The first ever DJ controllers supported by Serato, the VCI-300 and the VCI-300MKII are extremely portable controllers with built-in audio interface, 3 band EQ controls, standard 4in/4out soundcards and adjustable platters. All you need for DJing is the VCI-300 or VCI-300MKII, a laptop and a set of headphones.
Feb 12, 2012 In 2008, Vestax and Serato created a new DJ console for the next generation-the VCI-300+ITCH. The goal was clear-to design a lightweight and compact digital DJ instrument with the touch of analog control. Preserving the concept of the VCI-300+ITCH, the VCI-300MKII has usability improvements based on feedback from VCI-300. May 29, 2012 The exciting new Vestax VCI-380 DJ controller is an incredible piece of hardware co-designed with Vestax for Serato ITCH. It's many new features make it a worthy successor to its ground breaking.
This hardware unlocks Serato DJ Pro for free when plugged into the software.

I’m learning a lot coupled with having a DJ mentor on board, and I’m sure I’ll be out and playing soon. The question I have is a very novice one. I have a NS7 and it runs with Serato ITCH, but the club I want to DJ at runs with Serato Scratch Live. I don’t intend to bring my NS7 to the club as they are all set up pretty much but I’m wondering, should I get another controller? And which ones work with Serato Scratch Live? Is there a learning curve between Scratch and ITCH?
I’m pretty sure I need to get a more portable controller than the one I have and I was looking at the Vestax VCI-300, but that runs on ITCH. Can I just walk in with my controller and my laptop and not use their stuff? How does this work in the DJ world?”
You’re confused between two different systems. Let me explain.
Apr 18, 2019 After rebooting, run the app and you will be assigned a new TeamViewer ID. How to Reset TeamViewer ID on Linux? In case you are using TeamViewer on one of the Linux distributions, you can follow the instructions below to reset the TeamViewer ID. The method is tested on Debian 9 and with some modifications you can use it on any Linux distribution. Dec 11, 2015 Hey Everyone, Has anyone that has been subject to teamviewers 5 minute restriction for personal use able to find a way around it? I contacted teamviewer via email and they confirmed that im registered as a private user so my account seems fine on the server side however they have stopped communicating with me after that last email and any more that I send never get an. Teamviewer limite 5 minutos mac. Use TeamViewer for mobile device support. TeamViewer is the world’s first remote support technology to allow screen sharing on iOS devices from any desktop or mobile device. All Android devices can also be similarly accessed making us the ideal platform for supporting employees in a BYOD or large organization with all kinds of employee devices.
Serato Scratch Live (SSL) is designed to work with record decks or CDJ players and mixers – ie standard club gear. As such, no all-in-one controllers work with it. It is a “half-way house” between pure digital and records/CDs, and is often referred to as a “digital vinyl system” (DVS). There are controllers that work with it, but they’re more boxes of buttons, designed to control looping etc – for instance, the Novation Dicers. You could install Serato Scratch Live on your laptop and plug in to their Serato Scratch Live system (assuming they have the required audio interface and/or Serato Scratch Live (ie Rane) mixer. If they simply have decks/CDJs and a mixer and not a full Serato set-up, you’ll need your own “Serato box” audio interface (ie SL2), and also know how to set it up.
You’ll need control vinyl/CDs too, which are special pieces of vinyl or CDs that contain “timecode” that allows you to control your digital files with their traditional record decks or CD players. All your libraries etc would be there for both systems (SSL and ITCH share library info).
Of course, you’d also have to get used to DJing with a club mixer and CDJs or control vinyl on their turntables, so there is most definitely a learning curve; it’s a whole new system to learn. Once you’re up to speed it’s simple enough though. (The software, by the way, is actually not so different.)
On the plus side, any serious DJ should be able to quickly turn their hand to DJing with CDJs, digital vinyl (of which Serato Scratch live is an example), controllers, hell even iPods – so if you want to learn Serato Scratch Live, and there’s an opportunity for you to DJ using that system regularly, that’s a choice for you to make.
The VCI-300 as you suggest is good (although limited), or you could wait for the new Vestax VCI-380 which we’re really liking the look of.
Have you battled with the digital vinyl vs controller route? How has your controller DJing been received in pro DJ booths? What further advice can you offer to Mateo? Feel free to join in in the comments.
