The Rumor Mill: Custom 1200's for LA DnB pioneer DJ CRS? !

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

According to his own Facebook announcement made earlier today:

“just got off the phone wit my homie from Technics. They wanna make me sum custom DJ CRS? signature 1200 turntables! BIG NEWS!!!! =)”

In my opinion this is HUGE for not only CRS? (aka George Ybarra) but for US DnB as a whole.  CRS? is one of the OG LA Junglists that helped push the sound that would become a driving force in the LA scene, along with DJs APX1, Oscar Da Grouch, R.A.W., and more!

Big ups to CRS?- we’re looking forward to seeing what they look like!

TECH TALK: Ableton & Serato to release new software

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

UPDATE: The wait is over!!! According to Ableton.com, the new product is officially named “The Bridge”.

ABLETON TO SERATO: “The Bridge provides Ableton Transport Control (ATC), giving you turntable-style control of your own multitrack productions. Simply drag an Ableton Live Set to a deck in Scratch Live or ITCH and use your turntables, CDJ or ITCH controller to control the transport. With ATC, Scratch Live or ITCH provides your productions with deck control, mixing, nudging and DJ style looping, while you can remix, mute/solo tracks, use virtual instruments, change drum patterns, manipulate audio, tweak effects and launch loops on the fly in Ableton Live.”

SERATO TO ABLETON: “Play your mix rather than cut and paste in a DAW. Forget about having to start a mixtape from scratch because of a mistake at minute fifty-nine. The Bridge is the ultimate mixtape creation tool, letting you export your Scratch Live or ITCH mix as an Ableton Live set. Depending on your Serato hardware setup, fader movements, EQ tweaks and Crossfader cuts on your DJ mixer are recorded as automation and can be edited after the tape stops rolling.”

The Bridge is free for anyone who owns both:

  • A registered version of Serato Scratch Live or ITCH hardware and
  • Ableton Live 8 or Suite 8
