Rane Sixty-Eight

The Sixty-Eight is a four-channel disc jockey mixer from the Rane company that is intended for two-person live performance in conjunction with Serato Scratch Live software. Featuring two USB 2.0 ports for real-time computer controlling, this model can be used with up to four digital or analog turntables as well as Serato's "Virtual Deck" software add-on.

Each of the mixer's four channels includes a full-cut three-band equalizer for individual control over low, medium and high frequency levels, with high and low-pass filter available. A strip of dedicated Scratch Live controls is included for remote library navigation, as well as a number of different "Cue" and "Loop" functions. Six internal audio effects are built into the Sixty-Eight's "FlexFX" bus, which also features an automatic quantizing feature for beat-matched processing. External hardware effects can be configured via the mixer's stereo auxiliary inputs, with additional USB support for software-based effects. Two separate microphone inputs are included - one with phantom power for live vocal performance and one with line-level equalization for spoken word or narration. Live set performances can be easily recorded with a USB storage device such as a flash drive or external hard drive, with four stereo playback options for an ideally balanced mix. In addition, the mixer features a built-in universal switching power supply that prevents short-circuiting, ideal for touring DJs.
