Protect library
Uncheck this setting to remove files and crates from your library.
Enable to lock your library and prevent accidental file or crate
deletion while using Scratch LIVE. Enabling this setting will also
lock all file tags and crate names, so that no text can be changed.
Show all file types
Enable this option to show all files when importing tracks into
Scratch LIVE. If this option is not selected, only files that Scratch
LIVE can play will be displayed.
Build overviews
If you run Scratch LIVE with the hardware interface discon-
nected, you will notice a button labeled build overviews on the
main screen. Click this to automatically build the overviews for
all the tracks in your library. e track name (and location) are
shown in the bar immediately below the button. Below this are
three more bars. e first bar shows track reading progress, the
second bar shows overview building, and the third bar shows
track writing progress. Use the build overview function to pre-
pare the overviews of all your tracks before you play.
USB dropout indicator
e USB dropout indicator on the
main screen is a useful trouble shoot-
ing tool if you have problems with
audio dropouts. Such dropouts are
caused by an interruption in passing the audio to the Scratch
LIVE hardware interface. If such an interruption (or dropout) oc-
curs, a red light will appear briefly, just to the left of the Scratch
LIVE logo at the top of the screen. e light will be red for one
second, and then orange for four seconds.
If you do experience USB drop outs:
• Increase the USB audio buffer size (in the setup screen).
• Try closing other applications that are running at the same
time as Scratch LIVE.
• Try turning off background tasks, for example, wireless net-
working.
• Visit the forum at scratchlive.net, and try some of the com-
puter optimization tips in the Tips and Tricks section.
• If your CPU load is very high, try decreasing the maximum
screen updates (in the setup screen).
