8. How to DJ with The Bridge 2.0
Now this is the most interesting part I think. But also the most complex!
So let me explain what The Bridge 2.0 exactly is.
The basics are similar to the normal Bridge setup. But we don’t use the audio output from
an SL-Box! We have to use a second audio interface.
That means it doesn’t matter if you have only a 2-Deck Serato Box like the SL-1, SL-2 or
the TTM 57SL. It works as great with them as with the SL-3, SL-4 and the new Rane Mixers!
The reason is that we only need the channels that we really been using in our normal DJ
setup. In this situation 2 decks!
This will also work with more than 2 decks in the same way!
8.1 Required Qualifications
Let me list what you have to own at least to DJ with The Bridge 2.0:
• Mixer with Send / Return – each channel should be single directed
through your send output
• Second audio interface – FireWire or USB 2.0 or higher
• Novation Launchpad / Akai APC 20 / 40
What I additionally use:
• Novation Dicer
• Akai LPD 8
• Vestax VFX-1
• NI Maschine
My second Audio Interface:
• Echo AudioFire 2
(I tried the NI Audio Kontrol 1 USB-Soundcard before. It works also well. But a MacBook has
only two USB-Ports and in my opinion I have much lesser latency’s with connecting my
second interface right into the FireWire Port of the MacBook than run the USB Port through
a USB-Hub. Maybe it works faster with a new MacBook Pro. I own a 2k11 13'' MacBook Pro!)
