SCRATCH LIVE BACkUP
Scratch Live stores your library database and
crates information in the Scratch Live folder
on your hard disk. This folder is created on
a drive when files are added to Scratch Live.
A copy of each Scratch Live folder called
ScratchLIVEBackup is created next to the folder
it is backing up. This folder is created when
exiting Scratch Live. You will be prompted to
backup your Scratch Live library on exit if there
is no backup for a drive or if the last backup is
more than 1 week old.
Backup will only keep ONE level backup at
a time; each time backup runs it overwrites the
previous backup.
Note: Make sure you back up your music
separately. This backup function only backs
up the Scratch Live folder, not your music
files.
Music/ScratchLive/Recording Temp” on a Mac.
Recordings are saved as 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo
AIFF files.
RECORD GAIN kNOB
Adjust the record level using this knob. The
meter tells you the level of your audio. Ideally
the meter should sit just below the red, meaning
your signal is as loud as it can be without
clipping.
Note that you can also use the Virtual Deck’s
output level meter to monitor the input level.
To do this, eject the loaded track from the
appropriate Virtual Deck - the left Virtual Deck
if recording from input one, or the right Virtual
Deck if recording from input two. You can now
see the input level on the Virtual Deck’s higher
resolution stereo meter.
NOTE: If you turn the record gain knob
down and the red clip led is still illuminated,
this means the signal is clipping the input of
the TTM 57SL. Turn down the mixer’s GAIN
control.
tIpS
• The keyboard shortcut ctrl-n turns recording
on and off.
• You can load a recording without saving it
using the short cut keys shift + left arrow to
Virtual Deck 1 or shift + right arrow to Virtual
Deck 2.
• If the Virtual Deck is set to INT mode and is
unloaded, the input record level is sent to the
Virtual Deck’s higher resolution stereo meters.
E.g., if you’re recording from input 2, set the
right Virtual Deck to INT, eject the track if there
is one loaded, and the Virtual Deck’s meters
will show the signal coming into input 2.
Recording directly with the TTM 57SL soft
controls is possible using the Record Group and
an optional footswitch.
NOTE: Recordings over 3 hours are
automatically split into individual files.
