I finally received my Serato Scratch Live package in the mail today. I ended up buying it brand new on Ebay from an authorized dealer (which means I also get the 3 year warranty). I got it for about $200 less than it was selling here in town, and it came with two extra control records. Not bad at all!
I took a couple of hours to set everything up this afternoon. There is now a spot for my laptop and the new Rane box on my mixing table. I also opened up my mixer and tried fixing the leaky left volume that has been bothering me for a long while. I actually think I fixed it (at least I haven't noticed the problem since cleaning it). Everything seems to be working swimmingly now. I fooled around playing some of my new mp3s afterwards and found the software really easy to use. I'm actually really impressed with how it all works, and I haven't noticed anything different than if I was mixing regular records. I can even do a bunch of new things now like setting certain parts of songs to loop or setting up cue points. So I think these control records might be the last two records I'll ever buy.
This means there should be some new DJ mixes showing up on this site in the near future. I've been working on a new set with some electro house in it. Being able to use mp3s means it's really easy to try some new music styles without having to make a big investment in buying a bunch of records. I've got a set lined out with an interesting mix of deep house and some new electro house. Anyways, stay tuned for some new mixes soon.
This week is my last week before school starts. It's weird to think about that since it's been about 6 or 7 years since I've been in school. Hopefully my scheduling of work, other work, school and everything else turns out well. I'll have less free time for a while, but everything should work out okay. And there's definitely time slotted in there for spinning music.
