Rane and Serato announce SL3 Posted on: 01.04.2009 by Random X Fresh from the Musik Messe 2009:
What is the Rane SL 3?
The Rane SL 3 is a new audio interface for Scratch Live. Enhanced by studio grade preamps and 24-bit audio processing, this compact new solution produces a warm punchy sound to heighten the senses. Extra outputs allow DJs and electronic musicians to intensify the mix with the Scratch Live SP-6 Sample Player (New in Version 1.9). The auxiliary input provides a live input feed for creative sampling or recording your set. Use any combination of audio source. Control CD, Control Vinyl or MIDI for more flexibility than ever. Feature and performance enhancements include: * New, Compact Hardware Design * Higher output improves ability to easily match levels of various source types * Improved Dynamic Range (104 dB) * Improved audio performance (24 bit converters) * Galvanic isolation prevents computer noise from interfering with the audio path * USB 2.0 high speed audio interface * Aux Input for Live Mix Recording or LiveFeed * Aux Out channel allows use of Sample Player as a virtual deck and opens the door for future expansion and creative configurations for DJs and electronic musicians * High-grade Phono Preamps upgrade performance of most mixers * Software switchable Direct Thru Connections for simplified connections * Independent Line/ Phono-level selection for each input for greater flexibility * Includes International Power Supply to insure optimum performance and easy transfer between DJs * Soft Carry Case Included | |

| Keli Vandenbergh 07.04.2009 | ... RIIA conversor or CDJ (but I believe it could be phono preamp or anything better making it useless) ... |
| MadMan Ajms 07.04.2009 | I did not know the SL3 had 3 inputs via TT, I thought 2 and a aux input, which I was not assured had the phono ability for another deck, but for Live Feed, etc..etc. . We will see, |
| Keli Vandenbergh 07.04.2009 | ... SL-3 = 3 inputs (decks) + 1 virtual (your computer) I'm just wondering... Do you imagine if I "catch the wave"? SL-3 will have ASIO and Core Audio Drivers. Check the FAQs and Press. The pieces are out there. It is just plug them. ... |

| Keli Vandenbergh 07.04.2009 | ... 3 inputs and one virtual inside new Serato 2.0 (and ITCH support for SL-3) &/or Ableton Live ITCH integration for NS7 and VCi & SSL integration for SL-1, SL-2 (TTM57SL) and SL-3. In near future you will see: SL-1 for 2 decks. SL-2 & 3 for 3+1 decks. SLs and ITCH + Ableton Live for infinite decks. It's a matter of time. Keep your SL-1. ... |

| Nick Ross 03.04.2009 | MSRP...hardly an indication of what it will actually retail for. |
| Anushka jayamaha 04.04.2009 | Dude $700 bucks for this thing are they serious ? Sticking with Traktor and getting an Audio4 seems like a great idea all the sudden . |
| Cristian Carmona 02.04.2009 | true, i guess we have to wait and see. |

| MadMan Ajms 02.04.2009 | for me the SL1 sounded pretty darn good, this one must sound amazing. I just believe 4 outs would have been interesting. The aux maybe for some extra deck some day or the SP-6. Cool . |
| Petra Georgianna 02.04.2009 | I picked up the SL3 this evening. So far very happy. Will post details tomorrow |
| Petra Georgianna 01.04.2009 | PM me |
| Cristian Carmona 01.04.2009 | anyone that wants to sell there SL1 hit me up! |
| Penni Rigor 01.04.2009 | C'mon!! Damn, now I have to spend more $$? Rane says they don't offer a upgrade/trade discount for going from SL1 to 3 because they claim they are totally different. hmmmm. The only point in upgrading then would be for the db and 24bit? |
| Brunilda Kora 01.04.2009 | Ableton and Serato have kept us guessing for far too long! B*stards!!! |
| juan garcia 01.04.2009 |
High-grade Phono Preamps upgrade performance of most mixers
|
| Random X 01.04.2009 | Yeah, same here. I put my hopes up in my blogcomment. (single deck SSL with vid plugin as VST for Ableton, so you'd be able to add multiple decks in Ableton. ) |
| juan garcia 01.04.2009 | nice! makes me glad i waited to get SSL, great product but i believe the sl1 was getting a little long in the tooth. i thought SSL and ableton were supposed to announce something today |
