Features
FLAC support
Serato Video Delay Compensation
Offset the master video feed from the audio when you have sync/latency issues.
Serato Video Auto transition FX
Set this option if you don't want to change FX manually. Transitions will change upon every track load. There are three options.
- On/Off - Loading an audio or video track to the virtual decks will trigger a new transition to be selected.
- Random - When on, a transition from the transitions list will be randomly selected, otherwise the transitions will be selected sequentially from the list of transitions.
- Next - Forces a new transition to be used. If Random is selected, the transition will be randomly selected.
Dedicated Video View
Media Crate
Any video content stored in the 'Media..' crate will automatically load to Serato Video when you load audio tracks with no associated video track. This crate is now created automatically when Serato Video is started or if the user manually creates a crate called 'Media..'. It is positioned below the 'All Video..' smart crate.
Options for controlling the media crate behavior are located in the Serato Video widget panel (you will need to expand the fader options (the 'F' button)). There are 3 different options.
- On/Off - Loading an audio track (with no associated video) will trigger a new video track load.
- Random - Any video load from the 'Media..' crate will be randomly selected.
- Next - Forces a new video load from the 'Media..' crate. If Random is selected, the loaded video will be randomly selected.
Playback fixes
- Fixed an SP6 bug where playing from the 6th slot causes a crash (windows).
- When midi mapping the 'add cue point' button for a cue point slot, the behaviour is now either add a cue point if one doesn't exist, or reset the position of the cue point if the cue already exists. Note: this is the same functionality as 2.3.3.
- Fixed REL mode tracking issues when using SPDIF on the Rane 68.
- Fixed a Rane Sixty-One, Sixty-Two and 68 bug whereby the FLEX FX sends for bpm dependent effects, such as echo, where not using the deck's bpm.
- The bpm for those effects was using a default value of 120 bpm, so the best way to hear the bug is to use a track with a bpm not close to this value.
- Fixed bug where the green midi mapped box wouldn't appear for some midi devices.
- Fixed a Denon HC1000S bug where the SAMP.1-3 and 4-6 button would not toggle the SP6 widget to open and close.
- Fixed a Rane 62 bug where loop doubling/halving on the right deck was not working.
GUI fixes
- Changed the TTM 57 hardware panel text from video-sl to Serato Video.
- Updated the Serato Video icons in the TTM 57 hardware panel.
- Fixed bug where the files/browse/prepare panel size wasn't being successfully used after being loaded from prefs.
Library and Track metadata fixes
- Fixed bug where .xml/.ovb data would not be generated for files that need it; quicktime decoded files that don't use mpeg4 containers.
- Implemented the ability to lock/unlock the beat grid by ctrl+clicking either status column of the track library, or the song info display's grid edit/locked indicator. The state is saved to the database and respects the settings used by ITCH.
- Fixed bug where tracks were being labelled as iTunes library tracks even if iTunes importing was disabled. As a result, they couldn't be deleted from the library.
- Fixed a bug where unicode characters couldn't be read from the composer tag of an mpeg4 file.
- Fixed bug where changing the column order of any crate would not update the column order of all other crates.
- Fixed bug where pressing enter on a bpm edit box field (library), when the value is unchanged, would not close the edit box.
Video related fixes
- Added the missing False Color effect to the automatically generated effects_list.xml
- The Serato Video Image effect 'size' param is now saved and loaded to and from xml.
- Fixed bug where auto cross fading from left to right would get stuck at zero when the auto cross fade speed is slow.
- Adjusted the auto cross fade speed so that the low-mid-high speeds at 10 secs-4.4 secs-super fast. The mid is a little faster than VSL 1.2.
- Fixed a bug where the auto fader couldn't fade hard left.
- The selected Serato Video effect slot now has a white border when using the Rane TTM 57.
- The Serato Video upfaders now default to full and the cross fader to half way when using a sound card with no faders (Rane SL1, SL2, SL3 SL4).
- Updated the Serato Video effect slot ON/OFF buttons to have just 'ON' but with different colours to represent state.
- Fixed bug where unassociating a video file whose stated path no longer exists (i.e. the video file has been moved) causes a hang.
Just when the faithful were proclaiming that Serato had forgotten its loyal grass roots users, they pop out an incremental bug fix release that squishes some long standing issues as well as optimising the install process. Scratch Live 2.4.4. beta is ready for you guinea pigs today.
The full breakdown of what’s what from the Serato beta forum area:
Hello everybody, and welcome to the Scratch Live 2.4.4 Public Beta 🙂
With this release we have focused primarily on fixing bugs and improving stability. In particular issues that have been reported widely on our forum, most significantly the CD drive crash and kernel panics seen with the SL4, Sixty-One and Sixty-Two. The other significant change is that the Scratch Live installer no longer installs the Rane Core Audio drivers on Mac. However, these Core Audio drivers are still included in the Scratch Live 2.4.4 .dmg for users to install manually. This was a necessary step towards 10.8 support – more info below.
Please note: 2.4.4 does not officially support OS X 10.8. However you will now be able to install 2.4.4 on OS X 10.8. We hope to provide official OS X 10.8 support soon. Until then, we would like to hear about any OS X 10.8 specific issues if you are already on this platform.
Scratch Live 2.4.4 (changes since 2.4.3)
Bug Fixes
• Fixed an issue where playing files from the CD drive or ejecting a CD caused a crash.
• Fixed Kernel Panic when hotplugging SL4.
• Improved hot plugging stability for all devices for both Mac and Win (resolving Kernal Panics with the Sixty-One and Sixty-Two).
• Fixed a bug where video files without audio were labelled as corrupt.
• Fixed an issue where you couldn’t save cue points, loops or autogain values to .mov or .flv files.
• Fixed a bug where m4a files displayed ‘unsupported file type’ message if QuickTime not installed.
• Fixed a bug where BPM field was locking up focus when the value was un-changed.
• Fixed an issue where the Next Transition (Video) button could be MIDI mapped, but would not save to the MIDI XML.
• Fixed an issue where you could get distortion when recording with the Sixty-Two.
• Fixed an issue where no audio was being recorded in Mixtape when using the Sixty-Eight.
• Fixed a bug with the Serato Video auto crossfader whereby it couldn’t reach far left or right when set to a fast speed.
Other Changes
Changed the following default preferences on first installation :
• DJ-FX on by default
• Playback Keys Use Shift off by default
• Read iTunes Library on by default
• Added BPM to default Library View (previously was song, artist, album, length & comment)
• Added Artist to default History View (previously was name, start time, end time, playtime, deck & notes)
New Driver Installation routine for Mac
The Rane Core Audio drivers are no longer automatically installed when using the Scratch Live installer. Instead, they are now located in the Rane Device Drivers folder within the .dmg file.
Rane Core Audio Device Driver Updates
• OS X 10.8 support for the Rane Core Audio Drivers for the SL2, SL3, SL4, Sixty-One, Sixty-Two and Sixty-Eight.
• Fixed issue on OS X 10.8 where the Control Panel failed to open.
• Fixed SL3 issue on 10.7.x and 10.8.x where iTunes would play an incorrect sample rate after setting the sample rate to 48kHz then reconnecting the device.
Known issue (all Core Audio on 10.8 only): If the buffer size is changed via the control panel while an audio application is open, the actual round trip latency jumps to approximately 350ms. Re-selecting the Rane device as the audio device within the application’s Preferences restores the correct latency.
Rane is working with Apple to resolve this known issue. Note that the ASIO drivers are unchanged.

Given my job, I spend more time with Serato DJ and DJ Intro these days. Gross beat ableton 10 mac. But I am very happy to see that my Apple system preferences won’t be cluttered with a load of Rane drivers that I don’t need. I try to keep my audio chain as tidy as possible, thus I remove the preference panes I don’t need. Now I don’t have to delete them after installation.
