DROPPING IT IN
The platters on the DN-HC5000 have two modes.
Use the Jog Mode button to choose between
either scratch mode or nudge mode.
Selecting scratch mode with the Jog Mode
button will allow you to press down and hold the
platter to stop playback just like with a record.
Moving the platter will scratch backwards and
forwards through the track as if you were using
vinyl.
In nudge mode, moving the platter backwards or
forwards will temporarily bend the speed of the
track faster or slower. This is for when you have
two tracks mixed together but they are not quite
in time. By “nudging” the platter back and forth
you can ensure that the timing is aligned.
TIP: You can nudge in scratch mode by pressing
the PITCH BEND + and - buttons on the
DN-HC5000.
BEAT SYNC
Beat Sync is an advanced feature that will
automatically align the transients (usually the
drums) in the two playing tracks. If you have
dropped your next track in but it’s not quite in
time, by pressing SHIFT + AUTO TEMPO you
can perform an automatic beat sync. When the
current track is playing on the left side press
SHIFT + the right hand AUTO TEMPO button.
This will snap the right track’s beats to be in
time with the left hand side. Beat Sync works
by snapping the two closest transients together,
this means the timing of the two tracks has to be
close before Beat Sync will work.
13. Organizing Your Library
ITCH can support an unlimited number of tracks
– the only limitation is the size of the hard
drive of your computer. A number of features
are included to help you to keep your music
organized and find tracks quickly and easily.
MAIN LIBRARY VIEW
CRATES
ITCH uses digital “crates” for quick access to
your favorite collections. There is no limit to the
number of crates you can create, and any given
track can be placed in multiple crates. The Crate
area is on the left hand side of the library.
For example, you could organize your tracks into
the following crates, where any one track would
be filed in more than one crate.
• Hip Hop
• French Hip Hop
• UK Hip Hop
• Instrumental Hip Hop
• Old School Hip Hop
• Hip Hop Lps
To make a new crate, click the + button. To
rename a crate, double click the crate name. You
can change the order of tracks within a crate by
dragging them up or down.
TIP : The protect library option in the setup
screen applies to removing, editing and
renaming crates. Check this option to prevent
changes to your crates. see page 17
SUBCRATES
You can drag and drop crates into other crates to
make subcrates. If you drag a crate to the very
left of the crate panel, it will stay in the top level
of the crate structure. If you drag the crate a
little to the right, onto the name of another crate,
it will make the crate you are dragging a sub
crate of this crate. Subcrates can be opened and
collapsed, allowing you to have a large number
of crates, whilst making them easy to browse.
SETTING UP COLUMNS
The track information display area can be
customized to display any of the columns listed
below.
• album
• artist
• bitrate
• BPM
• comment
• composer
• filename
• genre
• grouping
• key
• label
• length
• location
• remixer
• sampling rate
• size
• track
• year
Clicking on the triangle at the top right of the
library will show the list so you can turn fields on
and off. You can resize columns by grabbing the
edge and dragging to the width you want.
EDITING ID3 TAGS
Much of the information associated with each
track can be edited from within ITCH. Double
click on the field within the main library to edit
it. Filename, length, size, bit rate and sampling
cannot be edited, this information is saved in the
file itself. Note that the protect library option in
setup must be unchecked to allow edits.
