How To Hook Up Serato Scratch Live

Serato Scratch Live works by using control vinyl or CDs which are pressed with an audible tone. Once your CD players start playing the CD, the interface converts the signal from the control CDs into digital audio. The Serato software then processes what the DJ is doing and produces a stream.

You’ll need to use an application like B.U.T.T (aka “Broadcast Using This Tool”) (for sending audio. From there, set the input to Line In. Designed to compliment an existing Scratch Live setup, Serato Remote will connect seamlessly to your Serato laptop software and work with all supported Scratch Live hardware. Serato Remote lets you see and perform all of your favorite Scratch Live functions without needing to touch your laptop.

All Supported Interfaces / Mixers

Firstly, you don’t need any kind of software license with supported Serato DJ hardware (which now includes Rane devices).

Go to the plugins tab of the setup menu and make sure the 'enable Serato Video plugin' box is checked. Return to the main screen and click on the video tab to enable the Serato Video output window. Drag this window across to your secondary display. Double click on the output window to make it fullscreen.

When you first connect you need to install drivers. There is an 'install drivers' button in the side panel (that you can open/close using the Online button in the bottom right corner). You will need to do this the first time you use any piece of hardware. Once you have installed, it’s done and you don’t have to do this ever again. It’s a good idea to try do this before you play or get to the venue early if possible. You don’t need to be online, the drivers are bundled within the software itself.

You should also update the firmware for your device. Check out the guide on updating firmware from Rane.

All your library information and cue points will be recalled from your Scratch Live library.

Calibration and USB buffer settings are not pulled across from Scratch Live so you will need to reset your buffer size and also re-calibrate your system using the scopes in the setup screen. Read this article which explains how to calibrate your system (this article is for Scratch Live but is the exact same process in Serato DJ).

It is used to play live in clubs and big stadiums, at weddings, private parties, or just to train at home. VirtualDJ was first started in 1996, and in the following 15 years, we kept adding more and more features, to keep pushing the limit of how technology can help you mix better. Unlike the transition to v7 from v6, or to v6 from v5 etc, where we just added new significant features (like video support, 99 decks, ContentUnlimited, etc), for the v8 transition, we rewrote our software from the ground up.

Remember to switch off Wifi and Bluetooth on your computer for best performance and to run Serato DJ without any extra applications open.

Recording input source (aux input channel) is now labelled as “3” in the recording input source drop-down menu.
