Repeat
Use the repeat function to repeat the song across the
entire length of the control record.
Tip: Short “ loop” samples can be turned into a
continuous track using repeat function. e loops need
to be less than 10 seconds long, and cut at the start and
end of a bar.
Autoplay
Click the auto button to
enable autoplay. With this
setting turned on, when one
track finishes playing, the next
track starts automatically. Load
from a crate to play through the
songs in that crate, or from your
library to play through your
library. Use the next

| and
previous |

buttons to jump
to the next track or go to the
previous track in the list. Auto-
play works in both rel and int
modes. Play from start must
be checked in the setup screen
for autoplay to work correctly.
See page Manual-27.
Track gain
Use the track gain adjustment
to balance the volume of the
tracks in your library. Any ad-
justment made to the gain of a
track is saved with the file, and
will be reapplied to the entire
track when it is loaded again.
e level meter shows the
level sent to the hardware in-
terface — after both individual
track gain and master gain
adjustment.
Master gain
e master output of Scratch LIVE can be controlled using the master gain control.
is adjusts the output volume of all tracks played. Note: for best results, set the
master gain to the 12 o’clock position, and adjust the volume of individual tracks
using the track gain adjustment.
Playing tracks direct from audio CD
You can play tracks direct from an audio CD in your CD-ROM
drive. When you insert the CD into your computer, it appears
under your Scratch LIVE library. Click on the CD and the tracks
will be displayed in the track list.
Tip: Disable any third-party CD Auto-Play functions before
inserting a CD, as they may interfere with Scratch LIVE.
Previewing tracks
You can preview the tracks in your library using your computer’s
default media player. Highlight a track and press ctrl-o. is
will launch the player your computer has associated with the file
type, and start playback. Also applies to the import panel.
33 / 45 Speeds
Set this to match the speed of your turntable for normal
playback.
Tracking indicator
e tracking indicators on the main screen show the quality of
the signal coming from the control record or CD. e length
of the bar indicates the speed of the record or CD. e color
indicates the amount of position information Scratch LIVE is
receiving. When you are playing the record at normal speed, the
tracking indicator should be grey. If it is mostly red there is a
problem reading the control signal. Make sure your needles are
clean, and check the calibration in the setup screen. Note: it is
normal for the light to be red when cueing or scratching.
