In 2011, Rane launched its new SL audio interface – SL-2 Scratch Live.


Let me explain to you why this is not the best option for an audio interface or any DJ gear for that matter. With that being said, and the fact that the SL1 is a USB 1.1 device, it’s clear why this unit has been discontinued. Unfortunately, it didn’t have Core Audio Drivers to be used for Mac. Moreover, the ASIO drivers packed with the SL1 allowed you to use the interface with another Windows app, as a multi-channel sound card. As for the sound outputs, there are two stereo lines, and two thru outputs. Also, there’s another line to plug in a microphone. With the SL1, there are two inputs for turntables or CD players. At the time, it had everything a true interface should have, but that’s not the case anymore. No matter how sad it makes us, we have to admit that the Rane SL1 Scratch Live audio interface is an old and outdated device. In theory, you could download and use the Rane SL1 audio interface, but know that you won’t be able to upgrade to Serato DJ, as that software has replaced Scratch Live. As for the Rane DJ mixers, the Sixty-One, Sixty-Two, and Sixty-Eight are perfectly compatible with Serato DJ software. Rane continued to produce audio interfaces and launched the SL-2, SL-3, SL-4, all of which include Scratch Live and the update to Serato DJ Pro software. Note that Serato has replaced Scratch Live with Serato DJ, which is why these two might be interchangeable sometimes throughout the text. There’s nothing to worry about! As I said, there are plenty of other Rane DJ hardware that work with Scratch Live, if not all of them.
