Ableton Forum

I am using Serato, a TTM 57SL, Macbook Pro, and ableton live. I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to record scratching into ableton live arrangement view......
I understand I can use the Bridge to record a live mix session and it records the crossfader movements, however, I like to lay my tracks out in arrangement view and add/overlay cuts in separate tracks as needed. Sometimes this require multiple takes, and multiple samples. I can get the audio to record but it does not recognize the crossfader movement, and instead treats the fader as always on. I believe this is because of the audio routing.
Does anyone have ideas or been able to figure this out?
Thanks

You can only do with on windows for some reason. not sure why?

....I was brainstorming and though maybe a secondary sound card would do it.....rout the TTM 57SL into the secondary sound card as an instrument of sorts. This is an expensive work around I realize....

...Also if you set your Channel to 1 on Audio tracks playing the mix and your scratch Channel to 2 and pan one side of your mixer to the right (for audio tracks) and the other to Left (your scratch record) you can record mono, but this also seems excessive.

…just found a thread on Serato that addreses this issue…haven't verified it yet though …..but it sounds like a viable solution to scratching records in Ableton Live. Basically, need to find the right Mac OS version to work with TTM 57SL, should be able to get Ableton to recognize 2 external Lines in the mixer instead of one……hopefully this works.

Here is the link to the Serato thread that discusses:
