Really excited about the potential Ableton / Serato combination…

same here, ive been curious since the first announcement

hm i have 3 tickets for musikmesse, actually wanted to go on wednesday, however it seems that i have to come again on friday, or i will just be at tanzhauswest friday evening. sounds good and i know this grizu guy form the torq forum….

Ean, can u record your set? For all us people who can't come and hear you live – would be the best birthday present haha.

Am definately going next year, anyone wanna go together from Denmark?

Let's start making bets on what this new Serato/Ableton program is going to be.

20 bucks says it's a Maschine type project with Serato allowing stable and easy DJ control linked with Ableton acting as looping and production software. I estimate it will come as a hardware/software combo around 700 dollars and will include the Serato Audio Interface and some sort of MIDI controller with pots, faders, and drum pads….or maybe both are combined into one unit.

Either way, Ean, we'll be sitting on he edge of our seats for an update.

wont be using the serato audio interface becaus eit is not fully asio and not core audio compatible

NOOOOO!! Only there Wednesday and Thursday – won't even get to shake your hand again. I'll give Toshi an inappropriate hug and get him to pass it on.

KLOSELINE, where can you get tickets for Tanzhaus West or its a free entry?

Also grats on tickets for Messe. I cant even effort one at the moment, crysis had to hit me the week before this event. :/ I could cry now…

i watched the "future of" panel video(the one that was on here a while back) again and caught something from bill at serato that I had missed before. very telling i think about what this announcement will be. a lot of scratchlive posters my have to eat their words, and their CVs.

Ean, take a white sticker with you on Friday night ;)

Cya!

soulst, i dont have tickets for tanzahus, got the messe tickest from a friend who works there…. is thoguht the digital battle will be just a random party

They will release the new "Serato Ableton Live Handshake" sold inside Ableton 8 (and Serato recieving some many kind of royaltie) preparing the floor for Serato 2 (with new interface and TTM57SL firmware upgrade)

With the first Scratch Live and ITCH will control some features of Live (like APC40) and when MaxforLive will be released (later than Serato 2 I think) you will have the same options as Traktor but a little better.

Serato 2 with Sl-1 = 2 decks, handshake and (maybe) vst.

Serato 2 with usb 2 or TTM57SL = 4 decks, handshake and full video implement.

All of them handshaking Live as a Live Producing Tool (Pure Tooltablism)

or

Vaporware maybe…

The tools for develop all are out there…

Enjoy!

color me excited! can't wait for the updates!

I hear GC has SL-3 in there wearhouse. They told me a date when it will be released but I forgot. maybe it's tomorrow.

I hear the SL-3 box has a 2.0 usb.

soooo IMHO i'm not sure we will hear anything about an Ableton/Serato product.

Back about a month ago I attended the Ableton user group for Los Angeles, and the question came up as to when we would see something released with the Serato partnership in mind. The Ableton Guru's doing the demo all said the company was VERY focused on getting Live 8 off the ground, including a big focus on the Share feature working at a full clip, AND not to expect anything along the lines of an Ableton/Serato product "for a while". Obviously that could mean anything, and we could've just been fed a line, but who knows…

OH! Completely Off Topic, but one tiny tidbit that me and this other dude caught during the Live 8 demo, was that Live 8 will have an "export to iphone" option in the export settings. i'm not a beta tester so i'm not sure if this is common knowledge. I guess it's still sorta cool to know you can re-work a video and soundtrack in live and have a one stop quicktime-esque export setting for getting it on your iphone quick.

I reckon it will be itch as a vst type thing inside ableton

wow.. damnit. normally im studying in marburg, which is quite next to frankfurt.. i'm right now in spain, doing some studying and working out my style.. ;-)

really would like to see controllersim live at the messe and you djing at the tanzhaus :-/.. next time ;-)

[quote comment=""](Pure Tooltablism)[/quote]

i like that one

I am really looking forward to meet Ean at "Messe" and also to see the Digital DJ Battle at Tanzhaus.

I will try to shoot some vids at "Messe" and also of the Battle at Tanzhaus!

I planned to go to the fair on friday, but I just found out that as a private person (not a reseller or something) I only will be able to visit the fair on saturday.

Can someone help me to find a way to get into the fair on friday? Does somebody sell tickets or maybe knows another way to get two tickets for friday.

I already took of from work and will be in Frankfurt already on Friday (also the battle is on friday), so it would be great to get into the fair on friday.

I really would appreaciate your help! Ean, can you maybe set up something for me?

Tomorrow(Thursday) will be the release of Ableton Live 8, can't wait for my review copy to become available for download! w00t!

But Serato/Ableton, still hoping for a completely hybrid Serato Ableton solution.

Serato Deck VSTs, as that you will be able to have a single TC deck per Ableton Track. And also the ability to hook this up to the Serato Video plugin. :D

Digital DJ Battle 2009…

About two weeks ago I stumbled across the following article:
“Controller DJs in Germany & Austria!
Vestax presents a new style battle for those who have mastered the skills of DJing with midi.
Send a 10min video of your mix with a Vestax mid…

Unfortunetly I couldn't come to Messe today, didn't work out for me. But it was a cool show yesterday at Tanzhaus-West. Was first time for me to see something alike. Too bad people came just for the show and not for the party. Was nice to meet Ean and the djs who participated in the battle.
