RANE SL4 FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.4.4

33

Play From Start

Enable this to start all tracks from the 
beginning when loaded in REL and INT 
modes. If this setting is not enabled, 
freshly loaded tracks will continue to play 
from the point the last track was at. This 
option is on by default.

Instant Doubles

This option allows you to quickly match 
the playhead position of two tracks. 
With this option enabled, when you load 
the same file on one Virtual Deck that is 
already loaded on the other Virtual Deck, 
the playhead will jump to the position of 
the track that was loaded first, with the 
keylock state and looping settings copied. 
This setting overrides the 

Play from start

 

and 

Play from first cue point

 options.

Play From First Cue Point

Enable this option to start all tracks from 
the first cue point when loaded in REL and 
INT modes. This setting overrides the 

Play 

from start option

.

Braking (INT Mode)

In INT mode, this controls how fast 
the deck stops when play is stopped. 
Counter-clockwise, the stop is immediate. 
Clockwise rotation increases the stop 
from a finger grab all the way to a slow 
turntable power-down.

Audio Output

By default the output of Scratch Live is 
stereo. You can also select mono output. 
This setting is saved when you exit 
Scratch Live.

Vinyl Control

Adjust Loops with Vinyl

Loop end points can be adjusted using 
the control vinyl. Disable this option if you 
wish to use the computer’s arrow keys to 
adjust loops, and keep audio playback 
controlled by the vinyl. 

SEE “Looping” on 

page 18.

Next Song On Flip

When this option is enabled, changing the 
side of control vinyl you’re using (‘flipping 
the record’) loads the next song.

Enable Vinyl Scroll

Uncheck this box to disable the Vinyl 
Scroll feature. 

See “Vinyl Scroll” on page 

12

.

Reverse Vinyl Scroll

This setting allows you to reverse the 
direction of Vinyl Scroll. 

SEE “Vinyl 

Scroll” on page 12.

Vinyl Scroll Speed

Vinyl Scroll allows you to load a new track 
without touching the computer, by lifting 
the needle and placing it in the special 
section of side A of the control record. 
This setting allows you to adjust the 
sensitivity of Vinyl Scroll, so that you can 
control the amount of record movement 
required to move between tracks.

Drop To Absolute Position (REL 
Mode)

This detects a deliberate repositioning of 
the needle, and moves the playhead to 
the needle’s absolute position, as if it were 
in ABS mode. Accidental skipping of the 
needle does not reposition the playhead. 
(REL mode only)

Use Auto Gain

Auto gain enables you to set a uniform 
volume level for the tracks in your library. 
When a track is in auto gain mode, the 
track gain knob appears recessed.
  Check this box to enable auto gain. 
Provided you have analyzed your files, 
your tracks will now be loaded with the 
auto gain applied.
  Next to this

 

box is a drop down menu, 

in which you set the target gain volume 
level.
  To find the optimum setting, load a track 
with an average volume level onto one of 
the Virtual Decks. Now play the track, and 
take note of the volume and LED lights 
inside the software.
  The idea is for the track volume to 
be sitting just under the clipping point 
(indicated by the LED meter red-lining). If 
the track is too quiet, unload it, then go to 
the Playback setup screen and boost the 
auto gain dB value more.
  Once you’ve made this adjustment, 
load the same track onto the Virtual Deck 
again. You’ll notice that the volume knob 
has automatically adjusted itself.
  Keep making adjustments on the same 
track until it’s just below the clipping 
point. Once this is set you won’t need to 
adjust the target gain level ever again.
  Because the track you used had an 
average volume level, most of the other 
tracks in your library should be around the 
same volume. You may still need to make 
minor adjustments to some individual 
tracks, but once that’s done these will 
stay saved in the ID3 tag of the file.

TIP: Slightly too quiet is always better 
than too loud. If your LED meter is in 
the red, it is likely that it is clipping. Not 
only does clipping not sound very nice, 
it can damage your equipment.

Hi-Fi Resampler

This significantly reduces digital distortion 
at very slow or very fast record speeds, 
increasing the CPU load slightly. This 
option is off by default, the old resampler 
is used when switched off.
