@mojaxx Been watching you for a long time, I even got one of your “Playing TH-cam rips is not OK” shirts during Covid. That said, I just wanted to say I’m floored by your weight loss. Keep up the great work brother. 🤘
I remember I got serato scratch live when it first came out, shout to turntable lab, the guy told me to get it over Stanton final scratch and I never looked back, I use to do parties and people would come up and ask how are you doing this with a laptop, love you serato happy 25th
I was turned on to Serato Scratch Live while djing in NYC like 2005/6 to get off of CDs. Beautiful product, changed my life for sure and love it to this day. I’ve moved on, but fond memories. 😂
Serato Scratch Live could be considered a game changer in terms of adoption, thanks to the free format heavy North American market. Back in the days, Traktor Scratch, already on the market for many years, was considered the better system though. Partly thanks to their higher tone frequency. I remember watching Qbert videos about the comparison. Nowadays I wouldn't know, my exotic proprietary Tractor Scratch Pro cables haven't left my box full of left-over audio cables for ages.
Question, in the Pioneer DJM S11 version I no longer have the option to record directly into Ableton as I did with Serato Scratch Live directly and separated by channels in Ableton with all the fader and cross fader cuts, that is, I want to record from Serato in Ableton Live, each channel separately with its respective cuts? Scratch Live had this option to be able to record directly in multichannel. I find it incredible that these new devices do not have this record in ALS option. Or maybe I do have it and I haven't found it, but I don't think so.
@@DjEnvee1 wasn't ment offensife - it was a question as the video stated ssl was the first dvs system and i am just interested in the topic of history reguarding the tools i am using
Yes, but it didn’t go as mainstream. I think that’s what Mojaxx was getting at. I remember FS had issues, like others. I started early with Mix Vibes DVS, bcs it was the cheapest of the DVS systems
It 100% was, but it required far more CPU and RAM to run vs Serato. At the time the average Dj laptop was pretty cheap and not super fast, so Serato was an easy choice. This really parted the two products and Traktor never fully recovered - despite having a much better feature set and creative options. The extra bits are less intriguing if you are mostly concerned about scratching or mixed format sets, but for the warehouse Crowd they absolutely put Traktor above Serato. Still, Traktor never caught up. It’s a huge miss, IMHO, for NI. Even today, Traktor lags significantly behind & has some pretty awesome features. NI also released STEMS first, albeit in a way that wasn’t easily adopted. Again… cool idea, ahead of their time, missed the market.
@@MrFullyCharged i started with traktor 3 (not pro) and controllers (everything from a reloop digital jockey 2 with traktor 3, s4 mk2, s8) after switching from vinyl - never touched dvs tbh so i m quite interested in that topic. thank you for the insights.
Still rocking SL1 with scratch live in 2024 as purely vinyl dj does the job for me more than adequately,never had the same fun with cdj nor console tbh...
Still have my SL3 with an old laptop and an old rock solid stable version of Serato and works fine... will always work. Even use the SL3 as an audio interface in a pinch to record sets hooked to a newer computer. But gotta say the Reloop Flux has been the game changer for me. Better then the SL3 too! So many clubs and bars still have old or random gear and I can Serato it up anywhere! Thanks Reloop!
Just to be fair… NI did also released new scratch DVS Traktor vinyl this year. Also they have released limited edition DVS in collaboration with artists. 👍🏼
I started with the Rane 68 mixer with Serato Before that Vinyl and cds.I liked it because it was reliable as long as you looked after your computer. Also it was about as close to a regular vinyl set as you could get but with the digital tech.You can still make it as simple or as complex as you want and for me it has the best sound.The only gripe is that it is heavy on the cpu especially when mixing video so you have to a decent computer
I have the 25th anniversary vinyl, & when I drop mine on the groove, nothing happens. I checked in the settings and it didn’t unlock anything. Any ideas why?
So, you HAVE to pick these up if you want to unlock that easter egg? Or can we unlock it otherwise... orange and green are much easier on the eyes than white and blue in dark settings
Is there a list of retailers the vinyl will be available at? Hoping to grab some online since my city most likely won’t have a store that’s going to carry them
IMO it's a money grab based on nostalgia, supported by the blind box method of collecting that makes it even worse for consumers if you are trying to buy the one color you like. How about making control vinyl with built in magnets that phase controllers can snap on to?
@@djdaps1 it's not a money grab. Serato makes money mostly from software licenses. This is another source of income in the form of a product people will enjoy. That's just business.
@@DjEnvee1 Let's say you wanted a specific color of control record and didn't get it. You'd have to buy another set in hopes that you'd get it, and if you don't you have to buy another set. That's a money grab and it's the oldest collecting gimmick that spans across the history of sports cards, comic books and toys🙄
@@MrMartelo Swapping is definitely an option if you have friends who are also willing to trade. Obviously straight trades are easiest if you're doing it in person. Not everybody has that circle of friends/community willing to do this. I agree with your point though.
Does this scratchlive skin apply to regular controller use , i habe a sl3 box , but dong use it anymire , but i love the scratchlive skin over the serato dj , anyday
This is what Serato became today. For all Pro-Licence-Users an ***kick again, to paywall this option. We don't forget, that Serato have discontinued the Rane Boxes, that have make this company great today.
This is a common misunderstanding. Serato didn't discontinue the Rane boxes, Rane did. Serato only makes the DJ software. Rane made the boxes, so they were responsible for keeping the hardware (firmware) updated. Rane decided they didn't want to spend the time/money to keep them updated. Also, the Rane boxes still work, you just have to use an older version of Serato. If you want to use the latest version of Serato DJ, then the Reloop Flux is your best option. Lastly, if you're not happy with Serato, switch to a different software. There are plenty of other options out there.
@@DiskJockeyRisk Serato discontinued the Box in his software. But nice try to influence the Reloop Flux. I'm not happy with Serato DJ, but happy with Scratch Live.
@westerwald-sirenen7016 I'm not trying to argue or change your mind. I'm just providing information. As I stated previously, Serato didn't discontinue anything. Quoted from Serato, "...these devices no longer receive driver and firmware updates from the manufacturer, which allows them to function correctly." Key word MANUFACTURER. Also, I'm not trying to influence you to get the Reloop Flux. I mentioned it as an alternative option. Lastly, if you're happy with Scratch Live, you can continue to use it with the Rane boxes. No one is forcing you to stop using Rane boxes or Scratch Live. The point of my reply was that there are so many options out there. So use the gear/software that you like the most... whatever that may be.
@@DiskJockeyRisk Thats the facts. Recommend macOS for SL 2-4 are max. 10.15 (Catalina) Last SDJ-Version support Catalina: 2.6.2 Last SDJ-Version support Rane-Boxes: 2.5.5 Recommend Windows SL 2-4 are max. 10 Last SDJ-Version Windows 10: Current 3.2.2 Last SDJ-Version support Rane-Boxes: 2.5.5 Why Rane-Boxes didn't support till 2.6.2 ?

@westerwald-sirenen7016 The SL3 was released in 2009 and was supported until 2021. At 12 years, I wouldn't call it a "Short-Life." What other tech industries/companies are supporting their products longer than that?
I just think it’s unfair to everyone else that has serato Dj pro because if I want to get this I would have to go buy Vinyl player and pay for the it all😢
Serato Scratch Live from the past was developed by Rane which has a different software engine than Serato DJ Pro . SSL sound is better than Serato DJ Pro . There is just a skin and nothing more . I did more tests and compare Serato DJ pro vs. SSL vs Traktor . Traktor Pro 3 still have a better sound like SSL. Serato from today looks like a toy including too many colors and features. I used SSL and now Traktor 2 & 3 . Rekordbox , is just a copy paste with more bugs in my opinion . RIP Serato Scratch Live 2.5 😢
Just a quick note - Serato have confirmed to me that the OG Scratch Live vinyl was also 140g, so these are the same weight as those.
Looks like everyone is going to be “sharing” this vinyl with each other just to unlock the skin.

I really wish they would have done a bit more of an update for those who still own and use the SL3 hardware.
I just wish they would bring back the bright green color for the played tracks. great vid.
This would only apply to us old-school DJs who’ve had it back in the early 2000s . New DJs would be like what the heck is that?

What I didn’t really touch on here was the older Easter eggs… Pong, AM Mode, Sticker Lock, etc.

pong and the auto roll out keyboard shortcut
AM Mode definitely ✌
Marty, harmonic distortion, superfilter, pink itch mode, Traktor mode, and a few more 🙊

I'm still looking for it too 😂
im here for it too
Awesome
Hope they will show up In canada a would love a set
Not the Lamborghini!!! Nice 💪🏽

What i would love to see mojaxx...is that i would like to see serato add a scratch live skin to serato dj pro.
So, you HAVE to pick these up if you want to unlock that easter egg? Or can we unlock it otherwise... orange and green are much easier on the eyes than white and blue in dark settings
that's what it seems like, hopefully in the near future they will add it in the firmware update or a third party
He explained everything in the video
So kool - I want this 🔥
So you have to purchase a vinyl to unlock the skin?
Yes
You get a one time code
Is there a list of retailers the vinyl will be available at? Hoping to grab some online since my city most likely won’t have a store that’s going to carry them
does it support the rane one
If i understand correctly you'll need to get the 25th anniversary cv to unlock the ssl skin?
Anyone trying to send me that tone so I can play it off my iPhone into my s9 to unlock the theme
Let me know if anyone gets it!
I still love virtual dj

Definitely miss the old look
The original idea was for it to reveal a rekordbox dj skin but things kinda didn’t work out😂
This is so nerdy but cool!
this is cool.... serato diehard here....
so you can switch between serato dj pro software and scratch live
As he said in the video …. Yes
No, its just pro with the same colours and logo as scratch live
Serato needs to step their game up, djay Pro is looking really good these days.
Exactly!! What a waist of time. They are trynna get money from nostalgia 🤦🏾♂️. Meanwhile…They are losing the dj battle by Djay and VDJ 😂😂
I'll be using these with djay pro actually.
@@djstuc they updated it. So easy to import tracks! It’s compatible with so much more hardware now
doubt.
Hardly 🙄
Maybe they can make it work with the new Ableton release again... relaunch the BRIDGE.
I wish we could just change the colour to orange anyway!
Don‘t want to miss out on these but as of now all I can find is a 5x12“ pack for EUR 300.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this might actually make Jam try serato dj pro.. although i wont hold my breath😂
its not workin on my Serato I've got the right version of Serato and the blue 25years vinyl
If someone can record the new control tone to mp3, it might be possible to use the control tone on a CDJ to unlock the theme. Maybe? 😁
Scratchlive sound is way better than all the Serato DJS version.
Anyway
Anyone in Seattle or LA picking these up so I can nab that skin?? 😈
