TWO COMPUTER
CONNECTION
The Sixty-Eight allows two computers
running Scratch Live to connect to the mixer
simultaneously. This allows two DJs to play at
the same time and for easy DJ handover.
Connect both computers to the two USB
ports on the Sixty-Eight. On each computer,
select a USB Source for each Virtual Deck. For
any Virtual Decks on either computer that aren’t
to be used, set the USB Source to None.
NOTE: If you can’t select a particular USB
source for a Deck, make sure it is not already
set on another computer or Virtual Deck.
Each USB Source can only be set to one
virtual deck on one computer at a time. When
two computers are connected, you can use
up to 4 USB sources in total.
Press the
coNtroL PoINt
button on the Sixty-Eight
to select which computer is controlled by the
Sixty-Eight’s control Strips.

DJ HANDOVER
Swapping between two DJs both using Scratch
Live is now easier than ever before! With a
computer already connected to the Sixty-Eight
and playing, do the following:
1. Connect the second computer to the unused
USB port on the Sixty-Eight.
2a.
USING FOUR CONTROL SOURCES
: Select
a USB Source for a Virtual Deck that is not
already being used on the first computer. If the
first DJ is using all four USB sources, you will
need to politely ask them to free up at least
one channel for you to take over.
SEE “USB
SOURCES & ANALOG INPUTS” ON PAGE 19
.
2b.
USING TWO CONTROL SOURCES
: Unassign
the USB Source for the non-playing Virtual
Deck on Computer A. Then have Computer
B assign that same USB Source to one of its
Virtual Decks.
SEE “USB SOURCES & ANALOG
INPUTS” ON PAGE 19
.
3. Play a track on this Deck and mix it in when
ready — you’ll now have audio from both
computers in the mix.
4. Fade out the audio playing from the first
computer to the audio playing from the second
computer.
5. When only audio from the second computer
is left in the mix, remove the first computer.
6. Assign USB sources for the remaining Virtual
Decks on the second computer and continue
DJing.
USING LIVEFEED
1. Locate the LiveFeed files in your library. Type
“livefeed” into the search box and you will see:
2. Decide which source you want to LiveFeed.
a. To feed from a phono or CD (pre-selector
input), drag its corresponding LiveFeed USB
Channel Input 1, 2, 3 or 4 onto any Deck.
b. To feed a pre-selector input, the insert, either
mic or the mix, first select it from the Input
Source drop-down in the Record window.
Then drag the
LiveFeed Sixty-Eight Record In
to any Deck.
3. To begin recording, start the Virtual Deck
playing. The waveforms will start to build in the
track overview and main waveform display as
the input is being recorded, you can now use
the recording as normal.
Performing a needle drop on the record brings
the playhead back to the “now” position in the
audio stream.
