Playing tracks direct from audio CD

You can play tracks direct from an audio CD in your CD-ROM drive. When you insert the CD into your computer, it appears under your Scratch LIVE library. Click on the CD and the tracks will be displayed in the track list.

Tip: Disable any third-party CD Auto-Play functions be- fore inserting a CD, as they may interfere with Scratch LIVE.

Previewing tracks

You can preview the tracks in your library using your computer’s default media player. Highlight a track and press ctrl-o. This will launch the player your computer has associated with the file type, and start playback. Also applies to the import panel.

Recording

The MP 4 allows you to record from several sources, allowing you to convert vinyl and tape to digital, make samples, or record a performance. The recording will be saved to disk as 24-bit

48K Stereo AIFF files. Recordings are saved in ‘My Documents\ My Music\ScratchLIVE\Recording’ on a PC, and ~/Music/Scratch- LIVE/Recording/ on a Mac. Recordings will also be automatically added to your Scratch LIVE library, and added to a crate named Recorded.

By clicking immediately to the right of the record light, you

can select which input to record. The function mix will save the mixed output to disk. You can choose whether the Mic Input is included in this recording by pressing the MIC TO USB RECORD button on the back of the MP 4. Functions a in and b in will save Program A or Program B respectively. The mic function will ignore all other inputs, saving only the microphone input.

Press the red record button to start and stop recording. Enter a name for the recording in the text field to the right of the elapsed time. Press the save button b to save the recording to disk.

Tip: Use keyboard shortcut ctrl-n to start a new recording.
