Scratch Live is a vinyl emulation software application created by New Zealand based Serato Audio Research, distributed by and licensed exclusively to Rane Corporation. Serato was first known for its Pro Tools plug-in, Pitch N Time, which was sold predominantly to the film industry.[1]
Scratch Live allows manipulation and playback of digital audio files using traditional vinyl turntables or CD players via special timecode vinyl records or CDs.
The product is discontinued and has been replaced by Serato DJ.
Video-SL[edit]
In 2008, Serato released the first major plugin for Scratch Live, Video-SL. It allows the playback of video files in similar fashion to audio files. Users can apply effects in real time and mix between video independently of audio.
A demo copy can be installed and used but a watermark is displayed on the main output screen. Activation is done via a serial number.
Video-SL was later replaced by a new designed video plugin called 'Serato Video'.
Custom hardware[edit]
Scratch Live currently works in conjunction with five application specific audio devices designed and manufactured for the system by Mukilteo, Washington-based Rane Corporation.
SL4[edit]
The latest audio interface is the SL4. It is the first standalone DJ interface with two USB 2.0 ports for seamless DJ changeover and back-to-back performances. It also has 96 kHz, 24-bit audio. The SL4 has built in galvanic isolation between USB and audio, with turn on/off muting. The unit also includes Low-latency ASIO and Core Audio drivers which allow the SL4 to be used as a studio production tool with third-party software applications.
SL3[edit]
The SL3 is another audio interface for Scratch Live. Features include a USB 2.0 interface, improved dynamic range (120 dB), improved audio performance (24 bit converters) and additional audio channels with AUX input and output. Like the SL2 it also has 48.0 kHz, 24-bit audio. The extra channel allows the DJ to record his/her music set, use a sampler while performing or connect a third player for three deck mixing.
SL2[edit]
The SL2 is the audio interface set to replace the older SL1 interface.[2] The unit has 2 inputs which can be used both as phono or line input, but unlike the old SL1 interface it doesn't have a microphone input and it has only 2 line outputs and no 'thru' outputs. It also features improvements to the sound quality. Whereas the SL1 interface had 16-bit 44.1 kHz audio, the SL2 now has 24-bit 48khZ audio with USB2.0 and Core Audio/ASIO support.[3]
SL1[edit]
The SL1 is a multi-channel, USB 1.1 external soundcard. The unit has inputs for two stereo turntables or CD players and one unbalanced microphone. There are two stereo line level outputs and two 'thru' outputs which provide a copy of the input signal to enable playback of regular vinyl records or CDs. ASIO drivers are available for the unit to allow it to be used by other Windows applications as a multi channel sound interface. There are no Core Audio drivers for Macintosh-based computers. The SL1 interface is no longer in production, but is still supported.[4]
MP4[edit]
A 19' rack mount DJ mixer based on the MP2, incorporating the sound card functions of the SL1. The MP4 allows you to record your set digitally within the Scratch Live software over the USB interface. The mixer is recognized by Windows as a 4x output 2x input soundcard so it can be used with any windows application. Also provided are ASIO and Core Audio drivers for use in audio applications on both Windows XP and Mac OS X.
TTM 57SL[edit]
A DJ mixer combining the functionality of the SL1 with an application specific control surface based on the popular TTM56 scratch mixer. It also contains added effects not available with the TTM56 or bare SL1 set-ups.
Sixty-Eight[edit]
Announced at NAMM 2010, the Sixty-Eight is a 4 channel club style mixer with 2 separate USB inputs. Via ScratchLive 2.0 it adds support for up 4 real or virtual deck combinations.
Supported third party accessories[edit]
Serato have begun working in supporting third party players/controllers with the Scratch Live software. Aria scale reviews. These controllers are 'natively' supported and do not require the use of the timecode CDs, all playback and control information is sent over USB. The following are the currently supported native controllers:
- Denon DN-HC1000S
- Denon DN-HC4500
- Novation Dicer (versions 2.1 and above)
- Pioneer CDJ-2000 (versions 2.1 and above)
- Pioneer CDJ-900 (versions 2.1 and above)
- Pioneer CDJ-850
- Pioneer CDJ-400
- Pioneer CDJ-350
- Pioneer MEP-7000
- Vestax VFX-1

Serato Scratch Live Software
I finally got the Relocate files button to work.
It seems to have been too many backup drives connected so this may help some peolle.
I have always used Serato DJ Pro and stored all my music files on a laptop and VCI 400 controller.
i have always copied all my music and serato files onto a backup external hard drive for peace of mind. (Drive G)
Then I recently installed a copy of Serato onto my desktop to work on sets.
Serato automatically saves the Serato files to My Music on the C Drive
On my desktop I have two further external hard drives connected as backups for all my Business files (Drives E & H). I routinely save all my files to these E & H drives so avoid clutter on the C drive.
I then regularly saver the Music file information from my laptop and G drive onto these E & H drives as belt & braces backups.
So when I wanted to get my Desktop looking like my laptop with all my current crates and music I first copied the Serato file from my laptop into the My Music section of the C drive as this is where serato boots from on startup, however as all my music files are not stored on the desktop C drive but on the laptop C drive (and G,E, H drives) it would not be able to locate all the music files as the Serato file copied over would say file in C drive but it obviously meant the laptop C drive.
So I would try pointing the relocate feature to the music files in the E drive.
It could not cope with that & i assumed the relocate feature to be not working.
So I 've been playing around and eventually the relocate feature worked.
I can now get a mirror of my laptop on my desktop.
So first copying the Serato File to the desktop C drive and making sure the music file data base in the externa E drive is identical to the music file data base on my laptop, I would disconnect the external H drive and the external G drive .
I then went into all the areas where there was a backup Serato file connected to the desktop and deleted these.
So the only places where the serato files were are the C drive on the desktop and the only place where music files were connected is the E drive.
Then when I start Serato all the crates are correct but all the files are missing as it says location C drive for all the files, because this is where they would have been on the laptop.
I then drag and drop the music file location from the E drive onto the Relocate files button and it found everything perfectly.
It may take a few minutes but all good.
Sorry if a long explanation but if only one serato file and only one music file storage then the relocate files seems to worl OK. Its the multiple files which confuses it. Quite obvious when you think about it. May help someone
