Scope Reading And Fixes - Rane SIXTY-ONE Operator's Manual

SCOPE READING 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.
CD PLAyER INTO PHONO INPUT - The Sixty-One is
set to receive a phono level input. Switch to the correct
setting on the mixer.
UNEARTHED -
Very susceptible to interference.
Attach the turntable's ground wire to the Sixty-One.
42
NO SIGNAL - Scratch Live is not receiving any control
signal - check your connections.
PHONO INTO LINE INPUT - The Sixty-One is set to
receive line level input. Switch to the correct setting on
the mixer.
USING PIGGyBACk CABLES - Picking up huge
amounts of noise, barely tracking. Check your cables.
BAD TURNTABLE VIBRATION - Bass is reaching the
stylus. Try to isolate the turntable from the speakers.
DUSTy NEEDLE - Dust is preventing the stylus from
tracking the groove correctly. Clean your needle and
the control vinyl.
DAMAGED NEEDLE - Try re-seating, cleaning or
replacing your stylus.
