yes it is out it has been out for a year......

oh sorry NOPE not out yet

Ok so is it or is it not out lol. Your as confusing as my ex wife

Lolol :-P

not out and really have no idea when at this point

Ok thanks. Damn it it was announced as available like Oct of last year and still nothing? This is just one more thing im going to have to discuss with my therapist.

actually it was never announced as available

Sorry I thought it was shown at Namm. I guess Im wrong.

It was shown at NAMM but Serato didnt say WHEN it would be available...

Thought the video stated it was going to be available at the end of the month. Crap i need to stop listening to the voices in my head. After all the voices havent helped me much up to this point!!!

lolol :-P

whats the delay with the brige, is it comeing out or is it all hype wow l can't belive that iam still waiting for this

and itch 2. that was supposed to be released Q4 of 2009.

Patience is a virtue. Keep working on your skills with itch and ableton, then when the bridge comes and 2.0 comes you will be that much better!

Peace

it's all hype move along

hi all,just wanna ask the brige is come out or not?

LOL

if you have ableton already why don't the impatient ones post a video demo on using ableton

cause this isnt an ableton forum and youtube is full of demos on how to use it.... but untill the TRUE (nit projected and speculated) implementation of how it will work with ITCH is out any demos here would be pointless

To clarify, do something else more productive with your time

Also they already revealed the first part of the bridge's feature set

sorry for the double post

Ok it's official!!! intrested in the bridge follow the instructions in this link
scratchlive.net

Guys this is only gor ssl... Itch will not see the bridge until 2.0

Note: The Bridge will ship at a later point for ITCH customers

so i guess ITCH 2.0 might show its face around 12/24/10..... LOL

at least its comming

should there not be a 1.7/1.8/1.9 first then 2.0 ?

i am sure there will be just bridge wont be part of them

the public beta will be released within the next 24 hours! it is sick wanted to tell yall but couldn't :(...but now you will be able to see for yourself!

does it do video? sample? can I plug an external 3rd party hardware to control things? I guess wait and see! I hope u r right and I can test that thing today!

No silly the Bridge wont be doing video's, you KNEW that already no ???

You saw all the video's of Serato and The Bridge at NAMM 2010... Did it ever show doing videos ??

=[ I was hoping for a surprise =[

Yeah i know, but still hehehehe

We are talking with Itch right or SSL? Beta with ITCH 1.7.

They are talking about SSL.

Of course =(

I say videos first before the Bridge.

I feel ITCH is the step child @ Serato!!! :-( Only If Traktor had a better GUI.

Meh Traktor's GUI is good looking, it's pratical and not that much blothered, but you know we all have different taste si this is very subjective!

i'd use the bridge WAY more than i would do videos

Same!

I wouldn't say step child. Just child and heir apparent to SSL. When the child grows up, SSL will turn over the reign.

I really don't care about that. I just want a sampler, video, a better pitch-shifting engine, better analysis, true "warping", more/better effects, an ultra-stable custom ITCH Linux distro, MIDI mapping ability, and the NS12.

Yep. That's all.

+1

So... does next week look realistic for all of that, devs??? Puhhh-leeeeease? Kraal will buy you pizza...?

-KLH

pizza and chocolate? :P

Why isn't there a ITCH beta for Bridge aswel... I feel a case of the Ugly Step-Brother again.

you guys dont know how to bribe a kiwi... Pene, you can have all the marmite you can eat!

careful casket it might backfire. "love or or hate it" ? =]

pizza chocolate and roses :)

in New Zealand you can use marmite like smokes in prison.

Wrong THREAD!

u r right this goes under "food and beverages" thread or even "bribes" thread.

So Dense...

??

LOL

::FacePalm:: Thought I was reading 2 words :::FAIL:::

Can someone from Serato confirm that The Bridge for ITCH will be released in ITCH 2.0? Also, if you could give an idea of when this will go into open\closed beta that would be great (I would love to be a tester). It would be great to have my APC40 talking to my NS7 :)

Thanks,
T

Let the SSL guys iron out all the bugs, so we'll be able to iron out ITCH version's own bugs later :-)

T1 in response to you truthfully @ this point you can do more with Itch as is than
you could do with the AL/SL Bridge they still have a long way to go Before we can get to the point where we can incorparate our Studio skills with our Djing skills
at this point Bridge is little more than another Sp6 interface

IMHO You could keep pushing for it but it's Futile I would much rather Push for an Update for Itch that incorporates Mixtape to your Program B4 they officially release
a Bridge version for you guys Since Mixtape works independatly from Live and you dont even Halve to have Ableton open to use Mixtape Feature ...

But that's for Serato to decide .

Now lets Chant ,

We Want MIXTAPE
We Want MIXTAPE
We Want MIXTAPE
We Want MIXTAPE ! Pretty PLEAsEEEEE =)

Lets also fix BeatGrid so that it also Changes Warp Markers on the Live File and we
dont have to warp and also set our Beat grid

I am going to LMAO if Pene is a guy!

Place your bets, guys...

how about a pizza dipped in chocolate? with strawberries on top... hahaha!

I agree that mixtape will be awesome. Pulling an ITCH set into Ableton will allow us to crate some great mixes to put out there. But i have been creating some Ableton sets for live gigs. I am def still getting used to working on the APC40 and by no means am i an expert in controlerism, but it is a hell of a lot of fun. The effects\warping\sound shaping is pretty endless in Ableton and it would be great to easily transition from traditional DJing on the NS7 to working on the APC40 and use Ableton as a "super effects" rig. I guess i am really looking forward to the Bridge because the permutations of effects\instruments\etc in Ableton are so damn endless and i keep exploring new sounds. Like i said, I have a long way to go with Ableton, so i will keep studying it, but it would be fun to start messing around with the Bridge as i am sure that will take me a while to learn as well.

Having a beta copy of the Bridge would allow us to start working on techniques that will take a while to perfect... That way we will be ready to use it live when it is released for real. I am cool with an "unstable" version to beta test on my studio laptop just to learn it...

T1 i am also learning on the apc40 --- i had the apc20 but feel in love with the new possibilities and got the 40 instead ..... to switch between the two type of djing is a beast .... i cant wait

Getting the Bridge for me means I have to buy an Ableton 8 and to upgrade to a New Laptop which is not happening anytime soon. I'll wait for another year......lol

then you will still have about 6 months till it officially comes out :)

Does anyone here have any clues as to what the Bridge/Serato project will offer (besides the press info, of course) I guess what I am wondering is if it will have some sweet bonus surprises to compete with the new features in the S4. Or if that will be more of a 2.0 kinda thing (or a combination of the two)? Thanks!

there is a user guide you can download if you join the public beta on the SSL forum

Even if I don't use SSL? =)

yes i dont use it.....

Yea, there is gonna be some sick new tricks with the Bridge!

all this talk about sick tricks an all im so curious. my mate took teh SL box with him to cali so I cant try it! hes first impressions are not all that for what we talked about but im curious im gonna try and see to get that manual.

i all depends on what you are looking for,, if you are thinking thebridge adds new features to SSL or ITCH you are slightly off base.... but if you are looking at combining ableton and ITCH (meaning you need to learn both softwares ) then things open up for you

Watchwww.youtube.com

this clearly shows the advantage of being able to map controllers. this guy created his own and has every control next to each other... pretty neat if u ask me..

you can do that with Scratchlive...just not with itch

^ Traktor is a whole different beast for what Ean is doing... The advance beat girding and sync functions is what makes this set possible.

true but even a closed system control with a feature rich software would be ideal also

kraal nothing will beat being able to use the controller of ur choice. I bought the NS7 because I like the actual device and it was advertised it would work with other software so I think of the NS7 as the base of my system but without the limitations.. I am proud to be one of the first people to have a turntable setup without needles.

but again im too tired to even think so im gonna sleep and then come back tomorrow im so beat that i dont even know what i wrote! lol =]

again i am agree withyou but adding the IF you dont do THAT then THiS needs to be done

ITCH+The Bridge ---> ¿¿¿¿WHEN????

well first the bank takes ur house, then u go live under a bridge. Then u wait a lil more and after a couple of days without a shower u'll have the both, the bridge and itch.

(have *them both)

I thought that this foro was more serius...

did u read the previous posts?

there is no set date for itch 2 + bridge ... but "coming"

uy uy uy ole tio! this forum is serious when it needs be okay? es mas hasta podes abrir un "thread" con titulo en español y cualquiera te contesta...

watch im gonna wait till u make a joke and call u on it for what u just said. "more serious" pffff u must dj for funerals. not that theres anything wrong with that of course.. "drum roll, tshh"

if u didnt read before asking its ok just be nicer. if u dont like joking forget about deejaying maybe start ur own frowning company or something. ok ok im done.. see u take me away from my interesting conversations with other FUN FORUM USERS!!!!!!

BTW lastly when there is an official announcement be assured that it will be IN CAPITAL LETTERS IN BIG YELLOW COLOR AT THE TOP OF THE LIST OF THREADS! Guaranteed.

sorry man I didnt mean to make u feel ignored if that is what offended you. I hope I was able to help you and clear the air. peace.

The Question is are you really serious about your Question?

the day it is released

Yeah, by "tricks" i meant just combining controlerism with DJing... Being able to scratch an Ableton bank and getting all the advanced warping will open up a lot of possibilities. Currently, I have to export all my warped\modified stuff in Ableton to get it into Itch and it becomes a static track. Being able to have access to it directly with all the Ableton effects will be great.

that wont happen for a while

does that mean that the bridge wont make people want to spend on ableton?

If Serato put out a decent Video on how to maximize the capabilities of this union.

For example doing Edits, Remixing and Production this would catch everybody's attention.

Just the basics it will help motivate those inquiring minds,coz right now its like a wait and see.

i think it is called the bridge for a reason ... aimed for the people that use both

serato wont need to... youtube will be flooded with them

You gotta have Ableton 8 for Bridge to work.

i get that u need both. =] what im saying is if u guys think people who only have itch will be motivated to spend money on ableton due to the added capabilities of combining both software titles or not...

a sample bank for itch seems like a no brainier but paying 500 for ableton to achieve the feat does not IMO.. unless other features compensate the purchase..

if S4's new sample bank feature makes its way to traktor soon and the ns7 gets native support it will make sense to take a closer look at traktor so what is serato doing to compensate?

yes and no...... one thing i am not doing is ever saying that the features of thebridge and ableton should ever replace adding features to ITCH. that would be outright dumb.

but i do see people seeing the posibilities of what ableton can do as 'the next piece of gear they want'

kraal, i like that. =]

Youtube Search >Enferno or BigWhiz

I know that ITCH 1.7 is a long way to go for ITCH 2.0 to happen and probably somewhere along the way some of us will realize that we don't need Ableton after all.

I'm just Glad that we have a choice to whatever path we choose to.

ITCH 2.0 will be dropping after Winter NAMM. There you go......I said it first, for those people who are always asking about it.

I agree that Ableton is not cheap, and the full suite is around $800. However, once you start working with it you will be hooked. I would recommend downloading the trial and working through some of the tutorials. It literally changed the way i put my mixes together, as you can make some great modifications to tracks that would be too difficult or impossible to do live (for me at least). Plus, you will have an original mix that no once else has put together. Think taking an acapella and mixing it with a beat, exporting it, and then being able to bring it into your live set.

I am not a scratch DJ (learning, but no way ready to scratch live), and using Ableton allows me to bring something unique to the table. Just another tool to mess with, but the Bridge will really open things up. Just my thoughts...

czar and kraal - I agree that the tracktor sample banks will be real nice, and for a lot of people will be exactly what they are looking for. kraal states it best by saying that the Bridge will be something for people to explore, but perhaps not for everyone. The great thing here is that tracktor, ableton, serato - all these companies are innovating and giving us new tools and controllers to work with. Each DJ can pick what is best for their style and it will only serve to open up the scene with new and better mixes.

Watchil.youtube.com

The Bridge really does look amazing, however at the end of the video it mentions that u need ableton live 8 and scratch no mention of Itch,
Im wondering is there a problem with itch running the Bridge and will we ever see this for itch, Fingers crossed.

Yes, as others have mentioned in this forum, we will get the Bridge in Itch in 2.0 that should be released during winter NAMM

Where is this quote from t1

thats cause this is a demo/tutorial of what is currently avai9lable..... read that bridge website ITCH is mentioned

speculation. gotta love the forums...

Yeah, I know there is no official word from Serato on Itch 2.0 with the Bridge, but is the best we have right now :)

www.serato.com

It's been stated from the get-go that The Bridge will be made available to ITCH users. That much is absolutely true.

But no date has been officially announced at this time.

you need Ableton Live 8 full and of course a good controller for it :), takes your djing style to a whole other level but your budget as well.
