Rane Serato Sl 2 Scratch Live Dj Controller

 admin

As mentioned in our previous post, DJs wanted Serato Scratch Live and software controls built into a Rane mixer. Rane introduced the TTM57SL for Serato Scratch Live in 2006. It was the first 2-channel turntablist mixer with integrated USB sound-card and software controls. Rane is pleased to announce that our products which previously included Serato Scratch Live software are now fully supported by Serato DJ software. DJs currently using Serato Scratch Live with supported Rane hardware have the option to migrate to the new and improved Serato DJ free of charge.
