Check the Audio Playback devices. When you connect your hardware to your Windows computer, your operating system may secure your hardware as the default soundcard for playback and recording in Windows. If this happens, Serato software will not be able to access your hardware's soundcard and therefore will not connect.

New features in detail

MIDI

MIDI is set up using the MIDI button at the top of the screen. Turning this on puts you in MIDI learn mode. When in MIDI learn mode, hovering over any UI control button, knob, or other parameter will display a pop-up box showing the MIDI assignment for that control. Clicking on the UI control will display a pop-up box showing MIDI assignment options. Touching a MIDI control will assign the midi control to the UI control.
Note:
The Scratch Live virtual decks are not assignable to MIDI control. Support for additional MIDI devices with platter control will be included in Scratch Live 1.8.1.

Off-Line player

The off line player allows you to do more preparation without any hardware connected.
The keyboard shortcuts are the same as for the left deck - remember you can click on the [b]?[/b] button for a full list of shortcuts.

AAC support

AAC files are now supported exactly like MP3, AIFF and WAV files. If you do not wish to include AAC files in your song library, turn off the option 'import AAC files' on the library tab of the setup screen.

New Relative mode options

There are two new options in the vinyl control tab on the setup screen which affect relative mode:

Scratch Live Messing Up When Not Connected Lyrics

Drop to absolute position

Means that you can needle drop to the absolute position in relative mode. When the needle is lifted off the record for more that 0.5 seconds and moved to a different groove, The playhead will jump to the absolute position. This means you can now skip around the track with the needle but still use cues and loops.

Drop to cue points

Means that you can needle drop to cue points in relative mode. Repositioning the needle to within any of the first 5 minutes on the control vinyl will jump to those corresponding cue points. In other words, moving the needle to within the first minute will perform a needle drop to the first cue point. Moving it to within the second minute will needle drop to the second cue point and so on. If no cue points exist for a track, the first minute will also restart the track.

Restart track on vinyl lead-in

Bringing the needle to the lead in before the first minute will restart the track. This option is always on. Note that if drop to absolute position is on, the vinyl offset setting is considered to be the start of the track.

Auto-looping

5 auto-loop buttons are available on screen at any one time. They range from 1/8 to 32 beats. The user can select the autoloop range with the < and > buttons.
Pressing auto-loop for n bars will create a loop start point from the nearest beat to the playhead (within reason), and set a loop endpoint n bars in the future. Pressing auto-loop 1 while auto-loop 1 is active will deactivate the loop. Pressing a different auto-loop button while looping is active will extend the endpoint of the current loop to the appropriate new auto-loop length.
As the auto-loop buttons require the track bpm to be set to work, if no track bpm is set, the auto-loop buttons are greyed out.
You can also save an auto-loop to the next available slot. When using an auto-loop, a save button is visible where the lock loop button normally is.

Check for Updates

There is now a 'check for updates' button on the setup screen. It sits below the version number on the bottom left of the setup screen. Pressing the button opens a page in your web browser. This web page will notify you if there are any updates available for your Scratch Live software.

New TTM 57SL effects

The new effects come with the new v3 firmware. To update your mixer to get the new effects, with your TTM 57SL connected, go to the hardware tab on the setup screen, and click update.
The v3 firmware should be fully compatible with 1.7.4 (The new effects just aren't selectable in 1.7.4).
What's new in v3:

  • A new Phaser effect.
  • A new Flanger effect.
  • The Desecrator effect (bit crusher and downsampler).
  • HP Echo
  • HP Hold Echo

Phaser:

  • Is a pre-fader effect
  • P1 Controls the design frequency
  • P1 second function taps the bpm as per the filter effects
  • P2 Controls the feedback
  • P2 second function controls the phaser depth

Flanger:

  • Is a pre-fader effect
  • P1 controls the base delay. This is in ms.
  • P1 second function taps the bpm. The bpm affects the LFO sweep rate
  • P2 controls feedback which provides fullness to the flanger effect
  • P2 second function controls the depth which represents the peak delay change.

Desecrator:

  • Is a pre-fader effect
  • P1 controls the drive.
  • P2 controls the down sampler.
  • P2 second function controls the bit depth

HP Echo:

  • The standard Echo, with a high pass filter added to remove the bass

HP Hold Echo:

  • The standard Hold Echo, with a high pass filter added to remove the bass

LFO syncing - A single tap of the bpm button resyncs the LFO.

Relocate lost files

There is a new button in the library tab of the setup screen, called 'relocate lost files'.
If you drag a folder onto this button, it will go through that folder (and all the folders within that folder) looking for files that match with tracks Scratch Live has marked as missing. This means you can move stuff all over your harddrive, and then drag your music folder(s) onto this button and all the missing files will be automatically fixed.

Auto-Backup

For every drive containing the ScratchLIVE folder, Auto-Backup will backup this folder every week, on ScratchLIVE startup.

The ScratchLIVE folder is backed up to a folder called ScratchLIVEBackup, found in the same place as the ScratchLIVE folder.

Auto-Backup will only keep ONE backup at a time, i.e. it will always back up to the same folder.

Miscellaneous changes

Crossover mac para que sirve en. - Fixed dropouts for some people that could be caused by the 'auto-fill overviews' option. As this problem only affects certain users, feedback is appreciated as to whether it has fixed the problem for you.
Note: A side effect of the fix is that Auto-gain is now no longer calculated on the fly when loaded to a deck, however the Overview Builder and Offline player still calculate auto-gain.
- Turning off 'read iTunes library' now no longer causes the library to rescan all tags.
- Fixed bug where renaming a track in iTunes would cause two song entries to appear in the library when 'read iTunes library' is on.
- Fixed mac issue where drag and drop of files onto an area that doesn't accept files would cause mouse clicks to stop working.
- Fixed when stopping recording, not revealing the recording in the recorded crate
- Added support for the deck level meters when recording channels A or B with the TTM 57SL

Scratch Live 2.5 Bug Fixes

Scratch Live Messing Up When Not Connected To Internet

Alongside these key features Scratch Live 2.5 also includes bug fixes to continue the unparalleled level of stability and performance that Serato software is known for.

Scratch Live Messing Up When Not Connected Back

Some examples of the bug fixes are:

Scratch Live Messing Up When Not Connected Today

  • Mixtape .als recordings now work with Ableton Live 9.
  • Fixed a bug where the beatgrid lock wasn't being saved and loaded to/from the file; it was only being saved to the database.
  • The Sixty-Eight record source is now correctly loaded from preferences.
  • Fixed a bug where the CDJ-350 was sending both MIDI and HID messages which meant it could possibly fire two different Scratch Live events at the same time.
  • Fixed a bug where the DJFX deck assignments wouldn't save to preferences if going from being 'on' initially, to 'off'.
