Red Bull has always committed to producing global, leading edge, events in both culture and sports and Rane has been there alongside as an integral technical sponsor with cutting edge products such as Serato Scratch Live. After supporting the 2007 Red Bull Music Academy in Toronto, Rane became involved with a unique DJ competition called the Red Bull 3Style.
Best put by DJ D.R. One from Team Canada “Red Bull 3 style has the intensity of a DJ battle with the vibe of NYE” Rules for the contest were simple; competitors had 15 minutes to play 3 genres of music; they were then judged on Originality, Transitions, Tech Skills, Crowd Response and Stage Presence. The events were judged by industry icon Team Canada DJ’s: Skratch Bastid, DJ Pluskratch, DJ J Swing, DJ Fashen and the 2007 Red Bull Style winner Mat the Alien. As almost all of the DJ’s completing in the event are proud users of Scratch Live, they were able to comfortably wow the crowds and judges on the familiar RANE TTM 57SL set up for the competition.
With Scratch Live the DJ’s were able to mix mp3 files on their computers saving time and allowing for a fast and easy transition between competitors. These quick changeovers additionally helped in keeping the energy of the audience to peak levels.
For the benefit of the audience and any DJ’s in the house, a video feed of the performer’s laptop showing the Scratch Live software mixed in with the live show was projected onto big screens allowing everybody to grasp the artistic nuances and technical dexterity of each performer. Additional close shot camera feeds of the turntables added to the video mix allowing the judges to better view all the performer’s moves.
In the end the judges announced the big winners as DJ Dow Jones in Winnipeg, DJ Degree in Edmonton, DJ Disoriental in Calgary, DJ Murge in Victoria and DJ Hedspin in Vancouver; all long-time SSL users proving that ‘practice does make perfect’. Additional local support and involvement in each city came in the form of the staff and rental gear from authorized SSL dealers such as Axe Music, Tom Lee Music and Long & McQuade.
With the ‘left coast’ of Canada being an overwhelming success, plans for the east, covering Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes in the fall, are underway. Potential judges, competitors, and sponsoring clubs are being reviewed currently. The recently released Rane Video-SL was the ongoing backstage hot topic of discussion as a majority of attendees incorporate video and DVD content into their performances as well as what they produce. Look for Video-SL to make an appearance in upcoming shows.
Video-SL is a software plug-in for Scratch LIVE which adds the ability to playback and mix video files with the Rane TTM 57SL mixer. Manage a variety of video clips from within the Scratch LIVE library and load them onto a virtual deck for control with either vinyl or CD. The controls of the TTM 57SL allow you to mix clips with a variety of transitions, as well as apply exciting effects to each video clip. The mixed output can be sent to your computer's secondary display for connection to external monitors or projectors.
