useful if you know the location of your
files, as it only scans the drag and drop
location, with faster relocation.
Deleting Crates and 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 file 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
"
• 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 files
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 files, folders and crates
between drives or to a new location on the
same drive.
To copy or move your files 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 files and folders in the new
RANE SL1 FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR'S MANUAL 2.5.0
location. Your Scratch Live library will now
contain entries for both the originals and
copies.
Move: Select this to move the selected
files and/or folders to the new location.
Your Scratch Live library and crates
will now reference the files 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 files in your Scratch
Live library and replace them with the
copies in the new location. The original
files will still be kept in their current
location, but will no longer referenced in
your Scratch Live library.
Copy & Move Crates
All..." playlist.
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. See the 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 files 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.
Recording
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
record icon to start recording.
3. The record icon flashes 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.
Recordings can be loaded onto the
Decks, renamed, and managed like other
files. Recordings are saved as 16-bit, 44.1
kHz stereo AIFF files

Documents\My Music\_Serato_\
Recording" in Windows XP, "Libraries\
Music\_Serato_\Recording" in Windows 7,
and "~/Music/_Serato_/Recording Temp"
on a Mac.
