Deck: The Virtual Deck that the song was played
on will be displayed under the deck column. In
the song row, either left or right is displayed. The

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 CDs), select the song you want to insert
after and click the Insert Track button. Double
click the inserted track fields and edit your
information accordingly. When exporting an m3u
playlist [see exporting below] "Inserted Tracks"
will not be present.
Export: You can export each session as a data
file using the Export button. Select a session,
then choose your preferred file Format, and click
Export. There are three possible export formats:
• text: to create a simple text file with your
session information contained within.
• csv: to create a file for use in spreadsheet
software.
• m3u: to create a playlist file, 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 files. (Inserted tracks
within sessions will not be included in an m3u
playlist.)

SERATO SCRATCH LIVE
TIP: To make a new Scratch Live crate
containing your session information, select a
session and drag it to the + new crate icon.
The crate will automatically use the session
date as the crate name.
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 as played or Mark as
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.
