Rane – a company regarded as perhaps the best scratch-mixer manufacturer on the planet – has released a model designed for total integration with Serato's Scratch Live Software.

The Sixty-Eight, as it’s known, has a no-nonsense industrial look about it, which is good considering it has been designed for two DJs to simultaneously abuse it with their own laptops in real time. It can accommodate two computers, two USB connections [a first - Rane claim], four decks and two microphones:

The Rane SL 1 coupled with Serato Scratch Live is the ultimate solution for bridging the analog world of vinyl and the digital world of computer audio files. Using regular turntables or CD players, you can scratch and mix files from your computer’s hard drive, add in a live mic input for scratching, and even bypass to standard vinyl if you wish. Scratch Live is the complete digital solution for the vinyl junkie — take your entire collection wherever you go and leave your precious vinyl at home! The SL 1 interface connects one or two standard vinyl or CD turntables to your computer. This extremely rugged, portable, high quality, bus-powered USB interface features two switchable phono or line inputs, a microphone input, two line outputs, and pass thru outputs for the phono/line and mic. The included 12″ vinyl records each have a Serato exclusive and unique control signal which allows Scratch Live to track the motion of the record, simulating the same movement with digital audio. Due to Serato’s proprietary control scheme, the result is a feel and sound indistinguishable from playing vinyl. As a producer and DJ, the track you finished today can be played on a real turntable tonight. The SL 1 is only sold as part of a complete package, including a pair of control vinyl records, a pair of control CDs, software and cables.
