centeR On SeLected SOng
With this option on, scrolling up and down in your
library holds the selected track in the middle of
the library panel.
ShOW aLL FILe typeS
Enable this option to show all les when
importing tracks into Scratch Live. If this option
is not selected, only les that Scratch Live can
play will be displayed.
You can drag crates into other crates to make
subcrates. If you have the “include subcrate
tracks” option turned on, any crate will also
display the contents of all its subcrates.
Enable this setting to automatically generate the
track overview as soon as a track is loaded. If
this setting is not enabled, the track overview will
be generated as the track plays. Automatically
generating the track overview uses more of the
computer’s CPU power, and should be disabled
on slower computers.
ImpORt aac FILeS
Turn this option off if you do not wish to import
AAC les into your library. Changing this option
will cause your iTunes library to be reloaded if
you have the ‘read iTunes library’ option turned
on.
Click this button to force Scratch Live to re-read
all le tags. Use this function if you have edited
or modied le tags outside of Scratch Live.
ReLOcate LOSt FILeS
This feature is used to nd music and folders
on your computer that you have either moved
or alterted.
If Scratch Live cannot locate a le in your
library, it will be be displayed in pink and display
“le not found” when you try to load it to a
deck. Rather than re-importing the les, use this
feature to relocate them.
Go to the setup menu and select the library
tab. At the bottom of this menu is the
relocate lost les button.
Clicking this button will search all your drives
(internal and external) for les currently marked
as not found in your library.
When this process is complete, your Scratch
Live library will be updated with the new location
of your les.
dISpLay
This feature allows you to throttle back the screen
refresh rate. Users with slower computers might
like to do this if they are having performance
issues. It could also be useful if you want to limit
Scratch Live’s processor usage, for example if
you are running a recording program at the same
time. The default setting is 60 Hz, or refreshed
60 times per second. This setting applies to
the entire screen (i.e. the Virtual Decks, the
Waveforms, the library, and the setup screen).
Use the slider to set the amount of audio that
is loaded into memory. A small audio cache will
place less load on your computer, and the tracks
will load faster. A large audio cache will give you
a bigger view of the waveform when the main
waveform view is zoomed out.
Check this option to display the main waveform
view horizontally. The waveform will expand to
ll available screen space. If you are using a
widescreen computer, increase the audio cache
size to make the waveform bigger.
IndIcatOR
The USB dropout indicator on the main screen
is a useful trouble shooting 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) occurs, a red
light will appear briey, just to the left of the
Scratch Live logo at the top of the screen. The
light will be red for one second, and then orange
for four seconds.
• 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 networking.
If your CPU load is very high, try decreasing the
maximum screen updates (in the setup screen).
