Sampling From Vinyl

You can use the SL4 interface to sample

from vinyl or any other sound source.

Click the  triangle next to the record

button to select from the Aux, 1, 2, 3 or 4

input.

TIP: Remember that ctrl-n turns

recording on and off, and you can load

a recording without saving it using shift

+ left arrow or shift + right arrow. Drop

the needle into a loud part of the track,

record a few seconds, and then shift

+ left arrow or shift + right arrow to

load it on to the Virtual Deck. This way

you can double-check your levels and

adjust with the Gain control.

Recording Your Mix

To record your DJ mix in Scratch Live:

1. Connect an output (i.e., booth, session,

aux or 2nd master output) from your DJ

mixer into the AUX input of the SL4.

2. Select AUX as the record source in

Scratch Live.

3. Adjust the input level to a suitable

volume. Be sure the red overload LED

stays off.

4. Begin recording. Details are the same

as steps 3 to 7 under RECORDING.

Recording Bit Depth

There is an option for Recording Bit Depth

with the SL4 on the Hardware tab of the

Setup screen. Choose either 16-bit (CD

quality, smaller le size) or 24-bit (high

quality, larger le size).See “Recording

Bit Depth” on page 32.

Scratch Live allows you to record one of

ve stereo signals from the SL4:

• 1 in

• 2 in

• 3 in

• 4 in

• Aux in

Stereo recording is possible even while

using two stereo vinyl control inputs.

1. Select the RECORD button at the left of

the screen to open the Record controls.

2. Choose the Input Source by clicking

on the downward arrow (icon) to get the

drop menu.

3. Click the red record icon to start

recording.

4. The record icon ashes while recording

and the display shows the elapsed

recording time.

5. Click the ashing record icon again to

stop the recording.

6. To save the recording, type in a name

for the recording and click the save icon.

7. The recording is automatically placed

in a crate named “RECORDED”. If the

crate does not already exist, it will be

created automatically.

8. To start a new recording without saving,

simply click the record button again.

Recordings can be loaded onto the

Decks, renamed, and managed like other

les. Recordings are saved as 24-bit, 48

kHz stereo AIFF les by default.

Recordings are saved in “My

Documents\My Music\_Serato_\

Recording” in Windows XP, “Libraries\

Music\_Serato_\Recording” in Windows 7,

and “~/Music/_Serato_/Recording Temp”

on a Mac.

Record Gain Knob

Adjust the record level using this Gain

knob. The meter reveals the level of your

audio. Ideally the meter should sit just

below the red, meaning your signal is as

loud as it can be without clipping.

NOTE: If you turn the record Gain

knob down and the red clip led is still

illuminated, the signal is clipping the

input of the SL4. Turn down the level at

your audio source before it reaches the

SL4.

TIPS

• The keyboard shortcut ctrl-n turns

recording on and off.

• Load a recording without saving it using

the shortcut keys shift left arrow to the

Left Deck or shift right arrow to the Right

Deck.

NOTE: Recording ﬁles are automatically

split when the recording exceeds 3

hours (16-bit) or 1 hour 50 minutes (24-

bit).
