Today at the NAMM Convention and online, Rane officially announced it's new produce The Rane Sixy-Eight. The big news is that Serato buffs will be able to use 4 decks, creating four channel mixes, and enabling much simpler swap outs between dj's. There are two USB ports on the back of the mixer so two computers can be attached simutaneously.  The mixer is slightly reminiscent of the Pioneer M800 which a lot of my friends prefer. The FX processor on the 68 looks a lot more user friendly and intensive (including a rotating button dedicated to EQ. Here's hoping that they make multiple decks available for the 57sl and the SL3 Users!

Two computers, two USB ports, four decks and a range of effects.
