Scratch Live is a vinyl emulation software application created by New Zealand-based Serato Audio Research, distributed by and licensed exclusively to Rane Corporation. Serato was first known for its popular Pro Tools plug-in Pitch N Time which was sold predominantly to the film industry. However since its debut in May 2004, Scratch Live has become Serato’s main product focus, and as such, Scratch Live is often referred to simply as “Serato” within the DJ and music scene. Scratch Live allows manipulation and playback of digital audio files (mp3, wav, aiff, ogg and non-DRM aac) using traditional vinyl turntables or CD players via special timecode vinyl records or CDs. It seeks to cross the divide between the versatility of digital audio and the tactile control of vinyl turntablism and has become the industry’s dominant digital DJ’ing tool.
