RANE SL4 FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • QUICK START

1

SL4 QUICK START

Step 1:

Connections

This Quick Start guide will get you the 
basics. Still, we really want you to read 
the manual.

5.

 Connect OUTPUTS 1-4 of the SL4 

to line inputs on your mixer. AUX 
can output the SP-6 sample player 
to another mixer line input.  

Note:

 If 

Scratch Live audio is excessively loud 
or distorted, the SL4 OUTPUTS have 
been connected to phono level inputs 
by mistake. 

6.

 Switch the SL4 SAMPLE RATE switch 

to 48 kHz if you are not using 96 kHz 
audio files.

7.

 Using a USB cable, connect either USB 

A or USB B on your SL4 to an available 
USB 2.0 port on your computer. 
Connect directly to your computer and 
not through a hub or splitter.

8.

 For a second computer, 

see “Two 

Computer Connection” in the manual

.

1.

 Connect your CD players or turntables 

to INPUTS 1-4 on the SL4. If this is your 
first experience with Scratch Live, we 
recommend starting with just two decks 
into INPUTS 1-2.

2.

 Set each INPUT to the correct input 

level using the dip switches. Set the 
switches UP for Phono (turntables) or 
DOWN for CD (line level).

3.

 If you use turntables, connect their 

ground wires to either the ground post 
on the SL4 or your mixer. Turntable 
ground wires are important for Scratch 
Live to run properly.

4.

 

If you want the ability to record your 

mix into Scratch Live, connect an 
additional output (such as an AUX OUT) 
from your mixer to the SL4 AUX INPUT.
