Another question, so that lap top on the left, is that just plugged into the mixer directly?

NO!!! It's same idea, only 20,000 times better! I made the switch. I put my Final Scratch away and switched to Serato. It's so freakin stable. Final Scratch wasnt. The sound quality is amazing too. It sounds just like real vinyl. You can't do that with Final Scratch.

That's what we're trying to figure out.

It looks like there is nothing on the turntables for him to actually touch.

That would be bad ass to have all track on one lap top, plug it into the mixer and thas it.

I just asked someone and they told me YUP, the new version comes with time encoded CD's.

thanks Kristina!


This looks like the set up, and plug them i just the CDJ's

See.. Serato (the one on the left) works like this. You put all your music on the laptop, hook up the laptop to a special Serato Sound Card that gets hooked up to your mixer. You control the music using special CDs or Vinyls (CD's in my case), but mix it using a mixer. It does not beatmatch for you. It just replaces your CD & Vinal collection.

With Ableton the other hand, you can mix without any hardware, but it's not very convenient. That's why DJs get a sound card and Midi Controller to mix with Ableton Live. The audio gets fed off to from the laptop into the Sound Card and finally into the mixer. The midi controller hooks up directly to the laptop or soundcard and controls Ableton.

Now, what PVD is doing is what we're trying to figure out. Somehow, he hooks both programs together. Normally that can't be done, but somehow we're slowly figuring it out. Think of it like this, One Laptop speaks Chinese, the other Spanish. Completely different languages. You need a translator to understand both languages, right? That translator is what we're trying to find.

You should've been to my last Spundae gig. I was giving free lessons on using Serato. Just ask Robert.

This is how you hook up Serato.

Woody thanks so I take it you can replace the tunrtables with CDJ's or have turntables and the record players correct?

This is my set up at home. The top set up is my Serato Setup. My bottom set up is my Ableton Live Setup.

Yes you can. You can actually use a conbination of both, or even better... Serato lets you use only 1 CD Player or TURNTABLE. You don't even need both anymore.

So i have a Sony Vio that could work just as well as a Mac correct and fuck do I want that set up you just showed me.

It is probabbly about $2000 for 2 CDJ's and the Serato correct?>
