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 option to remove
iTunes playlists and iTunes songs from
your Scratch Live library.
To add your iTunes music to your
Scratch Live library permanently, drag and
drop tracks from the iTunes playlists onto
the “
All...
” icon (on 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
Scratch Live 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 information, visit
apple.com

Protect Library
Uncheck this setting to remove files and
crates 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.
See
“Organizing Your Music” on page 23.
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. See
“Preparing Your Files” on page 10.
Drop To Cue Points (REL Mode)
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.
(REL mode only)
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.
