Simple, reliable hardware interface
Rane Scratch LIVE includes the SL 1 interface to connect 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-through outputs for the phono/line and mic.

Powerful, easy-to-use software
The Scratch LIVE software gives you everything a DJ needs and then some. Its visual waveform display makes it so easy to match beats, you can do it without even hearing the tracks. Scratch LIVE offers Absolute Mode to faithfully reproduce movement of vinyl control records, including stops, starts, scratching, needle dropping, rubbing, backspins, powerdowns and other turntablist techniques. Or use the Relative Mode to disable needle dropping to ignore record skips, but still allow scratching. Scratch LIVE allows you to save your digital tracks in virtual "crates" to make finding the right tracks easy. Plus, Scratch LIVE can handle MP3, AIFF, WAV, OGG, and CD audio.

Included vinyl records offer real turntable actions
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!
