Maximum Screen Updates

This slider allows you to throttle back the 
screen refresh rate. Users with slower 
computers might like to do this if they 
are having performance issues. It could 
also be useful if you want to limit Scratch 
Live’s processor usage, for example if you 
are running a recording program at the 
same time. The default setting is 60 Hz, 
or refreshed 60 times per second. This 
setting applies to the entire screen (i.e. the 
Virtual Decks, the Waveforms, the Library, 
and the Setup screen).

Audio Cache

Use this slider to set the amount of audio 
that is loaded into memory. A small 
audio cache will place less load on your 
computer, and the tracks will load faster. 
A large audio cache will give you a bigger 
view of the waveform when the main 
waveform view is zoomed out. The default 
is 15 seconds.

Show Album Art On Deck

Check this option to show the album art 
for your song next to the track information 
display on each Virtual Deck.

Plugins

SP-6 Sample Player

Use the check box to enable and disable 
the SP-6 sample player plugin. The SP-6 
is enabled by default.

DJ-FX

Use the check box to enable and disable 
the DJ-FX plugin. The DJ-FX plugin is 
disabled by default.

Serato Playlists

Use the check boxes to enable and 
disable the Serato Playlists plugin and the 
Live Playlists feature. These are disabled 
by default.

Serato Video

This optional software plugin for Scratch 
Live adds the ability to play and mix 
video files. Serato Video is supported and 
available only from 

serato.com

.

Font Size

Adjust this slider to increase and decrease 
the font size for the main library and 
crates area.

TIP: You can also use the keyboard 
shortcuts ctrl + and ctrl – to increase 
and decrease the font size.

Album Art Size

Adjust this slider to set the maximum 
album art size for any of the album art 
display modes. The artwork will still get 
larger if required to fit the track and will 
still scale with the library zoom keyboard 
shortcut.
