useful if you know the location of your
files, as it only scans the drag and drop
location, with faster relocation.

Deleting Crates and Tracks

To delete tracks from your Scratch Live
library, select the track and use the
keyboard shortcut ctrl-delete. Make
sure you have the

Protect library option

unchecked in the Library tab of the Setup
screen.
• Deleting a track when you are in the

All...” playlist removes it from your

library and any crates that the track may
be in.

• Deleting a track inside a crate removes it

from that crate but the file will remain in
your “

All...” playlist.

• Deleting a track from a subcrate will

remove it from the subcrate and the
main crate but not the “

All...” playlist.

• Crates that are deleted are sent to the

recycle bin/trash.

NOTE: To delete any files from your
library and your hard drive (sending
them to the recycle bin) use the
shortcut ctrl-shift-delete.

If you are using iTunes playlists, your files
cannot be deleted this way. You will need
to delete them from within iTunes.

Copy & Move Files & Folders

Scratch Live gives you the ability to
copy and move files, folders and crates
between drives or to a new location on the
same drive.
To copy or move your files and/or
folders, open the Files panel and select,
drag and drop them in the desired new
location. Scratch Live will then prompt
you with the following options:

Copy: Select this to make a copy of
the selected files and folders in the new

location. Your Scratch Live library will now
contain entries for both the originals and
copies.

Move: Select this to move the selected
files and/or folders to the new location.
Your Scratch Live library and crates
will now reference the files in their new
location.

Cancel: Cancel any changes.

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. The original
files will still be kept in their current
location, but will no longer referenced in
your Scratch Live library.

Copy & Move Crates

You can also copy or move your Crates
and Subcrates to another drive in the
same way. Open the Files panel and
select, drag and drop your Crates or
Subcrates to the new drive. You will
be presented with the same options
as mentioned above. See the Support
Articles at serato.com.

Scratch Live Backup

Scratch Live stores your library database
and crates information in the Scratch Live
folder on your hard disk. This folder is
created on a drive when files are added
to 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 when exiting Scratch
Live. 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.
Backup will only keep ONE level backup
at a time; each time backup runs it
overwrites the previous backup.

Note: Make sure you back up your
music separately. This backup function
only backs up the Scratch Live folder,
not your music files.

Stereo recording is possible even while
using two stereo vinyl control inputs.

1. Click on the

 triangle for the drop

menu displaying the three record Input
Sources.

2. Select the desired source and press the

record icon to start recording.

3. The record icon flashes while recording

and the display shows the elapsed
recording time.

4. Press the record icon again to stop the

recording.

5. To save the recording, type in a name

for the recording and click the save icon.

6. The recording is automatically placed

in a crate named “RECORDED”. If the
crate does not already exist, it will be
created automatically.

7. To start a new recording without saving,

simply click the record button again.

Recordings can be loaded onto the
Decks, renamed, and managed like other
files. Recordings are saved as 16-bit, 44.1
kHz stereo AIFF files
Recordings are saved in “My
Documents\My Music\_Serato_\
Recording” in Windows XP, “Libraries\
Music\_Serato_\Recording” in Windows 7,
and “~/Music/_Serato_/Recording Temp”
on a Mac.
