Drop the needle into a loud part of the track, record a few seconds, and then shift left arrow or shift right arrow to load it on to the Virtual Deck. TIP: Remember that ctrl-n turns recording on and off, and you can load a recording without saving it using shift left arrow or shift right arrow. Click the triangle next to the record button to select from Aux, Left (deck) or Right (deck) inputs. Sampling From Vinyl You can use the SL 3 interface to sample from vinyl or any other sound source. NOTE: Recording files are automatically split when the recording exceeds 3 hours (16-bit) or 1 hour 50 minutes (24-bit). If the Virtual Deck is set to INT mode and is unloaded, the input record level is sent to the Virtual Deck’s higher resolution stereo meters, e.g., if you’re recording from the Right Deck, set the right Virtual Deck to INT, eject the track if there is one loaded, and the Virtual Deck’s meters will show the signal coming into the Right Deck’s input.Load a recording without saving it using the shortcut keys shift left arrow to the Left Deck or shift right arrow to the Right Deck.The keyboard shortcut ctrl-n turns recording on and off.Turn down the level at your audio source before it reaches the SL 3. NOTE: If you turn the record Gain knob down and the red clip led is still illuminated, the signal is clipping the input of the SL 3. You can now see the input level on the Virtual Deck’s higher resolution stereo meter. To do this, eject the loaded track from the appropriate Virtual Deck - the left Virtual Deck if recording from input one, or the right Virtual Deck if recording from input two. You can also use the Virtual Deck’s output level meter to monitor the input level. Ideally the meter should sit just below the red, meaning your signal is as loud as it can be without clipping. The meter reveals the level of your audio. Record Gain Knob Adjust the record level using this Gain knob. Recordings are saved as 24-bit, 48 kHz stereo AIFF files by default. Recordings are saved in “MyDocuments\My- Music\ScratchLive\Recording” on a PC and “~/ Music/ScratchLive/Recording Temp” on a Mac. Recordings can be loaded onto the decks, renamed, and managed like other files. To start a new recording without saving, simply click the record button again. If the crate does not already exist, it will be created automatically. The recording is automatically placed in a crate named “RECORDED”. To save the recording, type in a name for the recording and click the save icon. Click the flashing record icon again to stop the recording. The record icon flashes while recording and the display shows the elapsed recording time. Click the red record icon to start recording. Choose the Input Source by clicking on the downward arrow (icon) to get the drop menu. Select the RECORD button at the left of the screen to open the Record controls. Aux in Stereo recording is possible even while using two stereo vinyl control inputs. ![]() Recording Scratch Live allows you to record one of three stereo signals from the SL 3: ![]() This backup function only backs up the Scratch Live folder, not your music files. NOTE: Make sure you back up your music separately. Backup will only keep ONE level backup at a time each time backup runs, it overwrites the previous backup. 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. This folder is created when exiting 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 on a drive when files are added to Scratch Live. Scratch Live Backup Scratch Live stores your library database and crates information in the Scratch Live folder on your hard disk. You will be presented with the same options as mentioned above. Open the Files panel and select, drag and drop your Crates or Subcrates to the new drive. Copying and Moving Crates You can also copy or move your Crates and Subcrates to another drive in the same way. The original files will still be kept in their current location, but will no longer referenced in your Scratch Live library. 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. Your Scratch Live library and crates will now reference the files in their new location. Move: Select this to move the selected files and/ or folders to the new location.
