DROP TO ABSOLUTE POSITION
This detects a deliberate repositioning of
the needle, and moves the playhead to the
absolute position of the needle, as in ABS mode.
Accidental skipping of the needle does not
reposition the playhead.
drop to cue poIntS
This option triggers the corresponding cue point
when the needle is repositioned into one of the
first 5 one-minute sections on the control vinyl.
For instance: needle dropping into the second
minute on the left turntable, will send playback
for Deck 1 to cuepoint 2, if that cuepoint is set.
VINYL START OFFSET
If you find that you have cue burn at the beginning
of the record, you will notice that the tracking will
be poor at this point. Use the two knobs to offset
the start point, so that the track will start playing
from a point further into the control record. The
first knob sets the number of whole minutes to
offset by, the second knob sets the number of
whole rotations within that minute.
LIBRARY
READ ITUNES LIBRARY
Check this option to show your iTunes library
and playlists in Scratch Live. You can collapse
your iTunes playlists by clicking on the
blue folder icon.
Uncheck this to remove iTunes playlists and
itunes songs from your Scratchlive library.
To add your iTunes music to your Scratch Live
library permanently, drag and drop tracks from
the iTunes playlists onto the “
All...

the far left hand side of the Scratch Live screen),
or into individual Scratch Live crates.
Any files moved to “
All...
,” an existing crate,
or a new crate will now remain in Scratch Live
even when the
Read iTunes library
option is
unchecked. Once a file has been permanently
added to Scratch Live, the iTunes logo will
disappear.
We recommend unchecking this option after
you have added your music into the Scratchlive
library.
NOTES:
• If your iTunes library contains a large number of
tracks it may take some time for Scratch Live
to read it.
• Any changes made in Scratch Live to the file
information of tracks in your iTunes library will
not appear in iTunes until after you play the
track.
• Scratch Live cannot play files that have been
protected by Digital Rights Management
systems, such as those previously sold
through the Apple iTunes Music Store. iTunes
Plus files are DRM-free.
• iTunes is available for Mac and PC. For more

PROTECT LIBRARY

from your library. Enable to lock your library and
prevent accidental file or crate deletion while
using Scratch Live. Enabling this setting will also
lock all file tags and crate names, so that no text
can be changed.
CUSTOMIzE CRATE VIEWS
Check this option to set custom column views
for each crate and playlist. When the option is off
(default), all crates will share the same column
configuration as the “
All...
” crate.
CENTER ON SELECTED SONG
With this option on, scrolling up and down in
your Library holds the selected track in the
middle of the Library panel.
SHOW ALL FILE TYPES
Enable this option to show all files when
importing tracks into Scratch Live. If this option
is not selected, only files that Scratch Live can
play will be displayed.
INCLUDE SUBCRATE TRACkS
You can drag crates into other crates to make
subcrates. If you have this option turned on,
any crate will also display the contents of all its
subcrates.

PAGE 27.
AUTOFILL OVERVIEWS
Enable this setting to automatically generate the
track overview as soon as a track is loaded. If
this setting is not enabled, the track overview will
be generated as the track plays. Automatically
generating the track overview uses more of the
computer’s CPU power, and should be disabled
on slower computers.
TIP: Analyze your files before you play to
pre-build all your overviews.

YOUR FILES” ON PAGE 14.
