Mixing with only one turntable
The single turntable technique allows you to mix as if you had
two turntables, using just one. If one of your turntables is not
performing properly, or if you only have one available, you will be
able to continue to mix the way you are used to.
The following is a step-by-step description of mixing using a
standard 2-channel mixer, with one turntable set up on the right
hand side of the mixer. In this example, all mixing is done with
the mixer crossfader.
1. Load a track onto the right deck in Scratch
LIVE
and play it in
absolute
mode. The crossfader is set to the right hand side.
2. Put the left hand deck into
internal
mode and load a track.
3. Flick the
reverse input control
switch. The physical record
now controls the left hand deck in Scratch
LIVE
, and the right
hand channel of Scratch
LIVE
plays on in
internal
mode.
4. Cue the record and mix in the track. Note that you will be
using what feels like the wrong channel of your DJ mixer to do
this – the crossfader will be moving away from the turntable.
5. Having completed the first mix, flick the
reverse input con-
trol
switch. The track you just mixed in will play on in
inter-
nal
mode, and the physical record is now back to controlling
the right hand deck in Scratch
LIVE
.
6. Load a track on to the right deck in Scratch
LIVE
, and mix as
normal.
7. Flick the
reverse input control
switch.
8. Load a track on the left deck, and mix — moving the cross
fader the wrong way.
9. Flick the
reverse input control
switch, and repeat.
Mixing with only one turntable, using instant
doubles instead of input reverse
When using Instant Doubles with internal mode, the pitch will
get transferred to the second deck as well as the playhead posi-
tion. This makes it easier to DJ using a single deck. ( Start playing
your song on the left deck with the turntable, then instant double
over to the right deck, then fade to the right deck. Voila, the left
deck is ready for a new track.)
