USB Audio
There are six stereo record channels and
five stereo playback channels. These
channels are simultaneously available on
two USB ports, allowing two computers to
share the device. This allows two DJs to
play together and supports uninterrupted
transitions from one DJ to another. The
six stereo record channels are sent to
both USB ports. The five stereo playback
channels from each port are summed
in the mixer (playback-1 sums with
playback-1 and playback-2 two sums
with playback-2 etc.) USB audio is 32-bit
floating point with a sample rate of 48
kHz.
The Sixty-Eight is a dual personality
device. When using Serato Scratch Live,
proprietary Serato Audio Research drivers
are used in place of ASIO (windows) and
Core Audio (Mac) drivers supplied by
Rane. These Rane drivers are used when
Scratch Live is not running.

Rane ASIO and Core Audio drivers
allow the Sixty-Eight to act as a 12-record
10-playback USB sound card for use with
multiple third-party software applications
that support ASIO or Core Audio. ASIO
and Core Audio drivers are multi-client,
meaning they allow multiple applications
on a computer to share the device at the
same time. ASIO and Core Audio drivers
are not available when Scratch Live is
running.
The Sixty-Eight has two USB ports,
allowing simultaneous connection of
two computers. Each port is completely
independent. It is possible to run Scratch
Live using proprietary drivers on one port
while running third party software using
ASIO or Core Audio on the other, Mac or
PC, in any combination.
