Setting up your turntables

1. Set the tone arms to the specific recommendations of the 

cartridge used, such that the needle never leaves the record, but 

not heavy enough that it heats up significantly. Both produce 

poor tracking.

2. If the track plays backwards, try swapping the left and right 

cables. The inputs from your turntables might be the wrong 

way around. Left=white, Right=red.

3. Grounding is extremely important when using Scratch 

LIVE

Make sure you have good connections from the ground wires 

of your turntables to the grounding post of your DJ mixer. 

All DJ mixers with turntable inputs have built in grounding 

points for this purpose. If you do not ground your turntables 

properly, the control signal will be noisy and the tracking of 

the record position will be erratic. (See 

signal threshold

 on 

the next page.

Tip: We recommend Shure M44-7 needles for use with Scratch 

LIVE

, due to their high output volume, excellent tracking 

and low record wear.

Starting the software

Close all other programs on your Mac or PC. When you load 

Scratch 

LIVE

 for the first time, you will see the screen below.

Troubleshoot: The TTM 57SL mixer is not recognized

It takes five seconds for Scratch 

LIVE

 to detect the TTM 57SL. 

The mixer can be unplugged at any time; you do not need to exit 

Scratch 

LIVE

 before disconnecting the hardware. In some situa-

tions you might need to “wake up” your USB port by unplugging 

and re-plugging in the TTM 57SL for Scratch 

LIVE

 to recognize 

it. Use the supplied USB cable — longer lengths are not recom

-

mended. On some Windows machines each USB port is treated 

separately, so you will need to install the driver separately for each 

USB port.

Using tool tips

Click on the 

?

 icon to enable tool tips. Tool tips provide a handy 

way to learn the various features of Scratch 

LIVE

. Move the mouse 

over a section of the screen to bring up a context-sensitive tool 

tip. Holding the mouse over the 

?

 button with tool tips turned 

on will show you a list of all keyboard shortcuts.

Tool tips are available in several languages. Scratch 

LIVE

 will 

display the tool tips in the language that your computer is set to. 

If your language is not available, the tool tips will be displayed in 

English.
