Ableton-Serato collab site.
Can’t wait to see what the final product will be.
Finally !
this will be good,
I’ve been so torn between the two with live dj’ing its good to know at some point both will be interchangable.
6 more days dammit!!!
as a user of both ableton and serato i cant wait for this massive 14th january news!!!
is it gonna be serato 2.0?
Now this I def wana see !!
anyone going to their basketball game?
To be honest, it sounds like it won’t be a lot more than a plugin that allows timecode control inAbleton…
Me too!!
I went to an Ableton user group meeting and Huston Singletary from Ableton told us it was gonna be an “Ableton inside of Serato type of thing”
I got the SL3 couple months ago and I gotta say I’m very happy with it.. serato is tight… if serato is doing what i think they are doing and nail it.. I’m saying goodbye to traktor sorry but its true.. I like traktor but serato right now has me mixing like crazy.. non stop.. and hasn’t crashed on me… though I’m still waiting to see whats going on with serato ?? hopefully they nail it down to what every dj wants.. and is expecting out of this duo…
p.s i might take that back about traktor..?? haha
I’ve been contemplating Ableton for a while now, but with no real production skills I’ve never gotten that far with it; so I’m intrigued to see what comes about with this
Most prob like Serato as a rewire master type of thing and the timecode sending out a midibeat clock type of thing controlling master tempo with the audio from live coming into a deck or channel in serato type of thing.
me thinks 
As a owner of ableton 8 I just can’t wait… I want to buy a sl3 soon as possible
my bet is on new hardware, probably new Rane hardware to make this possible…
Has to be software..most likely a Serato plug-in for TT control inside of Live- like said here before.
They both make only software. Rane has nothing to do with Serato other than Serato made SSL for them. Serato is a software developer.
There was an announcement a while back that said the new product would be compatible with all existing Serato Hardware. I asked Serato if buying the SL3 would allow me to use the new product when it was released.
They said yes…
I LOVE Ableton’s Drum Rack tool included from 7.0 and up! Works awesome if you have a 16 pad controller! And the visual midi mapping makes it so easy to make this control that and that trigger this!
That would be absolutely fan-fuckin-tastic!
speculation on the serato forums is that Itch (or SSL? or both) will get abelton’s beatgrid/warping engine. i’ve been thinking about switching to traktor from itch lately, but if that happens (AND ITCH GETS 4 DECK SUPPORT) i’ll be staying.
They have already shown Itch running 4 decks when they demoed the Xone DX. Personally I hope that Ableton would be routed to Serato and that you could use Ableton efx, loops etc in Serato.
