RANE TTM 57SL MIXER FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.4.4

Mac Users: before installing, nd the

Scratch Live application (by default it is in

the Applications folder), and rename it -

for example Scratch Live 2.0.0. When you

install the new version, the old application

will not be overwritten, and you can

choose which version you want to run by

going into the folder and double clicking

on the application. You can also do this

if you have already installed the latest

version - just rename the application (eg.

to Scratch Live 2.1.1), and then reinstall

the earlier version.

Windows Users: before installing, nd the

Scratch Live executable (by default it is

in C:\Program les\Serato\ScratchLIVE),

and rename it - for example Scratch

Live 2.0.0.exe. When you install the new

version, the old executable will not be

overwritten, and you can choose which

version you want to run by going into the

folder and double-clicking the executable.

You can also do this if you have already

installed the latest version — just rename

the executable (eg. to Scratch Live

2.1.1.exe), and then reinstall the earlier

version.

Firmware Check

On occasion new rmware updates are

included within Scratch Live software

updates. After updating, run Scratch

Live and click the Hardware tab in the

Setup screen to see if new rmware is

installable. See “Update Firmware” on

page 33.

Using the 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.

Connecting Your

Hardware

System Overview

The Scratch Live control records and

CDs are pressed with an audible tone

specically developed for controlling

Scratch Live.

The Scratch Live audio hardware

converts the control signal coming from

each deck into digital audio, to be sent

via USB to the Scratch Live software,

which decodes that signal into a stream of

information based on what the DJ is doing

with the control disc. A virtual ‘Deck’

replicates the movements of the control

disc. Audio les loaded onto the Virtual

Decks are then played back through the

outputs of the hardware. Any manipulation

of the control discs is reproduced on the

audio, effectively emulating vinyl control of

the les loaded in software.

Connecting a TTM 57SL

To set up the TTM 57SL for Scratch Live,

using two turntables or CD players to

control the software playback, follow this

quick guide.

1. Connect your left deck’s output cable to

the PGM input 1 sockets on the rear of

the mixer, and your right deck’s outputs

into input 3.

2. Match the L channel from each of your

decks (usually white) with the white

(uppermost) RCA sockets on the mixer

and R (usually red) with the red sockets.

This is important to give Scratch Live

the correct direction of playback.

If your songs play backwards, you

probably have the left and right channels

swapped from your deck.

3. Set the input level dip switches for

inputs 1 and 3 to LINE or PHONO to

match the output level of the respective

decks. (In general, PHONO for

turntables, and LINE for CD players).

For example

if you have

one turntable

connected to

input 1 and a

CD player connected to input 2, push

dip switch 1 down into the PHONO

position, and dipswitch 3 up into the

LINE position. See “PGM Inputs 1-4” on

page 7.

4. Select Scratch Live as the audio

source for the mixer by turning the input

selector knobs on the top of the TTM

57SL to D1 and D2 on the PGM1 and

PGM2 channels respectively

Turntable Setup

1. Set the tone arms to the specic

recommendations of the cartridge used,

such that the needle never leaves the

record, but not heavy enough that it

heats up signicantly. Both produce

poor tracking.

2. Grounding is extremely important

when using Scratch Live. Make sure

you have good connections from the

ground wires of your turntables to the

grounding posts of the TTM 57SL. 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.

CD Player Setup

Ensure the dip switch for the CD player

input on the TTM 57SL is set correctly

to accept a LINE level signal. See “PGM

Inputs 1-4” on page 7.

Disable all built-in effects on the CD

player, including keylock/master tempo.
