Rane Serato Scrath Live SL 3, Regarded as the first `industry standard` digital vinyl system, serato scratch live is the ultimate software and hardware solution for bridging the analogue world of vinyl and the digital world of computer audio files. The new sl3 package includes the USB 2.0 sl3 interface, with studio grade circuitry, 24-bit digital signal processing and a new auxiliary connection for a third device.

All of that complemented by an industrial spec, road-ready chassis with premium quality connections and build. Using regular turntables or cd players, you can scratch and mix files from your computer's CD or hard drive, add in a live mic input for scratching, and even bypass to mix standard vinyl if you wish. The scratch live software itself is incredibly stable and simple.

With support for all popular digital audio formats, you can import play lists and your itunes library as well as organise sub-crates as you go. Visual indicators, hot-loops and midi control enhance creative mixing processes and the all new sampler function pushes creativity further. Top dj's such as sasha, fatboy slm, felix da house cat, funkmaster flexx, grooverider, jazzy jeff, graeme park and yoda are all fans and are amongst existing users, once you've tried it, you'll inevitably see why.
