Mixman DM2 - Scratching Tab Settings; Directories Tab Settings; Recording Tab Settings; Gain Adjustment

If you have not loaded or triggered any sounds, then it engages a “Default
Scratch” sound.
Once you are playing and performing in the Remixing Studio, the default
scratching works as follows:
The sound that is scratched is the last sound you triggered on the turntable. In
addition, you are scratching a particular sample or ‘slice’ of a TRK. Each Mixman
TRK file is made up of 1 to 128 samples, and which ever is the last one touched
is the one being scratched. You will notice that scratching the same TRK file may
yield different results. Some sounds lend themselves to scratching more easily,
and provide more satisfying results. The best way to get scratching to work well
for you is through practice and experimentation.
Scratching settings that refer to one-, two-, or four-beat buffers capture the
designated number of beats of audio. “This Beat” attempts to scratch starting on
the downbeat of a measure, “Last Beat” does one beat of audio starting on the
downbeat of the most recent beat. Some settings like the default only scratch
one sound at a time; others scratch all the tracks that are playing at the current
time. Experiment with different settings to find the ones that you like best.
Directories Tab
These radio buttons allow you to select default folders for the following:
1. When double-clicking on a Track Indicator for individual sound loading
2. What folder to use when clicking on “open mix”
3. What folder to use for saving exported files
4. What folders to use for saving Wav files that are created in the Recording
Studio
You can select one folder for all tracks, or select a particular direction to
set the default folder for that direction. This can be quite handy for those
who have their own sounds or like to customize how they work.
Recording Tab
The Recording Tab allows you to create default settings for how DM2 deals with
the recording of custom samples in the Recording studio.
Gain Adjustment
This parameter controls the gain sensitivity for any audio when you are creating a
recording.
Trim Silence
This parameter controls the sensitivity of DM2 when cutting off silences in a
custom sample.
