ROM and double-click the Scratch Live 
Installer.mpkg icon.

or
  Launch the installer you just 

downloaded from serato.com.

. Follow the on-screen instructions. Once 

the installation is complete, Scratch Live 
will appear in your applications list. You 
may like to drag the Scratch Live icon to 
your dock for quick launching.

3.

 Plug in your Sixty-Eight. No extra 

installation is required to use Scratch 
Live.

4.

 The optional Rane Device Drivers 

are required for other software you 
may have that uses Core Audio to 
communicate with your Rane device. To 
install the Core Audio drivers, double-
click the .pkg file inside the appropriate 
product folder in the Rane Device 
Drivers folder on the software installation 
CD. 

  If you add a Rane device and need to 
install its ASIO driver, plug it into a USB, 
and select: Start > All Programs > Serato 
> Scratch Live > Install ASIO Drivers.

Rane Device Drivers

The Scratch Live installer includes drivers 
that allow your Rane Sixty-Eight to work 
with other audio applications that support 
Core Audio (Mac) and ASIO (PC). Driver 
updates are also available to download 
from the product’s page at rane.com.
  Once installed, you have the option to 
select the Sixty-Eight’s inputs and outputs 
in the audio settings of other applications 
when Scratch Live is not open.
  When using Serato Scratch Live, 
proprietary Serato Audio Research 
drivers are used in place of Rane ASIO 
(Windows) and Core Audio (Mac) drivers. 
The included Rane drivers are used when 
Scratch Live is not running, and will not 
run the same time as Scratch Live.

NOTE: These drivers only work with 
audio applications that are compatible 
with these audio standards (ie. some 
DAWs might not work with 64-bit drivers, 
you also can’t use these to output core 
Windows sounds).
  Rane ASIO and Core Audio drivers 
allow the Sixty-Eight to act as a 12-record 
10-playback sound card at each USB port 
for use with multiple third-party software 
applications supporting Core Audio or 
ASIO. These drivers are multi-client, 
allowing multiple applications to share the 
mixer at the same time.

ASIO (Windows)

The driver Control Panel may be launched 
from the Windows Control Panel. Select 

Start > Control Panel > Rane Sixty-Eight

.

Core Audio (Macintosh)

To launch the Sixty-Eight driver Control 
Panel, open the System Preferences 
window. Locate 

Sixty-Eight

 in the “Other” 

section and click the 

Sixty-Eight

 icon.

Windows

It is important that Windows users install 
the Sixty-Eight drivers as well as the 
Scratch Live software. The easiest way 
to do this is to allow the Scratch Live 
installer to do all the work.

1. Connect your Sixty-Eight USB A to 

the computer before you insert your 
installation CD.

 When you first connect 

it, Windows will attempt to install the 
drivers via the hardware wizard. Cancel 
and close this wizard.

2. 

Insert the Software Installation CD-

ROM. Make sure your Sixty-Eight is 
connected first. If a window doesn’t 
open automatically, browse to the CD 
drive. Run setup.exe.

or
  Launch the installer you just 

downloaded from serato.com.

3. 

Follow the on-screen instructions. Once 

the installation is complete, Scratch 
Live appears in the Start Menu under All 
Programs > Serato > Scratch Live.

Because the Sixty-Eight was connected 
prior to installing Scratch Live, no extra 
hardware installation is required.

Additional Windows Drivers

Once Scratch Live is installed, any 
additional hardware that is connected 
will be recognized and the drivers will be 
automatically installed.
