Rane Serato Scratch Live DJ Hardware & Software Rane Serato Scratch Live DJ Hardware & Software
Want to try this before you buy? Then visit our Digital DJ Demo Room at out Store in Lincoln, it's on live demo & ready for you to try!

Scratch LIVE is the ultimate software and hardware solution for bridging the analog world of vinyl and the digital world of computer audio files. Using regular turntables or CD players, you can scratch and mix files from your Mac or Windows computer's CD or hard drive, add in a live mic input for scratching, and even bypass to standard vinyl if you wish. Scratch LIVE is the complete digital solution for the vinyl junkie -- take your entire collection wherever you go and leave your precious vinyl at home!

The SL 1 interface connects one or two standard vinyl or CD turntables to your computer. This extremely rugged, portable, high quality, bus-powered USB interface features two switchable phono or line inputs, a microphone input, two line outputs, and pass thru outputs for the phono/line and mic.

The included 12" vinyl records each have a Serato exclusive and unique control signal which allows Scratch LIVE to track the motion of the record, simulating the same movement with digital audio. Due to Serato's proprietary control scheme, the result is a feel and sound indistinguishable from playing vinyl. As a producer and DJ, the track you finished today can be played on a real turntable tonight. You'll never have to cut a dubplate again!

Scratch LIVE supports all these file formats: Fixed and Variable Bit Rate MP3, AIFF, WAV, OGG Vorbis, CD Audio and direct from the mic input.
Easily import your playlists and iTunes library.
Import files easily by dragging from Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac) into the Scratch LIVE library.
You can play and scratch tracks direct from CD and CD-ROM.
Includes extensive keyboard shortcuts for fast access to key functions.
Built-in help and tips in multiple languages are accessible anytime.
It even gives you a low power warning when running off a laptop battery.
No preprocessing of MP3 files is required except to use the auto-BPM and auto-gain functions.
For tracks with no BPM information, a tap tempo button is displayed for entering your own.
Scratch LIVE includes hardware interface, USB cable, 4 stereo RCA cables, printed manual, keyboard shortcut page, two vinyl records, two CDs, and software install disc in a display box.
System Requirements:
The minimum operating system requirements are either a 1 GHz Mac G4 with OSX 10.3, or a 1.5 GHz PC running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, either with 1G of ram or more.

Versions 1.7.2 and higher include support for the Microsoft Vista operating system. Note that we recommend Windows XP over Vista, most notably for performance reasons. You will be able to run XP at a lower USB buffer setting, meaning lower latency and better performance using XP than is achievable with Vista.

Cortex HDC3000 Digital Music Controller
Cortex HDC3000 Digital Music Controller

NEW LOWER PRICE!!

Music has touched the deepest parts of the human cortex since the dawn of time. Cortex is proud to bring you the smartest DJ equipment on this planet. The music world is yours to rule. Own it.

Intelligent Music Database Management:
The HDC-3000 uses a database management system that allows the user to search through a massive library of music within seconds, by artist, title, genre, album or even by string. This unit also allows users to find their top 100 most played tracks, the last 100 played, or what tracks were recently added to the storage device.

PC-Based Database Creation:
Users can create databases via the HDC unit or the PC application and quickly manage those database files at a gig, or on a home computer. Search Options The cataloging system gives you several browsing options, including Search by Artist, Song, Title, Album, and Genre. This system allows users to search the same way they would using an iPod® or similar portable music player.

String Search:
Users can search by a certain word or phrase to find tracks on their storage device, even if they’re unsure of the name. When the user inputs a keyword, it will search all Artists, Titles, Albums, and Genres, and show all matches to that keyword. The user can then select from that list.

Playlist Editing:
The playlist editor allows users to save, load, and edit playlists. Users can even cascade music between each side of the controller.

Main Playback Screen:
The backlit graphical LCD playback screens display info on any track in the catalog, showing everything from the essentials such as artist, track title, pitch, time elapsed/remaining to detailed information including file format (MP3 or WAV), genre, and track length. Additionally, the HDC-3000 offers a waveform view.

CD-Audio Playback:
No need to abandon the CD collection, the HDC-3000 is able to play audio CDs with any compatible USB CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

CD/DVD Data Playback:
Play back user-created CD-Rs or DVD-Rs loaded with MP3 or WAV music files using a compatible USB CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

Storage Device Selection:
Take a client’s request from his iPod or USB memory flash drive, plug it in, and play it right away without having to reboot the unit. With two USB ports (and support for up to 4 devices when using a USB hub), this unit allows users to connect and recognize multiple storage devices to access a variety of separate music databases simultaneously.

File Explorer Mode:
Allows users to browse through files and directories as if they were using a computer, showing them the directory structure and file names exactly as they exist on the storage device. DJs with their own organizational system can navigate it quicker than using the database.

Keyboard Support:
Quickly find that hot new track in a massive library of music with just a few taps of a USB-compatible keyboard.

VBR & CBR File Support:
The HDC-3000 can play all your MP3's; CBR or VBR at any bitrate up to 320kbps.

Multi-language Support:
The HDC-3000 supports multiple languages including English, French, and Spanish.

Ultra-fast Instant Start:
From Cue to Start, get into the mix with no delay.

Enhanced Features:-

Cue Point Management:
Cue points can be set like a normal CD player, so that the DJ can return to a certain time in the track just by pressing a button. Cue points may also be saved permanently to the connected storage device, allowing them to load automatically with a track. Also, the unit allows for 4 hot cue points per side, which can also be stored to the connected mass storage device.

Efficient Sampling:
Samples can be set and stored in any of 4 banks with the simple touch of a button. Samples can be trimmed and edited with the graphical user interface, and the samples pitch can be altered.

Comprehensive Looping:
Up to 4 loops can be programmed with a loop-editing feature. Unlike a traditional CD player, the loops can be edited easily using the HDC-3000’s graphical user interface, which allows the loop to be trimmed until it sounds perfect. Loops can be saved to the connected storage device, so that they can be recalled each time you load that particular track.

DSP Effects:
This module gives the users a choice of 12 effects (including Filter, Flanger, Echo, Delay, Auto-Pan and more) plus, truly comprehensive parameter setting capabilities. EACH parameter can be edited in real time offering a greater ability to modify the sound while still preserving the preset simplicity.

Performance Protection:
