On a side note, I was speaking to somebody at Rane. I might get in trouble for saying this, but Serato 1.8 WITH VIDEO is scheduled to be released at NAMM 2008!!! We will be there with Roc Raida reviewing all the new products for the year. Who’s upgrading with me? I also hope it’s real stable so our computers don’t crash in the middle of our set.

Two articles by WIRED and Billboard Magazine have stated of a significant resurgence in Vinyl sales!!! Now I know it’s hard to believe, but I guess the niche market of audiophiles is ever increasing. I think there will always be a specific niche market that feels the need to buy a 12″ album. Especially if they’re now attaching coupons for free mp3 downloads with the Album. Now will I start buying vinyl again like I used to? Probably not because my closet is already full of crates and crates and crates…..and more crates of vinyl. I love music, but maybe I’m getting old and I can’t deal with transporting 15+ crates of vinyl whenever I move into a different apartment. How many crates DO YOU HAVE in your home?!?!

Unless you have been sleeping under a rock, as I think I have, then you know that a week ago Serato released its next Scratch Live update. I find it wise to always have a copy of the latest public copy of Serato on hand with the last Public release and if you are feeling a little adventurous, the latest Public beta.

On the Public Beta note, there was also a new Beta release that many may not know about. Serato Scratch Live Public Beta 1.8. Now before you get all excited to hear “1.8” as I did, let’s make one thing clear, this release does not include the Video feature. Video will be an option with the release of 1.8 but you have to purchase an extra plug in. So for now that is missing. Aside from that there are a few new features you can have fun with. To find out what Serato has new to offer, all free to its current customers, read below and then head over to the Scratch LIVE links to download the latest versions. Enjoy!!!
