Serato Scratch Live Software
Our 2015 post mortem piece generated some good comments, but one in particular from DJ Skinny stuck in my mind, if only to prompt me to write this piece that I’ve been meaning to write for the last 12 months — why are you still using the now discontinued Serato Scratch Live when Serato DJ is out there?
Mar 03, 2015 Serato Scratch Live or Serato DJ? It's obvious that Serato would like to see all Serato Scratch Live users make the switch to their current software Serato DJ. Mix and scratch digital music on your computer with Serato Control Vinyl or Control CDs. We've been hard at work making Serato DJ Pro the best DJ software on the planet. The Scratch Live workflow has been maintained with increased stability and brand new features to refine your performance.
I can think of human reasons such as the mantra of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. You may be rocking an older laptop with an equally older OS that just works, something that is essential if your livelihood depends on it working 100% of the time. Or perhaps you’re fully served by SSL and comfortable with its feature set (it’s still really good to be honest). Perhaps there are things it does that SDJ doesn’t yet do.
Perhaps it’s loyalty to a brand that changed the game and is still cool despite being long gone. Do you think you’re keeping it real by sticking with SSL? And as DJ Skinny says in his comment, the issue of older hardware not being supported is about as valid as it gets, and for many is still an open wound that’s having salt rubbed into it with every new bell and whistle that’s added to Serato DJ.
From my own perspective, my established lemming tendencies saw me despatch Scratch Live and ITCH as soon as I could lay my hands on Serato DJ. And bar the odd connection issue that is quickly sorted, I’ve not had a problem across three different computers. Experiences do seem to vary in this respect though, but with my former support hat on, given that so many people run issue-free, the problem is most likely related to the computer or even the user. If only companies could beta test DJs, because the stories that come from support desks are horrific. I know, because at times, we’re all that person. I certainly have been.

It is my long held belief that if you don’t keep up with technology, you will be left behind at some point. Not immediately perhaps but as new computer hardware and OSes come along, the environment that the old products used to work in changes, and the chances are that there won’t be a fix issued, because there’s no money in fixing product that nobody can buy.
Can I Still Use Serato Scratch Live With Ddj Sx 2 Firmware Update
So dedicated Scratch Live users — please tell me why you’re still using it. I’m genuinely interested in the reasons.

I haven't been djing in a while but I've supported scratch live since day one, promoted it, bought it when it first came out, and I was amazed.
So here's my problem. I upgraded to maverick and serato kept freezing when i opened it, without the hardware connected - never used to be a problem - I'm assuming serato dj fixes this issue. I can't remember exactly when I updated to scratch live 2.5 but I did. Now I just got an email from serato telling me to upgrade. I went on the site to see that scratch live is becoming serato dj. I remember hearing about this before but didn't look into it enough.
My problem is that the CEO of the company is saying that it is 'Very old technology' and the SL1 doesn't support the industry standards. Does this mean I'm going to have to go out and spend another $7-800 on a serato box!?!? If I do, that will be a huge disappointment.
I don't understand how its not compatible when it does all the main things serato dj can do right now other than have 4 decks and a sync button. Perhaps its because I'm getting older and not in the scene as much that I don't understand; but it just doesn't make sense that I wouldn't be able to use the SL1 box. It worked fine before, and in every other version of scratch live since they've added all the features. Now all of a sudden, its not compatible. Seriously? I just don't see how much more complicated djing needs to become, that the SL1 box would become obsolete, and scratch live becomes non existent. I guess its another end of an era in the djing world.
My current setup is 2 tech 12's a pioneer dim 800 and serato 2.5.0 running on a mac. What am I going to need to do in order to get serato dj running or am I better off just finding an old version of scratch live and using an older computer to run it off?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
