Rane 68 compatibility w/ Serato
I'm a vinyl DJ, and have been mixing with vinyl since the late 90's then stopped and mainly do it as a hobby since everything went digital, I never switched to Serato or any of its competitors. I still use a Vestax mixer that has served me well for almost 30 years. I came across a Rane 68 on Marketplace for $500 that I might pick up tomorrow, and from everything I found online, it should have great preamps and better sound quality for my vinyl.
The seller told me straight up that he is selling it since they stopped supporting Serato, and he bought a new Pioneer. I know this mixer has two soundcards which is overkill for me, it's dated, and if I get it I wont be able to run the newest version, but can I just download the most recent version that is compatible, and mix with this and record my vinyl mixes and buy a CDJ, add it or maybe get DVS and switch back and forth if I want to add in some of my own digital tracks? Also will the older version still work, or is there some workaround people use for these outdated mixers? I checked out Virtual DJ and I didn't see support for this mixer there either, but didn't check Traktor. I did see a downloadable version of Serato DJ Pro online for this mixer, I'm assuming I wouldn't have to pay for anything to use it, or would I? Thanks
