Two Computer Connection - Rane SIXTY-EIGHT Operator's Manual

Two
Computer
Connection
The Sixty-Eight allows two computers
running Scratch Live to connect to the
mixer simultaneously. This allows two DJs
to play at the same time and for easy DJ
handover.
Connect both computers to the two
USB ports on the Sixty-Eight. On each
computer, select a USB Source for each
Virtual Deck. For any Virtual Decks on
either computer that aren't to be used, set
the USB Source to None.
NOTE: If you can't select a particular
USB source for a Deck, make sure it is
not already set on another computer
or Virtual Deck. Each USB Source
can only be set to one virtual deck on
one computer at a time. When two
computers are connected, you can use
up to 4 USB sources in total.
Press the coNtroL PoINt button on the
Sixty-Eight to select which computer is
controlled by the Sixty-Eight's control
Strips.
• Computer A = orange.
• Computer B = green.

DJ Handover
Swapping between two DJs both using
Scratch Live is now easier than ever! With
a computer already connected to the
Sixty-Eight and playing, do the following:
1. Connect the second computer to the
unused USB port on the Sixty-Eight.
2a. Using Four Control Sources: Select
a USB Source for a Virtual Deck that
is not already being used on the first
computer. If the first DJ is using all four
USB sources, you will need to politely
ask them to free up at least one channel
for you to take over. See "USB Sources
& Analog Inputs" on page 24.

2b. Using Two Control Sources:
Unassign the USB Source for the non-
playing Virtual Deck on Computer A.
Then have Computer B assign that same
USB Source to one of its Virtual Decks.
See "USB Sources & Analog Inputs"
on page 24.
3. Play a track on this Deck and mix it in
when ready — you'll now have audio
from both computers in the mix.
4. Fade out the audio playing from the first
computer to the audio playing from the
second computer.
5. When only audio from the second
computer is left in the mix, remove the
first computer.
6. Assign USB sources for the remaining
Virtual Decks on the second computer
and continue DJing.
