Leave the power unplugged until

everything else is connected!

PGM Inputs 1-4

The TTM 57SL has two stereo analog

inputs for PGM 1 and two stereo analog

inputs for PGM 2. Any of these analog

inputs may be set for Line Input or Phono

Input using the LINE / PHONO switches

located on the rear panel. Up is LINE

and Down is PHONO. Unused inputs are

best set to LINE. Attach your turntable’s

ground wires to the Phono Ground

connectors.

Two stereo digital inputs from the USB

connection, Digital 1 and Digital 2, are

also available for PGM 1 and PGM 2. It

is possible to select any combination of

digital and analog signals.

Any of the four analog inputs may be

used for Scratch Live vinyl emulation

control. Input 1 or Input 2 may be selected

for Scratch Live Virtual Deck 1 control.

Input 3 or 4 may be selected for Scratch

Live Virtual Deck 2 control. Control input

sources are selected using the Scratch

Live software. As will be discussed later

in Program Controls, if a source has been

selected for vinyl emulation control by

the Scratch Live software, the number is

back-lit as a reminder that the source is

selected for control.

SET THE UNUSED INPUTS TO LINE

Mic Input

The Mic Input will accept either

a balanced ¼" TRS (tip-ring

sleeve) plug or an unbalanced

TS (tip-sleeve) plug. Any type of

microphone may be used, except

those that require phantom

power to operate. See “Mic

Level and EQ” on page 9.

Analog Outputs

Main, Booth and Aux outputs each have

their own Level control, and all come from

the same “Main Mix” signal. The Main

output is on balanced XLR jacks with pin

2 “hot” per AES standards. The Booth

output is on balanced ¼" TRS (tip-ring-

sleeve) jacks, though unbalanced TS

(tip-sleeve) plugs may be used. The Aux

output is on regular unbalanced RCA

jacks. Because all signals are identical,

users may use any of these outputs as the

“main” output if a different cable type is

required for system connection.

Rane recommends balanced wiring

for the strongest signal and rejection of

hum and noise. If your cable to the amp

rack is less than 10 feet (3 meters), you

can often get away with an unbalanced

cable. See the RaneNote “Sound System

Interconnection” at www.rane.com for

details and cable wiring.

Connecting

the Mixer

USB Streaming Audio

There are eight channels of

streaming audio over the

USB 1.1 port. Two stereo

channels from the computer

and two stereo channels to the computer.

While internal processing is all 24-bit 44.1

kHz, streaming audio is 16-bit 44.1 kHz.

If the blue indicator is on, the device is

connected and communicating with the

computer.

Two stereo signals from the computer

appear as Digital 1 and Digital 2 inputs.

These stereo digital signals may be

selected for PGM 1 and/or PGM 2 (see

source selection in the Program Controls

section). As well as the two stereo

channels sent to the computer for vinyl

emulation control, one stereo pair can also

be sent to your computer for recording.

See “Recording” on page 32.

When not using the Scratch Live

software, the mixer appears as two

four-channel sound cards with stereo in

and stereo out. The source for the stereo

output channels must be selected in your

software. The following signals may be

selected as the source for either digital

output to the computer:

• PGM 1 Pre- or Post- Fader

• PGM 2 Pre- or Post-Fader

• Main Mix

• AUX BUS (sum of the MIC, AUX and

FlexFX Return).

Power Supply

The TTM 57SL features

an internal universal

switching power

supply that operates

on any AC mains 100

to 240 VAC, 50 or 60

Hz (most places in

the world). All that is

required when traveling

is the appropriate IEC line cord which is

usually readily available. The universal

supply is a major plus for the traveling DJ.

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

Gain

These “trim” controls adjust the

selected input to match other

inputs. These controls have a

built-in Limiter that prevents the

signal from clipping regardless of the Gain

setting. If increasing the Gain does not

increase the signal level, then the signal

is already at maximum and the Limiter is

controlling the signal to prevent clipping.

The Gain range is +15 dB to off.

Pan

These controls pan the signal

between the Left and Right

outputs.

High / Mid / Low EQ

The control range is OFF to

+6 dB. These use 2nd-order,

Linkwitz-Riley, Accelerated

Slope™ lters. The Low-Mid

cross-point is 300 Hz. The

Mid-High cross-point is 4

kHz.

Kill switches provide

instant-off for each control.

The skull lights red and

the band is off when its Kill

switch is pressed. When the switch is

released, the EQ goes back to the setting

of its EQ control. These switches may

be set to momentary or toggle operation

within the Scratch Live software.

See

“Latch Kill Switches” on page 34.

Faders

Magnetic faders are used

for both Channel Faders and

Crossfader (the same faders

used in the TTM 56S). Each

fader has an independent

Contour control and a

Reverse switch.

Contour

These controls provide a full

range of fader adjustment

from constant power (Slow)

to extremely fast cut (Fast).

Reverse

These switches are provided for

each fader just to the right of

each Contour control. Reverse

toggles on (lit green) and off with each

push of the switch. These switches are

slightly recessed to prevent accidental

engagement.

Channel Swap

This button reverses the

channel assignment for all

three faders. Pressing the switch toggles

Channel Swap on and off. When the

yellow indicator is lit, Channel Swap is

engaged. When channels are swapped,

the PGM 1 Fader controls PGM 2 and

the PGM 2 Fader controls PGM 1.

PGM 1 is also moved from the A side

of the Crossfader to the B side of the

Crossfader. Fader Contour and Reverse

controls stay with the original Fader. Fader

1 Contour and Reverse is always with

the left Fader and Fader 2 Contour and

Reverse is always with the right Fader.

This switch is slightly recessed to prevent

accidental engagement.

Meter

The Meter has two modes

of operation. The METER

switch toggles between

Dual Mono Cue and Stereo House.

•

When this indicator is lit green, the

Meter displays the Stereo Mix sent to all

three outputs.

•

When this indicator is off, the Meter

displays Dual Mono Cue, to show the

levels of PGM 1 and PGM 2.

The top red OL indicator lights at 0 dBFS

(clipping). The Meter displays loudness

with a solid string of lights, and how close

you are to clipping with a moving dot. If

the red OL indicator lights, turn the level

down using the Gain control.

PGM 2 selects:

• Analog-3 (A3)

• Analog-4 (A4)

• Digital-1 (D1)

The Analog Inputs come from your

turntables or CD players. The Digital

Inputs come from the Virtual Decks in the

Scratch Live software. If the number for

A1 or A2 is illuminated, the Input has been

selected by the Scratch Live software as

the control source input for Deck One. If

the number for A3 or A4 is illuminated,

the Input has been selected by Scratch

Live as the control source input for Deck

Two. The backlit number is a reminder that

this source may be a control signal and

not audio. You may select a control input

and use it as a normal analog input at any

time without de-selecting it for control in

Scratch Live, but remember that if you

are playing a control record or CD, you

will hear the control signal. See “Control

Source” on page 34.

Mixer

Controls

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

Phones

The headphone output can

deliver very high volume to some

headphones. To avoid pain,

never put headphones on your

head before plugging them in. Always

start with the PHONES Level turned

down, and then turn it up to the desired

level.

Cue

This slider pans between

PGM 1 and PGM 2 in the

headphones when the

Master Cue light is off. When Master Cue

is on, this control has no effect. The cue

signals are post-EQ and pre-fader.

Master Cue

Press this switch (green light

on) to hear the Main Mix in

the headphones. When this light is off, the

Cue slider takes over.

FlexFX Loop

This stereo loop connects an

external effects processor,

post-fader. The signals coming

from the PGM 1 fader, the PGM 2 fader,

or both may be routed to the FlexFX loop.

This allows a single external effects unit to

process PGM 1 and/or PGM 2.

NOTE: This Loop is for an external

effects unit. For details on the built-in

internal effects, See “Effects” on page

41.

FlexFX switches are provided for PGM 1

and PGM 2. Pressing the FlexFX switch

lights the green indicator and sends the

signal to the external FlexFX Loop. Press

the switch again to stop sending signal to

the loop (the green indicator goes dark).

FlexFX jacks are unbalanced mono ¼" TS

(Tip/Sleeve). SEND jacks provide output

to the effects processor. RETURN jacks

provide input from the effects processor.

Effects insert devices with a single in/

out TRS jack place Send on the TIP and

Return on the RING. For this application,

you will need a “Y” cable, as shown

below.

Send signals may be used as another

auxiliary output, allowing PGM 1, PGM

2 or both to be routed to an external

source (another amp or recorder). If you

wish to disconnect your external effects

processor, it is not necessary to connect

cables from FlexFX Send to FlexFX

Return, as the TTM 57SL detects the

presence of cables, and automatically

connects the Send and Return when a

cable is not connected.

Any signal assigned to the FlexFX Loop

will be processed by any internal digital

effect assigned to the AUX BUS. This has

the advantage of allowing one of the two

internal effects to be assigned to the AUX

BUS and then assigning PGM 1 and/or

PGM 2 to the FlexFX Loop.

Aux In

This adjusts the level of the

Auxiliary Input signal. This is a

full-range control providing Off

to +6 dB gain adjustment.

Mic Level and EQ

The MIC ON switch engages

the Mic. The green indicator

is lit when the MIC is

engaged. MIC LEVEL adjusts

the Mic gain over a range of

Off to +50 dB. Set the gain

where you want it and use

the MIC ON switch to turn

the MIC on and off. The OL

indicator lights when the

signal reaches clipping. If

this lights red, turn the MIC

LEVEL down. MIC HIGH and

MIC LOW tone controls allow

you to adjust the bass and treble of the

MIC Input signal.

Output Levels

Output Level controls

are provided for MAIN,

BOOTH and AUX Outputs.

All three outputs have the

same Main Mix source.

As shown previously in

Analog Outputs (on page

Manual-3), the Main output

is a balanced output on

XLR connectors, the Booth

output is a balanced

signal on TRS connectors

and the AUX output is an

unbalanced signal on RCA connectors.

This combination of jacks allows you to

hook into other equipment regardless of

the connector type.

Headphone Cueing

The Cueing system allows users to

Pan the Cue from PGM 1 to PGM 2 or

select the Master Mix. Cueing is also

provided for the internal digital effects,

covered on page-10. Both 3.5 mm

and ¼” jacks are provided. These can

be used simultaneously, but using only

one at a time yields more power to the

headphones.

Starting the Software

Close all other programs on your Mac or

PC. When you load Scratch Live for the

rst time, you will see the screen shown

below:

Troubleshooting

The TTM 57SL mixer is not recognized.

It takes ve 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. Use the supplied USB cable —

longer lengths are not recommended. On

some Windows machines each USB port

is treated separately, so you will need to

install the driver separately for each USB

port. If the above screen does not show

within ten seconds, try unplugging and

replugging the USB cable.

Installing More Than 1 Version

Installing a new version will by default

overwrite any previous version you had

installed, however it is easy to have more

than one version of Scratch Live installed

if you wish.

Getting

Started

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.

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

Calibrating

Scratch Live

Since Scratch Live is controlled by an

analog signal, there is no guarantee of

what state that signal will be in by the time

the software gets to interpret it. Therefore,

Scratch Live needs to be able to handle a

wide range of signals, and be congurable

to use them optimally. Calibrating is just

conguring the software to your situation.

Calibration is equally important for both

vinyl and CD users of Scratch Live.

There are two parts to the Scratch Live

control signal: The directional tone, and

the noise map. Listening to the control

vinyl, the directional tone is the 1 kHz

tone. The noise map sounds like random

noise over the top of the tone.

The directional tone provides the

current speed and direction of the record,

while the noise map tells the software

precisely where on the record the needle

is currently.

The Noise Threshold

A threshold is a lower limit, below which

a process will not occur. In the case of

Scratch Live, the noise threshold is the

limit below which the input signal will not

be interpreted as control signal; in other

words if it’s below the threshold, it is

considered noise and ignored.

This setting is necessary because a

stylus is very sensitive, and will inevitably

pick up noise from the environment as

well as the signal on the record, especially

in the noisy environment of a live show.

How to Calibrate Scratch Live

With music playing in the background

(from any source), put your needle on

record with the turntable stopped. If

you are using CD players, the same

rules apply. Have the CD deck paused

or stopped while calibrating. Ensure the

input level in Scratch Live is set correctly

to accept a LINE level signal. See “PGM

Inputs 1-4” on page 7.

In the Setup screen, click and hold the

Estimate button until the slider stops

moving. Moving the threshold slider to the

left will make Scratch Live more sensitive

to slow record movement, but also more

sensitive to background noise.

Repeat the process for each deck.

Things to remember:

• Your needle must be on the record.

• Your turntable (or CD player) must be

stationary.

• The background music playing must be

at a similar level to which you will play

your set at.

• Calibrate Scratch Live every time you

play.

TIP: If the slider jumps to the far right,

then you have a problem with noise

in your turntables/CD players/mixer.

Check all your connections and make

sure your equipment is well grounded.

In some situations you will not be able

to improve the signal quality, and you

will have to play on regardless. In this

situation, stick to REL mode.

The Scopes

The scopes on the Setup screen display

the input signal as a phase diagram. The

key factors to look at on the scope display

are crisp clean lines, round shape, and

the tracking percentage in the lower right

corner.

Start both turntables or CD players. You

will see green rings appear in the scope

view, as shown above.

For optimal performance the inner ring

should be as close to circular as possible.

Use the scope zoom slider (1x to 16x)

to zoom in or out as necessary. Use the

scope L/R Balance and P/A Balance

controls to adjust the shape of the inner

ring.

The number in the top left corner of the

scope view gives the current absolute

position within the control record or CD.

The number in the top right corner is

the current speed in RPM. In the bottom

left is the current threshold setting, and

the number in the bottom right shows

the percentage of readable signal – this

number should be close to 85% when

your system is calibrated properly.

Calibration Troubleshooting

After calibration, the number in the upper

right corner of the scope view should say

0.0 while the needle is on the record and

the turntable is stopped.

If that number is uctuating then

manually move the Estimate slider to the

right until that number is stable at 0.0.

If you’ve moved the slider all the way

to -24 and its still uctuating then you

have a grounding or interference problem

somewhere in the chain.

If so, the rst thing to check is that

the grounding wire coming from your

turntable is connected to a TTM 57SL

grounding post.

Next, make sure that your mixer isn’t

sitting next to a power source such as a

power strip or power box and that your

RCA cables aren’t lying across other

power conducting cables.

If you are still experiencing issues, you

might have to adjust the placement of

your setup. For example, make sure bass

bins aren’t directly under the turntables.

If you have trouble getting the rings

circular, you probably need to clean or

change your needles.

If the image appears as a line, then

you have a missing channel. Check your

RCA connections and needles. See

“Scope Readings and Fixes” on page

52.

Importing

and Playing

Music

Importing Your Music

The easiest way to load music into your

library is by using the Files button:

1. Click on the Files button to open the

les panel. The left side of this window

displays various locations on your

computer hard drive (and external

drives if you have one). Click on these

locations to navigate your computer and

nd your music. By default, your music

will usually be found in either “Music”

(Mac) or “My Music” (Windows).

2. Once you have located your music,

drag the folder or les you want to

import onto the purple “ All...” icon.

This is located to the left of your screen

at the top of the crates and playlist

window. If you wish to import all of your

music, just drag your whole music folder

onto this icon.

TIP: You can also import by dragging

ﬁles and folders directly from Windows

Explorer (PC version) or Finder (Mac

version) into the Scratch Live library.

TIP: Adjust the

size of the Files

window by

clicking and dragging near the three

dots up or down. The vertical crates

window adjusts left and right.

Supported File Types

Scratch Live supports xed and variable

bit rate .MP3, .MP4, Ogg Vorbis, .AAC,

.AIFF, .ALAC, .WAV and Whitelabel (wl.

mp3) le types. M3U playlists are also

supported. For more on Whitelabel.net

audio les, see “Whitelabel.net” on page

14.

NOTE: iTunes Music Store DRM ﬁles

cannot be played back by Scratch Live.

iTunes Plus ﬁles are DRM-free.

Playing Music

Click on the “ All...” icon to show all the

tracks in your library. Use the keyboard

shortcut Shift + Left Arrow to load the

highlighted track on to the Left Deck, and

Shift + Right Arrow to load the highlighted

track on to the Right Deck.

TIP: You can also load tracks to Virtual

Decks using the mouse. Click and drag

a track from the track list area on to

either Deck.

To start playing a track, simply put

the needle on the record and start the

turntable. The track will start playing as

soon as it detects the signal from the

control vinyl (or CD).

In ABS mode, the track will play from

the position dictated by the placement of

the needle on the record. If you place the

needle at the beginning of the record, the

track will start playing from the beginning.

You can skip through the track by picking

up the needle and placing it further into

the record, just as with regular records

(this is known as needle dropping). See

“Scratch Live Modes” on page 19.

Track Display

When a track is loaded, the track name,

artist and length are displayed in the track

title bar, and the Virtual Deck shows a

solid black line.

If the track has BPM or key information

written in the tag this will also be

displayed. See ““Set Auto-BPM” on

page 14.

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

Preparing

Your Files

Analyzing Files

Before you play your music in Scratch

Live, It is important to rst analyze your

les.

The analyze les function processes

the songs in your library to detect le

corruption, saves the waveform overview

to an ID3 tag*, and calculates auto-gain

and BPM values.

How to Analyze Files

To analyze les start Scratch Live with

the TTM 57SL disconnected. On the left

side of the main screen, click the Analyze

Files button to automatically build the

overviews for all the tracks in your library.

TIP: You can drag and drop individual

folders, crates or ﬁles onto this button

to force the building of overviews at

any time.

About Corrupt Files

If Scratch Live detects a corrupt

le it will tag it with a corrupt le

icon:

It is very important that you delete ANY

corrupt les from your library as they can

cause Scratch Live to crash regardless

if you play the le or not. See “Status

Icons” on page 30 and “Corrupt File

Descriptions and Diagnoses” on page

51.

Set Auto-BPM

If this option is checked while analyzing

les, Scratch Live will calculate the

estimated tempos of your les. If Scratch

Live is condent that the Auto BPM

estimate for a le is accurate, it will be

written to an ID3 tag* in the le. The Auto

BPM function will not be applied if the

track already contains BPM information.

To re-analyze these les and use Auto

BPM or auto gain, drag them onto the

Analyze Files button. If you know your

le’s BPM will fall within a certain range,

use the range drop down to avoid double

or half value BPMs being calculated.

*NOTE: ID3 tags contain data about

your tracks and are saved inside the

ﬁle. Genre, track name and artist are

examples of common tag information.

See “Editing ID3 tags” on page 30.

The Ofﬂine Player

The ofine player is a useful tool for

preparing crates, auditioning tracks, and

setting cue and loop points. The ofine

player is available when Scratch Live

hardware is not connected, and outputs

through the current default audio device.

Load a track to the ofine player by

dragging and dropping onto the deck, or

pressing shift + left arrow. If the end of the

loaded track is reached, the next track in

the current playlist is played automatically.

Click the Ofine Player Controls button

(outlined below) to expand and hide the

ofine player controls.

Playback

Control

The Control Record

The control record has two sides. The

rst side is 10 minutes long and contains

the Vinyl Scroll section. The second side

is 15 minutes long. Scratch Live can be

congured to work with records playing

at either 33 RPM or 45 RPM, depending

on your preference. The record has thin

marks every minute, and a thicker mark

every 5 minutes (when playing at 33

RPM). These marks are to assist you when

using needle dropping to move through

the track. These marks do not affect the

playback of the track.

The mode will switch when it reaches

the end of the record so your track won’t

stop. See”Absolute Mode” on page

19.

The Control CD

The control CD

has two tracks.

The rst track is 15

minutes long and

controls playback.

The second track

is 40 seconds long

and controls vinyl

scroll.

Vinyl Scroll

Vinyl Scroll allows you to select and load

tracks using only your turntables (or CD

player) – no contact with the computer

necessary! To use Vinyl Scroll with

turntables, lift the needle off the record

and drop it into special “bonus track”

section at the end of the record’s A side.

The movement of the control disk now

controls the selected track within your

library. Lift the needle out of the Vinyl

Scroll section of the record and into the

lead out (between the Vinyl Scroll area and

the end of the record) to change crates

or iTunes playlists. Go back to the Vinyl

Scroll area of the record to choose a track

within the crate or playlist. Once you have

found the track you wish to play, put the

needle back at the beginning of the record

and it will load automatically. This feature

is available to CD users. Go to track 2 on

the control CD to access Vinyl Scroll. Find

the track you want to load, and go back to

track 1.

The track you selected will be loaded

and ready to play. You can reverse the

direction of Vinyl Scroll and set the

sensitivity in the Setup screen.

TIP: You can also use Vinyl Scroll in the

Prepare window. See the options for

“Vinyl Control” on page 35.

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

Visual Aids

When the track is playing several

waveforms are displayed. Each shows a

different aspect of the track being played.

Tempo Matching Display

The Tempo Matching display area

provides a helpful tool for beat matching.

Scratch Live detects the beats within the

track, and places a row of orange peaks

(for the track on the left side) above a

row of blue peaks (for the track on the

right side) in the Tempo Matching display.

When the two tracks are matched to the

same tempo, the peaks will line up. Note

that the tempo display is aligned with the

beginning of the bar, so the peaks keep

their relative position as the track plays.

This display does not show the relative

timing of the beats, only the track tempos.

The peaks still line up when the tracks are

at the same tempo, but are out of sync.

Track Overview Display

This view provides a complete

overview of the track waveform,

including a marker to show the

current position within the track.

This view is useful for nding

transitions within the track. The

waveform is colored according

to the sound: red representing

low frequency bass sounds,

green representing mid frequency

sounds and blue representing high

frequency treble sounds.

You can jump to different

positions within the track by clicking on

the Track Overview display (disabled

in ABS mode). Grey lines behind the

overview show the length of the track: a

thin grey line every minute, and a thick

grey line every 5 minutes. The overview

will be lled when you load the track onto

a Virtual Deck. On slower computers, you

should disable Autoﬁll overviews in the

Setup screen – with this setting disabled,

the overview will be lled as you play the

track. See “Preparing Your Files” on

page 14 and “Autoﬁll Overviews” on

page 36.

Main Waveform Display

This view provides a close-

up of the track, including

color coding to show the

frequency of the sound;

red representing low

frequency bass sounds,

green representing mid-

frequency sounds and

blue representing high-

frequency treble sounds.

You can also switch to a

three-band spectrum view

by holding the ctrl key and

clicking on the waveform.

Click on the waveform to

‘scrub’ or make ne adjustments to your

position within the track. This applies

to INT mode only, and may be useful if

you wish to set cue points in your tracks

without your turntables or CD players

connected. The Main Waveform is

zoomed around the current position in the

track. See “Cue Points” on page 21

and “Scratch Live Modes” on page

19.

TIP: Use the + and – keys to zoom

in and out. TIP: The waveform can be

either vertical or horizontal. See “Display

Modes” on page 18.

Kick Drum

In this example, the red part

of the wave represents a kick

drum, while the purple part

represents a snare drum.

Snare Drum

Beat Matching Display

This view shows the position of

beats within the track. When beat

matching, this helps align the

downbeats of the two tracks. The

markers are matched when the

two tracks are beat matched.

Example: The following is a

demonstration of using the visual

aids to help beat match. In this

example, the track that is playing

is on the Left Deck, and the track

to be mixed in is on the Right

Deck.

Virtual Deck

Virtual Deck shows everything about the

speed and position of a track. As the vinyl

rotates, so does the line on the label. The

circular progress bar around the edge

is a visual representation of the position

within the song, and can be set to ash

to warn you that the track is nearing its

end. The time and remaining time are

displayed in minutes and seconds. The

pitched BPM (BPM with pitch adjustment

multiplier added) is shown on the left of

the Virtual Deck, and the turntable speed

as a percentage pitch shift is shown on

the right of the Virtual Deck. If the track

has no BPM information, pitched BPM will

not be shown.

If you are

playing regular

vinyl, notice that

the Virtual Deck

behaves strangely

as Scratch

Live attempts

to decode the

incoming signal. This will not cause any

problems, but you may nd it distracting.

You can unload the currently loaded track

using the eject button next to each Virtual

Deck.

TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut shift-

alt-arrow to unload a track from the

Virtual Deck.

Main Screen

Overview

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

1. Start the track playing on the Right

Deck. After a few seconds, blue peaks

appear in the Tempo Matching display.

2. Adjust the pitch of the right turntable

until the blue peaks sit under the orange

peaks in the Tempo Matching display.

Once they are aligned, the two tracks

have the same tempo.

3. Next align the markers in the Beat

Matching display. Watch the color of the

items passing by in the Main Waveform

display. Remember that a kick or

bass drum will be red in color, and a

snare drum will be green or blue. This

technique will by no means guarantee

perfect mixes, but may help to speed up

the process of beat matching.

Master Gain

The master output of Scratch

Live can be controlled using the

master gain control at the top of

the screen. This adjusts the output volume

of all tracks played.Ctrl-click the knob to

reset it to 12 o’clock.

NOTE: For best results, set the master

gain to 12 o’clock, and adjust the

volume of individual tracks using the

track gain adjustment.

33 / 45 Speeds

Set this to match the speed

of your turntable for normal

playback.

Tracking Indicator

The tracking

indicators on the main screen show the

quality of the signal coming from the

control record or CD. The length of the bar

indicates the speed of the record or CD.

The color indicates the amount of position

information Scratch Live is receiving.

When you are playing the record at normal

speed, the tracking indicator should be

grey. If it is mostly red there is a problem

reading the control signal. Make sure

your needles are clean, and check the

calibration in the Setup screen.

NOTE: It is normal for the tracking

indicator to be red when cueing or

scratching.

Tap Tempo

For tracks with no BPM

information, there is a tap

tempo button displayed where

the BPM usually is, in the song

info area. Pressing alt-space bar activates

the tempo tapper (press alt-space bar a

second time to activate the tempo tapper

on the right Virtual Deck). Tap the space

bar along with the beat. After you’ve

tapped the rst beat, you can switch to

double time tapping, half time, start of

each bar etc. The range is set by the rst

two taps, after that you can switch to any

steady rhythm you feel comfortable with –

quarter notes, half note, whole notes. Esc

resets the BPM, Enter saves the BPM to

the track. You can use the mouse if you

prefer. Your CD player or turntable’s pitch

slider doesn’t need to be at zero, we do

the math for you. You can also use the

tempo tapper when no song is loaded,

for nding the BPM of regular records, for

example.

Key Lock

When Key Lock is on, the key or

pitch of the song stays locked at

what it would be if the track was playing

at normal speed, regardless of the platter

speed of the turntable or CD player. Key

Lock has scratch detection, so that it

automatically turns off when scratching for

a natural scratching sound. Turn Key Lock

on or off by pressing the button to the top

right of the Virtual Deck.

TIP: F5 and F10 will turn Key Lock on

and off for the left and right Decks

respectively.

Eject

This ejects the track playing or

loaded track from the Virtual Deck.

Repeat

Use the repeat function to repeat

the song across the entire length of

the control record.

TIP: Short “loop” samples can be

turned into a continuous track using

the repeat function. The loops must be

less than 10 seconds long, and cut at

the start and end of a bar.

Censor

Use the censor button to ‘mask’

parts of a song, or use as a special

effect. When you press the censor button,

the track starts playing backwards from

that point. When you release the censor

button, the track plays forward from the

point you would have been, had you not

pressed the censor button. Censor is

available only in REL and INT modes.

Autoplay

Click the Auto button to enable

autoplay. With this setting turned

on, when one track nishes playing, the

next track starts automatically. Load from

a crate to play through the songs in that

crate, or from your library to play through

your library. Autoplay works in both REL

and INT modes. Play from start must be

checked in the Playback tab of the Setup

screen for autoplay to work correctly.

Reverse Input Control

Swaps the Program 1 input with

the Program 2 input of the TTM

57SL.

This transfers control over to the

alternate Virtual Deck. For example, the

physical record on the right hand side now

controls the left hand side virtual deck.

This essentially lets you continue mixing,

but just using one turntable. See “Mixing

With One Turntable or CD Player” on

page 33.

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

Track Gain

Use the track gain adjustment to

balance the volume of the tracks in

your library. Any adjustment made

to the gain of a track is saved with

the le, and will be reapplied to the

entire track when it is loaded again.

The level meter shows the level

sent to the TTM 57SL after both

individual track gain and master

gain adjustment. Ctrl-click the knob

to reset it to 12 o’clock. For automatic

gain setting of your tracks, see “Use Auto

Gain” on page 35.

USB Dropout Indicator

The USB dropout

indicator on the main

screen is a useful

trouble shooting

tool if you have problems with audio

dropouts. Such dropouts are caused by

an interruption in passing the audio to the

Scratch Live hardware interface. If such an

interruption (or dropout) occurs, a red light

will appear briey, just to the left of the

Scratch Live logo at the top of the screen.

The light will be red for one second, and

then orange for four seconds.

If you do experience USB drop outs:

• Increase the USB audio buffer size. See

“USB Buffer Size (Latency)” on page

33.

• Try closing other applications that are

running at the same time as Scratch

Live.

• Try turning off background tasks, for

example, wireless networking.

• If your CPU load is very high, try

decreasing the maximum screen

updates. See “Maximum Screen

Updates” on page 37.

Display

Modes

Library

Views

Scratch Live gives you the option of

four different display modes to suit your

style of performance. The Display Mode

buttons are located in the top left of the

Main Screen. The available display modes

are:

Library Mode: Maximizes your

library space by minimizing the

Virtual Deck information displayed. In

Library Mode only the track information,

Virtual Deck, mode, track overview display

and meter are displayed.

TIP: Use the space bar to toggle

between Library Mode and your current

display mode.

Classic Vertical Mode: The two

Decks are displayed on the left

and right sides of the screen with vertical

waveforms in the middle.

Classic Horizontal Mode: The

two Decks are displayed on the

left and right sides of the screen with

horizontal waveforms in the middle.

Stack Mode: The Decks are

stacked on top of each other in

a horizontal fashion. Stack Mode aligns

the waveforms on top of each other, while

maximizing waveform space. The controls

for all Decks can be shown or hidden by

pressing the Show Deck Controls Button

on any Deck.

You can choose between four different

library views which allow for visual

browsing using text and album art. Select

your Library View by using the buttons in

the bottom left area of the main screen.

The available Library Views are:

Simple List: Displays the track

information in a text list.

Album Art List: Adds an album art

column to the Simple List mode.

Album Art Grid 1: Displays the

album art as a grid with the track

information text to the right.

Album Art Grid 2: Displays the

album art as a grid with the track

information text below.

NOTE: Your ﬁles must have album

art added for it to be displayed. See

“Adding Album Art” on page 30.

TIP: For all views you can adjust the

font size by using the Font Size slider in

the Library tab on the Setup screen. For

all Album Art views you can adjust the

album art size using the Album Art Size

slider in the same area.

Scratch Live

Modes

Scratch Live has three different modes of

operation. You can switch between these

modes by clicking the mode buttons near

the Virtual Deck.

Relative Mode

REL mode observes the relative forward

and backward movement of the record,

but does not take into account the

position within the record. REL mode

disables needle dropping, but allows skip-

free scratching.

See “Drop to Absolute Position” on

page 35.

REL mode adds additional speed

controls:

Previous track – Go to the previous

track in the list.

Rewind - The rewind function

speeds up the longer you press the

button.

Fast forward – The fast forward

function speeds up the longer you

hold the button.

Next track – Jump to the next track

in the list.

TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut F2 (Left

Deck) or F7 (Right Deck) to switch to

REL mode.

Absolute Mode

ABS mode is the default mode, and

most closely resembles the properties of

normal vinyl. The beginning of the track

is mapped to the start of the record, and

by picking up the tone arm and moving

the needle to another part of the record

(needle dropping) you can move to a

different position within the track.

ABS mode faithfully reproduces the

movement of vinyl control records,

including stops, starts, scratching, needle

dropping, rubbing and other turntablist

techniques.

When you reach the end of the record

using either REL or ABS modes, Scratch

Live automatically switches to INT mode.

This is known as Emergency Internal

mode, and prevents long tracks from

stopping when you run out of record.

You can switch from Emergency Internal

mode to ABS mode by lifting the needle

and placing it in the lead-in of the control

record. Emergency Internal mode will

activate after 1 second. Use the keyboard

shortcut F1 (left deck) or F6 (right deck) to

switch to ABS mode.

NOTE: Be careful when scratching

near the end of the record not to

accidentally go past this point and

into internal mode, or the track will no

longer respond to record movement!

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

Internal Mode

INT mode allows playing tracks without

external vinyl (or CD) control. INT mode

has a start / stop function and a virtual

pitch slider. Holding down the shift key

moves the pitch slider slowly. Holding the

ctrl key and clicking on the pitch slider

resets the pitch to zero.

Scratch Live automatically switches

to INT mode when the end of the control

record is reached; you can switch back

to REL mode by placing the needle in the

rst ve minutes of the control record.

If you switch from ABS or REL into INT

mode, Scratch Live automatically adjusts

pitch to maintain playback speed as

set by the turntable. Use the keyboard

shortcut F3 (left deck) or F8 (right deck) to

switch to INT mode.

INT mode adds these additional controls:

Play / pause reverse - Press to

play, press again to stop playback.

You can adjust the braking knob in the

setup screen to range from an immediate

stop to a slow turntable-style ‘power

down’. See “Braking (Internal Mode)” on

page 35.

Play / pause forward - Press to

play, press again to stop playback.

Uses the same braking as described

above.

Bend down - Create a temporary

decrease in the playback speed.

Use bend down if the two tracks are in

time, but this track is slightly ahead of the

other track.

Bend up – Create a temporary

increase in the playback speed. Use

bend up if the two tracks are in time, but

this track is slightly behind the other track.

Pitch Slider - Use the pitch

slider to make pitch adjustments

while using INT mode. Drag the

pitch slider with the mouse to

make large pitch movements,

or hold the shift key and drag

the pitch slider to make ne

adjustments.

Clicking the RANGE button

above the slider changes the

slider range to ±8%, ±10%, ±16%, ±50%

or ±100%.

Temporary Cue

There is a temporary cue point that can be

used like the Cue button on many DJ CD

players. Press ctrl-I to set this temporary

cue point on the Left Deck, and ctrl-K to

set it on the Right Deck. This temp cue

point is shown in the main waveform as a

white marker. This cue point is not saved

with the track, and by default is set to the

beginning of the track. Press I to jump to

this temporary cue point on the left deck,

and K for the right deck. If you hold down

the I or K key while the track is stopped, it

will play from the temp cue point. As soon

as you release the key, it will jump back

to the temp cue point. Note that you can

use this shortcut to jump to the beginning

of the track if the temporary cue point has

not been set. See “Cue Points” on page

21.

More Controls

You can also control playback using the

computer keyboard shortcuts — turn

Caps Lock on to enable. See “Playback

Keys Use Shift” on page 34.

to set cue points in your tracks, and

don’t have your turntables or CD players

connected.

NOTE: If you play a track in INT mode,

and then switch to ABS or REL mode,

the pitch adjustment will be dictated by

the turntable, so there will be a jump in

pitch unless they are already perfectly

matched.

TIP: If you are in ABS or REL mode and

you get a build up of dust on the needle

that is breaking up the audio, hold

down ctrl and press the INT button.

This will take you to Internal mode and

reset the pitch to zero.

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

Use cue points in Scratch Live to mark

and trigger different parts of your tracks.

The cue point markers are saved with the

le in the track’s ID3 tag. This means they

will be present each time you load the

track.

Setting Cue Points

You can set up to ve cue points for each

track. Click on the + button to place a

cue point, or use the keyboard shortcuts

below. A cue point will be set at the

current playhead position of the track and

can occupy any of the 5 slots.

Use the keyboard shortcuts: ctrl-

comma (for left) and ctrl-period (for right)

to place cue points in chronological order.

Alternatively, use ctrl-1 through 0 to set a

specic cue point, i.e., to set a cue point on

the Left Deck in slot two, press ctrl-2.

Notice that the stripe on the Virtual

Deck jumps to the 12 o’clock position and

changes color when you set a cue point

– you are at the cue point when the stripe

is one solid color and at the 12 o’clock

position. As the track plays on beyond

the position of the cue point, the colored

bar shortens by a fth for each rotation.

Likewise, as you approach the cue point,

the color will grow by a fth each rotation.

For example, the picture below shows

the track just before the end of the 5th

rotation before the cue point.

Cue Points Looping

You can save up to

9 loops per track;

these loops are saved

in the le, and will be present when you

reload the track. To make a loop, set the

in-point by clicking the IN button, and the

out-point by clicking the OUT button. To

turn the loop on or off, click the LOOP

button. If you want the playhead to jump

to the start of the loop when you enable

the loop, hold the control key and press

the LOOP button.

To adjust the in-point of the loop, click

the IN button. You can use the arrow keys:

left arrow to move the in-point towards

the start of the track, right arrow to move

the in-point towards the end of the track.

Hold down the shift key while pressing the

arrow key to make coarse adjustments.

Click the IN button again to save the in-

point. The same applies to adjusting the

out-point.

You can also use the control vinyl (or

CD) to adjust the in- and out-point. Click

the IN button, then move the control vinyl.

Moving the vinyl will adjust the in-point.

Once you are happy with the new in-point,

click the IN button to save, and release

the control vinyl.

The control vinyl will go back to

controlling playback once the record

is back up to normal speed. Using the

control vinyl to adjust loop end points is

optional — to turn this feature off, disable

the Adjust loops with vinyl option in the

Playback tab of the Setup screen. There

are 9 available loop slots per track. If a

loop is set in a given slot, the background

(behind the loop number) will be green.

TIP: Zoom in on the waveform using the

– and + keys and ‘scrub’ to the desired

position for greater accuracy when

setting cue points.

Enable Hot Cues

To turn on hot cues, check Enable hot

cues in the Playback tab on the Setup

screen. When hot cues are enabled, you

can set cue points simply by pressing the

number keys 1 through 0 (no ctrl modier

required). Note that you can only add cues

this way if the cue point slots are empty.

See “Enable Hot Cues” on page 21.

Triggering Cue Points

Click the arrow to the left of each cue

point to jump to it (REL and INT mode

only). You can also jump to cue points

using keyboard shortcuts – 1 through 5

for the cue points on the Left Deck, and 6

through 0 for the Right Deck cue points.

Editing Cue Points

To remove a cue point, use the x button

on the right side of the cue point panel.

You can also over-write cue points by

using the shortcut keys ctrl-1 through 0.

Customizing Cue Points

To change the color of a cue point, click

on the colored square and choose a new

color from the drop down menu.

To name your cue point, double click

on the “time” eld. You can now edit and

name this cue point to whatever you like.

You can also drag and drop cue points

to change their order in the list. If you wish

to have the cue points sorted by time,

check Sort cues chronologically in the

Playback tab on the Setup screen. If you

load the same track onto both Decks, you

will be able to add or modify cue points

from either Deck.

When you jump to a cue point in INT

mode while paused, the track will play

from the cue point for as long as the key

or mouse button is pressed, after which

the playhead returns to the cue point. If

this is done using the keyboard while the

track is playing in either INT or REL mode,

the cue point will be repeatedly triggered,

producing a stuttering effect.

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

Press the x button to clear the loop. If

you click on the locked loop symbol, a

red border will appear. This indicates the

loop is locked, and you will not be able

to adjust the end points or delete the

loop until you unlock it, by clicking on the

number again.

NOTE: Looping applies to REL and INT

modes.

Auto Looping

Auto looping

allows you to

create loops

instantly. If

the track has

a BPM value simply click the number of

beats you wish to loop and Scratch Live

will create the loop for you. The loop is

snapped to the beats in the song detected

by Scratch Live so even if you press the

button slightly out of time Scratch Live will

still create a perfect loop for you.

Five auto-loop buttons are available on

screen at any one time. They range from

1/32 to 32 beats. The user can select the

auto loop range with the  and  buttons.

Pressing an auto-loop button will create

a loop start point from the nearest beat

to the playhead (within reason), and set

a loop endpoint 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.

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.

NOTE: Auto-looping requires the track

BPM to be set. See “Set Auto-BPM” on

page 14.

The A - Slot

A special loop slot ‘A’ exists for auto-

looping. The act of using the auto-loop

buttons sets a loop in the ‘A’ slot,

following the rules above. Turning a

loop off using the auto-loop buttons

returns you to the loop slot that you were

previously in at the time you started auto-

looping. Turning the loop off using the

‘loop’ button leaves you in the ‘A’ slot. The

‘A’ slot is not saved to disk automatically,

pressing ‘save’ saves the loop to the rst

empty slot in 1-9.

Auto-looping shortcut keys are alt-1 to

5 for the left deck, and alt-6 to 0 for the

right deck. They correspond to the looping

buttons as laid out on screen. ie. if the

onscreen buttons display 1 2 4 8 16 bar

loops, alt-1 triggers 1 bar loop, and alt-5

triggers a 16 bar loop.

Loop Roll

Loop roll performs a standard auto-

loop, but when the loop is turned off,

the playback position is returned to the

position where it would be if it had not

entered the loop (much like censor).

The other difference between loop

roll and standard autoloop is the ‘roll’

button is momentary. The loop is engaged

when the button is pressed down, and

disengaged when the button is released.

Use short loop lengths to create “stutter”

type effects.

To activate loop roll, hold control + alt

while clicking on the desired autoloop

increment, or use the keyboard

shortcuts: control + alt + 1 through 5 for

the Left Deck and control + alt + 6 through

0 for the Right Deck. (ie. the same as the

autoloop controls with the additional ‘alt’

key as a modier).

The range of values available for loop

roll are 1/32 through to 32 beats. The

shortcut keys will activate whichever loop

lengths are visible on screen, i.e., if you

have lengths of a 1/4 beat through to 4

beats visible for the Left Deck, control +

alt + 1 will activate a 1/4 beat loop roll,

control + alt + 2 will activate a 1/8 beat

loop roll and so on.

Use the  and  buttons to toggle

through the range of possible lengths

visible on screen.

Loop Roll with MIDI

You can assign loop roll to MIDI in several

ways:

After pressing the MIDI assign button in

Scratch Live, press the control + alt keys,

click on an auto-loop value, then click on

the button/slider you want it mapped to

on your MIDI controller. Alternatively, you

can assign the singular loop roll button to

MIDI, then assign a MIDI knob or slider on

your controller to the autoloop select knob

(visible in the MIDI assign panel area when

in MIDI assign mode) to change the values

on the y.

TIP: When you have the “Autoloop

Select” knob assigned to MIDI, you

have all of the loop roll lengths at your

disposal. This allows you to roll up and

down the loop length scale, to create

interesting stutter and build-up effects.

NOTE: Like autoloop, loop roll requires

a BPM value written to the ID3 tag in

order to work. Build overviews with the

“Set Auto BPM” box checked and the

proper range for your music selected to

ensure an accurate BPM value.

SP-6 Sample

Player

The SP-6 Sample Player allows you to

play up to six sources of audio, in addition

to the tracks playing on the Virtual Decks.

Any audio le in your Scratch Live library

can be loaded to any one of the six slots,

allowing playback of short samples,

sound effects, or full length tracks.

The SP-6 is enabled when the TTM

57SL is plugged in, but not operational in

the ofine player mode.

Click on the SP-6

button to access the

SP-6 window. In the top

right corner of the SP-6

there is a button which

opens the Display Menu.

Clicking on this drops

down a menu with the

• Mode - Chooses the play mode -

Trigger / On-Off / Hold / Repeat modes.

• Output Select - Assigns individual slot

outputs to the left, mix, right or to the

master output selector.

• Pitch - Pitch Slider / Bend / Nudge /

Keylock controls.

• Play from - Choose which cue point /

loop to use for the loaded track.

• Overview - Displays the overview of

each track.

• Level - Individual sample slot level and

Gain controls.

• Level meter - Displays the volume level

for the sample slot.

This enables you to set up the sample

player with the appropriate controls that

suit your workow.

Loading the SP-6

To load a track to the SP-6, drag and drop

the desired le from your library into one

of the sample slots. To eject a track, click

on the eject button to the right of the title

display.

TIP: You can load tracks to the SP-6

with the keyboard shortcuts: ctrl + alt +

z to n.

TIP: Select and drag six tracks from

your library onto the ﬁrst sample player

slot to simultaneously load six tracks

across all six slots.

TIP: If you don’t wish to use the SP-6,

you can disable it in the Plugins tab on

the Setup screen.

Playing Samples

Pressing the play button on each

slot will play the loaded audio.

TIP: Use the shortcut keys

z (slot 1) x (slot 2) c (slot 3)

v (slot 4) b (slot 5) n (slot 6)

to trigger each sample respectively.

SP-6 Instant Doubles

You can instant double from the Virtual

Decks down to the SP-6, from the SP-6

up to the Virtual Decks and also between

the sample slots themselves. This means

the position, track gain and speed will

match when you drag a track to from one

location into another. This allows you to

beat match tracks with your turntables/

CD players on the Virtual Decks, and

then “instant double” the track down to

a slot, freeing up the Virtual Decks to

continue your mix with other tracks. Click

and drag an already playing track from

a Virtual Deck or sample slot and drop it

on another sample slot to begin instant

doubling.

SP-6 Play Modes

Each sample slot has three different play

modes:

Trigger mode - When play is

pressed, the audio plays through

until the end of the track. Pressing

repetitively will trigger the audio from the

beginning of the track. To stop the audio,

hold the alt key while either clicking the

play button, or pressing the corresponding

shortcut key (e.g., alt - z for slot one).

Hold Mode - The sample will only

play while you press and hold the

play button or the corresponding shortcut

key. Upon release of the play button, the

audio stops immediately. This mode most

closely resembles the function of the

“note off” mode found on many popular

samplers.

On / Off Mode - When play is

pressed, the audio plays through

until the end of the track. Pressing play

again stops the audio.

Repeat Mode - Each slot has a

repeat button. When activated,

this will repeat the loaded audio le from

beginning to end, or will turn on the loop

selected in the “play from” eld.

TIP: Short “loop” samples can be

turned into a continuous track using

the repeat function. Ensure there is a

clean cut at the start and end of a bar.

MIDI Control

Overview

The MIDI Control feature in Scratch Live

provides the ability to map MIDI controls

to Scratch Live controls, and thus control

the functions of Scratch Live using MIDI

controllers such as keyboards, triggers,

sliders, and knobs. Integrating MIDI

controllers into your Scratch Live setup

can improve live performance usability,

such as hitting pads on a MIDI controller

to trigger loops and cue points.

MIDI Controller Setup

The process of setting up a MIDI

controller for use with Scratch Live

will vary depending on the hardware in

question. Many devices can connect to

a computer using MIDI over USB, and

will either be supported directly by your

operating system, or require installation of

drivers and conguration utility software.

Follow the manufacturers instructions for

installation.

Other controllers may solely use a MIDI

out connector to send control messages,

and will require a separate MIDI interface

unit to communicate to software.

Generally the MIDI interface will come with

drivers and conguration tools which pass

your controller’s output onto an available

MIDI channel, which can be used by

Scratch Live.

Once your controller is installed and

functioning correctly, use the directions for

assigning controls below.

Assigning Controls

To enable MIDI assign mode,

click the MIDI button. Hovering

the mouse pointer over a control will bring

up the MIDI assignment box, showing the

current assignment status.

To assign a MIDI control, click on the

control in Scratch Live, then move the

MIDI control. The MIDI assignment box

should update to show it has mapped the

controls to one- another.

To un-assign a MIDI control, click on the

control in Scratch Live, and press return

on your computer keyboard.

NOTE: Once in MIDI assign mode,

Scratch Live controls will no longer

respond directly to the mouse. If you

need to change a control using the

mouse, disable MIDI assign mode.

While in MIDI assign mode, controls which

have MIDI inputs assigned show a green

box indicator around them.

MIDI Platters

The Scratch Live Virtual Decks are not

user assignable to MIDI control. MIDI

devices with platters on them all send

different data so user mapping is not

possible. To control the platter use a

natively supported controller.

Assign MIDI to Other Controls

Controls which

are not normally

visible are available for assignment when

in MIDI assign mode by clicking on the

Show MIDI Panel button. This will open

up a panel allowing MIDI assignment for

controls including library navigation as

well as additional Deck functions such as

ne pitch control and extended cue and

looping features.

7. Press the Macro Max button to set

the maximum.

8. Link the parameter to the Ultra or

Super Knob by pressing the Link

button.

Now when you adjust the Ultra or Super

Knob you will see the parameter knob

move within the range that you just

specied. Any parameters not customized

but linked to the Super or Ultra Knob will

behave as normal.

You can save any macro mappings

you have made to an effect by

clicking the Save button by the Super

Knob, and save effects combinations

made in Ultra Knob Mode by clicking the

Save button by the Ultra Knob.

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

Ctrl-Click Functionality

Some Scratch Live controls on the GUI

have additional functionality assigned

to ctrl-click. You can assign ctrl-click

functionality to a MIDI control, alongside

the normal functionality. For example,

ctrl-click on the internal mode pitch slider

returns pitch to zero. To assign this to

MIDI control, enter MIDI assign mode,

ctrl-click on the slider, and then assign

one of the pads to it. When you press the

pad, pitch goes to 0.

Presets

MIDI presets are accessible in the MIDI

panel of the setup screen. By default,

the current MIDI assignments in Scratch

Live are automatically remembered and

loaded next time you start the program.

The Preset panel allows you to save and

recall several different MIDI setups. This

is useful if you are using several MIDI

devices or want to quickly switch MIDI

setups without having to reassign all your

controls.

Native Controller support

This Scratch Live version currently has

native support for the following 3rd party

controllers:

• Denon DJ DN-HC1000S

• Denon DJ DN-HC4500

• Novation Dicer

• Vestax VFX-1

• Pioneer CDJ-350

• Pioneer CDJ-850

• Pioneer CDJ-2000

• Pioneer CDJ-900

• Pioneer CDJ-400

• Pioneer MEP-7000

These controllers are plug and play, and

can automatically control Scratch Live

with no MIDI assigment necessary. Visit

serato.com for detailed documentation on

how to use these controllers.

MIDI Devices

Any connected MIDI device will be listed

within the MIDI Device List in the MIDI

panel of the Setup screen. You are able

to enable or disable any of these devices

using the “Enable MIDI Device” checkbox.

Technical Information

Scratch Live MIDI Control only supports:

• Note On/Off

• Standard 7-bit CC (Control Change)

• 14-bit CC

• RPN/NRPN (14-bit).

Scratch Live can support an unlimited

number of tracks – the only limitation

is the size of the hard drive of your

computer. A number of features are

included to help you to keep your music

organized and nd songs quickly and

easily.

Grouping Tracks into Crates

Scratch Live supports several ways of

organizing and sorting your le library.

iTunes™ users will notice that Scratch

Live can incorporate your existing iTunes

library and playlists.

Scratch Live uses digital “crates” for

quick access to your favorite collections.

There is no limit to the number of crates

you can create, and any given track can

be placed in multiple crates. For example,

you could organize your les into the

following crates, where any one track

would be led in more than one crate:

• Hip Hop

• UK Hip Hop

• French Hip Hop

• Inst Hip Hop

• Old Hip Hop

• Hip Hop LPs

To make a new

crate, click the + button under the library

window. To rename a crate, double click

the crate name.

You can change the order of tracks

within a crate by sorting by the “#” column

and dragging them up or down.

Organizing

Your Music

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

Check the Match all of the following

Rules option so that tracks must match

all the set rules to be added to the crate.

If this option is not checked, any track

which matches any of the rules will be

added to the crate.

Check the Live update option to have

the smart crate update when any tags are

edited in your music library. With this

option unchecked, the crate contents will

be updated only when you click the

refresh crate icon, which is not visible

when Live

update is

checked.

Click Save to save your crate or Cancel

to exit without saving.

Click the Edit button (next to the Add

Smart Crate button) to edit the rules of an

existing Smart Crate.

Sorting Your Files

The track information display area can be

customized to display the columns listed

below:

• Added

• Album

• Artist

• Bitrate

• BPM

• Comment

• Composer

• Filename

• Genre

• Grouping

• Key

• Label

• Length

• Location

• Remixer

• Sampling

• Size

• Track

• Video Track

• Year

The column button  is located at the

top of the library pane in the right hand

corner. Click on the column button to

select which columns you want to display.

To sort your library by a column, click

the column header so it highlights. For

example, clicking on the album column

header will sort your library alphabetically

by album title. To move a column, drag

the header to the left or right. To resize

a column, click on the column boundary

and drag it to the left or right.

Using the Song Browser

The song browser allows you to lter

your song list by Genre, BPM, Artist and

Album. To turn the song browser on or off,

click the browse button.

Searching

Scratch Live includes

a search function to

help you nd les

quickly and easily.

Enter text into the

search box and

Scratch Live will

automatically nd as

you type. To select

which elds the

search function will

look through, click on

the left hand side of the search box. The

drop down menu shows which elds are

currently being used. Press esc or the x

button on the right of the search box to

clear the search.

TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut

‘ctrl-f’ to jump to the search box. This

keyboard shortcut will also take you out

of any crate or playlist that you might

be in and into your main library, so you

can ﬁnd any track in your collection. If

you then click on a crate or playlist, the

search query will be cleared.

TIP: Check the protect library option in

the setup screen to prevent changes to

your crates. If you do delete a crate by

accident, you can get it back from the

recycle bin / trash. Crate ﬁles have the

extension .crate.

Subcrates

You can drag and drop crates into other

crates to make subcrates. If you drag a

crate to the very left of the crate panel,

it will stay in the top level of the crate

structure. If you drag the crate a little to

the right, onto the name of another crate,

it will make the crate you are dragging a

sub crate of the rst crate.

Smart Crates

Smart crates update their contents by

using keywords which are matched

with selected tags of your music library

tracks. Smart crates can be updated

automatically or at your discretion.

To create a smart crate, click the Add

Smart Crate button in the bottom left

corner of the main screen

(blue

crate icon). A popup window will open

which allows you to add the rules to ll

your smart crate. Press Add Rule to add a

rule for the smart crate to match with. For

each rule you can choose a eld to match

on from the drop down menu:

• Added (date)

• Album

• Artist

• BPM

• Comment

• Composer

• Filename

• Genre

• Grouping

• Key

• Label

• Remixer

• Song

• Whitelabel

• Year

You can then choose the following

inclusion /exclusion criteria:

• Contains

• Is

• Does not contain

• Is not

Prepare Window

The prepare window is a holding area for

tracks, much like preparing a set by lifting

records part way out of your record bag.

You can drag tracks (or whole crates)

from the main track list into the prepare

window, or simply drag them onto the

prepare button. These tracks will be

removed from the prepare window once

they have been played. All tracks in the

prepare window will be discarded when

you exit Scratch Live.

TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut ctrl-p to

add tracks to the prepare window.

TIP: Select the contents of the prepare

window and drag them onto the new

crate button (+) to save your selection

as a crate.

History

The history button opens a

complete log of all the tracks

you have played and allows exporting

Scratch Live session information as a data

le.

Each session is catalogued by date

and time. Using the drop down arrow,

you can navigate to and view detailed

information of any previous sessions.

There are columns for the period (i.e.,

date of session), name of track and artist

name. In addition, these other categories

listed below will give you more detailed

information about your sessions:

Start Time: When viewing a song row, the

start time of the song is displayed. When

viewing a session row, the start time of the

session is displayed with the date (in real

time value).

End Time: When viewing a song row, the

end time of the song is displayed. When

viewing a session row, the end time of the

session is displayed with the date (in real

time value).

Playtime: When viewing a song row, the

total played time of the song is displayed

(i.e., 00:03:00). When viewing a session

row, the total elapsed time of the session

is displayed with date (i.e., 10/09/08

01:38:16).

Deck: The virtual deck the song was

played on will be displayed under the

deck column. In the song row, either left

or right is displayed. The ofine player will

be listed as ofine.

Notes: Use this eld to list particular

information about your songs and each

session (i.e., note how you transitioned

from one track to another).

Start Session / End Session: To start or

end a session, click the corresponding

button.

Insert Track: If you wish to add

information for tracks not played in

Scratch Live into your session (e.g., if

you played one of your favorite vinyl or

CD), select the song you want to insert

after and click the Insert Track button.

Double click the inserted track elds and

edit your information accordingly. (Note

that when exporting an m3u playlist [see

exporting below] “inserted tracks” will not

be present.)

Export: You can export each session as

a data le using the export button. Select

a session, then choose your preferred le

format, and click export. There are three

possible export formats:

• text: to create a simple text le with your

session information contained within.

• csv: to create a le for use in

spreadsheet software.

• m3u: to create a playlist le, which can

be imported into media players. Note

that an m3u does not contain audio

itself, it only points to the location of

your audio les. (Inserted tracks within

sessions will not be included in an m3u

playlist.)

• Serato Playlist: see “Serato Playlists”

on page 29.

Delete: To delete a history session,

highlight the session, then press ctrl + del.

TIP: To make a new Scratch Live

crate containing your session

information, select a session and drag

it to the + plus crate button. (This will

automatically name the crate with the

session date).

Listing Behavior - only the tracks you

actually play are listed in history. This is

done using an A-B algorithm, meaning

a track on deck A is only listed once the

track on deck B has been changed or

ejected.

You can choose to show tracks which

you have auditioned, but not actually

played, by checking the show “unplayed

tracks” box. The session will then also

list these tracks in grey, along with actual

played tracks.

Alternatively, you can mark or unmark

tracks as played manually. Select a track

(or a group of tracks) and click the mark

played / mark unplayed button. This may

be useful if you play a track off regular

vinyl or CD - breaking the A-B algorithm).

Songs that you have played are marked

as green in your library. Click on the

button marked ‘clear’ to reset the list of

recently played tracks and turn the color

of your library back to white.

Serato Playlists

The Serato Playlists plugin allows you

to upload your history sessions to your

serato.com prole for viewing, sharing and

editing. You can upload your playlist once

your session is complete, or by using

the Live Playlists feature to update your

playlists online in real time!

To enable this plugin, go to the Plugins

tab on the Setup screen and check the

Enable Serato Playlists Plugin option.

Open the History panel and you will

now have access to the Serato Playlists

options.

Editing ID3 tags

Much of the information associated

with each le can be edited from within

Scratch Live. Double click on the

attribute within the main library to edit

the attribute. Filename, length, size, bit

rate and sampling cannot be edited. This

information is saved in the le itself. Note

that the protect library option in setup

must be unchecked to allow edits. For

details on Auto-BPM see “Preparing

Your Files” on page 14.

TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut ctrl-e

to edit text. Hold down the ctrl key and

move with the arrow keys to change

to a different ﬁeld while staying in edit

mode. When you have more than one

ﬁle selected, editing tags changes all

the ﬁles in your selection.

TIP: The second column in the library

is the label color for that ﬁle. Click it to

bring up a color palette, and customize

the virtual deck for that ﬁle.

Library Zoom

You can change the size of your library

text by using the shortcuts ctrl + and ctrl

Display Album Art

MP3 les can

contain album art

information. Click

on the show album

art button at the

very bottom left of

the screen to open

a small window.

This window displays the album art of the

track currently selected in the library.

Album art can also be shown next to

the the track information display on each

virtual deck. Click on the display tab of

the setup menu to nd this option. See

“Show Album Art On Deck” on page

37.

Adding Album Art

You can add album art to a le by

dragging and dropping a jpeg or png le

onto the track in any of the album art

views, or onto the Album Art window. If

you do this while the track is loaded to a

Virtual Deck, the album artwork will not be

added until the track is ejected.

Status Icons

The leftmost column shows the status of

each track. The image to the left shows

ve tracks with differing statuses.

• Scratch Live has detected some

corruption in the MP3 le. If

possible, re-encode the MP3.

• The track has been imported

from the iTunes library.

• The track has been imported

from the iTunes library, and

Scratch Live has detected some

corruption in the MP3 le. Solution: If

possible, re-encode the MP3.

• The track cannot be found. Most

likely the le has been renamed

or moved.

• Tracks that are read-only have a

locked icon.

More Info on Corrupt Files

If you have a corrupt le in your library,

hover your mouse over the status

icon for information on what type of

corruption was found. See “Corrupt File

Descriptions and Diagnoses” on page

51.

Uploading Serato Playlists

Once you have nished your session, or to

upload a previous history session, select

the desired session in the History panel.

Click the Format dropdown box, select

Serato Playlists and click the Export

button. You will receive the following

warning:

Warning: This feature will submit play

data from your History to your online

Serato Playlists and may affect sound

card performance while sending.

Do you wish to continue?

If you choose “Yes” you will then be taken

to www.serato.com where you can review

your playlist before choosing to post it

online. Once posted, you have the option

to edit the playlist and track information.

NOTE: We recommend that you turn off

any wireless networking devices when

using Scratch Live. If you export your

playlist online whilst playing you may

experience USB dropouts. If so, you

may wish to avoid using this function.

Live Playlists

Serato Playlists has the Live Playlists

option to allow you to display what you

are playing online in realtime on your

serato.com prole.

To enable the Live Playlists feature go to

the Plugins tab on the Setup screen and

check the Enable Live Playlists option.

Once enabled, the Start Live Playlist

button is now displayed in the History

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

File

Management

Located in the les pane are two buttons,

rescan ID3 tags, and relocate lost les.

Use these tools for ongoing le and library

management.

Rescan ID3 Tags

Click this button to force Scratch Live to

re-read all le tags. Alternatively, you can

drag and drop les, folders, or drives onto

the rescan id3 tags button from the les

pane. This will only scan the les that you

drag and drop, resulting in much faster

processing.

TIP: Rescanning the tags is a handy

way to identify all the ﬁles that Scratch

Live can’t ﬁnd (for example if the ﬁles

have been altered or moved). These

tracks will show up red in the main

track list, with an exclamation mark in

the status column. You can sort by the

status column to group all these tracks

together.

Relocate Lost Files

This feature nds music and folders on

your computer that you have either moved

or altered.

1. Click the relocate lost les button to

search all your drives (internal and

external) for les currently marked as not

found in your library.

2. When this process is complete, your

Scratch Live library will be updated with

the new location of your les.

TIP: Drag and drop ﬁles, folders, or

drives onto the relocate lost ﬁles button

from the ﬁles pane. This is useful if you

know the location of your ﬁles, as it

only scans the drag and drop location,

with faster relocation.

Deleting Crates & Tracks

To delete tracks from your Scratch Live

library, select the track and use the

keyboard shortcut ctrl-delete. Make

sure you have the Protect library option

unchecked in the Library tab of the Setup

screen.

• Deleting a track when you are in the

“ All...” playlist removes it from your

library and any crates that the track may

be in.

• Deleting a track inside a crate removes it

from that crate but the le will remain in

your “ All...” playlist.

• Deleting a track from a subcrate will

remove it from the subcrate and the

main crate but not the “ All...” playlist.

• Crates that are deleted are sent to the

recycle bin/trash.

NOTE: To delete any ﬁles from your

library and your hard drive (sending

them to the recycle bin) use the

shortcut ctrl-shift-delete.

If you are using iTunes playlists, your les

cannot be deleted this way. You will need

to delete them from within iTunes.

Copy & Move Files & Folders

Scratch Live gives you the ability to

copy and move les, folders and crates

between drives or to a new location on the

same drive.

To copy or move your les and/or

folders, open the Files panel and select,

drag and drop them in the desired new

location. Scratch Live will then prompt

you with the following options:

Copy: Select this to make a copy of

the selected les and folders in the new

location. Your Scratch Live library will now

contain entries for both the originals and

copies.

Move: Select this to move the selected

les and/or folders to the new location.

Your Scratch Live library and crates

will now reference the les in their new

location.

Cancel: Cancel any changes.

Remove original references from

library: Check this option when using

the copy feature to remove the original

references to these les in your Scratch

Live library and replace them with the

copies in the new location. The original

les will still be kept in their current

location, but will no longer referenced in

your Scratch Live library.

Copy & Move Crates

You can also copy or move your Crates

and Subcrates to another drive in the

same way. Open the Files panel and

select, drag and drop your Crates or

Subcrates to the new drive. You will be

presented with the same options as

mentioned above. To move between

drives, see the Scratch Live Support

Articles at serato.com.

Scratch Live Backup

Scratch Live stores your library database

and crates information in the Scratch Live

folder on your hard disk. This folder is

created on a drive when les are added

to Scratch Live. A copy of each Scratch

Live folder called ScratchLIVEBackup is

created next to the folder it is backing up.

This folder is created when exiting Scratch

Live. You will be prompted to backup your

Scratch Live library on exit if there is no

backup for a drive or if the last backup is

more than 1 week old.

Backup will only keep ONE level backup

at a time; each time backup runs it

overwrites the previous backup.

Note: Make sure you back up your

music separately. This backup function

only backs up the Scratch Live folder,

not your music ﬁles.

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

Scratch Live allows you to record one of

six stereo signals from the TTM 57SL:

• Main Mix

• AUX BUS (sum of MIC, AUX, FlexFX

Return)

• PGM 1 (a) Pre-Fader

• PGM 1 (a) Post -Fader

• PGM 2 (b) Pre-Fader

• PGM 2 (b) Post -Fader

Stereo recording is possible even while

using two stereo vinyl control inputs.

1. Click on the  triangle for the drop

menu displaying the three record Input

Sources.

2. Select the desired source and press the

red record icon to start recording.

3. The record icon ashes while recording

and the display shows the elapsed

recording time.

4. Press the record icon again to stop the

recording.

5. To save the recording, type in a name

for the recording and click the save icon.

6. The recording is automatically placed

in a crate named “RECORDED”. If the

crate does not already exist, it will be

created automatically.

7. To start a new recording without saving,

simply click the record button again.

Recording

Recordings can be loaded onto the

Decks, renamed, and managed like other

les. Recordings are saved as 16-bit, 44.1

kHz stereo AIFF les.

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 knob.

The meter tells you 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, this means the signal is

clipping the input of the TTM 57SL. Turn

down the mixer’s GAIN control.

TIPS

• The keyboard shortcut ctrl-n turns

recording on and off.

• You can load a recording without saving

it using the short cut keys shift + left

arrow to Virtual Deck 1 or shift + right

arrow to Virtual Deck 2.

Recording directly with the TTM 57SL

soft controls is possible using the Record

Group and an optional footswitch.

NOTE: Recordings over 3 hours are

automatically split into individual ﬁles.

LiveFeed

LiveFeed allows you to stream any of the

standard record sources (mix, aux, a pre,

a post, b pre, b post) to a Virtual Deck.

You can then instantly play the recording

back just like a normal audio le - you can

scratch it, speed it up, slow it down, set

loops and set cue points.

There are two recording options,

Normal and Gated. The Normal option

means recording will begin as soon as

the normal Livefeed track is loaded to the

Virtual Deck. The Gated option means that

after a Gated Livefeed track is loaded,

recording only begins once the set gate

level is exceeded (thus avoiding periods

of silence). You can set the gate level

by clicking the dropdown menu in the

LiveFeed lename. A lower gain setting

makes the gate more sensitive.

The amount of time available to record

is determined by your audio cache setting.

The track overview display shows the

amount of usable audio you have to play

with from the recording. Click anywhere

in the track overview display to jump to

your desired position in the recording. See

“Audio Cache” on page 37.

Locate the LiveFeed les in your library.

Type “livefeed” into the search box to see:

LiveFeed - Rane TTM 57SL Record Source

(Gated).

Load the desired LiveFeed le to either

Deck. The waveforms will start to build

in the track overview and main waveform

display as the input is recorded, you

can now use the recording as normal.

Performing a needle drop on the record

brings the playhead back to the “now”

position in the audio stream.

Additional

Setup

This section covers general preferences

and adjustments you can make to improve

the performance of Scratch Live. Click on

SETUP to get to this area.

Hardware

USB Buffer Size (Latency)

Scratch Live processes audio in small

chunks. When smaller chunks are

used, the movement of the record is

translated into audio more often, which

results in a lower overall system latency.

However, this requires more processing

and therefore a higher CPU load, so

lower buffer size settings require a

more powerful computer to produce

uninterrupted audio. If you want tighter

control, you should try decreasing

this setting, on the other hand, if you

experience audio dropouts, you need

to increase this setting (or get a more

powerful computer).

Update Firmware

If a rmware update is available after

installing a new Scratch Live software

release, an Update Firmware button

appears. The rmware upgrade takes

approximately 10 seconds, during which

time the mixer will not be usable. If for

any reason the rmware upgrade does

not work, just turn the mixer off and back

on again. It’s not possible to damage

the mixer whilst performing a rmware

upgrade.

NOTE: Newer ﬁrmware may not work

with older versions of Scratch Live.

The mixer will still be usable with

older Scratch Live versions, but the

effects do not display parameter values

onscreen so you will not be able to see

how the effects are conﬁgured. You will

have the same control over the effects

that you have when using effects

without Scratch Live connected.

If you are using a mixer that is not yours

and shared by other people please DON’T

UPGRADE their rmware without their

permission. If you don’t click on Firmware

Mixing

With One

Turntable or

CD Player

This single turntable technique allows you

to mix as if you had two turntables, using

just one. If one of your turntables is not

performing properly, or if you only have

one available, you will be able to continue

to mix the way you are used to.

The following is a step-by-step

description of how to do perform a mix

using only your right turntable or CDJ with

the instant doubles feature.

Menu Settings

Go to the Playback tab in the Setup

screen. Make sure Instant doubles is

checked, and Lock playing deck is

unchecked.

1. Load a track onto the right Deck in

Scratch Live and play as usual.

2. Put the left Deck into INT mode.

3. Load the same song you have playing

on the right Deck onto the left Deck. The

track on the left will start playing from

the same point and at the same pitch as

the right Deck.

4. You can now quickly slide the cross

fader over to the left Deck.

5. Your right Deck is now free to load up a

new song ready to mix in.

6. Repeat!

Tip: Instant Doubles works with either

Deck.

See “Lock Playing Deck” on page 34.

See “Instant Doubles” on page 35.

tracks under 1 minute long.

Playback Keys Use Shift

This is checked by default. Unchecking

this option will enable all of these keys

without pressing shift or having caps lock

on. This applies to all cue points (1...0)

and cue controls (QWERTY etc). See

“Keyboard Shortcuts” on page 54.

Lock Playing Deck

Every DJ’s nightmare used to be lifting

the needle off the wrong turntable in the

middle of a set. This setting helps to avoid

the digital equivalent; loading a new track

to the wrong deck. When this option is

checked, you can only load a track if the

target deck is stopped.

Sort Cues Chronologically

The ve cue points can be placed in any

order, and can be dragged up and down if

you wish to reorder them. If you prefer to

lock them to chronological order, turn this

option on.

Enable Hot Cues

When hot cues are enabled, you can

set cue points simply by pressing the

number keys 1 through 0 (no ctrl modier

required). Note that you can only add cues

this way if the cue point slots are empty.

See “Cue Points” on page 21.

Update, the mixer will run ne on the older

rmware without the new effects. If you

have upgraded your ﬁrmware and you

need to downgrade please do this:

1. Run the older version of Scratch Live

with the mixer attached.

2. Power off the mixer.

3. Hold the two High kill buttons down

while powering on the mixer.

4. The kill lights will all be lit up red, and

the rmware will downgrade to the

version that shipped with that Scratch

Live version. When the kill lights go out,

the update is complete.

Save to Mixer

Click these buttons to transfer settings

to the mixer. The Save To Mixer buttons

in the Effects sections save to the mixer

processors independently so it can be

used without Scratch Live running and

attached. These settings are transferred to

the mixer in the main setup section.

• Transform direction.

• Latched or momentary kill switch

preference.

• Phono sensitivity.

• Meter setting (Stereo House / Dual

Mono Cue)

• Phones setting (Master / Cue)

• Effect 1

• Effect 2

Phono Sensitivity

Set the phono sensitivity at the level

of your cartridge (see your cartridge

documentation for the value). This will

make your turntable inputs the same level

as your line inputs.

Transform Direction

The Joysticks also double as transform

switches. To change the joystick from

software control to transform, press the

joystick down – as if trying to push it down

into the mixer, you’ll hear a click – and

hold it down until the green LED lights.

The 8 check boxes around the joystick

image show the directions you can move

the joystick. The audio will cut out when

the joystick is moved in a direction that is

checked.

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 depressed.

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.

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 allows you to quickly match the

playhead position of two tracks. With this

option set, when you load a track on one

Virtual Deck that is already loaded on the

other Virtual Deck (it must be the same

le), 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 (Internal 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 21.

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, as with

the Autoplay function. See “Playback

Control” on page 15.

Enable Vinyl Scroll

Uncheck this box to disable the Vinyl

Scroll feature. See “Vinyl Scroll” on page

15.

Reverse Vinyl Scroll

This setting allows you to reverse the

direction of Vinyl Scroll. See “Vinyl Scroll”

on page 15.

Vinyl Scroll Speed

Vinyl Scroll allows you to load a new

track without touching the computer,

simply 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

This detects a deliberate repositioning of

the needle, and moves the playhead to

the absolute position of the needle, as

in ABS mode. Accidental skipping of the

needle does not reposition the playhead.

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

Library

Read iTunes Library

Check this option to show your iTunes

library and playlists in Scratch Live. You

can collapse your iTunes playlists

by clicking on the blue folder icon.

Uncheck this to remove iTunes

playlists and itunes songs from your

Scratchlive library.

To add your iTunes music to your

Scratch Live library permanently, drag and

drop tracks from the iTunes playlists onto

the “ All...” icon (on the far left hand

side of the Scratch Live screen), or into

individual Scratch Live crates.

Any les moved to “ All...,” an existing

crate, or a new crate will now remain in

Scratch Live even when the Read iTunes

library option is unchecked. Once a le

has been permanently added to Scratch

Live, the iTunes logo will disappear.

We recommend unchecking this option

after you have added your music into the

Scratchlive library.

NOTES:

• If your iTunes library contains a large

number of tracks it may take some time

for Scratch Live to read it.

• Any changes made in Scratch Live to

the le information of tracks in your

iTunes library will not appear in iTunes

until after you play the track.

• Scratch Live cannot play les that

have been protected by Digital Rights

Management systems, such as those

previously sold through the Apple iTunes

Music Store. iTunes Plus les are DRM-

free.

• iTunes is available for Mac and PC. For

more information, visit apple.com.

Protect library

Uncheck this setting to remove les and

crates from your library. Enable to lock

your library and prevent accidental le or

crate deletion while using Scratch Live.

Enabling this setting will also lock all le

tags and crate names, so that no text can

be changed.

Customize Crate Views

Check this option to set custom column

views for each crate and playlist. When

the option is off (default), all crates will

share the same column

conguration as the “ All...” crate.

Center on Selected Song

With this option on, scrolling up and down

in your Library holds the selected track in

the middle of the Library panel.

Show All File Types

Enable this option to show all les when

importing tracks into Scratch Live. If

this option is not selected, only les that

Scratch Live can play will be displayed.

Include Subcrate Tracks

You can drag crates into other crates to

make subcrates. If you have this option

turned on, any crate will also display

the contents of all its subcrates. SEE

“Organizing Your Music” on page 27.

Autoﬁll Overviews

Enable this setting to automatically

generate the track overview as soon

as a track is loaded. If this setting

is not enabled, the track overview

will be generated as the track plays.

Automatically generating the track

overview uses more of the computer’s

CPU power, and should be disabled on

slower computers.

TIP: Analyze your ﬁles before you play

to pre-build all your overviews. See

“Preparing Your Files” on page 14.

Drop to Cue Points

This option triggers the corresponding

cue point when the needle is repositioned

into one of the rst 5 one-minute sections

on the control vinyl. For instance: needle

dropping into the second minute on the

left turntable, will send playback for Deck

1 to cuepoint 2, if that cuepoint is set.

Vinyl Start Offset

If you nd that you have cue burn at the

beginning of the record, you will notice

that the tracking will be poor at this point.

Use the two knobs to offset the start

point, so that the track will start playing

from a point further into the control record.

The rst knob sets the number of whole

minutes to offset by, the second knob sets

the number of whole rotations within that

minute.

Adjust this slider to set the maximum

album art size for any of the album art

display modes. The artwork will still get

larger if required to t the track and will

still scale with the library zoom keyboard

shortcut.

Maximum Screen Updates

This feature allows you to throttle back

the screen refresh rate. Users with slower

computers might like to do this if they

are having performance issues. It could

also be useful if you want to limit Scratch

Live’s processor usage, for example if you

are running a recording program at the

same time. The default setting is 60 Hz,

or refreshed 60 times per second. This

setting applies to the entire screen (i.e. the

Virtual Decks, the Waveforms, the Library,

and the Setup screen).

Audio Cache

Use the slider to set the amount of audio

that is loaded into memory. A small

audio cache will place less load on your

computer, and the tracks will load faster.

A large audio cache will give you a bigger

view of the waveform when the main

waveform view is zoomed out.

The

Hardware

Control

Panel

On the left side of the screen, click the

Hardware button to show the hardware

control panel.

You can control many of the features of

Scratch Live directly from your TTM 57SL.

The hardware panel shows you what

functions in the software are connected to

the mixer’s physical controls, and allows

you to customize the control assignments.

It also provides an interface for the effects

running in the mixer.

TTM 57SL Control of Scratch

Live

Each of the controls on the mixer controls

a software function in Scratch Live.

Each parameter knob (labelled P1 and

P2 on the mixer) has two states. The LED

next to P1 and P2 on the mixer indicates

the state: the control above applies when

the LED is off, the control below applies

when the LED is on. Some controls, such

as “tap tempo”, and “load track” are

momentary.

The joysticks J1 and J2 also have two

states. When the LED next to J1 or J2

is on, the joystick controls Scratch Live

software. When the LED is not lit, the

joystick acts as a transform switch. To

switch between using the joystick as a

control for Scratch Live and a transform

switch, press the joystick straight down

and hold it down.

NOTE: the joystick is also a button,

press it straight down, as if you were

trying to push it into the mixer — you

will feel it click.

When you are in transform mode, the

LED next to the joystick is not lit, and its

controls on the Scratch Live hardware

panel are grayed out.

Groups

Functions are organized in a series of

groups. Each group contains a bank of

software controls. The rst two groups are

custom groups, designed to contain the

commands you need most often during

a set. The next four groups contain other

functions ordered by category.

To access a group, press the GROUP

button on the mixer, then press:

B1 – General: Custom group 1, with the

most common commands.

B2 – Library: Custom group 2 — move

through library, make new recordings.

B3 – Playback: Control all playback

functions directly from the mixer.

B4 – Cue/Loop: Full control over all

cue points on both Virtual Decks and

looping.

B5 – Recording: Select source and start /

stop / save / play recordings.

B6 – Effects: Select and insert effects.

Adjust effect parameters.

Customize Control Assignments

You can customize almost all of the

software control assignments. To change

what a button, parameter knob or joystick

does to Scratch Live, right-click (PC)

or control-click (Mac) on the control

label while in Groups 1 through 5. A list

appears, and you can choose the new

function you wish to have associated with

that control.

Some software functions can be

assigned to either the left or the right

Virtual Deck. If you choose a function

that can be assigned to a Deck, after you

select the function from the menu, you will

be presented with another list. Choose

selected Deck to have the function

controlled by the DECK button on the

mixer, or Left Deck or Right Deck to have

it always apply to one of the Decks.

Any customization resides in the

computer, not in the mixer. This means

that if two different DJs, each with their

own laptop, use the same mixer, each DJ

can have their own custom groups.

(Group B6) Effects

The TTM 57SL has two built in effects processors. Unlike other groups, when you are in the effects group, the DECK button on the

mixer switches between these two effects processors. DECK 1 activates Processor 1, and DECK 2 activates Processor 2. Each effect

has parameters controlled by P1 and P2. See “Effects” on page 41.

The left joystick, J1, sets the BPM (tempo) multiplier. Set the BPM by tapping P1 to the beat, or manually adjust by turning P1. The

optional footswitch can also tap in the BPM. Use the left joystick to quickly halve, split, double or quadruple the tempo. The buttons

B1 through B4 set the effect’s insert point: either PGM, the Aux bus (which includes the Mic) or the Main output.

Internal Digital Effects

There are two Effects Processors in the

TTM 57SL. Digital Effects hang out in

the mixer instead of the software so they

are available for signal processing even

when Scratch Live is not running. Each

processor can load one of ten effects:

• Echo [post fader]

• Hold Echo [post fader]

• HP Echo [post fader]

• HP Hold Echo [post fader]

• LP Filter (Low Pass) [pre fader]

• BP Filter (Band Pass) [pre fader]

• HP Filter (High Pass) [pre fader]

• Phaser [pre fader]

• Flanger [pre fader]

• Desecrator [pre fader]

When Scratch Live is running, the

deployed effect for each Effect Processor

is shown onscreen, along with all of the

control assignments and settings. The

Effects are still available when the mixer

is operating stand-alone, however, there

is no display for indicating the deployed

Effect, control assignment or settings.

Scratch Live software effect controls

mirror the TTM 57SL front panel. When

one status changes, so does the other.

For this reason, you may want to begin

by using the Effects with Scratch Live

software to learn control assignments.

Typically, Effects are controlled by ear. If

you know which Effect is installed in the

Effects Processors and what controls are

assigned to what functions, the Effects

are very usable without the software.

The function of the controls has been

standardized to help keep stand-alone

operation simple. The TTM 57SL ships

with Echo in Processor 1, and LP Filter in

Processor 2 before Scratch Live reassigns

them.

Press GROUP then B6. See “Groups” on

page 38.

Inserting an Effect

There are four possible insert points

for a deployed Effect: PGM 1, PGM 2,

AUX BUS or Main Mix. When an Effects

Processor is inserted in PGM 1 or PGM 2,

pre- or post-fader operation is determined

by the Effect. Both the Echo Effects are

post-fader, and all the Filter Effects are

pre-fader. Both Effects Processors can

use the same insert point, but the order

depends on the effect. For instance,

the Filter effect will be processed rst

(because it is pre-fader), and the Echo

effect will be processed second (because

it is post-fader). If both are Filter Effects,

Processor 1 will be rst.

NOTE: Any Effect can only be loaded

into one of the processors.

The controls required to select an Effects

Processor and determine it’s insert point

are shown below. The DECK button

selects the Effects Processor to be

controlled. Pressing the button toggles

between Effects Processor 1 and Effects

Processor 2.

B1 puts the selected processor in PGM 1.

B2 puts the selected processor in PGM 2.

B3 puts the selected processor in AUX Bus.

B4 puts the selected processor in Main Mix.

To share an effect with both PGM 1 and

PGM2, insert the effect in the Aux Bus

and use the FlexFX switches. Remember

that an effect in the Aux Bus affects the

FlexFX, Mic and Aux Inputs.

Effects

Hard & Soft Control Panels

These “soft” controls have multiple

functions for controlling Scratch Live.

These also control the Internal Digital

Effects when the mixer is operated stand-

alone without a computer. The Effects

function the same way if connected to the

Scratch Live software or when using the

TTM 57SL without a computer.

The last soft control is the optional

footswitch. A footswitch allows hands-free

control of these effects parameters:

• Tap to set the BPM.

• Turn the Effect on & off.

• Select between the two Effects

Processors (same as the DECK switch).

The footswitch can also assist with

looping and recording functions. These

are shown in the Groups section. See

“Footswitch Diagram” on page 55.

Effects Cueing

You can cue an effect before you turn it

on so that you can check how it sounds

before you bring it into the mix. Button B5

turns the Effect Cue on or off. Note that

if you turn Effect Cue on, it stays on even

when you switch between effects.

For an Effect Cue to be heard in the

headphones, the Effect Processor must

be selected, Effect Cue must be on and

the Cue Pan and Master Cue controls

must be in the correct position.

For instance, with a track playing in

PGM 1:

1. Select Processor 1 to choose your

Effect.

2. Select B1 to route PGM 1 to the Effect.

3. Select B5 to Cue the Effect in your

phones.

4. Select B6 to send the Effect to the

Master.

5. Echo Effects are post-fader, so the

fader needs to be up to send the Effect

a signal. Other Effects do not rely on the

fader.

The Effects Cue for an Effect inserted

in Main or Aux Bus is only heard in the

headphones if the Master Cue switch is

on. The Hold Echos are the only Effects

that cannot be heard in the headphones

unless it is on and also sent to the Master.

effects parameters. J1 and J2 each

feature an eight-position joystick, a push

switch and a green mode indicator light.

• If the indicator light is off, the associated

joystick operates as a transform switch.

• If the green indicator light is on,

the joystick is assigned to an effect

pages. Pressing the joystick toggles

between the two modes of operation.

If a second function is not available,

pressing the joystick has no effect. See

P2 Resonance / Depth

Resonance is adjusted using the primary

function of P2 (indicator off). The diagrams

show the different resonances for each

Filter type.

LP and HP Filter Resonance determines

how peaked the cutoff is, which is

adjustable over a range of 0.7 to 3.0.

BP Filter Resonance determines the

width of the peak, which is adjustable

over a range of 0.7 to 3.0.

Depth is adjusted using the second

function of P2 (green indicator on).

Depth sets how far the sweep of the

LFO (low frequency oscillator) modulates

the Frequency set by P1. The Depth is

adjustable ±4.5 octaves. The full range is

reached in 1

rotations of P2. With Depth

at minimum, the LFO ceases to have any

effect, and P1 becomes a manual sweep

control.

Wet / Dry Mix

Pressing J2 toggles between transform

operation (indicator off) and Wet / Dry

control (green indicator on). The lter

default is 100% wet. Holding the joystick

left goes more Dry, to the right goes more

Wet. Moving the joystick up provides

instant, momentary 100% Wet. Moving

the joystick down provides instant,

momentary 100% Dry. This allows Wet or

Dry transforming with the control returning

to the set Wet/Dry ratio when the control

is at rest (in the center).

Phaser / Flanger

Control Assignments

Phasing is a swept comb-lter effect with

no linear harmonic relationship between

the comb teeth. Splitting an audio signal

in two, shifting the phase of one signal by

passing it through an all-pass lter, then

recombining, creates the phasing effect.

The control response is shown below.

P1 Phaser Frequency / Flanger

Delay / Tap BPM

The Phaser’s primary function of P1

(indicator off) is lter frequency, starting

at 722 Hz and adjusts from 31.5 Hz to 16

kHz (9 octaves). The full sweep of the lter

is reached in 1

rotations of P1.

The Flanger’s primary function of P1

(indicator off) is Base Delay, adjustable

from 0 to 11.6 milliseconds. The Base

Delay sets the high frequency point of the

sweep. The Depth control (P2) sets the

range of the swept comb lter.

If the track has a BPM tag, the sweep

matches it and a lock icon appears in the

BPM section. To manually set the sweep

BPM, tap P1 to the beat. The default BPM

is 120. Tapping P1 can set it from 24 to

480 with a resolution of 0.1 BPM. A single

Tap of P1 resyncs the sweep to BPM.

Multiplier

The BPM Multiplier is selected with J1,

toggling between transform operation

and BPM multiplier. If the green mode

indicator is on, J1 may adjust the

multiplier to 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, ¾, ½, or ¼.

Feedback / Depth

Feedback is the primary function of P2

(indicator off) controlling the amount of

phased or delayed signal fed back to the

input, increasing “fatness.” Minimum to

maximum is 1

rotations of P2.

Depth is adjusted using the second

function of P2 (green indicator on). Depth

sets how far the sweep of the LFO (low

frequency oscillator) modulates the

Frequency (Phaser) or Delay (Flanger) as

set by P1. Phaser Depth is adjustable

from 0 to ±4.5 octaves, and Delay Depth

is adjustable from 0 to 11.6 ms. The full

range is reached in 1

rotations of P2.

With Depth at minimum, the LFO ceases

to have any effect, and P1 becomes a

manual sweep control.

Wet / Dry Mix

Pressing J2 toggles between transform

operation (indicator off) and Wet / Dry

control (indicator on). The phaser / anger

default is 100% wet. J2 has the same

operation on all effects. See “J2 Wet /

Dry Mix” on page 44.

Echo Effects Control

Assignments

If the track has a BPM tag, the Echo

BPM is automatically set and a lock icon

appears in the Echo section. To manually

set the BPM of the Echo, tap P1 (or the

footswitch) to the beat.

P1 Delay / Tap BPM

Once you turn P1, the lock icon

disappears, the Multiplier number turns

white and P1 becomes a Delay control.

Delay has a range of 1ms to 2.9 seconds,

and a track without a BPM tag will start at

500 ms. A slow turn gives 1ms adjustment

resolution, while a fast turn increases

the resolution to 200 ms per step. To get

back to the original BPM after adjusting

Delay, select a multiplier with J1, and the

Multiplier number changes to green. A

single Tap of P1 will resync the delay to

the BPM.

Multiplier

Pressing J1 toggles between normal

transform operation (indicator off) and

the BPM Multiplier (green indicator on).

With the green indicator lit, J1 adjusts the

multiplier to 4, 2, 1, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, or

1/16. Multipliers that exceed the Delay

memory will not function and are grayed-

out in the software control panel. If BPM is

set with tapping, the multiplier is set to 1.

The multiplier is not reset when the BPM

is set via the ID3 tag, so your subsequent

tracks can stay at p46-x4 if you wish. The

active Multiplier is shown in green text

when locked to a BPM.

Feedback

Feedback is the amount of delayed signal

fed back to the delay input. Feedback

minimum to maximum is 1

rotations

of P2. The Delay clears after one

circulation when Feedback is brought to

0%. The Delay clears immediately when

uninserted, but changing the insert point

does not clear the feedback loop. This

is useful for adding PGM 2 Echo to the

fading PGM 1 Echo. To clear the loop

and start a fresh Echo immediately, rapid

double-click on the insert point B1, B2,

B3 or B4.

Wet / Dry Mix

Pressing J2 toggles between transform

operation (indicator off) and Wet / Dry

control (green indicator on). The echo

default is 50% Wet / 50% Dry. J2 has the

same operation on all effects. See “J2

Wet / Dry Mix” on page 44.

Hold Echo Control

Assignments

If the track has a BPM tag, the Echo

BPM is automatically set and a lock icon

appears in the Echo section. To manually

set the BPM of the Echo, tap P1 (or the

footswitch) to the beat.

Hold Echo Effect Differences

• Feedback starts with 100% but

adjustable to 0% with P2.

• Feedback generates as long as it is

inserted and B6 is on.

• Delay still loops after B6 is off. If

Feedback is set to 100% it will loop for

days. The loop will decay if Feedback is

reduced. Uninsert the Effect to stop the

loop immediately.

• P2 has no second function in the Hold

Troubleshooting and

Frequently Asked Questions

The audio playback is dropping out /

clicking / popping

Scratch Live is not getting a clear signal

from vinyl, or your computer is not able to

process quickly enough. Go to the Setup

screen and check the scope views. When

the record is playing, the circles should be

round, and the value in the bottom right

corner should be 100%. If this is not true,

you need to calibrate. See “Calibrating

Scratch Live” on page 12.

Try increasing the USB audio buffer size

if your computer is close to the minimum

spec. See “USB Buffer Size (Latency)”

on page 33.

Clean your needles! This is the most

common cause of audio drop-out.

Because you are playing the same record

over and over, the needles will get dirty

more quickly than usual.

The threshold goes to the far right

when I click the estimate button

Make sure the needle is on the record

and the record is stopped when you click

Estimate. If the slider goes hard right

and stays there, you most likely have an

earthing problem with your turntables/

mixer. If you cannot eliminate this

problem, use REL mode over ABS mode.

Scratch Live makes a strange digital

noise, even when no track is playing

Scratch Live is interpreting background

noise as record movement. Go to the

Setup screen and move the threshold

slider (located left of the Estimate button)

to the right until the noise stops. See

“Calibrating Scratch Live” on page

12.

The tracks are playing backwards!

The inputs (from the turntables or CD

players) are the wrong way around. Try

swapping red and white wires at one end.

I can’t get the Scope View to show nice

clean circles

Select phono as the audio input level in

the setup screen if you are using vinyl.

Check your needles to be sure they are

clean. If the circles look fuzzy, try cleaning

your control record. If the Scope View

shows a line instead of a circle, Scratch

Live is only receiving a signal from one

channel. Check all your cables, and the

connection between your cartridges and

the tone arm. You can order replacement

control records from your local distributor.

In the USA, you may order these from the

Rane Factory Store at rane.com.

The ﬁrst time I play a new track, it

takes a while to load

Scratch Live has to read the entire le

and create a le index the rst time it is

loaded. This may take a few seconds for

longer les. After the rst load, it should

load instantly. See “Preparing Your Files”

on page 14.

I have a particular MP3 that won’t play /

plays badly / takes a long time to load /

crashes the program.

The le may be damaged, and may need

to be deleted from your library. Please go

to the forum at serato.com and notify the

support team that you have a bad le.

By reporting damaged or corrupt les,

you will help the developers to improve

Scratch Live’s ability to play damaged

MP3 les in the future.

I get a loud screeching sound like a fax

machine and no music, what am I doing

wrong?

That is the sound of the control signal —

make sure you are listening to inputs D1

and D2 when using Scratch Live.

Scratch Live freaks out when I use the

master tempo (key correction) function

on my CD player

Scratch Live interprets the signal coming

out of the CD player, and uses this

information to control the play back of

the les on your computer. Any audio

processing performed on the signal before

it reaches the hardware interface, such

as key correction, will scramble the signal

making it illegible to Scratch Live. Key

lock is available in Scratch Live. See “Key

Lock” on page 17.

I want to backup my library and crates

or move them to another machine, so

where are they stored?

Your database and crates are stored in

the folder Home\Music\_Serato_ on a

Mac, and My Documents\My Music\_

Serato_ in Windows XP, and Libraries\

Music\_Serato_ in Windows 7. If your

library contains tracks that are stored on

a drive other than your boot drive, a folder

called _Serato_ will be created in the root

of that drive, and a separate database will

be made in this folder. If it is a removable

drive, the tracks will only appear in your

library when the drive is connected. See

“Scratch Live Backup” on page 31.

I have pink ﬁles which don’t play

These are les which Scratch Live thinks

are missing. You can use the Relocate

Lost Files feature in the Ofine player to

re-associate these with their new location.

To do this you can either: drag the le

itself from Finder/Windows explorer onto

the button to relocate an individual le,

drag an entire folder onto this button,

or press the button (this will search all

connected drives for all the missing les in

your library).

I have cue burn at the beginning of my

control record, does that mean I need

to replace it?

No, use the Track start offset function in

the Setup screen to move the point at

which tracks begin to a position further

into the vinyl. See “Vinyl Start Offset” on

page 36.

To keep up with the latest tips, visit

the Ofcial Scratch Live Forum online at

Corrupt File Descriptions

and Diagnoses

Corrupt ﬁle: This MP3 contains invalid

frames.

This MP3 contains frames which do not conform strictly to the ofcial MP3 specication.

Scratch Live can not be certain that this le will play back 100% accurately.

Corrupt ﬁle: This ﬁle contains corrupt

frames that may result in audible glitches.

This le contains two or more contiguous corrupt frames. Since corrupt frames are

replaced with silence, this could result in what might sound like an audio glitch.

Corrupt ﬁle: This ﬁle structure is incorrect.

This le has caused the QuickTime metadata manager to fail.

Corrupt ﬁle: This ﬁle has been split. You

should check the beginning for audio

glitches.

The rst MPEG audio frame in this le refers to audio that should be present before it

but is not. This is usually the result of incorrect MP3 editing. Since a corrupt frame is

replaced with silence and most songs start with silence, the resulting silence might not be

noticeable. All the same, listen to the beginning of the song, just to be sure.

Corrupt ﬁle: This MP3 contains frames

with corrupt data.

Decoding of an MPEG audio frame failed. This means that the frame contained invalid

data. As usual with corrupt frames, this frame will be played as silence.

Corrupt ﬁle: This MP3 lost syncronization

between the frame index and the frames.

Scratch Live is reading an old overview of an MP3 that has been edited in a 3rd party

editing program. Re-building the overviews for the affected les usually corrects this error.

Corrupt ﬁle: This MP3 is completely invalid

and is not playable.

Self explanatory. Possible causes are disk bad sectors, le system corruption, wrong le

types, wrong le extensions, etc

Corrupt ﬁle: This ﬁle contains invalid audio

data.

Scratch Live encountered invalid data while looking for audio in this le. This message

alerts you to the fact that the le you're trying to play contains corrupt data. This may, or

may not, affect playback.

Corrupt ﬁle: This MP3 contains no valid

frames.

No audio could be found in this le, which means it is completely unplayable as far as

Scratch Live is concerned. Please make sure this really is an audio le.

Unsupported ﬁle: This MP3 contains

multiple layers.

While scanning, Scratch Live found frames belonging to multiple MPEG layers. Scratch

Live does not support MP3s that contain frames from multiple layers – some frames may

be output as silence.

Unsupported ﬁle: This ﬁle is more than

2GB in size.

Self explanatory. At the moment, Scratch Live does not support les that are 2GB in size

(or larger).

Unsupported ﬁle: This ﬁle has data blocks

greater than 2GB in size.

This le contains chunks of data that are larger than 2GB. Scratch Live does not support

les that are more than 2GB in size.

Corrupt ﬁle: This WAV contains no valid

chunks.

This WAV le contains no recognizable WAV data. It is quite possible that this might not

be a WAV le.

Unsupported ﬁle: This ﬁle's data is not in

PCM format.

WAV les can contain data in several formats. Scratch Live only supports WAV les that

contain data in the PCM format.

Unsupported ﬁle: This ﬁle has a sampling

rate greater than 96 kHz.

Scratch Live does not support sampling rates greater than 96 kHz. If you see this

message, the simplest approach is to re-sample the audio at 96 kHz and re-save the le.

Unsupported ﬁle: This ﬁle uses more than

24 bits per sample

Scratch Live supports a maximum of 24 bits per sample of audio data.

Corrupt ﬁle: This WAV is incomplete.

Scratch Live expected more data in the le, but found none. This could be because the

le was incorrectly truncated or because the data in the le is corrupt, causing Scratch

Live to incorrectly estimate the amount of data present in the le.

Corrupt ﬁle: This ﬁle contains corrupt

blocks.

This le contains blocks of data that report their size to be zero. This message was

inserted to identify les that might cause lockups on previous versions of Scratch Live.

Corrupt ﬁle: This song contains no audio

data.

Scratch Live could not nd any audio in this le. Please check to make sure this le

contains audio in a format that Scratch Live supports.

Corrupt ﬁle: This song contains invalid

samples.

This le contains samples of audio that are too small to represent accurately and will

therefore be truncated to zero. This should not result in any audible audio artifacts, but

could cause audio dropouts on earlier versions of Scratch Live.

Scope Readings and Fixes

Most of the problems that occur with Scratch Live can be attributed to it not getting a good reading of the control signal from your

records or CDs. These examples show what the scopes on the setup screen can look like to help solve possible problems. Some

problems cause similar looking scopes, e.g., if your scopes look like the Dusty Needle one, the cause could be a damaged needle.

GOOD SIGNAL - Clean signal with 100%

tracking.

NO SIGNAL - Scratch Live is not receiving

any control signal - check your

connections.

BAD TURNTABLE VIBRATION - Bass is reaching

the stylus. Try to isolate the turntable from

the speakers.

CD PLAYER INTO PHONO INPUT - The TTM

57SL is set to receive a phono level input.

Switch to the LINE setting on the TTM.

PHONO INTO LINE INPUT - The TTM 57SL is

set to receive line level input. Switch to the

PHONO setting on the TTM 57SL.

DUSTY NEEDLE - Dust is preventing the

stylus from tracking the groove correctly.

Clean your needle and the control vinyl.

UNEARTHED - Very susceptible to

interference. Attach the turntable’s ground

wire to the TTM 57SL.

USING PIGGYBACK CABLES - Picking up lots

of noise, barely tracking. Connect your

turntables directly to the TTM 57SL.

DAMAGED NEEDLE - Try re-seating, cleaning

or replacing your stylus.

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

RECORD BURN - This section of the control

vinyl has been worn. Swap sides or use

the track start offset.

LEFT CHANNEL MISSING - The signal from

the needle is not reaching the TTM 57SL.

Check the cable and cartridge wiring.

RIGHT CHANNEL MISSING - The signal from

the needle is not reaching the TTM 57SL.

Check the cable and cartridge wiring.

BAD RECORD BURN - Your record is worn and

Scratch Live is unable to track correctly.

Swap sides or get new vinyl ASAP.

LEFT CHANNEL IS NOISE - Left signal has

been lost with a noisy loose connection.

RIGHT CHANNEL IS NOISE - Right signal has

been lost with a noisy loose connection.

TONEARM IS SLIGHTLY TOO LIGHT -

Susceptible to dust and vibration. Adjust

the tonearm.

SIGNALS ARE SUMMING TO MONO - The left

and right signals have been combined into

one somewhere in your signal chain.

RIGHT CHANNEL IS INTERFERENCE - Right

signal has been lost with a noisy loose

connection and left channel crosstalk.

Footswitch Diagram

Rane does not manufacture or distribute

the optional foot switch. The foot switch

needs to be a passive pull-down device

capable of grounding the TIP, RING or TIP

and RING to get the three possible states.

Good choices are the DigiTech FS300 or

GNXFC. To the right is a basic diagram

of a 3-switch foot switch. Three buttons

gives the most exibility, but you can also

use one or two button footswitches. To

conﬁgure Scratch Live to work with 1,

2 or 3 button footswitches, see “Foot

switch Type” on page 34.

Warranty Procedure - Valid in U.S.A. only

NOTICE! You must complete and return the warranty card or register your product online to extend the

Warranty from 2 years to 3 years!

TO VALIDATE YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY: Use the postcard that came in the box with your unit, or go to www.rane.com and

since this is how warranties are tracked. If your Rane product was purchased in the U.S.A., mail the completed card or register

online with to Rane Corporation within 10 days from the date of purchase. If you purchased the product outside the U.S.A. you

must ﬁle your warranty registration with the Rane Distributor in that country. It is advised that you keep your bill of sale as

proof of purchase, should any difculties arise concerning the registration of the warranty card. NOTICE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO

WARRANTY REGISTRATION is made and tracked by MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS ONLY, not by the purchaser’s or owner’s name.

is being sent to Rane for repair, please call the factory for a Return Authorization number. We recommend advance notice be given to

the repair facility to avoid possible needless shipment in case the problem can be solved over the phone. UNAUTHORIZED SERVICE

PERFORMED ON ANY RANE PRODUCT WILL VOID ITS EXISTING FACTORY WARRANTY.

FACTORY SERVICE: If you wish your Rane product to be serviced at the factory, it must be shipped FULLY INSURED, IN THE

ORIGINAL PACKING OR EQUIVALENT. This warranty will NOT cover repairs on products damaged through improper packaging. If

possible, avoid sending products through the mail. Be sure to include in the package:

1. Complete return street shipping address (P.O. Box numbers are NOT acceptable).

2. A detailed description of any problems experienced, including the make and model numbers of any other system equipment.

responsible for all customs procedures, duties, tariffs and deposits.

In order to qualify for Rane’s one year extended warranty (for a total of 3 years parts and labor), the

warranty must be completely ﬁlled out and sent to us immediately. Valid in USA only.

We recommend you write your serial number here in your owners manual

and on your sales receipt for your records.
