Later on in 2003, a more expensive stand-alone version, Scratch Live, should include a few advances that will make it more suitable for taking out on the road. Serato Scratch SE (Studio Edition) focuses mainly on the former of these (working in the studio), and comes us an RTAS/HTDM plug-in for Pro Tools Mac and Windows systems. As a gigging DJ, it means you could digitise your entire record collection onto a laptop and go out with just the two control records. In the studio, it means you can scratch and manipulate any audio to hand, including stuff you've just recorded, as if you'd had an indestructible dubplate made up. The beauty of it is that it frees you from the constraint of actually possessing a particular piece of audio on vinyl, while leaving you with the same equipment and skills to control it. An essential addition to any studio producing beats-based music, for about the price of a decent turntable. The first mainstream outing for a genuinely revolutionary technology, and what's more it works faultlessly.
