The prepare window
e prepare window is a holding area for tracks, much like preparing a set by lifting records part way out of your record bag. You
can drag tracks from the main track list into the prepare window, or simply drag tracks onto the prepare button. ese tracks will
be removed from the prepare window once they have been played. All tracks in the prepare window will be discarded when you exit
Scratch LIVE.
Tip: Use the keyboard shortcut ctrl-p to add tracks to the prepare window.
Tip: Select the contents of the prepare window and drag them onto the new crate button ( + ) to save the selection.
The review window
e review window shows the tracks you have recently played in the order in which they were played. Press the clear button to
reset the list of recently played tracks.
Tip: Select the contents of the review window and drag them onto the new crate button (
+ ) to save a history of the tracks you
played.
Editing file information
Much of the information associated with each file can be edited from within Scratch
LIVE. Double click on the attribute within
the main library to edit the attribute. Filename, length, size, bit rate and sampling cannot be edited. is information is saved in the
file itself.
Tip: Use the keyboard shortcut “ctrl-e” to edit text. Hold down the ctrl key and move with the arrow keys to change to a different
field while staying in edit mode.
Status icons
e leftmost column shows the status of each track. e image to the left shows 5 tracks with differing statuses.
From top to bottom:
• Scratch LIVE has detected some corruption in the MP3 file. If possible, re-encode the MP3.
• e track has been imported from the iTunes™ library.
• e track has been imported from the iTunes library, and Scratch
LIVE has detected some corruption in the MP3 file.
Solution: If possible, re-encode the MP3.
• e track cannot be found. Most likely the file has been renamed or moved.
• Scratch LIVE is trying to import a track from the iTunes library, but cannot find the file.
Display album art
MP3 files can contain album art information. To display this album art, click the
show album art button. ere are many
third party applications available for adding album art to MP3s. We recommend Apple’s iTunes™.
