Rane Sixty-Eight mixer

Using two USB ports, the new Rane Sixty-Eight mixer lets two DJs operate Scratch Live at the same time, allowing seamless handover from one DJ to another. Studiograde preamps and SPDIF inputs have been added to the design, as well as to easy-to-use internal digital effects, with direct control of over 30 Scratch Live library, cue and loop functions. Serato adds four new Display Modes to Scratch Live 2.0, providing controls of two, three or four decks, each with a choice of Library Views. Additional tools can be activated in Scratch Live providing an expanded view and instant control of a range of free plug-ins including the SP-6 Sample Player, new Serato DJ FX and direct access to Ableton Live. The optional Serato Video-SL plug-in can also be added.

The Rane AM 1 combines a gain-sharing automatic mic mixer, manual line mixer and a USB audio I/O device, while being a Rane Remote Audio Device (RAD). It can be used as a standalone mic/line mixer for adding more gain-shared mics and using up to seven Rane AM 2 Automixers or the RAD Port can be used to transport the mix via a Rane Mongoose to a CobraNet network. Four XLR mic/line inputs with level controls feed a gain-sharing automatic mixer. Three manually-mixed audio inputs – dual RCA, 3.5mm and USB audio – with level controls are also provided, while a dedicated rear panel USB charge port provides power to USB sources. The XLR mix output offers a mic/line switch to feed either a mic snake or a line-level input.

The Rane AM 2 serves as an eight-channel gain-sharing automatic mic mixer and a Rane RAD for use as a standalone mic-only mixer. Each of the eight XLR mic/line inputs offers front panel level controls feeding a gain-sharing automatic mixer. The XLR main output can be set to mic- or line-level to feed a mic snake or a +20dBu max balanced input. The RAD Port sends the AM 2 Output mix to a Rane Mongoose for routing to a CobraNet network, while the Cascade In port allows mic expansion to a maximum of eight AM 2s.

The Rane MLM 65 mic/line mixer manually mixes up to six mic/line XLR inputs and plays back one of several stereo audio inputs, including modern USB audio and vinyl. Stereo XLR outputs and simultaneous digital audio recording of the mix to SPDIF, TOSLink and USB audio offer a multitude of mixing solutions. Outfitted with a dedicated USB charge port for supporting MP3 players, the MLM 65 appears in Windows or Apple OS as a standard USB audio device.
