Play your mix rather than cut and paste in a DAW. Forget about having to start a mixtape from scratch because of a mistake at minute fifty-nine. The Bridge is the ultimate mixtape creation tool, letting you export your Scratch Live or ITCH mix as an Ableton Live set. Depending on your Serato hardware setup, fader movements, EQ tweaks and Crossfader cuts on your DJ mixer are recorded as automation and can be edited after the tape stops rolling.

Before you start your DJ set, choose save as '.als' from the recording menu within Scratch Live or ITCH. Instead of recording an audio file, you'll get a fully automated Ableton Live arrangement, complete with song placement and automation data.

You can edit your Ableton Live Set as much as you want: add new loops, apply effects, adjust your timing, smooth out your fades and obviously, correct any slip-ups. Not only does The Bridge make things easier, you also get a world of additional tools for tweaking your mix to perfection.

Exactly what gets recorded into the Ableton Live Set depends on the Serato Scratch Live or ITCH hardware you're using:
