the effect is heard. Originally, the TTM 57SL was shipped with two effects, Echo and LFO Filter;[4] however, more effects have been added since then. The TTM57 also allows two effects to be used at the same time, which other dj mixers do not. These two effects can be simultaneously assigned to:[5]
- Microphone
- AUX bus
- Main Mix
- PGM 1
- PGM 2
- Fader
The big difference from the TTM 57SL and other dj mixers with effects is the controllability that the TTM 57SL has on its software, Serato, straight from the mixer. The TTM 57SL also has 6 switches[6] that control the effects:
- Two Rotary Knobs (P1 and P2)
- Two Joysticks (J1 and J2)
- Two Buttons (Group and Deck selection)
Cue Points[edit]
Cue points are visible markers which are set in a part of a song and are mostly, in djing, used to mark a special place in a song. The TTM 57SL dj mixer has this unique feature of inserting cue points straight from this dj mixer—up to 5 cue points[7] can be set.
Looping[edit]
Loops, in djing, are portions of a song which are repeated over and over again. DJ looping started in Hip Hop where djs would repeat a certain part of a song so the crowd and break-dancers can dance to, this may also be known as the breaks. The TTM 57SL dj mixer loops songs simultaneously by the push of a button. This unique feature of looping is also editable to either extend or shorten the loop by using the knobs on the mixer.
Navigating Through Library[edit]
Another unique feature of the TTM 57SL is its ability to navigate through the library[8] from the mixer. From the TTM 57SL, using the P knobs, song can be uploaded to either deck 1 or deck 2 (left deck or right deck).
Recording[edit]
Unlike other dj mixers, the TTM 57SL allows a DJ set or DJ mix, an entire or parts of a DJ's mixing, to be recorded.[9] Vocals or sounds can also be recorded[10] through a microphone and then used in a DJ mix. Like the effects, TTM 57SL records through 6 signal paths:[11]
- AUX Bus
- Microphone
- Main Mix
- PGM 1
- PGM 2
- Fader
Sound Card[edit]
Another unique feature of the TTM 57SL is that it can also be used as a standalone[12]sound card,[13] also known as an audio card. The TTM 57SL has a sound card integrated that can be used through the USB cable when not using Serato.
Changes from the TTM 56[edit]
Rane's previous mixer, the TTM 56, was similar[14] in many respects to the TTM 57SL. The TTM 57SL is slight bigger than the TTM 56.[17] The TTM 57 is 13.3'H x 10'W (33.782 cm x 25.4 cm)[18] and the TTM 56 is 13.05'H x 9'W. (33.147 x 22.9 cm) [19].
Top Panel[edit]
One of the biggest changes seen at first sight is that they added more mixing buses, knobs that are on the mixer.[15] INPUT knobs, PAN knobs, Deck button, Group button, J1 and J2 Joysticks, P1 and P2 Knobs, Stereo House button, EQ Kill Switch, Channel Swap button, Booth knob, and B1 – B6 buttons have been added to the top of the mixers control panel. This gives the user more control and the mixer more features from the top panel.

Front Panel[edit]
In the front of the TTM 57SL they added footswitch jack right next the headphone jack for hands-free functions in Scratch Live. There are also two head phone jacks, a quarter inch and one-eighth inch, for more variety of headphones. They removed the mode button that was on the TTM 56. Also, the TTM 57SL does not have the 'Contour A' and 'Contour B' cross fader knobs in the front, along with the reverse button and moved it to the top of the panel for more control.[16]
Rear Panel[edit]
Only a few things changed from the rear panel. The phono-grounds, from the TTM 57SL, were moved closer to the power outlet so everything would not be so closed-in together and for free space. The AUX Out and In RCA jacks were moved next to the PGM1 and PGM2 RCA jacks so all the RCA’s jacks could be next to each other. Also, all the TRS Jacks, also known as Quarter Inch jacks, have been moved together for organization. 3 Point Jacks have been added for Main outputs. A USB output was also added to connect the TTM 57SL with a computer.
