RANE SL4 FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.5.0

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 le 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 rst, 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 rst 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 nger 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 (‘ipping

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 les,

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 nd 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 le.

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 signicantly 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.
