Here is a demo on how it works:

A review of The Bridge, the partnership between Ableton Live and Serato Scratch Live
In this video you will see all the main features of The Bridge, the very first version of the software that allows you to pair up Ableton Live and Serato Scratch Live. This setup is a huge step towards bridging the gap between producer, DJ, and artist.
Check out my review of the pros and cons of this setup and let me know what you think.

"The Bridge" is gonna change everything!!
So unless you've been living under a rock, you have already heard about "The Bridge" but if for some reason you haven't basically it links Ableton + Serato Scratch Live together so that the can work seemlessly together. This has blown the doors off the DJ'ing, music making, and performing world. It open things up so much you almost don't know what to think at first.
I finally got my updates so I could try this made in HEAVEN setup and let me tell you, the little hamster wheel is spinning inside my head. But with this huge potential that has just opened up to all of us, this is gonna take a while to figure how to best use this in my, and I'm sure your guy's setups.
If you are lucky enough to own the Rane TTM57SL or the Rane 68, this setup means no more going to the studio to cut-up, clean-up, and master your mix for promo's or for selling CD's etc. Now Ableton will record all the audio as you play, it also records every midi movement, from knobs, to sliders, to buttons, even the cross fader. If you don't own those 2 mixers but instead use the SL1,SL3, or SL4 box. This setup still records audio from left and right decks but no knobs or faders, etc.
Whether your a producer who wishes to perform live or if you're a DJ who wishes to have more effects, or make your way into performing your own sounds or tracks, The Bridge has something for you. Rightly named The Bridge, this is the closest thing ever to bringing the DJ, producer, and performer in one setup.
To help wrap your mind around this here are the best videos at the moment explaining the potential. This first video explains performing with your beats, layering and looping.
The second video shows how Ableton can record your set, including all the automation.

The Bridge
If you've been following this site for a bit you might have been wondering why we haven't talked about "The Bridge" yet, well the main reason was we got hammered on New Years, but also we wanted to wait for some good videos to come out explaining in a more clear way how and what "The Bridge" does.
If you are unfamiliar Ableton and Rane announced in 2010 that they were partnering on a project aptly named "The Bridge" of course and basically what it does is it allows you to Rewire Ableton Live and Serato Scratch Live. Serato being the master and Ableton Live being the slave.
When we first heard about this partnership, we nearly passed out from excitement. This will open Pandora's box essentially as this means that just about anything is possible with this setup. Especially if you use the Rane ttm 57sl or 68 as Ableton Live will record all the fader and knob movements into Ableton which after your set you could go back and edit or share with others. This is bananas!
So anyways we will certainly be posting more videos on this setup soon but for now check out the guys from Ableton and Rane explain what they have made so far.

This week svankov show's off the Akai APC40 controller for Ableton!
If you haven't heard of the APC40 you must be living under a rock! This thing is blowing up the way "composers" perform. I say "composer" because these guys aren't DJ's nor are they producers. They are on the fly remixers, chopping up, dropping down, editing, looping and glitching out music as they play it. This is Ableton used in one of it's many creative ways it was intended for.
LIVE manipulation and creation of music. Keep an eye out as we will definitely be featuring more in depth videos on how exactly to use this bad boy.
