6/21/2023 0 Comments Serato scratch live cheap![]() I never felt the need or want to have more cue points or even effects. I was on the whole update bandwagon a year prior but realized the software & hardware was stable enough for me. Why? Well SSL and my SL1 work fine as is. When Serato announced all that jazz about SeratoDJ and hardware this and hardware that and oooh 8 cue points I was like wow but at the same time I didn't really feel the need to upgrade. Haven't really felt the need to update and now upgrade/downgrade(depending on your stance) to SertaoDJ. ![]() I think the last time I updated SSL was like mid last year. I'm a 'run it to the ground type of person'. Anyone else have any thoughts or feedback on this internal debate? I think that using the full setup with controller and S元 will influence my thinking, but I don't know how. I don't want to be the old guy who sticks to an outdated format because of force of habit, but I also don't want to follow the flock and do something just because that's what everyone else is doing. On the other hand, I feel like my mixes are less creative and my technique seems limited by the functionality of using a controller. I also think it's fun to have FX at my fingertips, be able to sample and loop on a dime, and experiment. I don't really have that much interest in having 4 live decks, but I think it will be a lot of fun to be able to blend 2 tracks easily and sync them, while getting creative with vinyl and scratching. I've been playing with a trial version of Serato DJ and just downloaded the latest beta of 1.6 so I can try mixing with 4 decks and use my original S元. ![]() Serato Scratch Live has suited my needs so far.įast forward to now, I just bought a cheap controller (Pioneer DDJ-SB) to use for mobile gigs and screwing around at home. My strength I feel is in song selection, blending, and scratching, so the manual transitions I do don't require FX, samples, loops, or any of that. There's not a whole lot flashy about it, very few bells and whistles, but I don't really care. I still do gigs here and there and bring a crate of vinyl, my laptop, turntables and some control vinyl and it legitimately still feels like I'm using vinyl. And Serato SL worked great for that purpose. I got Serato so I could do the exact same thing, but use all the music I already owned and avoid carrying 200 pounds of records to every gig and draining my bank account. Between the cost of constantly buying new vinyl, the weight of lugging it around, the damage my collectoion was taking and the difficulty in finding the jams, I needed to evolve. I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks.įirst off, I bought an S元 when I saw that I wasn't going to be able to make it as a mobile DJ, club DJ or hiphop DJ using just vinyl. Anyways, I just started using Serato DJ for the first time after using Scratch Live for probably 2 years, and I'm starting to form some opinions of what I like and dislike about each. I haven't been around for a while so it might be a long-dead topic, so excuse me if that's the case. I didn't see a post anywhere on this topic, so I thought I'd bring it up.
