Ableton and Serato -- two of the biggest names in live music production -- have been working in stealth mode over the past year to create what they've been billing as "the future of digital DJing," and today that new product has been revealed as The Bridge. Basically, you've got a thin layer of software that sits between full versions of both Serato Live (or Itch) and Ableton Live that allows output from both products to flow into the other -- DJ sets can be imported into Ableton with full control over effect parameters, tempo, pitch, and so on, and Ableton instruments can sit inside a Serato session. It's an interesting advancement, and the way the companies are talking, this is just the first in a string of products of the partnership; the good news is that The Bridge will be free to owners of both products, but unfortunately there's no release date yet, so raves are going to have to soldier on using last year's technology for at least a while longer. Hang tight, we're told it's "coming soon."

pretty cool but ill stick to my cds until they drop the price of serato

(unless someone wants to sell me a sl3 second hand version of serato?)

serato 2.0 looks pretty dam cool. it will definitely level the playing field with traktor.

I want to puke when I look at the serato waveform...

Traktor 4 lyfe.

yes because how a waveform looks really matters if you know how to beatmatch yourself
