8. TROUBLESHOOTING

1. My Mass Storage Device isn’t showing up

SCS.4DJ supports a majority of USB-based Mass Storage Devices (hard drives, iPod’s/iPhone’s, Thumb Drives). However, SCS.4DJ does not support the following device types:

1.HFS+ Journaled Format Drives 2.Windows 7 Phones

While many drives can be powered by the USB-bus present on the SCS.4DJ, there are drives that require an external power source. Be sure to externally power any USB drive that has an external power supply.

2.I don’t see a waveform on screen/ I don’t see a BPM reading/ I can’t use automatic looping or syncing

SCS.4DJ analyzes all files to prepare them for performance. This is a very extensive analysis, and does take time (around 1/5th of the time it takes your song to play from start to finish). While you will get basic playback functionality during this time, some of the more advanced features won’t be available until the analysis is finished. If you need to perform before then, you can use the TAP TEMPO function to get a BPM readout to start performing now.

3. My drive won’t finish analyzing

If a drive is unplugged or your SCS.4DJ is powered down improperly, this can corrupt the files on your drive, causing analysis to fail. Please connect your drive to your unit and use the “Clean Database” function, located in the ‘DEVICES’ menu under the ‘SYSTEM’ button. This will cause your unit to start fresh. Also note, there is a 20,000 song limit per drive, so, if you have a collection larger than 20,000 songs any songs after the first 20,000 will be unavailable.

4. The Platters won’t “scratch” properly

SCS.4DJ does a calibration every time the unit is turned on for the platters to ensure the most accurate performance possible. If the platters were held down during startup, this can cause performance to be degraded due to an improper calibration. Please re-boot your unit to calibrate again, this time not touching the platters.

5. My Mass Storage Device is taking way too long to finish analyzing

As stated before, your SCS.4DJ does VERY extensive calculations to determine BPM, waveforms, etc. As such, analyzing on your SCS.4DJ can take a long time depending on the size of your collection. (1/5th real time)

6. I’m seeing the wrong BPM value for my music

SCS.4DJ has a powerful analysis engine, but sometimes the song’s BPM is off. 90% of the time this has been because of the engine seeing the song as half/double the tempo it actually is. From the HOME/WAVEFORM screen, you can edit your BPM with the EDIT BPM soft button. This should correct your issue, the beat grid of the song is not edited, however the new BPM value is used by
