Scope Reading And Fixes - Rane SIXTY-EIGHT 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-Eight 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-Eight.
