Scope Readings 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.
NO SIGNAL - Scratch Live is not receiving
any control signal - check your
connections.
BAD TURNTABLE VIBRATION - Bass is reaching
the stylus. Try to isolate the turntable from
the speakers.
CD PLAYER INTO PHONO INPUT - The TTM
57SL is set to receive a phono level input.
Switch to the LINE setting on the TTM.
PHONO INTO LINE INPUT - The TTM 57SL is
set to receive line level input. Switch to the
PHONO setting on the TTM 57SL.
DUSTY NEEDLE - Dust is preventing the
stylus from tracking the groove correctly.
Clean your needle and the control vinyl.
UNEARTHED - Very susceptible to
interference. Attach the turntable’s ground
wire to the TTM 57SL. USING PIGGYBACK CABLES - Picking up lots
of noise, barely tracking. Connect your
turntables directly to the TTM 57SL.
DAMAGED NEEDLE - Try re-seating, cleaning
or replacing your stylus.
