Introducing 2 new controllers: the DDJ-T1 will offer Pioneer operability to users of TRAKTOR DJ software, while the DDJ-S1 does the same for Serato ITCH. A perfect integration of each software’s functionality and our leading-edge hardware, the controllers offer the same operability and layout as our pro-DJ equipment – whilst enabling DJs to play music files from the computer.

Serato and Pioneer have announced details of a new partnership which will link their respective Scratch Live and CDJ products.
Said to function simply through a “plug-and-play connection,” Serato’s new integration with Pioneer’s CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 models will grant DJs access to their Scratch Live music library via the decks’ standard interface, with the option to flick between software and CDJ mode. Once the CDJs are hooked up with official Rane hardware, features such as crates, album artwork, track overviews and cue/loops point will become accessible via the CDJ’s colour screen and hardware controls.
For all you Serato DJs who’ve ever had a nightmare trying to patch in your laptop at a gig when the DJ before you was also using a Serato setup… well Rane has the solution for you! Create Digital Music has the lowdown on the new Rane Sixety-Eight dual-computer DJ mixer:
It had to happen sooner or later: the computer has supplanted the turntable, so why not a mixer intended for two computers?
That’s the idea behind the just-announced Rane SIXTY-EIGHT. It’s intended for use with two computers via two independent USB ports, plus controller support (intended primarily for Serato’s tools, but presumably adaptable to other software) for up to four virtual decks.
Now, as a way to manage four decks, it seems like absurd overkill – hasn’t Traktor done four decks for years? But if this solution is indeed software-agnostic, it could be a boon to advanced computer musicians wanting to use computers, or DJs wanting to mix Ableton Live on one machine and a DJ app on another. Of course, you could simply do that with normal audio outputs, or even digital outputs that aren’t USB – in fact, many of the Apple machines (among others) come with digital outs.

Live maker Ableton and DJ and virtual vinyl developer Serato today announced the results of their partnership. First off, this isn’t what many of us originally speculated: it’s not a DJ deck inside Live. Instead, the collaboration seeks to bridge (ahem) the gap between the way DJs perform and the way Live users perform. The result focuses on the way a performance set is assembled in the two paradigms, an attempt to guide the flow of music between the two programs.

DJ Pascal Kleiman was a finalist in a recent Spanish talent search. The difference between Kleiman and all the other finalists is that he DJed using only his feet. These photos of Kleiman were taken during a warm up set that he played before Laurent Garnier at club Barraca in Valencia.

Ableton and Serato, two of the great names in digital DJing software, are joining forces to create what they hope will be the ultimate solution for live computer performance. By combining Ableton’s unrivaled on-the-fly audio editing power with Serato’s clever digital vinyl system, the two companies are hoping to offer computer musicians with a versatile and exciting platform that will outperform the new Traktor Scratch Pro software from Native Instruments.
